Apple Pulls iOS 12 Beta 7 Update Due to Performance Issues

It was happening to me but I restarted twice and now the issues are gone...it would take 10 seconds to launch messages or Safari, then pause within that app.
Given that iOS 12 really hasn’t got that many features and you’d struggle to distinguish it from 11 at first glance, I’m betting that the vast majority of apple’s dev resource is working on ‘behind the scenes’ changes.
So I guess something quite significant was made live in this week’s beta that didn’t quite work out right...

This is why public testers who use the beta on their daily driver need to wait a few days so the beta testers who have a spare can identify these things. I used to install them ASAP. Now I give it 48 hours at a minimum.
And IOS 12 is supposed to be faster on older phones? I sense an epic fail in the making. 
After about 30 minutes performance is back to normal for me. Still seeing the notification for an iOS update that won’t go away but app performance is fine now.
Too early to call fail. Remember this is Beta software.And IOS 12 is supposed to be faster on older phones? I sense an epic fail in the making.
1. Because are developers...
2. Public beta, to test it and report errors and when the official iOS gets released people like you can install with all running well... you should have to be grateful.
From beta 1 to 6 have been running perfectly. This is an eventual issue with this particular version. Your comment is the real epic fail here.And IOS 12 is supposed to be faster on older phones? I sense an epic fail in the making.
I second that. That is where Mac users are better off where Mojave can be installed on a separate partition.
That's weird. I wonder why the performance would get better with time. Oh, by the way, you are famous now!
10.5 on beta 7 is fine here never noticed the issues people mentioned. After install never had a delay on apps opening etc. wonder if it was only a iPhone related issue. But glad they acted fast to pull it and get things worked out. As people said thats why there is a dev image and then public, so if there is a problem with the dev it can be stopped before it hits the pubic beta train.
Issues in this thread are somewhat mild compared to the ones here: https://forums.developer.apple.com/thread/107287
There are horror stories of boot loops.
So this beta has somewhat more serious issues than just performance issues. I think that is why it got pulled.

I've been noticing performance issues on the most recent DP (iphone 8+). Settings screen takes a while to launch and crashes when on phone call.
Don't forget, Apple had Kennedy assassinated.
Performance issues could really mean security issues they don’t want to disclose. Has anyone ever thought that maybe some of these beta’s could be exposing data to 3rd parties without your consent because you don’t really know what these betas are doing in the background, from banking apps to all kinds of apps and website scripts.
Are all these betas really as secure?

I still want the PB. Its my choice and I always make a backup of the older beta before I update, so wahts the point of letting us wait?
