I’m not a developer and, I believe, very few AppleSeeders are. We were invited ages ago to join their beta test program. In the early days, I had additional devices that weren’t used as often as my iPad and phone are, so I would use one of them for the installation, and if things progressed well enough, I would consider installing on my primary devices. A couple of releases, I believe the worst for me were 8, 10, and 11. 11 I’m certain was horrible as it was still really bad when it was released that fall to the public. 11.1 came out fairly quickly and resolved the worst of the issues, but, as I had a brand new device that came installed with 11, it was pretty disturbing.
Anyway, since those days, I hold off until version 4 or 5 of any current betas. This time, however, I got lured in and installed beta 2 on my iPad. I still won’t touch my phone with these. So far, I’ve been quite surprised and pleased at how few issues I’ve run into. Back in the iOS 11 beta days, filing submission reports became a full-time job with all the issues I was discovering every day. So far, in 26, I’ve only filed 2. The other things I see are just some display glitches such as one element overlaying another, which is normally cleared by either scrolling up and down or closing out the app. But nothing really that I wouldn’t expect to see at such an early stage. No battery issues, no heating, that seems to have been mostly reported on the phones. Nothing critical that impairs my using my iPad in all primary functions.
