Can’t make phone calls it just hangs frozen on the calling screen... when tapping on things in settings screen goes black I have to lock unlock the phone to get it working... and a few resprings and freezing on the home screen

Had absolutely 0 issues on beta 7
Sad to hear, but your problems can most likely be solved without waiting for a new release (reinstall iOS). What you describe is not the majority opinion of beta 8—on the contrary! Or maybe you just have some app(s) making problems in the backround.

I will always be curious about the issue that caused an early 8. And wonder if 7 was fixed and reissued as 8 or if they released 8 early. I guess if they release 9 on Monday we’ll know and if they delay next beta then we’ll know it was an early release of 8

The release notes for both were the same, so probably just a fix of the issue.

Probably Monday for beta 9 or Tuesday since there are still more issues that need to be addressed before the public release.
Be aware there’s still going to be bugs after release in September, likely even some that “need to be addressed before public release”. That’s what x.x.x releases are for. Same thing happens every year.

They could label this beta 8 « public release » anyway.... absolutely no issue, I hope they won’t brake anything un the next betas...
Hopefully since we’re coming down the home stretch we will see nothing but improvements. But if that were always true there would be no reason for betas and we would be discussing the weather :)

Has anyone else had battery life issues using ios 12 beta ?

My iphone 6 on pb beta 6 seems to be using battery at a rapid pace, even while sleeping....

I'm calling beta 9 at lunchtime (Central US time). I honestly can't think of anything that could be better on my phone but I know a lot of people are still having issues. Here's to hoping everybody's experience is like mine after today!
