The issue for some is that the System Data storage size can be high and affect some adversely. In my case, I was seeing the System Data at 37 GB and it stayed that way, would not go down. Nothing I tried would reduce it until I did a clean install and it stayed low after the clean install. Why give up storage for a OS bug. And it is a OS bug if the System Data was Hugh before a clean and low after clean install and stayed that way.
Yes, System Data will fluctuate depending what resources the OS might need. The issue is not that it fluctuates but that it is stuck using a large amount of space and not reducing down. Even a forced restart won’t fix it.

Great case for why we try these things out and share for people to try. Hoping they get results. @adrianlondon
Your keyboard would be still be screwed if we didn’t ?
I want to add that it is also trying to understand why your phone maybe acting a certain way. The real world example is a person who is getting a low storage warning and they see the System Data consuming a large amount of space and can’t figure out how to recover the space. This can affect things like doing an iOS update, there isn’t enough space to do the update. I have seen people report that the System Data is consuming more then 100 GB. These are cases to report to Apple for them to fix.
Tried reporting straight to Craig F at Apple, he was interested at first, then when he offered a fix, he was never seen again. ??
Alright: I should have stated this. That was an example of the type of things that happen and came straight to mind. Next time it happens for real, I’ll leave it as is.
You don't expect him to become your pen pal, do you. 😂

Well they did exchange emails 3 times. So it was not completely unreasonable to expect a further response.
😆😂 Noooooo 😢.
just respond when he sets you a task would be nice.
oh well, gave it a shot.
Phones is on steroids by the way after that wipe and encrypted restore. Very responsive. feels great. proper spring clean.

I have also reported 3 separate issues to Craig F. Within an hour someone from Apple called me to gather data to send to engineering. I guess there will be a fourth instance to report to Apple for the Home Controls in Control Center.

Despite that claim, you still may have to re-enter saved passwords, reauthorize security settings, and run into two-factor authorization re-authorization (Amazon in Safari ....).
It is better than having to reenter all the stuff though!
I did this to see if it would kill a few bugs and possibly help with my data drop issue.
In the beginning.
Now all the photos and videos are there.
Total size reported is off though.

For me an iCloud restore is generally quick except:
1. it seems to take forever for all the apps to download
2. some of my data cannot be backed up to the iCloud (work)
I do it because of health Data and passwords etc. At least that was before iOS started a password manager.
I installed 15.5 beta 1 last night using the ipsw file. So far everything that I use daily has been working as expected, no issues with cellular (verizon) or wifi (att fiber). Carplay worked with no issues this morning to work, but my airpods pro has been acting weird today.
A couple of things have started showing up after I did the ipsw on my 13 ProMax.
Keep in mind that overall it is running smoother after the "refresh" and overall errors that impact my daily use are down.
Here are a couple of the latest.
1. Seeing a number of SiriSearchFeedback errors in Privacy > Data. These are all Error 313 (something went wrong). I have not used Siri since the update. Maybe she feels neglected?
2. I open my stock Calendar to a blank screen. If I kill the app in App Manager then relaunch it works fine. Happened 3x so far today. My Exchange and iCloud calendar are mapped to this app.

I've noticed cellular connection on my 13PM stays on regular 5G more on this beta instead of 5GUC.

I agree. After using the phone all day I have seen the same behavior. I also found another issue, you can’t change Siri voice in this beta. I have always used voice 1 and I noticed the somehow Siri is now a male voice. When I tried to change it, it just stays on downloading but never does anything.
I’m hoping we see a new modem firmware in B2, as connectivity has been very patchy on Wi-Fi and cellular with this beta.
