I just REALLY hate hyperbole. Just state the facts and we should be good. He could have said "The phone gets way too hot under normal use." and that would have been acceptable.

My mom has been complaining about bad battery life on her 6s on 11.4.1. Is this beta stable enough on older devices? She doesn’t know anything technical about phones.

it won't improve with the latest beta either. this release likes battery like kids candy.

This ios12 battery tracking is bad, ios11 was much better, because there I can see directry how long was last full charge. This option is no longer there. That was very usefull. I only hope they put it back.

I am starting to see what I would term "more aggressive" Siri suggestions on the lockscreen. I am travelling today and I got a "suggestion" to call my hotel and check out. Have never had that before.

Yep, I cannot figure out how much usage I got on one charge. I think that is what AAPLE wants, people forgetting the battery life and just keep charging as needed.

Home button bar still doesn’t go away on the YouTube app when watching videos , has to be a app bug right

Yes it’s annoying. My workaround is to tap the ‘crosshair’ to minimise while in landscape orientation. Maintain the phone in landscape and hit the maximise button again. Seems to do the trick
 
Anybody else getting “Unable to check for update” when trying to go from PB4 to PB5?

speaking of T-Mo, any issues with your GPS on PB4?
 
Battery life is so bad my iPhone X. Ios11 was at least 2 days, now same usage max 1 day. Not good at all.
 
Hi. I installed this last night, and now my BlueTooth connections do not work. Any idea how to resolve this??? I thought I had a good ios11 backup, but I do not. I need my bluetooth to work with my tablet. Thanks.

Just installed 12pb on my 8plus. Phone runs faster for sure, but really underwhelmed with new features. Tape measure is cool but that’s it. I know it’s a performance fix but still underwhelming
