Yes, I already have Beta 4 of iOS 13.1 and iPad OS installed but I removed my beta profile on both devices as described here: How to uninstall iOS beta software - Apple Support
So in theory, I should receive notification of the public release of iOS and iPad OS 13.1 just in time to update to Watch OS 6.
Not quite ready for Catalina yet despite some of the tempting integrations with the iOS 13 native apps.
Still reading up on the implications of the loss of iTunes, not that I use it much but my wife does and I like to ahead of this stuff.

I need to hold off on Catalina until I can reconcile one 32 bit app that I really can not do without. An update is promised but who knows if the developer will be ready since we are expecting Catalina on Oct 14. The betas of Catalina have actually been without incident for me except for that one app. I'm not running the beta on my production machine so I can just continue with Mojave on that.

What is this app? I mentioned elsewhere that uTorrent which I had kinda given up on (don't use it much anyway) suddenly came up with a notification that it's 32bit app will auto update to a 64bit version in September, just in time for the release of Catalina so you never know. Maybe the same will happen for you?

Just so you know Rod, uTorrent went to a “web only” app for macOS.

Not really the SE and S series (6s onwards) have different processors.

I didn't know that was possible. Quite a feat. Well done.

Is there something you really need with ios 13 that you don't have currently on your iPhone 6 plus??

Or maybe you could actually install the beta ios13 as you did on your old iPhone 5s somehow, and use it. Maybe it might even update to the real non-beta iOS 13 version.

That would be interesting to know if it is even possible or if it would even work.

If you were you able to get your old iPhone 5S working with an unsupported new iOS version, you should be able to get your iPhone 6 Plus working the same way. I won't bother asking how you did it... but some other users might be interested. :Smirk:

Here's a link to the Public Beta enrollment page. Unless there's some trick involved I doubt it will work. I tried putting the iPad OS beta on an unsupported iPad and it did not install. The beta profile did but the full beta did not install.
