Getting VM delayed by about 15 minutes on this beta. Not just a delayed notification, but the VM doesn’t show up in Visual Voicemail either. Anyone else? T-mobile here.
 
How is that not as smart? Sounds like your phone is being throttled when it’s very low on battery, which is what you want. What am I missing?
It was often down to 600 MHz before when battery was at about 50% or less. As I said, its less aggressive than it was before- which is better when the battery has more left in it. I think they need to strike a better balance without having to turn off throttling entirely.

I see, wasn’t sure your reference point. I’m sure they will sort it out in the coming betas.
 
Using on iPhone X and iPad Air 2, so far so good. Had to hard reboot to get EE WiFi calling sorted. iMessage in cloud seems to be OK across devices also :)

This is what’s on 11.2.5. 11.3 added stuff to it.

Untrue. This is the screenshot from my iPhone 7Plus running iOS 11.2.5. No change in 11.3 beta. It's triggered via the Force Touch press on the Record icon in Control Center.

Just tested (Verizon) and got the voicemail and notification within a min but "unable to transcribe" message in VVM.

Hmmm, I put in a feedback report awhile back that I thought it may have to do with transcription, but this time, my VM hadn’t transcribed even after the delay. I just hope my VVM doesn’t disappear and cause the phone app to become unusable like has happened.

is this new in the VVM screen that shows progress of transcription?

also, on the now playing screen, it doesn’t let you know when you’re listening to a radio anywhere. I wanted to know what artist radio I was playing and it says it nowhere. Am I missing something? For example this is what it looks like on Spotify (top)

I would vote for this is better. Leave it running full on and at 20% when the message pops up for power save mode THEN throttle it if its accepted to allow. Otherwise leave it chugging along. Anyone in the scenario you mentioned should use the low power mode anyway or find an outlet for a quick boost. :)
 
For all we know, half of the people may not be using backups/not understand what a beta is (which I know both of). Also, people could be doing a FULL restore and set up as new to move stuff over, not restoring from backup.

I don't get why such people would be on a beta. You don't just automatically get the beta profile And yes, a full restore as new is possible, but more hassle.

AirPlay 2 is amazing, its exactly what AirPlay should have been all along. This is exactly what I have always wanted. I can't wait for Sonos to update my speakers to include AirPlay 2 so I can directly control everything within iOS instead of having to go into the Sonos-app all the time. Don't get me wrong, I love Sonos and what if offers. I replaced all my AirPlay (v1) speakers with Sonos and it gives me much better flexibility and much better speaker managements, grouping and multi-room.

It's not necessarily certain your Sonos speakers can just get updated to AirPlay 2 though. It requires the hardware is good enough. Biggest hardware requirement for AirPlay 2 compared to the original AirPlay, is substantially more RAM. AirPlay (original) only buffers a few seconds ahead, whilst AirPlay 2 needs to be able to set a buffer range of several minutes.

It never shows because it treats it like playing music already in your library. Go to the Radio tab and it’ll show (*should* show) the previous Artist Radios you played (Beats One, Ty Segall Radio, Alternative Radio, etc.)
 
Still not as smooth as ios 10 when scrolling through the app switcher on my ipad pro 10.5 which is disappointing. So much for the 120Hz display.
It's not a 120Hz display. It samples touch inputs at 120Hz. Two completely different things.
 
With Advanced Mobile Location support, WiFi Calling is now added to System Services under Location Services
WiFi calling has been in location services for me since at least iOS 10 if not earlier.
 
Hi all.
Follow-up monitoring my IPhone 6 Plus cpu speed(using CPU DasherX).
At 35% battery level, cpu frequency drops to 1127MHz.
Yes, throttling still alive in this beta.
Yes it is. On my IP7 with 70% baterry, current frequency is 1644 MHz of a max of 2347 MHz (CPU DasherX).
This is way to much throttling. What the hell?!!!!!!!!

The iPad Pro 10.5 in the post that you're replying to does have a 120Hz display.

You might be thinking of the iPhone X which does not have a 120Hz display but samples touch at 120Hz.

Is the throttling based on the momentary charge left in the battery, or on the maximum capacity of the battery at that moment to hold charge.
 
Is it a coincidence that Find my friends does not work after update to public beta?

Says "Cannot connect - please check your network connection" or some such.
