Apple seeds iPhone X-specific version of iOS 11.2 beta 2 to developers
Roger Fingas
Hot on the heels of the phone's global launch, Apple has released an iPhone X version of iOS 11.2 beta 2 for developers.
The code is available through Apple's developer portal, or else as an over-the-air update for iPhones with the correct profile installed. The release also means than an iOS 11.2 backup created with another iPhone can be installed on an X.
Beta 2 was originally seeded on Monday, but Apple specifically omitted the iPhone X, presumably because most developers wouldn't have access to one until now. A public beta emerged on Wednesday.
iOS 11.2 is largely a minor release dealing with issues such as a Calculator bug, but does incorporate a Now Playing widget for Apple TV media in Control Center. For developers it introduces SiriKit commands for the HomePod, which should ship next month.

Why don't they get rid of the Data in the right and left "Ears", create a semi-permanent Notification that has all the information we are use to seeing at the top of the iPhone. Just pull down on either "Ear" and there is the info.
