This is my first beta this year and I cannot believe how good it is. Stable as can be.
Stable but still battery drain and heat.
But this will be fixed in beta 8 or RC in a few weeks
This Beta is very stable, good battery life, no heat issue and works with Carplay in my Toyota perfectly. I came from 17.5 and I would say battery life on my 15 Plus is about the same....maybe a hair better on this Beta.
Someone who doesn’t have an Apple Watch?
I don’t know if this is a bug or if that’s how it works now on iOS 18. Let me explain, in iOS 17 my iPhone recorded my hours “in bed” when sleep mode was activated according to the schedule I have programmed.
However, since I updated to the public beta 5 of iOS 18 (it’s my first beta, I can’t know if this happened in the previous betas) my iPhone no longer records these hours “in bed”.
Does it happen to anyone else?

I have no extra battery drain or heat on both a 15 Pro Max and a 13 mini in beta 7.
How much you use your 15 PM ? Me average 7 1/2 hrs each day, maybe that’s why I experience heat and idle drain
i am also on the brink, but have no definitive answer about my banking app 😀😀 that's essential. Seem I am using a very unknown bank 😀 like Postbank - Germany. I heard it opens well but the bestsign feature to authorize a transaction hasn't been testet so far
Still seeing a little bit of keyboard lag, especially when starting a sentence in the messages app. First 3-4 betas were fine. Hopefully it gets ironed out. Really wish they would bring back the phone list feature from earlier betas as well. That might be a .1 thing down the road at this point.
For me, battery is a little worse than 17.6, but it's to be expected with a beta release. It's not horrible and I can still get through the day with power to spare. I do not have any heat issues on my iPhone 14PM. It only gets better from here.

I’m actually having shockingly good battery life. Same as 17.6. Maybe I’m just a lucky one.
I’ve been getting amazing battery life after 18.0 dev 6 on my 15 Pro Max.
I’m the same. I believe folk that have poor battery performance might be more vocal than those who do not. Tends to inflate the ‘issue’.
Maybe it’s just working hard. It cooled down after the photo processing was done.
I think the 15 Pro Max can be a hot little number. Remember at the beginning they were overheating a lot. Might be a flaw that’s just there in the hardware. Think the 14 Pro Max was actually overall a better phone.
I’ve seen my 15 Pro Max get hot pre-iOS 18 beta if I use the camera a lot
