Hello all. I am STOKED for the PB hopefully coming out soon today.
BUT.....I have a few questions. If I get it on my iPhone 5s, will I be able to use my Apple Watch without an issue.
Also, would I still be able to use the apps I have installed?
Thanks!
 
yes IOS 9 Beta will not effect your watch functionality and it will work as it does now. However, if a specific app doesn't work on your phone with ios 9 beta it will stop functioning on the watch.

Ok. So some apps may not work. Got it, thanks!
 
If the public beta is the same build as beta 3 from yesterday, using it may not be the best idea. It's a bit buggy and more so than beta 2 which was pretty good.
I haven't found that to be the case. What isn't working in beta 3 that worked in 2? Mine seems pretty stable on a 6+

Ill prob just get it on my iPad Air and see how it goes. If I deem it ok, ill put it on my iPhone.

Just by going through the beta 3 thread and through my own use there definitely seems to be a consensus that it's not as good as beta 2. People are reporting poor battery life compared to beta 3, I found many new UI bugs which weren't in beta 2 along with ones since beta 1 that haven't been fixed.
