Honestly I don’t understand this line of thinking as it’s not about how much money Apple has. The devs need the betas to test their code. As far as the public betas you can just ignore it if you don’t want to participate.
Got a tip for us?

Apple Pulls iOS 12 Beta 7 Update Due to Performance Issues

I’m not sure why but I’m just not having problems with this beta on my iPhone 8 Plus. Maybe I’m using it wrong.

In my opinion devs should get a stable working version with just minor cosmetic bugs. Dealing with major bugs and unfinished frameworks is not very helpful, too.
Depends on if they increment the build # and how they publish it. To be honest they should probably name it Beta 8 no matter the build (even though B7 may be the shortest lived Beta release). The thing is that there are many internal builds between actual developer/public Beta build releases. Even if they re-release and your OTA update doesn’t detect, you can still download the new build IPSW and upgrade it with iTunes without much trouble. As others have stated, I had some hangs right after upgrade to B7 today on my i8+ But so far they have smoothed out. I have noticed some odd app hangs in B5 and B6 as well so I am not sure what they have been doing. Hopefully they will get it worked out soon.
Not that it matters, but maybe there is a difference between the Qualcomm and intel modems. However that doesn't run the system. As for me, I'm on a Qualcomm unlocked iPhone X with no issues.
Hahahaha. I'm sorry, you don't quite understand the concept. Have a very nice day. Good luck and godbless.
No issues on Qualcomm modem iPhone X. It would be interesting to see from those that did - or are - having an issue what modem their device has. There are also other components that are sourced from other providers (I think the microphones in the 7 come from several different manufacturers, for example).
So Apple shouldn’t use the resource of hundreds of thousands of users with millions of combinations of software installs. They should instead test internal only, until it’s perfect. Even though they won’t have the benefit of that testing pool. Hmm doesn’t make much sense does it? Really, stay away from any beta if you want a polished product is the answer.
Mine has gone back to normal now (had the lag and freezing when first applied). I still have the update badge on my settings showing
Why do we assume Apple pulled it for these performance issues alone?
Maybe Apple found or someone sent in a bug report that uncovered a huge security flaw that Apple doesn't want to publicly disclose?

All I am seeing from your post is speculation.
My experience differs thankfully.
When you actually participate within the full scope of beta testing, and issue detailed reports back to Apple, the Dev team is actually quite responsive.
Nope. I had this same issue, but it stopped after an hour or so. All my apps are loading fine now. Even after a reboot.

You realize this is a BETA right?
This is probably the best beta I’ve ever used. Had some issues with beta 5, beta 6 was fine... but beta 7 is so fast and smooth it’s great so far on my iPhone X *knock on wood* glad I updated before it was taken down.
Literally a beta not meant for daily use. Betas are for ironing out these bugs so public launch never sees this. Quit with the sensationalism and “back in my day” stuff. Don’t install a BETA if you don’t want to put up with some bugs.
No one is defending Apple. They are simply pointing out illogical and baseless opinions, including the nonsense you posted, for the benefit of those who have sufficient brain power to process facts.
If you had even a cursory understanding of software engineering you would understand that beta testing is not about saving money. The purpose of beta testing is to test under real-life scenarios, rather than artificial scenarios that a "paid armada" would be using for testing. Paying people to test would result in crap software.
You might be on to something there. I noticed that many of the people who are reporting no problems on their X are saying that they are on Verizon. I'm on ATT (Intel phone) and have the issue.
In fact people PAY Apple for Developer Betas!
Good thing your opinion means nothing to Apple and how they choose to run their developer program. As you said they are a Trillion dollar company and have a LOT of professionals and experts on the payroll whose opinions do matter to them. However you are definitely entitled to your opinion. Just sayin.
next time someone asks why Apple does betas and tells folks to not put them on vital gear, this is why
Really, at first glance, if you’re looking at an upgraded ios 11, there’s nothing that immediately screams out that you’re on a new version of the OS, until you start to dig a little deeper.
I’m not saying that’s a bad thing - I guess it’s similar to moving from iOS 7 to 8 on a phone that you own, that’s all. Things are just more refined.
During this ramp-up between ios versions, apple is on a tear to fix bugs and implement new features. Holding back versions from the devs could/would delay their app release.
