iOS 13 beta 1, stable enough to be used on your main phone?

[mattopotamus]

If you remember last year one of the biggest annoyances with iOS 12 beta came late in the cycle:

So keep in mind just because it may seem okay at first doesn't mean it is, or will be that way the whole beta cycle.

IIRC, they released an update the same day for that issue.

This issue started several days before then the pop ups became much more frequent after the build expired. Fixed it the next day or so after that.

I just restored my iPad Pro to iOS 12- Too many issues with my work email, which might be due to my employer requiring an MDM. Still some issues with my iPhone in this regard but I can live with them as long as I can reliably get email on the iPad.

iPadOS is awesome though and ill miss it in the time being.

Wow, I'm surprised that with MDM you were even able to install the beta. Are you on Exchange? If so, can you use the Outlook app rather than iOS email as a workaround?

I'll probably install the PB on my IPP once it's released. Since I use my Xs for work as well, I'll wait until Apple releases iOS 13 to the general public. Though I'm contemplating buying a SE on the cheap to test out iOS 13 for the time being.

After living successfully with iPadOS on an iPad Air 2 for two days, I installed iOS 13 on my primary iPhone 8 last night. It's even more stable on the iPhone 8 than on the Air 2. None of the apps I use regularly seem to have any problems, and I have seen only minor bugs, almost all cosmetic. (And some new features, particularly new parts of the Health/Salud app aren't localized yet. Some new text shows up in English along side holdover Spanish text.)

I'm not updating my primary Series 4 Watch until late in the beta cycle, and then probably only if I'm testing something for somebody. I have no interest in dealing with an unreliable Watch.

I was surprised back a few iOS betas ago that the phone would work with it, or at least the work email account, but it always has for the most part. I used to get emails saying “We see you are using unauthorized software, you will not be able to be supported if you need assistance...” or some other BS. Yes exchange but no I cannot use anything but the native email app (for work email, calendar, etc) which is unfortunate because I’d love to try the Outlook app.

No one else having trouble with incoming phone calls?

I'm having the same issue on my iPhone Xs Max. Incoming calls through a land line work fine but when someone calls from a cell phone they get a message saying that the number they dialed is incorrect.

It is for me, some bugs and crashes sometimes but pretty stable.

It’s been fine for me. Couple of resprings when I was sharing my hotspot suddenly, and a lock or two early on.

I set it up as a new install though, so I imagine that helped.
