B2 makes my phone warm but it is relatively cool by comparison. B1 made my phone run HOT, and it didn’t take much. Problem hot. Hotter than whatever you’re imagining.
 
Is anyone having issues syncing Notes and Photos between Mac and iPhone? My photos haven't synced in hours, and test additions to Notes on each platform haven't shown up on the other. Help!

The issue I noticed today was using Waze in CarPlay. Not sure if anyone else is having this issue - the destination time and miles on the bottom lower left slowly disappears after about 10 minutes. Just a very light grey box. I closed out my route and re-initialized it, it worked the first time but not this afternoon on my drive home. Hope this makes sense?I will try to get a picture of this when I drive again.
 
Not sure if it bothers anyone else but I have the second beta running in UTM to play with and I hate the transparent menu bar. With all the smooth rectangles and corners I think a better look would be to put a frame around the menu bar with rounded ends, giving it a bit of a shadow or blur behind the text and icons.
 
2025 BMW X5M.. still have three widgets in CarPlay. Also is the Apple logo next to the CarPlay image on the phone screen when connecting new? Don't recall seeing that previously?

2025 Toyota Camry: With or without Smart Display Zoom activated, it stays at 3 icons on the side and I can't get 3 stacks of widgets. It's always 2 stacks of widgets, despite the fact I have a very wide screen.

Also, when I turned on/off Smart Display Zoom, it deleted all the widget settings and set them back to stock, so I had to go back and repopulate all the widgets.

Also, some of the third party widgets just don't play nice. I installed the CityNews web radio widget and played that. Then I clicked on Spotify, but CarPlay plays BOTH at the same time. However, I blame that on the CityNews widget because it does that on the phone too.

If there are “third party” widgets in CarPlay, then obviously they are not CarPlay specific, since that’s not a valid option for developers yet. Maybe there’s an issue with how widgets are “translated” from the phone screen to the CarPlay display. And that might explain some of the inconsistencies between how they appear on various screen sizes.

Nah, the 2 vs 3 widget stack thing is the same with Apple's widgets too. For some reason despite my screen being a 12.3" ultra-wide screen, I only get 2 stacks of widgets across with 3 app icons down on the side, even if they're native Apple apps and widgets. On some other cars, they get 3 stacks of widgets across, and 4 app icons down on the side in iOS 26 (whereas it was 3 app icons down in iOS 18).

Some YouTuber's car:

I think that YouTuber might have a 12.9" screen in his Cupra, but I'm not sure since AFAIK he doesn't actually mention the car or the screen size.

Anyhow, it makes for a lot of wasted space on my car's screen.
 
On my 15 Pro, When you attach a MAGSAFE BATTERY (I have 2 QI2 certified ones), they either DO NOT charge the phone at all, or the charging constantly STOPS and STARTS and never really charges, or charged to 80% and then stops. Today I had the magsafe battery connected and no charging at all, However, if you attach a USB-C cable to the phone, all is OK, or if you you one of those CHARGING PADS (not magnetic or QI2), charging works. I saw others have this issue and reported it on REDDIT.
I thought I was the only one having this issue! However, I am having this problem with an iPhone 14 Pro and a Belkin 3-in-1 MagSafe charger bought directly from Apple.com. During the night, it charges to pretty much 80%, stops, and then constantly, indefinitely goes through a cycle of charging and then not charging. Very obnoxious!
