Can anyone in the UK please advise if the HSBC banking app is still working on this release? I’m on the latest public beta currently and HSBC released a fix for the broken app just a day or so ago. Concerned updating to the next public beta with break my banking app again.

Most banking apps are refusing to work on early beta releases for security reasons (especially when it comes to a new mayor release). It's not a bug, but intended behavior. Developer betas are often less secure/less private for testing purposes.

Beside all the more or less nasty software issues, that's why your don't use betas on your daily driver, and why developer betas have the word "developer" in it.

100%. I don't see why people have to be constantly reminded of this. If you run a business with your phone, don't want to deal with multiple bugs and unstable/non-working apps or general annoyances...don't install beta software.

Hoping macOS gets a new beta today as well, Beta 4 has been brutal on my M1 machines. The first 3 betas were much better.

Indeed, I've been seeing what appears to be throttling with the CPU temp goes up, but according to the system it's not throttling at all... something else is going on.

So what you going to do? You leaving Apple ?

Where else is there to go? Giving up a smartphone altogether isn't really an option for me since I need one when I'm on call. Plus as someone who used to be on Windows Phone I can tell you not having am iOS or Android smartphone these days locks you out of certain things and/or just adds a lot of friction to life.

Apple is still the best choice but they've taken a step in the wrong direction. For now I'll just stick to iOS 14. I'm sure at some point I'll have to upgrade to iOS 15 whether I like it or not.

Is the iPadOS beta stable enough yet to put on my Air 3? I want to kick the tires but don't want my batteries to kick the bucket.

I’m running latest PB in an iPad Air 2 and 2x 6S. Occasional crashes in Safari if Twitter is open in the background but otherwise it’s working well.
