Agree. And frequently the problems are resolved, too.
Hopefully this terrible battery life is fixed with the next beta. At the 50% mark I’m getting 1h30m less usage on my 12 pro max ?

Still have plenty left at the end of day, I’ve gotten spoilt by awesome battery life. ?

Apple releases its software updates have basically been based on their product/event schedule. Especially in recent years this has been the case. They released iOS 11 anyway because new iPhones were ready to ship.

Not likely now 14.4.2 came out I think we will have more betas
Think you're right, battery life on my 12 pro max is way down ?‍♂️ deleted the profile thinking 14.5 beta would be good enough, time to reinstall the profile and wait for beta 6 tomorrow ?‍♂️

We’d never see an official release if we could base it off complaints here. Look at literally every single beta/release thread and the stupid amounts of people whinging about battery life.
So you want people to be happy that they're getting 2-3 hours less battery life on their 12 pro max? ? feels like I'm using my XS max again ?‍♂️

It is a beta. You have no idea why you are getting less battery life. For all you know it’s related to something they are testing in the beta.
Beta 6 or RC tomorrow? ? seeing how bad this beta is, I’m going with beta 6 tomorrow.

After the way beta 5 is for me, I’m actually happy to wait for another beta or rc as the longer means a more polished release

I don’t think there will be beta 6, but RC1 and even announced prob will be first week of April.

but who the hell knows, I just want another 2 releases for 14.5 to fix all the issues recent beta introduced
