I noticed it too. I do not believe that badge count was there before..
The way battery health is determined is more like a best guess given present conditions. It’s a bit arbitrary, and it’s entirely plausible battery capacity isn’t calibrated well in the beta. I wouldn’t be surprised if you see that percentage go back up on a more refined beta.
Your correct @gwhizkids i had to go on wifi to download the cleanup files!
With how hot the phone was getting, and how regularly it was getting that hot, the battery degradation doesn't surprise me. That coupled with not seeing other folks posting about inaccurate battery health percentages lead me to believe my battery was literally being roasted to death.
🔥🧑🚒 I normally hop on the iOS beta cycle when the first beta of iOS XX.0 drops after the WWDC event in June. I usually start the beta cycle with battery health between 97-99% and, by iPhone launch day in September, my battery health has dropped to 86-88%
Shocked that I’m still at 93% after 448 cycles. Not sure why iOS 18/18.1 has been so good to my battery…
My 15 Pro used to ALWAYS get super hot while running iOS 17, but it’s almost never hot with iOS 18/18.1

What do you mean by “background items”? If you mean “things other than the main subject of the photo” then I am not experiencing that. I can delete a main subject, though the feature struggles to figure out how to fill in what was removed.
Edit: I’ve played around with it some more. Some foreground features 𝘢𝘳𝘦 difficult to remove. It seems to be related to the degree of edge contrast between the item to be removed and the surrounding area. High contrast = a more successful removal.

I took the risk today and am amazed at how well 18.1 b3 works on my daily driver, 15Pro Max. It took a bit of time to download Siri, but then all was well. Siri has much improved. Sending texts via Siri is amazing; emailing via Siri has a few problems dictating the text. Overall, I am happy, and there is lots more to discover. NOW for Watch OS11
If you're planning on upgrading to the 16 keep in mind you won't be able to restore from backup out of the box because it will be running iOS 16 and you can't restore to a newer version of iOS as far as I remember. I could be wrong. If that's still the case you will have to set up the iPhone as new and upgrade to 16.1 before restoring from backup.
I spent a couple of hours playing with Cleanup. Not perfect (you can't expect too much from it right now), but pretty good.
Is it still needed in the EU to be logged in into the App Store with a US account to get Apple Intelligence?
Do
Don’t keep checking the waitlist time… it’ll pass a lot quicker! 🤣
As has already been said, force close photos and reopen, it will then go to “preparing” and will work.
