i compared my iphone 12 PM with a 12P and it's definetly whiter than before. The same happened to a friend.
Not with me that’s strange for me it’s exactly the same, I doubt they would of changed the screen temp but maybe upload a photo to show it
I don't know if this is new in 14.7 beta or if it's been around longer than this but opening Apple Music today I got a splash screen asking me if I wanted to turn on notifications for new music releases by artists whose music I've already downloaded.
I believe that @LFC2020 stated in another thread that the green tint on his phone was resolved with the screen swap.
Yep, looks fine now, some people have said that green tint did comeback for them after a while. 😳
Oops wrong thread, I’m on iOS 15 🤦♂️😂

Not having battery drain, battery life is very good in standby mode, it is down by a hour or two, that’s to be expected since we’re very early in the beta cycle, should improve as time goes on.
Okay so this is the first build of iOS since 14.5.1 that I’m noticing what I would describe as obviously better battery life.
I was on the 14.6 betas, 14.6 stable, been on most of the 14.7 betas, all of have them have been really middling and not much different since the initial hit that 14.5.1 brought.
I know it’s only been out a day, but this is easily the best battery day I’ve had since before 14.5.1
EDIT: In fact I’m almost determined to just remain on this build until 15.0 final comes out, I’ve learned my lesson about just casually installing public iOS releases. The only reason I’ve been on the beta train at all was because of the battery issue.

I hate to say it but at this point, if it happens again, might be a good excuse to get an upgrade. Of course, apple would like that, but if it solves the issue, better off for both parties. So far I have not had the issue on my 12 pro. It is just over 3 months old, so not a long time but hasn't come up yet. *fingers crossed*
A free upgrade to a iPhone 13 🤔 I like the way you think. 😃😂
That's been said for a while but wanted to know if that were the case for @LFC2020. Apparently it was as was posted.
I am not sure about your use of the word “breaks”.
However I can confirm that beta 5 is using the folder name format of 101Apple, 102Apple etc.
Hi GBstoic,
I mean « goes back to ».
Beta 4 was using « 07_2021 » folder names etc… beta 5 is back to 101Apple…

Pretty smooth experience so far on my 12PM. Excellent battery life, too.
Happy to stay on 14.7 until iOS 15 is further along and on a weekly beta update schedule, hopefully in about a month.

I updated to 14.7 last night from 14.6 hoping to see improvements in battery life and Bluetooth. So far my iPhone 11 has lost only 12% since being off the charger since 7am which is a huge improvement. Haven't tested BT yet.
Was getting really fed up with the battery drain and Bluetooth not connecting seamlessly, especially with phone as key function for my car.

Yeah, I reported the first post of the beta 4 thread to the administrators and asked them to make this one sticky instead. Not sure whether that was correct procedure but it worked.
