If beta 1 and 2 didn't bother you this is just more of the same. RC likely next week

While Apple releases unstable Beta version of its software, Google innovates and releases their Pixel Fold.

Oh look another google phone model, should we fold and cash in all our chips?

Never seen this before in the App Store. Is this new?

I also saw it today for the first time while manually updating the apps. However, I am not running a beta, but a public 16.4.1 release.

FWIW, I have turned it off in Settings > App Store, as I did not want anything to run in the background (RAM, battery, etc.)

Long time ago we heard that kind of rumor from Apple.

Folding phones are unstable Beta hardware.

Beta is unstable by definition. As for that Pixel Fold, let’s see some reviews, tests, etc. before getting all excited.

I bet Apple are watching the foldables’ space quite closely, most likely learning from their competitors early mistakes, so they do not repeat them if/when they decide to enter into that category themselves.

Development on iOS 16 is slowing down as Apple prepares for the upcoming June debut of iOS 17, the next-generation version of iOS.

Thank you. That's significantly more honest than the text used with previous stories.
