Still broken - if you have a different photo for the lock screen and home screen and reboot, then login, the home screen uses the lock screen photo. To get the home screen photo back, I need to customize, select home screen, set it to pair with the lock screen, done, then go back and customize the home-screen to use the photo instead. Been this way all of this beta cycle.

Yeah, it's irritating.

If, when the phone reboots, you give it a while (a few seconds? I've not done much testing) before swiping up then it seems to work ok.

The fix I use, when I don't do the above, is to pick another lock-screen (I have one for my DND focus mode) and then pick the original one again. That fixes it until the next reboot.

Nope. On iPhone 14 Pro the site works but on iPad Air 5 I just can‘t visit the site. It’s loading for a couple of seconds, then safari page goes black and shows this:

View attachment 2334738

Tried deleting safari data, tried loading without 1Blocker no dice.

I tried this on my iPad Pro 11 g4 and it was slow but displayed okay. Did some windows shopping and had no issues.

Ah ok thanks. Well, it doesn’t work at all for me then. Don’t think it ever has on iOS 17.

You need to do a fresh restart and then completely avoid swiping left or right on the home screen or else that will trigger the effect to stop. Once you've restarted, unlock your iPhone and then tilt it around and watch a spot on your background to check to see if the icons are moving (interestingly the icons move only and not the background itself).

I'm consistently able to get it to work 100% of the time just as long as I avoid left or right swipes on the home screen. On the lock screen however, side swipes are fine and won't break the effect.

Oh yes cheers. I see now. Complete screwed as you say. Is it the end of the world and a dealbreaker? No of course not. But it is pathetic that this issue has existed for so long. Along with the easily reproducible notifications bug on my phone.
 
Google Maps and Waze display freeze in CarPlay Split View - exit Split View, and they're fine again.

I know it's early days , however , battery life is really poor compared to Beta 2 on my 13 Pro

Might be too early but battery life on my 13PM is as bad as on 17.2.1 (can't compare to earlier 17.3 betas as I updated to beta 3 straight from 17.2.1). I just plugged my phone with 18% left and 5h47m SOT lol

I'll wait few days because it obviously can change but after my experience with iOS 17, I'm pretty sure there won't be much of a difference.

But... they fixed the do not disturb polish translation from "nie przeszka-dzać" to "nie przeszkadzać".
It took them like 4 months to remove "-" from one word 😂

The same thing happened to me yesterday and I’m on 7.2.1

After 24 hours with iOS 17.3 beta 3 (no charge after update with 100% battery) on my 15PM - battery now 35% with 6:30 screen on time. Smoothie for me. I didn't notice any big bugs.

***Recommended after installing a version: reset network settings. and check if there is a carrier version update.

I haven’t found a place to vent so I’m going to leave this here:
Why would I spend nearly the same money for qi2 charges when often it’s only $10 more for MagSafe (for $20 vs $30, I’m good with $20. But for $190 vs $200…)??? If Qi2 isn’t closer the Qi pricing, it’s just MagSafe or a generic MagSafe at nearly the same price. What’s the point?

Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.
