Yeah I noticed this immediately. Thank god! The icons are so much clearer now, they were so “murky” and hard to see before because of the background.
Got a tip for us?

Also my wallpaper and screen in general does not seem washed out like it did in Beta 3 & 4. iPhone X
Nobody can tell from several minutes of usage.
Scrolling between your open apps in the app switcher is more “stiff”, now feels more slower.

It’s been less than an hour since it came out .. gotta give a few hours at least for a preliminary report
The haptic feedback is definitely different. I used to get a few sharp bursts when i'd try to open it with no recent apps, now the haptic feedback and the animation is slower.
I just noticed this as well. Haptics seem the same everywhere else though so I’m guessing it’s intended. We’ll see come final release!
This is also a neat trick to download apps over 150mb too from App Store even if you have didn't toggle on use cellular data
I hope this beta solves the battery drain I had on B4.
So far the phone seems a lot snappier, certainly in the settings app.

I believe its because you started it while on wifi. If you try to start on cellular, most likely it will complain. (seems its been that way for a while now)

I dont think this has been this way earlier.
Earlier you couldnt continue on cellular after wifi.
It’s been good, but for gosh sakes the update came out like an hour ago, so there’s no way to tell what the current version does.
Mine went down 2% to 90%.. Seems like steep degradation for having bought the phone less than a year ago (X on launch).
Could it be a battery issue? I've always used coconut battery prior to Apple battery health and I've never seen my iphones fall below 98% after having them for a year. I wonder if I could get it replaced under warranty.You aren’t using your phone right.My year old X is at 100%.
Slight change to release date info on pre-order albums in Music:
Now says “Upcoming Album” rather than “Pre-Release”.

Same, my X, got on launch day, is still at 100% battery health on this beta
