I may try it on my aged iPhone 6 Plus tonight. I'm afraid to download it on my iPhone X for one reason: That it will pulverize battery life. In my experience, betas often tend to suck more juice out of my phones, and frankly, so do the final releases of the next versions.

Battery life will vary based on apps used etc. For me, battery life has been the same as iOS 11.4.

Think ima wait one more rev on this and Mojave (which was also released to the public today).

Just to clarify, macOS Mojave wasn't released today. It's listed as "Coming Soon," which we didn't initially notice. So we did have a macOS Mojave story, but I removed it because it's not actually out. Sorry for that mixup! iOS 12 and tvOS 12 are available today, though.

FWIW - I ran DB1 and now DB2. It's fast. Since DB2 ( = PB1?) everything *I* use works fine. But it definitely burns the battery more than 10 or 11, which is not a surprise for a beta.

Yes, DB2 doesn't "pulverize" the battery but runtime is definitely shorter.

I’m still on developer beta 1. Is the public beta different?

You should update to DB2 or PB1. DB2 runs much better, with no app problems -for me-. Much better than DB1.
 
If I downgrade back to iOS 11, will I be able to restore from an iCloud backup that was running on iOS 12 beta?
 
way past updates here... Ipod Touch 5 is only on ios7, but maxes out at ios9.3.5 anyways
Ipad Air is only on ios8, but I checked... it's actually going to get ios12! Whether or not I should go ahead with this is another thing entirely.
