You’d think but with this beta being so small and nothing else is noticed It’d be the one I’d think of...

It's probably for some security fix or perhaps some build/installer related change of some sort. That said, Apple came out a little while ago saying they already had the fix in a beta, which is why the thinking has been that it's already been made in a previous beta and not sort of a last moment urgent fix that yesterday's beta appeared to be.

Anyone else have sporadic Touch ID. Sometimes it will unlock and sometimes I have to press the button and sometimes I have to lift my finger again and put it on the sensor. 7+.

Yes. I’ve had that off and on throughout the betas but it’s back on beta 5 for me. iP7

I've not been one to complain of lag or frame drop, but iOS v11.0.x and 11.1.0(b1-3) were just horrid. I would press the home button on a 6S+ or iPad Pro and nothing would happen -- at all -- often. This wasn't lag, it was unresponsive and messed up to locked up. A few times it would take a hard reset.

I have tried to pin it to system processes sucking too much CPU, or spinning it horribly, as well as the App Store/Update App sucking the life out of the phone/iPad during downloads and app updates. It may be I've had iOS and Apple iCloud services going back a long ways, as well as a more complete ecosystem hitting them (phone, watch, iPad, MBP).

So ...

iOS 11.1 b4 helped a bit and 11.1 b5 helped a lot more. I expect the performance and battery issues are one and the same and the culprit, which doesn't show up on the battery usage, is system services. It looks like 11.1 is shaping up to greatly improve things. I'm not saying we'll get to where 10.3.x was, but iOS 11 is getting ready for prime time, IMHO.

Now I haven't had instant hotspot work on my iPad since upgrading to iOS 11 (works from MBP). I have many other bugs, but at least things are starting to calm down a bit.

If another beta could make as much improvement as b4 to b5, I'm for it. It's not the size of the update, if they fix some system service spin issues, or if it's a firmware patch, whatever it is, it's working.
 
Have nobody else realised that the "Screen Auto-Lock Timer" has a bug?

30 seconds do 30 seconds, but more than that it runs double speed:
1 minute option -> 30 seconds reality
2 minutes option -> 1 minute reality
...
haven't tested more than 2 minutes
[doublepost=1508880506][/doublepost]Also, I'm having worse mobile network reception since iOS 11. And it takes many seconds to connect to it. Before, with iOS 10, it needed no time to connect.

Are you comparing to how it's working when you are within an app or just on the home screen?

Actually, I only tested on the home screen... :(

I think back in iOS 10 (or possibly earlier) it was changed where on the home screen it's half the time that is set in the timer setting. Not quite sure why, and assuming it's not a glitch of some sort, potentially the thinking might have been that if you are on the home screen you are likely not really reading or watching anything so to conserve power a bit more power and to secure the phone faster the timer that is applied is shorter.

Sounds reasonable. I just tested while on Safari and it’s working fine ;)
 
Has the 3d touch for multitasking always had 2 different levels of pressure sensitivity? Pressing a little brings it up half way and pressing it hard brings up the whole thing
 
I would also say the battery lasts longer in beta 5

I also found this kinda new since beta 5. Like peek and pop.

Does anyone know if there’s an easy way to automatically download all files from iCloud Drive in the Files app yet like you can do with iCloud Drive on the Mac?
 
Anyone having Messages crashes? In beta 4, I enabled Digital Touch in the App Drawer (don’t ask) and it crashed. Now Messages won’t open (can’t get back to the App Drawer to disable Digital Touch). Same in beta 5. I can only reply to messages from notifications and send via Siri! Filed as #3798210 (on 6s). I wouldn’t suggest replicating with an important device...

If I recall correctly, lighter press with a faster swipe was to go directly to the previous app, while a harder press with a slower swipe was to go into app switcher.

Since its reintroduction in 11.1 betas, 3D Touch multitask brought this 2 level sensitivity.

In iOS 10, there was only 1 level of sensitivity. If you 3D Touched and quickly swiped right, it'd switch to the last app. If you 3D Touched and slowly swiped right, it'd show the multitask menu.

The latest iPhone update has created a lot of problems for my iPhone 7 Plus. The volume buttons don’t work, speaker phone doesn’t work, and half the time it freezes or the home button doesn’t work

Sorry for my ignorance, but should it? As in is this something that worked and has now stopped working, or is this a feature you want?

It does work in iOS 10 stopped in iOS 11

If they cant fix the home button delay, what makes you guys think they will fix the calculator delay? Both are input lag.

Think its not a matter if they can but if they will.

Is there any way to install the public beta via iTunes (ipsw), rather than OTA?

OTA takes forever for me and the phone gets raging hot. I'd fear for its life if I did it again that way.

Thanks!

Yeah download the ipsw file and install via iTunes. Its the dev file technically but they are the same.

I’m wondering if beta 5 only fixed the WPA2/WiFi vulnerability...

That was fixed in the initial 11.1 so it appears. There was news about it that same day KRACK was announced to the public if I recall.
