Battery life still the same as last beta going off the first few percentage loss. Normally lose 1% after 45m-50m, now I’m losing 2% percent within 30m.

Realized on the previous beta once battery life hits 50% the next 10% percent drains very quickly without much use.

12 pro max.

Oh, come on. You’ve been here long enough to know you can’t gauge battery life the first day or so after installing an update. Report back on Saturday (your time) and then we’ll see.

Even on previous updates it never use to go down this quickly.
 
I jumped off the beta train at beta 3 when I saw problems with the camera.

the problem was that images taken in low light became blurred, it looked like watercolors. can anyone confirm that this has been fixed in beta 6?

I get the same issue, and more in Messages.
pita.

Here is the infamous “gap” between the text box and the messages ….

That’s different than the bug I have. Mine is where the text box and that area with the icons underneath show up blank for a split second when opening threads but then it all pops in. Not a big deal but it’s there.
 
Unlock with Apple Watch has worked 1 out of 5 goes. To be honest, turning on wrist activation and wifi, cains the battery, so is it worth it having them on for this? 2.5 days bat I get out of my watch. Bet this halves now. And it doesn’t work. (iPhone 12 + iWatch 5)

I am still experiencing very bad image processing with the stock Camera app as I already have mentioned before ......
This are two photos shot at exact same time and light conditions with the 2,5x lens. One shot with Camera stock app and the second shot on Halide camera app. Both are zoomed in so you can see the difference clearly.

Anyone else seeing a purplish hue when on dark mode? If you open your phone app and go from keypad to recent calls and back for a split second it goes purplish. Same in the settings app, open settings pick any of the menus and go back to main settings list it goes purplish as well for me. Reported it in beta 5 and is still do this in beta 6. Running on a 12 pro max.
 
What can i do to fix background app refresh? Since beta 1 whatsapp is not working good for me. When i open the App i see „Connecting“ for 1-3 seconds and the new messages loading then. (I get notifications and background app refresh is in the settings on)

Still seeing it on beta 6, apparently this is normal oled smearing 🤷‍♂️

Yes, if I switch back and forth real fast in the phone app I see it

Yes, the difference is very clear, and your results with the stock app are disappointing. If you're having the problem, others surely are, too.

I just did the same experiment. In my case, the stock app did a very good job; so did Halide. (both using the 2.5x lens, both of my hand)

Not sure what's causing the problem you're having, but I hope it gets resolved soon. Nobody should have to deal with such poor images from the 2.5x lens of the most expensive iPhone. (or from any iPhone)

Going to be very interested on how this does over the space of days. Both beta 4&5 started well but issues cropped up and performance degraded over time. Hoping this issue does not also happen with this beta.

12PM / IPP 11 2020
That seems to be a reoccurring theme in 14.5 beta for me.

Has those pictures been taken in beta 6?
 
Battery life seems solid on my 12p. Give it a few days to settle.
Gave it a week on beta 5, was down a good 2h on my 12 pro max, see how it goes in the next couple of days, even with less battery life still finishing the day with plenty of battery life left.

Even Zolotech said his getting 7-8h instead of 10 hours plus like he use to get on 14.4

I confirmed that. The purple hue glitch is here since the previous beta.

it’s not a “feature” of the oled screens: I downgraded to 11.4 to check and guess, there’s no purple pink at all.
