There’s a thread for this please:
It's gone on my daily and to be honest, still feels like I’m on iOS 16.
All my banking apps work so I’m happy to suffer any small bugs along the way like usual.
One thing though, betas 2 and 3 can take a turn for the worst, so just keep that in mind. 👍🏼
Completely normal behavior. Apple does lots of logging and other diagnostics during the summer betas. The extra analytical software and the logs they generate are what you are seeing.
I don't see any difference. If you mean the colour it changes depending on the album art.
We’re likely to see a fair number of “new” things in the upcoming betas (probably through beta 3 or so).
My guess is that we’ll see the Journal app in 17.2 in November/December, much the same way FreeForm was introduced. That means beta testers should see it around the end of October.
Now that’s interesting

Is the one on the right 16.5? Because I’m on 16.5 and mine looks just like the one on the left.

Please post about apps that work or don’t work in the thread dedicated to that.
The beta seems solid but there will always be outlier cases where someone has a bad (and sometimes very bad) experience. That may or may not be you.
It will also depend on your own tolerance and needs. If you drive for a living, having the GPS stop working on Maps (to use an experience I had in iOS 13) could be a deal killer for you but was not for me. One never knows where these big problems pop up.
Finally, the betas are not always linear in terms of stability. Many years the stability goes down after beta 1 and does not really return until beta 6 or so (mid to late August).
Bottom line: save an archived backup of your current setup and know how to get back to 16.5 (or the 16.6 beta if that’s where you are now) before you install iOS 17 and you should be fine.
It's very temperamental.
Lying flat on my desk, on a MagSafe charger, it barely activates and seems to keep reverting back to the usual Always On display. Is it only meant for use with stands then?
Did that. But what is wild is that it fixed itself before I went to bed… I will see if it stayed that way today when I get to work.
I forgot to mention too. Last night, was unable to accept (or even decline I guess) meetings on my exchange account through the mail app. The meeting opened up and actually looked nice on the calendar on the mail app, but no buttons to accept/decline.
I went into the Outlook app and it worked fine.

I just noticed I also have the bug where I could download iOS 17 as a public beta tester. It’s funny though, after how buggy and unreliable iOS 16 has been for almost a year and how there aren’t a lot of new features in iOS 17 and most of them are more social features (which require your contacts to have iOS 17), I have no urge to upgrade until the release candidate in September.
Thank you for the non-preaching answer. Appreciated.
I am in the process of installing it knowing the risks.
If things go bad, I can simply erase the phone and restore it from an iOS 16 backup. Correct?
If you have one on your Mac then yes, because iCloud makes a fresh copy every night, so it would be with the new system, so you cannot return in that way.

A nice added touch under the weather app. My location and moon look Different.
