When you have so many customers it's worth spreading the downloads over several days or even weeks.
Do you want to wait weeks for security fixes?

I wonder what happened to the "rapid security response" update mechanism that Apple implemented in Ventura and iOS/iPadOS 16. I feel like it's only been used once, maybe twice, and I would think this kind of security fix update would be a perfect fit for the rapid response mechanism.

i'm on 15.2 beta 3 already so probably won't install 15.1.1 but will still download the 15.1.1 full installer to make bootable usb

presumably the next 15.2 beta will have the security fixes

would you describe installing 15.1.1 over the top of 15.2 beta 3 an upgrade or downgrade?

downgrade in terms of version number, but 15.1.1 came out after 15.2 beta 3 with security fixes, so upgrade in terms of security.

but then you lose the extra ai stuff in 15.2 so i'll wait for next beta - you have to kind of agree to live on the wild side when installing betas, accepting more bugs/vulnerabilities

The install on my m1 mbp Looked suspicious with several Stuck Progress Bars and black screens for minutes. Cant they make that less creepy?
That's really annoying with those many progress bars that doesn't say anything and you don't know what's happening. They mostly don't even show any percentage or time remaining and move very strange. I have this with every beta update.
