Seems the same or worse for me on iPhone 13 mini. Perhaps it’s just my shoddy cell coverage, though
I wish it would be better. The final 15.5 is **** in my case. Even after complete new install on IP 13 MAX 😩😣Seems the same or worse for me on iPhone 13 mini. Perhaps it’s just my shoddy cell coverage, though
Sorry, for a moment there I got sidetracked and thought we were talking about cell reception rather than battery life. I’ll sum it up this way: cell reception seems better/more reliable on 15.6 since so far it has used an older modem firmware version for the iPhones 13; battery life on the second beta, however, does feel a tad subpar (versus some prior recent versions) for me on the 13 mini. I could just be imagining things, though, so take it with a pinch of salt.
I do generally find running beta versions preferable to using public releases this late in the software release cycle, and if I weren’t so willing to experiment and potentially muck things up I would stay on 15.x betas throughout the summer—since I’m quite certain there will be more point-releases—until the public release of iOS 16. But we all know what I’m actually gonna do come Monday.
You and most of us, come Monday…..😜Sorry, for a moment there I got sidetracked and thought we were talking about cell reception rather than battery life.

I can’t wait to brick my phone and stop all my banking apps from working, calls drop whilst on the phone to clients and safari suck the living life out of my battery 😆😂
Have you ever thought about upgrading using the IPSW rather than over-the-air? Some people say it solves every problem 😁
In Mail, seemingly after it being inactive for a while, if you try to slide from left to right in a message to get back to your inbox, it refuses to do anything other than toggle Read/Unread. You have to close Mail and reopen it for the gesture to work properly again.
Anyone else experiencing this? It’s been happening since 15.5.

Experiencing a most annoying bug on this beta—frequent interruptions of Apple Music downloads. Restarting the Music app seems hit-or-miss (usually miss, sadly) in remedying the issue.
Also, yeah—the ‘predictive’ keyboard intelligence (which I only really use while swiping-to-type) sucks.
Edit: Just restarted the iPhone and music downloads seem to be progressing normally again. I’m not trying to simultaneously stream music this time, however, so that may be a variable.

It is crazy at times!
Here is the craziest so far for me:
I dictated a text reply "I am at an art show". Saw it print out on the screen correctly then watched as it changed into:
Not to mention the odd capitalizations and word substitutions.

Autocorrect sucks on this beta. Hopefully iOS 16 beta is way better on Monday!It is crazy at times!

You can pinch the keyboard and it will go away. Big pinch gesture.
That's the crazy part.
Works and then it doesn't. Like spell check is in a shroom reality.
The autocorrect sucks. I swiped for “you’re gonna” and it gave me “your Honda”.
Facepalm would be an understatement.

It thinks you’re in Bahstun.
Here’s my running list of words QuickPath/autocorrect “corrects” to proper names (mostly).
keyboard not as accurate for me as well - not sure if autocorrect is overcorrecting or under correcting, but either way I'm having to correct words manually way more than usual.
I’m gonna have so fewer bugs than you on iOS 16 b1 😆😂 (not)
I saw your post in the 15.6 beta 1 thread about pictures appearing orange. Is that still an issue in this beta?
