This beta STOPS throttling on older devices like iPhone 6.....
What a surprise Apple! Now my iPhone goes faster without a new battery....and I bet I won’t experience any unexpected shutdowns with my now-unthrottled iPhone 6....
Processor is back to 1400mhz instead of 1127mhz
You got caught Apple !
Another great change is that Apps downloaded from different App Stores (different countries) update without needed to manually change the store.

hi how did you know the cpu throttling is already turned off in 11.3 beta 1 ?? or you're just assuming ?!

post the proof please for the iphone 6 cpu throttling
Are you running iOS 11.3 b1 also? I updated both my ATV gen 4 and iPhoneX with these betas and now I can't get the Apple remote app or the control center built in one to find my ATV.
Rebooted both, unpaired and repaired again and it still doesn't connect. Strange thing is I can pair my phone with the ATV and use the keyboard on the phone when the ATV requires it, that's it. No remote control though.
Well, other than it not running like s*** anymore here’s a screenshot of CPU DasherX showing full CPU operation on a 6 Plus with 82% battery design capacity that was previously getting throttled to 1147MHz at the best on 11.2.5. The 6 Plus is frustratingly slow at that speed to the point that apps (especially CarPlay) would have issues or crash because of the delay. Now that I’ve updated that’s all gone. The keyboard doesn’t even lag anymore. And battery life doesn’t seem to have taken the hit I thought it would’ve. Tomorrow will tell as I’ll be at work and see the true usage.

So in order to get my wifi calling feature back, turn on airplane mode then turn WiFi back on, wait for WiFi call feature to enable it self and turn off airplane mode and BAM!
Yep, only thing that will be different is you will not get the update as soon. Typically the next day. The later betas toward the end of the cycle they start releasing together or close to same time. But the builds are exact same.
Read through this thread and you will find your answer. Several have posted about this and provided results and how they know.

Technically you would want to leave airplane mode on afterwards. You wont need it if wifi is on. Otherwise it most likely will switch back to cellular and defeat what you just did.
There is all the proof you need on this forum and all over the internet.

NAH 2 hours later still on WIFI and LTE and WIFI Calling LOGO is there, just a way to force it to show like it always have, what a stupid feature with WIFI calling in this beta if u ask me.... they should just have a wifi calling on or off switch and be done, non of this auto BS or what ever they trying to implement.
Sounds like this might be something new for some carriers or perhaps a bug of some sort, but realistically that's how it has always worked for some carriers, like Verizon or AT&T, for example.
I tried it but WiFi Calling only stay on for a few seconds after I toggle off airplane mode
with T-Mobile when i enable WIFI before, WIFI calling would always turn on and u would see the ICON, as of this beta one, you need to have VERY poor cell quality before WIFI calling kicks in. I just found a little BS work around to make it work like it used, until they fix this POS feature.
not here, 2+ hours WIFI and all that still on after I enable airplane mode and then turned wifi on, i waited 1 min and then turned airplane mode off and WIFI calling was still on and I have Tmobile, not sure if that matters.... try again and wait 1 min before turing airolane mode off
the bars can show 3-4 bars, but the way my apartment is, i get dead spots. So even though it shows stupid 4 bars, i get choppy calls or my calls go into voice mail
so by having it show 4 bars on my iphone 7 plus does not mean my signal is 100 percent clear or steady! this new WIFI calling feature sucks if they are depending on bars being 2 or lower for that fuction to activate, dummest thing i ever seen... So this would suck for me and million other people, sure u can have 4 bars and i can call my cell and it will go into voice mail every second call or so, so thats why i like my wifi
Yes, I’ve got iOS 11.3 beta 1 installed on my Apple TV 4K and I just tested the Apple TV Remote app and was able to fully control my ATV without issue.
When you say find your ATV, you mean control it, right? Not sure what to suggest - seems like you did everything right. Hmm...

Thanks for checking. Yes, when I open the AppleTV remote app or open the one in control center on the iPhone, it just shows searching and never sees the AppleTV. Crazy thing is when I use the regular remote for entering search, I still get the notification on my iPhone for the keyboard and that works without any issues, LOL.
Are you not on T-Mobile? That is apparently who has changed to this and is what most here have been discussing. If signal goes to 3 bars it drops wifi calling and refers cellular, so its being said by others in this thread and apparently a change from how TM was working. But other carriers (Verizon ad ATT) have always worked that way. So to force it AND to make it stick you flip on AP mode then enable wifi again and leave it.
[Edit] I see the other posts now and you are on TM. So thats why you are seeing the change. TM has changed it to work like everyone else I guess. But I am surprised that you get 4 bars and it doesn't switch back to cellular. Or that it drops from 4 to bad enough to need wifi calling in certain areas in the same apartment. Anyway leaving airplane on will stop that if you start seeing that happen.

Just a quick question for everyone, when I go into my iCloud ‘Manage Storage’ section, although I’m on the free 5GB storage tier, for some reason my Messages On iCloud shows as 10.9GB? 
Then when I press on the Messages option it lists the conversations as taking up 786.5MB and when trying to Disable and Delete I get the error message below. Anyone else having the same issues?

Can anyone confirm their phones seem unthrottled or back to 10.3.3 levels of smoothness? Lol. I have three SE’s 2 run 10.3.3 the other one runs 11. whatever we’re on and the difference is insane..
