Make sure it’s plugged in. Locked and in the freezer over night. Will be fine in the morning as the iOS remembers when your about to take it out.
Got a tip for us?

iOS 14.5 Beta 7 ― Bug Fixes, Changes, and Improvements

I had this problem and was confused until I learned that you have to have the MacOS 11.3 Beta installed in order to do an IPSW update.
Sadly if you're on Windows you're SOL with ipsw files and will have to use the profile to update.
This beta is awful. My wifi goes down on my phone with beta 7 using safari. After it goes down none of my apps can connect to the web. So it’s a wifi issue. Possibly safari is causing it. Happens randomly with different web sites. Turning off wifi and back on seems to fix it temporarily.
anyone else having this issue with beta 7?

Serious beta issues - 12PM - All new for this beta.
Instead of LTE, the device wants to continually drop into 4G. Have tried rebooting, reset network setting all to no avail.
In Sedona Az, Apple Maps keeps coming up blank while Google Maps has no such issue.
Messages sending text - at time messages with emoji or pics will tke 5-10 seconds to send. You can watch the blue line crawl across the top of the screen. Definitely not normal. Seeing this sending from my IPP 11 (iPadOS beta 7) also.
All reported.

Don’t want to jinx it, but so far all of my iMessage links have showed up properly…
I don't have the beta installed because I don't have a disposable device to install it. That's why I asked if anyone could try what I asked, if possible.
That may be good in theory however oddly enough no matter how large the update is on an iOS device (roughly 500mb) via a MacBook Pro, they all take the same amount of time during "Preparing update". This is illogical as an update on iOS should not take as long as a MacBook Pro update (roughly 3GB) or vice versa, since there is less code due the smaller file sizes in IOS. Now if this process took longer on a MacBook vs an iOS device that would make sense. Less binary code to modify due to the smaller updates would usually mean less time even during the "Preparing update" process. Apple recently promoted "smaller updates" but what is the point when they take just as long if not longer as original. Logic dictates that smaller updates should be quicker, not equivalent or slower.
Have you considered that the (relatively insignificant in the grand scheme of things) preparation time is NOT the reason for smaller install packages? Bandwidth and data caps come to mind…
Now you're playing with fire
Hope it stays fixed!
If you don’t want to jinx it, don’t say it. You never know with them Gods. Praying doubly hard now and hoping it counters the potential jinx.
And it totally sucks! When is Apple going to fix this? Also, iTunes is STILL adding double playlists when syncing. I mean seriously? Is ANYONE at Apple paying attention or simply just does not give a **** and just expects us to roll with it?
Still having an issue with the Music App & CarPlay. If I'm listening to something already, or started a playlist, and then plug my phone in my car, whatever is playing stops playing, and Hall & Oates starts playing (don't judge). Now, this is something in my Library, but I was already playing something else! lol And it shows it as "Unknown Title" and there's no songs listed in the Up Next section. I can clear my Up Next queue and quit all apps and reboot my iPhone 12 Pro, but the next day I can have a queue of music set and something playing, plug it into my car, and boom. More Hall & Oates, same song starting over. Nothing listed in up next...

I wish Apple would publish actual release notes (for both iOS and MacOS betas) that listed bugs they've tried to fix.
That way we'd know what to test, rather than just doing basic stuff with the phone, logging Feedbacks which rarely get updated, only for the public release to come out and things to fall over as we were never asked to test them.

Like the MANY bugs in recent years , yes they expect you to roll with it as they aren't seeing any drop in revenues or demand. Sad truth.
It's getting time to accept that while apple does make great hardware, their software is just good enough with a few nice surprises and a LOT of random bugs. This isn't the "silky smooth" "it just works" company anymore.
I know - I get it in the Feedback app. it usually lists one, or zero, fixes per beta.
Be careful because there are guys on this forum that will won't admit that we can say anything against Apple, because they are always right and because this is a beta!!!
Ah, and VPNs are STILL not keeping connected!!!! One more beta and no way them to fix this!! This is a beta, I know and I'll wait!! Seated, of course!!

I'm guessing the problem is not about saying bad things about Apple or the beta, but dramatizing it like it's the worst issue in the world when it is probably something fairly minor and just an annoyance.
Your prayers seem to be working. Still all good over here.
