Even the people that don't bother to send in actual bug reports, as long as people don't turn off the send logs to Apple and devs, I'd imagine they get a huge number of those that can end up being quite helpful to them as well.
Got a tip for us?

Give me some updates of iOS beta 4 please. I can't update on my phone because the wifi is broken.
Eh, why not. I have run all of the previous betas with mixed results. The only thing that has kept me going back to iOS 10 is the music complication not working correctly with my S2SS Apple Watch. Perhaps it will work with this build. Here's hoping, as it is installing now.
I'm pretty happy with my battery life after the first 20 minutes. It's lasted two days so far, can't wait to see what the next 20 minutes brings!
Thank you Possum80! My strained wallet/anger management skills and stress levels thank you x x x
I owe you a virtual siri beer.
We won't know how it will really run until the final version is released. Betas are always going to be buggy and not optimized for performance.
You'll want to set it up as a new device, install DP4 OTA, and then go to "Settings > General > Reset > All Content and Settings" to get back to the initial setup process, and restore from your DP3 backup then (whether using iCloud backup or iTunes backup). You don't need to go to DP3 first, but will still need to get to DP3 or DP4 to use your previous backup.
When everyone is having the same problem there's enough reported. From my data usage i'm assuming that Apple is getting a spin dump crash report every time the home screen crashes which is about every 10 minutes or so.
Got it on a 6s+ and beta 3 was good other than battery life still having some issues (not as bad as beta 2 or 1 though)... Completely workable, just had to charge it up more often than normal.

This is beta but I fear iOS 11.0 will be in similar performance in September. Apple has the incentive to just drag old hardware down to crawl, and they have good track records on this one.
My iPhone 6s Plus is slowed af. True. For whatever reason it just does random secret **** in the background. I cannot find much info from it. It cannot even play HEVC video without frame drop.

I report issues all the time. If I don't report it, I'm worried it won't get fixed. Especially if it is application related.
On beta there was an excessive used of the gps, mostly used by
there was an excessive used of the GPS by the "Motion calibration and Distance service" so as "Compass Calibration" on the Beta3. Turning off these location services and the background app refresh helped fixing the battery issue.
Same here, except on my iPhone 6. PB2 started great at first, but then it has dissolved into almost unusable.
I use my iOS 11 iPhone and my non-beta Apple Watch Series 2 with no problems at all.
Capacity now shows as the capacity of the device, rather than the formatted size (pretty sure this is new in b4).
Here's to hoping for a PB within a couple days!
PB1 was actually pretty good, but PB2 ... man it is flaky stuff. UI lag/freezes a lot, battery time is pretty low, back light sometimes doesn't come on for a few seconds until after the device was woken up, amongst other issues.
It's a beta so I'm not upset, but still will be nice to leave those issues behind
