Wow good post , the apps that you can close have already saved their data are are not currently running but in a saved state. The idea is you can quickly jump back into an app you have used recently so there’s no risk of loosing data in these cases.
I have been guilty of quitting all apps for years and have never had a problem from doing so and all my kids do it too even though I have explained there is no point doing so OCD I guess.
The only time you really need to force close an app is when it’s misbehaving and then you wouldn’t care if it looses data you just want that app closed again I’ve never lost data ever and have had the odd app freeze etc especially on beta software where an app hasn’t been updated yet to run on the new version of iOS.
There’s more graphs and more info yet I don’t know if it’s very helpful at all I’m lost in this new battery info and I keep having to use low power mode so I can’t say but it seems to be around 1.5 hrs
I got 4 hours from 100% to 50% (light use only) with many features turned OFF (background refresh, push, LTE, etc.) on my X, so I'd say it's feasibly to squeeze out about 7 hours before it hits 20%.
How about memory management? The more and more apps you open and leave them in the background, older apps tend to reload frequently. This is particularly noticeable if you use graphics-heavy apps.
Because of this, I usually force close apps which are used only once or twice in a day and only keep the ones frequently used apps in the background.

This is false. Older apps in the app switcher do not reload unless you bring them back up by switching to them. They maintain the state they're in so the whole thing doesn't have to reload when you switch back to it. There are exceptions with certain apps when background refresh is enabled (and they continue to refresh whether or not they're in your app switcher) but the majority of apps are not using processor resources while in the background; rather, they are using a small amount of system RAM to maintain that placeholder and will be dropped if a more recently opened app requires the RAM it's using.
I always tell myself that I'm going to stay out of these discussions because people that habitually swipe away every app on their phone after using it are only doing it because they've always done it. The behavior is likely learned from one of a certain number of scenarios: someone that showed them or was observed, reading or being told false information regarding iOS RAM management or coming from an earlier Android ecosystem that required RAM micromanagement.
Ever since the inclusion of iOS "multitasking", the operating system has been smart and/or efficient enough to manage it for the user with the exception of frozen or runaway apps/processes.

Beta has been pretty stable for me so far, but has anybody had an issue with the stock Apple Maps app failing to correctly locate your device, resulting in the blue dot having a massive circle of where it thinks you are? Haven’t tried any third party maps (Google Maps etc) but will be interesting to hear if anyone has had a similar issue.
EDIT: Just noticed the previous posts advising to either try Google Maps or DFU from the IPSW and restore, apologies for the double post, I had checked a few pages but missed these.

That's what I mean - when you switch to older apps, after leaving them in the background for a few hours they tend to reload - even Apple's own apps.
Ah. Now that I reread your post I can see that's what you meant. This has been addressed in iOS 12, though.
Since iOS 10 Apple removed big artist pictures from local library Artist views.
I came across a picture that makes me think that Apple might be bringing back huge artist pictures for local library as well as for Apple Music service.
Could anybody post a few screens from Library->Artist-> 'whatever artist'
If it looks like this it would be confirmed that Apple has given Library music the same UI that for Apple streaming service. Which is great news in my book.

I just looked on the wiki and it didn’t make any mention of beta 1 having random lock-ups. I’ve got an 8+ and I end up having to do a hard reboot on my phone a half dozen times a day because it just locks up out of nowhere.
Also, I can’t figure out what causes it but at least once a day my phone will stop being able to make or accept phone calls. It will still use cellular data but the phone won’t work. The only fix for this is a hard reboot.
Anyone experiencing either of these issues?

Yes same here...the 'sign-in' page comes up blank......annoying!!!
All artists page are not like that (photo on top). It’s a hit and miss thing. Looks great with the photo.
