Much improved! The colors are still over processed but the overall color is much better.
Tried 15.6 beta 2 and the LTE performance on AT&T was abysmal. Ping jumped up from 25 ms to something closer to 100-150. Seems like the phone was locking onto lowband LTE as well. Reverted back to 15.5
I’m noticing my base 13 model on iOS 15.6 b2 is draining battery quicker compared to 15.5.
I’m below 20% at bedtime now, whereas on 15.5 on an average day I’d be at 30-40%.
I have always found it prioritizes proper names when that’s rarely what I needHere’s my running list of words QuickPath/autocorrect “corrects” to proper names (mostly).
There's always hope for b3 as us minority won't take the jump to 16 just yet.
Looked at the apps that don't work correctly and a couple there are iPhone specific that I need - will wait.
I did put it on my iPad Pro 11 G2 - not bad. It is fairly stable but you can tell it's a b1.
I also have some apps, mainly work apps that may not work, so I can't take the jump yet either. Will probably wait until August before jumping on board so let's go 15.6!
13 ProMax - 15.6b2
In the midst of a Teams call, all data in just stopped.
WiFI, 5G, LTE - all gone.
Played around for a while, even tried resetting Network Settings all with no success.
Going to keep trying things hoping I do not have to reset.
One item of note, my 15 beta profile vanished off the phone.
Will update when I have more…..
Update:
Root cause was Private Wi-Fi Address was causing a VPN issue.
Once I got the VPN off (turn off and it would turn back on - got it off by selecting an outdated VPN option in Settings > VPN) and turned off the Private Wi-Fi Address, everything returned to normal. Turned the VPN back on and all is good. Not sure why the 15 Profile went missing but I reinstalled it. So far so good.

I'm posting this in both 16 and 15.6 beta threads.
iPad Pro 11 2020 - 16.0 b1
iPhone 13 ProMax - 15.6 b2
I've posted in both the 15.6b2 thread and the 16.0 b1 thread on this issue - slow to launch apps; my OnePlus 9 Pro is quicker.
The 13 ProMax is OTA
The iPad Pro 11 was OTA then ipsw.
Both suffer from this issue.
Spent some time comparing both devices on Wi-Fi (6e), 5G, LTE, and in Airplane Mode.
1. If the app is native and runs only native it is very fast.
2. If the app queries the internet or does a guick pull it is fast irrespective of Wi-Fi, 5G, or LTE.
3. If the app pulls/fetches from the internet and has a live link (up and down) it is slow. Doesn't matter if it is Wi-Fi, 5G, or LTE. Once it launches and is up and running (ready for use) it is generally very fast.
For #3, I'll use Proton Mail as an example, if I place the device in Airplane Mode it is fast. Turn off Airplane Mode and it crawls at launch.
This does appear to fit into on again - off again issue many of us are seeing with Wi-Fi. If it was the internet site/source or Wi-Fi, 5G, or LTE, I would be seeing this across all my devices (OnePlus 9 Pro Android 11, Lenovo X280 Ubuntu 20.04, Lenovo X280 Win10 (x2), Galaxy Chromebook, MBP 2015 Monterey). I'm not. Everything is running great on all but the iDevices.
Here is to hoping that Apple eventually fixes this issue.
I have posted Feedback.
