Works quite well on my iPad Pro, but my iPhone 14 Pro Max has lost all of its wallpaper settings in the various focus modes, most of the time it is just black where there should be wallpaper, and the time/wifi/cell/battery area in the top right corner just disappears from time to time. I also have no way to customize any wallpapers. Those switches are all missing.Hopefully it gets fixed in the next update.
 
Changing the region and back worked for me. I changed to United States & back to UK. Vice versa if original location is the US.

I’m going to update the iPad and AW for sure. Phone I’ll have to wait, I just can’t risk it, use this thing for everything from getting on the bus, to unlocking my door, to starting my car, to taking payments from clients.
I didn’t think you could update AW without updating the phone first
 
I want to install PB on my iPad but am concerning interoperability issue with iOS/iPad OS 16.x. Is there known issues? I have an iPhone(iOS 16), my wife has an iPhone(iOS 16) and iPad(iOS 16) and Mac(Ventura), all devices sync iCloud and family sharing.
Good point....has anyone faced any difficulties so far?
 
Only things bugging me is the keyboard going missing periodically and in Reddit app the “go back” arrow keeps disappearing (Not sure if that is a beta issue). Otherwise phone, ipad, watch seem fine For daily use.

Well the offline maps didn’t seem to work for me on vacation. I had cellular off to not get international charges and it just didn’t seem to work for me. I ended up downloading maps on WiFi and using it offline.

I also have the iPhone 14 Pro Max and I have no issues with wallpaper. Have you tried a simple restart ?
 
Hi does anyone know how you can bring the photo option back into stand by mode as I some how deleted it and can’t find a way to add it again. I have the clocks just not the pic option.

I love the public beta thus far. It feels much smoother than iOS 16. I also believe that battery life has improved on this public beta, for the reason that when my phone remains idle the battery-drain goes flatline. Maybe it’s placebo because of the excitement I feel, but so far this rookie beta tester is “totally loving it” 😎

I've noticed this on my test unit as well; leaving it overnight seemingly has minimal impact on battery status.

I went to bed, woke up this morning, and everything looks normal again. Maybe it just needed some time to complete whatever background processes it runs upon install.
 
That’s more than not so bad. That’s excellent. Are iPads usually supported that long?

Well I can only say that in my case, I bought the original iPad in 2010, but it was only supported a coup1e of years. But I kept using it until the first generation iPad Pro (9.7 inch) was released in 2016. You can go to the iPad Wikipedia page, they list number of years supported for each model.
 
So far the public beta has been bug-free and stable. Actually seems better performing than the current version of 16. Nothing too exciting for updates though. But I do like the kaleidoscope wallpapers.
 
Three important apps I really need if someone can test them for me.

Square, Southwest, and Valley Metro. If these work, I’m getting the beta tonight.

On my iPhone 14 I was able to login to the SWA app and check flight status. I was also able to go into the Square app and look around. Do not have my card reader to be able to perform any transactions though.

I just decided to bite the bullet mostly because I just loved the new autocorrect on my already updated iPad.

So far everything functions! I am a happy camper.
 
Anyone have the beta on iPhone 13 Pro? I'm tempted but wondering if it's worth it. Standby seems like one of those always-on features but I read that it will work on the 13. I'm curious if the live widgets will work as well. I always remember the premium new iOS features often don't work on phones older than 2 years.
This is by far the best iphone update since ever. But not for those reasons you mention, I couldn't care less for all that. Finally the auto correct works on iphone for the first time. And I use that everyday, a lot.
 
I just remembered a good reason to wait - last year I lost access to my HSBC UK banking app until about a week before the launch date. Very frustrating. Not sure I have the emotional strength to go through that again.

I could maybe leave my phone on 16 I guess.
I had the same issues on previous betas, but this year its been working since dev beta 1, a month ago, no issues at all with either HSBC or other bank apps.
