Release notes

What changed

Original editorial synthesis. Linked references appear with the claims they support and in the source ledger.

A deliberately narrow Beta 2 record

The surviving developer transcript is cumulative and cannot safely turn every listed item into a Beta 2 addition. This page instead keeps three later-retained statements that explicitly identify Seed 2 and three user-visible changes reported independently on release day.[1][2][3][4]

Selected coverage

The 6 structured records cover iPad availability, Voice Memos, Siri voices, AirDrop seed compatibility, Passbook validation, and the UIKit status-bar default. Community-observed features are labeled partially documented and are not represented as Apple release-note quotations.[5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16]

Evidence gap

No byte-verifiable first-party Beta 2 body was recovered. The page does not claim a complete Beta 1-to-Beta 2 diff, and stale known-issue text in the cumulative transcript is excluded when contemporaneous observation shows the state had changed.[17][18][19]
