Agreed with others. This version is strictly beta then they’ll switch to 11.3. Surely no public release with 6 betas

Having seen Tim Cook be an unpredictable Apple CEO, I would love to unlearn whatever I knew from previous experience, analysis and anything similar.

Tim Cook mentioned that we should see the option to disable the CPU throttling due to battery in the next beta. Probably will see this in 11.3 Developer Beta.

Wonder if they would allow us to view the wear level as we used to see using coconut battery on the phone itself.

Looks to me like its TuneIn Radio draining your battery. I'd suggest NOT using that and move to Spotify/Apple Music (I refuse to speak about Google's service), which doesn't drain battery as much.

Seems like it was just an app that was used, hardly looks like it was a cause of drain really. Not sure any other streaming app would really use less. Hard to say without the time that the app was used though and the details behind it. That said, it seems more like the battery is likely having some sort of issues.

3rd party battery apps are not a good indicator of battery health. They haven‘t been since iOS10 afaik, when Apple severely limited the battery data apps can contain. You have to wait for Apple to push out 11.3 with the new battery health feature to reliably check your batteries health.

hows the performance? i reverted after beta 2 which had atrocious performance. Considering trying one of the newer betas because i haven’t been able to backup to iCloud since i reverted.

Side note, Apple really needs to allow backups and restores of profiles after a downgrade, provides the base OS number is the same. 11.2.5 downgraded to 11.2.2 really isn’t that different. But i can’t restore the profile anyway.

Performance seems to be solid and smooth even on my 5S with better RAM management too

FYI. He said next month. No 11.3 until February?

"We're also going to... first in a developer release that happens next month, we're going to give people the visibility of the health of their battery. So it's very, very transparent. This hasn't been done before, but we've thought through this whole thing and learned everything we can learn from it."

Has anybody else noticed the super annoying bug where the search bar overlaps the results in Safari? It’s driving me crazy and I haven’t seen any mention of it thus far.

Have you made any changes to your text settings?

I'm having no Safari issues on 8+ or iPP 9.7. Both are running 11.2.5 b6.
 
Anyone with Apple Watch, do you notice the significant delay of locations from weather compilation. I suspect it is a similar issue to widget not updating.
