Yep - handoff doesn’t seem to be working between my HomePod mini and iPhone 12 mini.
No haptic feedback, nothing on the screen, no music transfer.
This beta definitely feels like a step back from Beta 2.
Looks like it might be a while before we see the final release😔 you still noticing the occasional stutter when opening/closing apps?
Yes, I just noticed it today. My phone does absolutely nothing when approaching my HomePod Minis now. I have to manually select them via AirPlay.
I’ve actually never experienced/noticed the stutter that so many people talk about, so I can’t really say.
It doesn't work that way. They don't wake up at Apple one morning and say, "gosh, there are more bugs in this beta than we thought. Better delay the release date!".
Barring something mind-blowing, we'll get 14.5 precisely when Apple intended for us to get it...bugs and all.
They wouldn’t release it with all these airplay problems and music issues the music app is so bugged, they will add more betas till it’s ready
People always mention this like it’s an easy troubleshooting decision. Do you guys realize that you will lose all your Wi-Fi passwords? Do you know how annoying it is to have to put in all of those passwords again wherever you go?

Known Issues
- You might be unable to use Handoff to transfer audio to HomePod. (74799729)
Workaround: Use playback controls or Control Center instead.
Sure they would. Then release a 14.5.1 a day or so later if need be. They do it all the time.
I seem to have a way better battery in beta3
Here’s a weird one…
In the Music app, when you open your music queue for the first time, the first song in the queue won’t be able to be moved (no icon next to the song).
However, every time you close/open the queue afterwards it’ll be fine. BUT…any time the Now Playing window is closed and then you open the queue again…you’ll experience the same issue.
So, basically, you have to open the queue, then close it, and then reopen it in order to move the first queued song around.

My guess is that they knew this beta had those issues even before releasing it, but released it anyway (it's a beta, after all) and are already working on, or even already have a fix, for the next beta. One has to assume they do at least some testing before releasing betas, but I could be wrong
I mean, someone at Apple must have rebooted their device at least once and seen the Settings badge, for example.
And we have no idea why there are these problems. Perhaps they are testing solutions and have deliberately degraded the affected areas to test. These are beta tests after all: they are testing something.
As I’ve said numerous times here, the beta cycle is not necessarily a smooth progression from rough to polished.
Interesting, I just had the best overnight battery drain I've had in a long time. Literally no drop after 7 hours. But I still have the raised blacks, so I know how you feel.
Interestingly I am getting mixed results.
IPP11 2020 - overnight consumed about 1% an hour
12PM - overnight consumed 3%-4% an hour
12PM was better under beta 2
My setting to unlock the apple watch with my iPhone was reseted. I activate it again in the Watch Settings. Try it.
