Google seems to be pushing hard against apple lately these days. Unsure why they are so unresponsive. Could also be why Android updates are far and few between.

Curious. Why wouldn't you simply disable the Airplane Mode? I am not complaining about giving users more controls, but I don't get why you only want cellular enabled.

If I was landing or landed and would turn off airplane mode and cellular connected even for a second and I didn’t want it to it risks incurring charges.

I often play casino games in safari and they always stuttered. I tested that with beta 2, this is also smooth now. Took them over half a year to fix

anyone else having connection issues with AirPods (1st gen). Twice since updating it shows as being connected and the video or song i'm listening to keeps playing but no audio comes in through the headphones. A phone restart or toggling bluetooth on/off solves it.

The haptic feedback when going into multitasking on iPhone XSM seems much softer and smoother. Maybe I just haven’t been paying attention to it.

FaceID seems slightly quicker on beta 2.

Not seeing as many dropped frames as beta 1.

You’re right, haptic feedback is way smoother . My Xs max is still dropping frames but more rarely.. apart from that I can say that animations are quite slower .. or maybe it’s just me

In the TV app, Epix is now available. Sports contents will only show in the Sports tab at the top and do not show in the Watch Now. The categories tab at the top seems to be a bit larger. It takes awhile to load the 3D Touch option when you force touch on any of the content.

Reporting in about cellular and WiFi performance.

*Its stable so far. No random drops from full signal to No Service. Too early to tell. Will report back.

*one change: Signal is now regaining quickly during every train stop. Where before it took more than 2 mins after loosing signal. (Traveling NYC subway, signal only between subway stations).

*wifi is much better overall since 12.1. It feels more stable in this beta on the XS Max. It’s still not exactly where I want it to be vs my 7 Plus. But. It’s about 90% there. I believe this is the best it will get. Speeds are close now as well when I’m about the same distance apart from the router.
