Wow, I was about to ask how the betas have been doing, but it doesn't sound like they've gotten any better. Sad :/
I wonder when would apple will fix this bug? First noticed this on ios 11.3 beta 3, till now beta 6 still not fixed. downgraded to ios 11.2.6 via itunes check for update button and the bug still exist....Yes, I can confirm this bug.
Reported camera launch delay both from notifications and home screen. Lot more persistent and opaque blur than on previous versions too.
Man I must be the minority. I updated from the stable release to this latest beta and my phone has been fanatastic! It feels like everything is just a bit smoother. The most noticeable has been faceid. I think they changed the timing and I’ve been getting a lot more first try successes.
I’m on an iPhone X if that matters.

Soooo... I did it, then came back. LSS: going back did cause all my mail & account passwords to disappear, along with my messages. It also caused my phone to not recognize my Apple watch. So, like a moron I did the first thing I thought of: unpaired the watch. This is a mistake because if the watch doesn't recognize the phone, unpairing only does the phone side of things. But the watch doesn't know its phone went away so it won't go into pairing mode... Sooo I did an erase content & settings on the phone, reinstalled the beta (issues went away BTW) and did an iCloud restore from the day before. It worked. Phone functioned and watch functioned again... BUT... During the restore, I got asked for the passwords for 2 different accounts alongside my own. Then I got an annoying password prompt alternating between the 2 extraneous accounts for like 5 mins. Then they stopped. I called Apple. Senior support and iTunes Senior support say there's no apps associated with those IDs on my phone... Waiting on engineering. Thanks for reading!
There is now parallax effect on Reminders, on the stacked “cards” below. I am quite observant and I think it was not there before. Am I wrong?
I've already noticed this bug on my old iPhone 7 Plus and it stays on my current iPhone X. In the area of wallpapers selection, when choosing one, I have the option to choose between still / perspective / live photo. If I select "live photo", the wallpaper continues in perpective. I notice this by moving the device lightly. Sometimes I can even notice this even when I select "still"! It seems to me that this gets worse when the battery is at a lower level (I do not know what the relation is). Did anyone else notice that? It is an old bug that has not yet been resolved. And I think it drains the battery.
This may not be a beta 6 issue per se, but I just noticed that my notification sounds are noticeably lower volume than my ring tone. Both are MP3s that I processed and both are within a couple dB of max. Ringer slider is at about 90% and I don't think there is a way to adjust notification sound level separate from the ringer?
Per some old threads, I tried rebooting and that did not change anything. Did I miss something? My notification sounds are now low enough that I tend to miss them with the phone in my pocket in anything other than a quiet room. Ringer is fine....

Just encountered another bug. I update an app and although the app updated and shows the blue dot next to its name on my home screen, the App Store shows that the update is stuck and is hanging. Had to clear the App Store from my app switcher to fix it.
You have to remember that there are many, many people who have no issues at all. Of that long list on the first page the only bugs I've encountered on my 7+ are the missing lock screen music controls sometimes. I've been using the betas since the start and havent' had any severe issues.
I'm sure some people are having some legit problems but seriously some of the listed issues seem silly to me. A 2 second delay after unlocking the phone? It takes me 2 seconds to remember why I unlocked my phone.
Sounds like the biggest issue is messages in iCloud.. I wonder if Apple will hold it off til iOS 12... or maybe delay it and come out with iOS 11.4...
I’ve also noticed FaceID is working better for me. Fewer fails. I’m pretty happy about that.
And like you, this beta is running well for me. Battery life in the 3 days since installing it is much improved over betas 4 & 5.
This is something people mention from time to time in many iOS 11 threads but, believe it or not, the same thing can been found on iOS 10.3.3, especially if you don't use phone for a few minutes.
No beta 7 or gm today
Why do you find reasons to be sad? We just got a beta 4 days after a previous beta.
I know but a few annoying bugs i reported to apple arnt getting fixed so just cant wait to see what final build is like
