iOS 13 Beta installed on Primary?

Installed this most recent beta on my xs. Way too buggy to be a daily driver, which is surprising this late in the cycle. Too many spring board crashes, app hang ups, etc. I rolled it back to 12.4 after a couple days.

iPad OS seems to be much more stable...maybe it’s more of a different os than we thought it is.

We are not ‘late in the cycle’... maybe just past the half-way point in terms of number of beta releases.

We are barely a month away from the GM. We usually have 7-8 beta ‘s for major releases so yes, we are now far on the beta cycle. Maybe 2/3 until the GM. At this point it’s usualy stable with little bugs here and there left but this time around it’s still not that stable and very buggy. I think iOS 11 beta was better at the same period of time. I’m not very optimist right now for the final build quality.

Yep that’s my point. I typically install the public beta on my main device about this time in the cycle, around 5 or 6. Ios12 and 11 were very stable and polished and I had very few issues running them until the GM. Not so much with 13.

iOS 10 had 8 betas plus the GM.
iOS 11 had 10 betas plus the GM.
iOS 12 had 12 betas plus the GM.
iOS 13 is sitting on beta 6 as of this moment. It's NOT "late in the cycle".

Following the pattern of previous betas, we’re at least halfway through. We’re closer to the end than the beginning. That to me is “late”.
 
I’ve installed every major iOS release beta on my daily driver(s) starting with beta 1, day one, every year since iOS 7.

This year’s been one of the better ones.

Ditto for me, except from iOS 8. This year's has been the most stable - for me. I've only gone from beta 2 for iOS 13, but it's been remarkably stable.

Which current beta bugs bug you the most? PB5 here, running on both iPhone 7 and iPad Air 2. No complaints, except for the battery life, but this gets tweaked by the very end of the beta cycle.
 
On my iPad Pro 12.9. So far it seems very good. So far so good. Tempted to install it on my iPhone Max. But I will wait until early September when it’s closer to the GM beta.
 
Battery life on my XS seems to be a little worse than it was on iOS 12 but it's definitely not an issue. Generally, the latest (public) beta that I'm running is pretty solid. Mail still has some weird bugs and I need to force quit it every now and then but all my other apps seem to be fine.
 
Have latest beta installed on my iPad 11 Pro and iPhone X with only minor issues that I can live with :cool:
 
I installed it on my 8 Plus as soon as the Public Beta launched (PB 1 equals to Dev Beta 2) and i hated it. It was slow, buggy and overall pretty broken. Which is interesting, since i also tested the Public Betas of iOS 10, 11 and 12 on my main devices at the time and it worked just fine. I don't mind minor small bugs, obviously it's still a Beta. But this year it was different. So i had it installed for one day and then i restored to iOS 12. Will get it as soon as the Final version is released.
 
Finally jumped onboard with Beta 7. Seems pretty stable with the occasional visual bug. Mail still needs a lot of TLC, however.
 
Web browsing is an occasional hot mess. FB non-app on the web can take 5-10 sec to load and there are sites that simply don’t load and I have to use chrome. I gave up on mail and use spark which I’ve had for years and am now coming to love.

Installed on daily driver since b1, apart from the iCloud Music Library bug in the Music app, has been very promising and stable so far.
 
I'll wait at least for the GM, but sure go ahead, whole thread is running iOS 13 already. Mainly it's battery life what's worse, not to say, I will have at least a year of time to enjoy the new features, so I do not mind waiting a bit more.
