I have been stuck in preparing update for 2 hours. I have restarted many times and reinstalled the beta profile, but still stuck at preparing update. Any ideas?

Is scrolling through the multitasking app switcher smoother on the iPad pro 10.5? On the last few public betas its been a bit laggy for me.

Might go to Settings > General > iPhone Storage .... and see if you can deleting the update file and redownload it. Other than that, no idea.

Mine was stuck for quite some time, like 15-20 mins, which is way longer than usual (1-2 mins). Idk why yours was stuck for 2 hours. Try installing via IPSW?

Seems Auto-Brightness is in two locations in accessibility.

Magnifier and Display Accommodations.

The text under each instance of Auto-Brightness is distinctively different. Magnifier mentions Contrast and Brightness, while Display Accommodations only mentions Brightness.

Tried that and it totally worked! Thanks for the help!

I’m going back to 10.3.3. Home button lag is annoying.

Maybe it's your phone, no lag here

Which phone do you have?

What iPhone do you have? I have iPhone 7 Plus and thinking of installing iOS 11.

Still a slight delay when minimizing an app using the home button, wish they'd get that ironed out already.

Is that delay not there to give you a chance to double tap into multitasking?

The home button lag is a thing on the 7/7+, it’s been a thing since B1.

 

[chillip]

The lag is only present on iPhone 7s

Highly doubt it. 10.3.3 doesn’t do this and I can double tap just fine to get into multitasking.

SOLVED: 3D Touching Control Center crashes Springboard. To fix, turn off "Speak Screen" under Accessibility>Speech. Restart phone for the setting to go into effect.

It's unbelievable, but this one option has caused various problems going back to iOS10. In iOS10, if Speak Screen was ON, it would cause only the most recent 20 or so notifications to show up in the Notification Center; then the NC would scroll endlessly but all you'd see would be a blank screen. Try it, just don't forget to restart before the thing goes into effect.

In iOS 11 beta4 it would cause the AppSwitcher to jump to the left on opening. In iOS 11 beta 5 it was finally fixed--I reported it numerous times before. In beta 6 it causes the crash of springboard on 3D touch of CC buttons.

Thanx a bunch, you save my day

If you long press the files app in the dock on iPad you now get a pop up like you do with 3D Touch. Is this new? 10.5.

Anyone?

Geekbench improvement!

I’ll have to try it on my iPad Pro, I got 9450 on beta 5

I have had no lag on my 7+ when closing apps.

Anyone has an Apple Watch ? How’s the new beta ? I hesitate to update because we can’t revert to the actual firmware

Present in Beta 5, so not new.

It’s good, fast and high frame rates.

Ok thank you !

If you lock the phone in landscape, the lock screen is landscape. But you can’t rotate it back to portrait. Kinda annoying.

Public beta 5 just released....

I hate the fact that iOS 11 changed the behavior on how to see notifications on lock screen. On iOS 10, you swipe from top edge down (consistent with home screen behavior). But on iOS 11, you have to swipe up (inconsistent with home screen behavior).

STUPID

You only have to swipe up to see old notifications, which were previously inaccessible from the lock screen. So what you call “STUPID” is actually an improvement.
[doublepost=1502741207][/doublepost]What exactly is different about the unlock animation? I didn’t notice any change
