Is it me only with this showing up? Will this resolve before beta 2? 
A few notes I’m trying to run this thing on a 13 Pro:
-To delete photos - pressing the delete button in the middle does not work. Must press it somewhat to the left.
-the installation caused the phone to be very hot, thus when it loaded the OS the screen was dim for a while - like what happens when you’ve had your son out in the sun for too long
-Chase banking app seems to be working fine
-Safari consistently stutters when scrolling

Getting that myself
WatchOs 26 has removed the waterlock feature on the watch that i use when in the shower or washing dishes as it locks the screen then after its done ejects the water. Hope apple brings the feature back as its a good feature.
This is the first time I’m not a fan of the MAC OS version. It’s hard to tell things apart, like the sidebar from the windows, and it looks like a total mess in terms of design. Unlike all the other betas, they were always pretty good, even the dev beta 1.
They haven't fixed any of the common issues and have introduced more. Also the new design looks horrible and probably cranks the GPU, resulting in worse battery life. I want more battery life, not less, especially on my Apple Watch Ultra.
As it's the first beta of a major release, I would assume there is a sizable list of issues until proven otherwise.
Oh, Lord!!
It needs a lot of work.
I don’t like the keyboard at all!!!

Loving it so far noticed no bugs on my tv except maybe the app itself seems sluggish. Phone and watch incoming…MacBook Air seems fine. I like the new design tbh.
The more I use this the more the MacOS UI reminds me of custom themes I ran on Windows Vista and 7 using Rainmeter if I remember the name right. Even the floating text menu bar has been a UI tweak for like a decade on Windows.
Future updates better fix a lot or I'm going to write this off as the worst looking UI Apples ever made. It doesn't feel current or future. It feels 2007.

14in M1 and pressing CMD+Q on Mail the window closes but I have to wait a solid 30 seconds for the dot under the Dock icon to vanish. It used to be nearly instant.
Not sure about accessibility here... maybe they'll add options to improve contrast and clarity.
Ok. I think i need to quit my job and take up a full time position filling in feedback reports with these betas. This has to be one of the most buggy first versions I've seen ever.
Wondering if it was a smart idea to do them all... mac... ios, ipados, watchos.. visionos.
It's gonna be a rocky 4 weeks
