I have no fact to support my opinion but it doesn’t sound logical that the GM is already complete.
They gotta get that GM flashed onto the new iPhone by at least the first week of September and shipped from China to the rest of the world. I would say that they have another week tops before it’s gotta be done internally
I had this a couple of days ago (I’m on T-Mobile). It went to “searching” when I came home from a walk while talking on the phone; almost seemed to me like it was confused about getting back on WiFi. Turning airplane mode on and off didn’t work. Rebooted phone and it searched and then went to “no signal”, and again no luck with toggling airplane mode. Finally came back on second reboot.
Apple seems to have been doing a lot of tweaking with the radios for iOS 12. Phone calls have been an issue, as has the GPS at times.
Most of the release day phones ship direct from China the week prior to delivery - which is typically the week following the "available for pre-order" date (Thursday night/Friday morning at midnight, PDT)... so there's very little stock around the world in advance of the delivery date... there's no way GM is done yet... will be at least another week.
Agree with this. I've found I will drop calls if I don't reboot once in a while. Never did this before. So now a daily reboot which is not a bad idea anyway seems to have solved my drop issue for now anyway. Verizon network.
Edit, and so far this has only happened at home where I have wifi. So maybe there's a connection there or rather lack of LOL
They moved it unfortunately. Tap the three dots ... and it is an option in there.
Thank you for answering this so quickly! Now I can stop obsessing about this LOL.
I do this all the time when I see an issue. But I am posting here also, to see if somebody else has this behavior too
For the first time since my 3GS Jailbreaking days, I decided to mess with the purity of my daily driver and went for the PB6 this weekend. After an excruciatingly long encrypted backup to my Mac, all went smoothly. So far so good. It really does not feel like pre-production software.
The only thing I'm a little worried about is whether my Exchange notifications are reliably coming through-- which is important given it's my work. Trying to monitor whether that's a real or perceived issue.
Otherwise, my key apps including the stock apps, WSJ, NYTimes, Overcast, August, Ring, Netflix (including downloads), Tivo, Notability, etc. all work fine.
Of course, literally as I write this, I did get a springboard crash -- my first. But I was still getting those in 11.4.1.
Also, I do appreciate the second FaceID view. I have done a second scan from a bit of a different angle and it seems to have helped improve the hit rate.

What were you doing when your phone crashed? I haven't had a respring since beta 2.

I haven't had any show-stopping App Store issues. In the beginning of the beta cycle I remember my purchase history was missing so apps I had purchased in the past were showing prices again. When I went to install them and hit that price button, it told me it was free because I had purchased a previous version. That was resolved by the second or third beta though.
I also have not read about this before today. I would suggest signing out of your account in all locations (phone, iPad, Mac, etc.) and then signing back in. If you've done that then I don't know what else to tell ya.
To answer about the springboard crash, my banking app made me reauthorize the FaceID authentication. Upon toggling FaceID back on and closing out of the dialogue, the springboard crashed. That app is functioning normally after the respring, by the way.
Strange. Banking apps have been a major issue throughout this cycle. Mine wouldn't even open for the first two betas, if I'm remembering correctly.
I think manually overriding has an immediate effect but doesn’t produce long term drastic effects - only small ones as the auto brightness algorithm takes on board your preferences. OP referred to quite erratic bahaviour.
The fact that Apple is always "working ahead" doesn't necessarily mean that GM is done and in the can... there is still time to fix any major issues that might arise.
