I’ve just noticed sharing ETA option is now missing in CarPlay Maps this evening since installing beta 6. Hope it comes back..??
Has anyone had issues with gifs not working properly? It's like they behave like live photos. They work on the camera roll and iMessage, but when I upload them to apps like Pocket Files, Box, or Twitter, they don't work. They're unresponsive.
Minor issue in Maps while I was checking out the new areas, but happens everywhere for me.
When you’re in satellite view and then switch to map view, it is seamless and keeps the same area in view. But when going from map view to satellite view, it shows the satellite view just “down” of where you were looking...like a whole page down.
Does this no matter where I look; old map area or new. Report with video submitted.

I've switched back to google maps until they bring back the ETA function. Also seemed to experience some location update lag.
Something wrong there with stats or rogue app, beta 6 has improved battery for me.
iPhone X (92% health) 6 hrs screen time and over 17 over standby. Currently sitting at 19% battery.
Eh, depends how important certain apps and functionality is for you.
It’s now at 18%. Steady drop all day long.

My Xs Max keeps respringing (springboard crashes I see the little spinning wheel for a second or two) when I make or get a call (once the call has ended and I hangup). Anyone else have this happening?
Edit: Seems like it does it only when I am switching apps and swipe up to close the phone app while on a call (not the one that has the dialer when on an active call) but the one that you dial from when making a call (if that makes sense).

it’s improved for me back to what it was before
As for the first part, no other email client can read iCloud email other than stock Apple mail client now. Unless other companies follow the suite and permanently locks their email out of other apps, Apple mail has the greatest compatibility among all mail apps available for iOS in this regard. I know 2FA and app specific password exist, but 2FA is a disaster, and app specific password expires pretty easily. No love.
As for the second part, up until iOS 13 reaches GM, no developer can do anything related to dark mode, hence inconsistent keyboard color. But, app developer can choose to not honour system dark mode and keep the keyboard white. Everybody like a consistent UI interface, but Apple is actually the one that is the most inconsistent in UI design, and because of the OS developer position, other developers cannot challenge them. At this point I am completely confused by this keyboard dark mode thing. So I will just stop here.
Outlook, Spark and Edison, to name a few, can read iCloud email. I prefer Mail over all of these but there are options available.
I have switched my more critical email over to a ProtonMail account. All other email I am slowly scaling back their use. Looking to shutter most of my Gmail, Hotmail, and other similar email systems for the most part by year end.
[doublepost=1565402756][/doublepost]Couple of new items I have noticed, more behavior, XS Max PB5:
1. when opening a link in a Safari tab from email or another tab, at times the tab will only load the top 30% of the screen or so. If you refresh the screen the whole page loads.
2. Seeing more complete reloads of many apps when launched and they currently are residing in the task manager. Very noticeable fro those apps that have a longer initial load but traditionally a much short launch from the task manager.
Not seeing this on the IPP G2 on PB5. Just on my XS Max.
btw - PB5 fixed the massive battery drain on my AW4 5.3

Careful, we'll wind up with Apple Mail+.
In all seriousness, I use the Mail app for many of the same reasons you mentioned: the connections to mail servers are made from my device and not some server I can't access, and it allows me to easily maintain 5 mail accounts across 3 different account types seamlessly. Mail certainly has its flaws, especially for power users, but it works just fine for virtually all of the times I need to use it.
I use Edison because it’s the best one available. Their “unsubscribe” feature is amazing. One click and automatically unsubscribe from junk emails.
But sometimes your “unsubscribe” action will alert system this email address is real, prompting system to send more junk mails.

It needs 2FA though, which is a no-go for me. Hence the “incompatible” thing.
Speaking very generally: Depends how heavily the app uses anything other than system-provided colors, like background and text colors.
If your app heavily uses system-provided colors, those are all updated automatically when you build using the iOS 13 SDK, so it's painless unless you were using those colors outside their intended purpose. You may have to switch some text labels over to use the new system-provided "label color" (black for light mode, white for dark), but that's fairly straightforward.
As for custom colors, depends on whether you invested time over the past couple years on migrating those colors to named "color assets" that are stored with the app. Using these color assets requires iOS 11 or later, so many apps looking to continue to target iOS 10 may not support Dark Mode as quickly as it takes somewhat more effort.
I have my own story in updating an app for Dark Mode, and it's been a journey, but the level of effort involved is all choices on our end, not Apple's fault. In short, the app's getting a quasi-complete rewrite and complete redesign in slow motion over the next several months that we had already planned, and adding Dark Mode support comes with the complete redesign, which we're hoping to release whenever iOS 13 GM is available. (After experimenting with the old interface in Dark Mode, it's clear that the old design just…doesn't play nice with it on a conceptual level, but the design was beginning to feel dated anyway.)
After looking at our records, we have a small-enough number of users on iOS 10—and an even smaller number who cannot upgrade their current device from iOS 10—that we felt comfortable discontinuing support for it after releasing an update focused on stability and support for the foreseeable future for any users still on iOS 10. We could probably support Dark Mode and iOS 10 if we needed to, but it looked like a significant-enough level of additional effort that we made a choice based on the information that we have. So our app's getting a complete redesign for Dark Mode, and we discontinued support for iOS 10 as part of that, but those were all judgment calls on our end.

Is anyone else experiencing a bug on voice calls where you can’t hear the other person, but they can hear you?
For me, I had to look at background activity. Turns outs NPR one was gobbling up my battery in the background, behaving like it was playing even though it wasn’t. Even caused my phone to get hot. Definitely check for apps in background.
If you had just updated your phone and noticed this within the first 24-48 hours, then it was equally likely to have been caused by indexing.
example of npr one eating my battery while I slept. (Yeah, I went to bed very late) I deleted npr one and all my battery issues and heat problems disappeared. I really miss that app though.
”Recently Deleted apps” was NPR one
