Some new options for screen snapping/resizing using the Green button.

I'm probably alone here, but I think they should stop adding so many doodads to iOS. Almost every area of a screen triggers something else, with menus and options and submenus. I think it's lost so much Apple elegance. I don't know if some old stuff should go away or what, but I'm eager for a refresh that reflects updates that are more streamlined.

I'm obsessed with this study about how we solve things only by addition, and too infrequently by substraction.

Sometimes simplifying is the answer.

Let’s hope for a carrier change soon then buddy for T-Mobile
Hmm, 13PM here, on T-Mobile US getting 500Mbps Plus down on 5GUC just now, on this beta. When I first installed 15.4 b1 the only issue I saw was occasionally losing ability to use data. Had to either reboot the phone or turn Airplane Mode off then back on. If I remember correctly I followed Pearsey's install method and have for some time (IPSW, reboot, reset network settings). So I Reset Network Settings again, and it has been good since. T-Mobile 49.6.5 and modem firmware 1.55.00.
Although I must agree that T-Mobile version 49.0 was rock solid.

Got a kernel panic 4 times today, all while plugged into my MBP with hotspot on. The first time on 1/30 was while connected to CarPlay and (I think) with the lightning cable plugged in to charge. I've read that it's a software issue and I'm hoping that 15.4b2 improves this.

Health and Fitness are two of the most frequently updated features in recent iOS releases, and the underlying database schema changes applied during iOS updates seem to frequently not be backwards-compatible.

This is why I strongly recommend making a local encrypted backup from the latest released version before installing any iOS beta, and that you accept that if you later roll back to the previous version (restoring from that backup) you will probably lose any health and fitness data that was collected while the beta was installed.
Or, just forget about beta being a thing and never install it unless you want to travel with this beta train the entire time until it reaches the terminal station.
 
Btw, safari crashes every time switching tabs in slide over. IPP 11” 2021.
Universal control doesn’t even excite me enough to use it for more than 30s. Guess this is life.

Me the same. Got reboots when lightning is plugged in. It’s a bug.
 
So Maps (in CarPlay at least) just randomly forgets that it's navigating. You have to go back to the Maps app itself and tap on the screen to get it to go "Oh yeah, I had a task to perform!".

Anyone else experience that?
You may want to ask in the deicated Maps thread stickied on the main iOS 15 page....but no, have never had that happen.

It's definitely related to this beta, as it hasn't happened before and as I had to drive through several different, reasonably long tunnels for work yesterday, watched it happen upon exiting them every single time.

Combine this behavior with that complained of by the user in the Maps thread who is seeing map lag at intersections and it makes me start to think we may have a Maps-GPS issue again.

Anytime I have had a maps lag problem, I cycle off and back on location services and it is good to go again. It would reappear every few days in the 15.0 beta days, but haven't seen it on the 15.4 beta.

Hmm.

While none of my tunnels directly have intersections at their portals, they do pass over roads perpendicular to them in relatively close proximity.
