iOS 11 Developer beta 8 — Changes, Issues, and so on

I still can't use the Feedback app. Every time I log in, it tells me I need a developer account (despite me already having one, linked to the email that I'm using), then leads me right back to the login screen.

Is the app only for Public Beta, and not Developer Beta?
 
How odd. When I get a notification from iMessage, it shows the contact. When I open iMessage to look at it, it’s just the phone number. Gives me an option to report it as junk.

Anyone having this issue with music app after using navigation? Look at the status bar and back button on library, the screen scrolls under it. The only way to fix it is to force close app and open it again. I already submitted report to Apple. If I, while using navigation, open the music app, that happens after I close the navigation app.

Similar sort of issue with the status bar/navigation acting a bit funny. When I open up Now Playing, the card behind displays weirdly. I've got the Now Playing screen in the first picture, and dragged that down a tiny bit to show more in the second. Difference is when I drag it down entirely, I get it displayed properly (album art hidden behind the navigation), instead of it remaining like yours.

Why is there still a delay when closing apps on iPhone 7? Been there since early betas. Doesn’t happen on 10.3.3.

Don't believe you. No way a software issue is affecting some devices and not others, even though they're the same device. Again, I'm going to choose to believe you don't know what you're looking for. Either that or record your screen and share with us!

There IS a high chance a software issue could affect someone but not everyone. Mind to know where those software runs? Hardware, such as chips, disks, CPU. Each of them is not exactly the same. And even if all hardware are the same, that software issue may only be triggered in certain configurations, with certain software installed, or even when doing a series of actions at a specific order, or everything combined. There are so many variables.

On my 12.9 gen 2, its felt GM for at least the past few betas,

Still an occasional nasty apple Smart Keyboard/safari bug requiring a reboot after long uptime, that cant be resolved with re-docking the ipad or re-launching safari

And some chop with animation,but mostly smooth

Thats about all I’ve noticed, no resprings or anything deal breaking imo

Wow, Just wow. Have you zoomed very iOS app icon up giant size to examine each pixel? Or just the stock ones? Are you serious? And how do you know the graphic designer didn't do that on purpose anyway. :rolleyes:

Because I'm a designer, and other icon sizes don't have the bulge.

Also, I didn't zoom. I just noticed it whilst using my iPhone. Maybe it's because I have a keen eye for detail and better than 20/20 vision. Or maybe it's because I care about details.
 
Found another bug or at least something that worked before.

In beta 1-7 i could control Sonos Volume in locked mode if the Sonos app was open just before I locked the device. Doesn‘t work anymore. That was quite handy and useful. Checked App settings and they are as they should be.

Ok then I'll give you that. But still not sure that would be considered a "bug" in iOS just the same. I suspect 99.9999% of folks will never even see that in its native small size or care if they do. But good catch on your part. I guess :)

I bet it will still be that way for final on the 7 but will work with no delay on the 7S. This is why I'm keeping my 7 on 10.3.3.

Every year things slow down a bit. Been using an iPhone since the 4 with iOS 4. They dull down the performance just a little bit on the previous version. It's not super bad but it's there. I've learned my lesson over the years. Things have gotten a little better since chipspeed is so fast now but still how can you make something that is already super fast faster? Well you slow down the old one a little so you want the new one.

I still remember when I first got my iPhone 5 on iOS 6. I remember thinking, "this is perfect, I don't need it to be faster!". Same on my iPhone 6 with iOS 8 and now with my iPhone 7 on 10. All the iPhones run the most flawlessly and smoothest on their original shipping software since that version is most optimized for it only. Check out iapplebytes videos on YouTube. He does a good comparison of iPhones on their old versions vs new. The difference is there. Sure sometimes it's a matter of seconds or quarter seconds but it all adds up in daily usage and I notice things like this right away.

With all that said I might make a backup and take the plunge to try out 11 on my 7 once it's released but I have a feeling based on all the evidence I've gathered over the years I'll be downgrading right back to 10.3.3 because of the performance drop and slight delays they put in.

Had similar stuff happen to me earlier in the betas and I was usually able to fix it by navigating to that contact within the Contacts app. Just that would typically fix it, at least until a restart. Has something to do with iCloud I think.

Anyone seeing the overlap at the top bar? I’m wondering if it’s a bug or something to do with the new screen coming.

Seeing this every once in awhile. Seems random. And yes, very well could be due to the 8.

I hope, I'm sure there won't be one, there is 1 more beta before GM. Even though the OS feels fluid and ok for the most part, there are some issues that I was hoping for them to fix before the GM. For example, if I have many emails on Apple's mail app, the badge of remaining emails doesn't update while going thru each email until I go back to the inbox.

Seeing more and more weird little text issues. Here’s another more obvious one, in case you needed to throw more vitriol at 3D Touch.

Seems they have already started their planned obsolescence strategy on the iPhone 7
