A short beta cycle for iOS 14

Following @Gruber hypothetical September schedule: Tuesday 15 September: Event. Friday 18 September: Preorders start. Monday-Tuesday 21-22. September: Reviews drop — Apple Watch on one day, iPad Air on the other. Thursday 24 September: New OSes released via Software Update. Friday 25 September: Products ship to customers and stores.

My guess is that we will get beta 8 this week followed by GM next week. Even if there is another beta after that (beta 9), this would be the shortest beta cycle for any major iOS release. daringfireball.net/2020/09/a…

How much more powerful an Apple Silicon ship will be in an iMac which is never running on batteries…? It will be interesting to compare the internals of these upcoming machines to their Intel counterparts.
