It's working great on my iPhone 5, but YMMV. I installed it on a friend's 4S who is looking to develop w me, and he is saying today that it won't play any music or podcasts, which is a bug I haven't heard of on these forums. I'm going to take a look at it, as he's not as familiar with these betas. But it sounds like the 4S may have some major issues that aren't showing up on the 5.
 
The only stability issues I had were related to iMessages not activating properly causing the messages app to freeze, take a long time to react etc.

installing Beta 2 fresh as a new phone fixed that problem. Beyond that I haven't run into any stability issues. I'm just now gauging battery life.
 
It was more stable on beta 1 on my iphone 4s in my opinion.

Keeps randomly restarting more, and crashing on camera apps. :(
Can't wait for public release though for final version will be great after crashes & restarts stop happening.
 
On my iPhone 5 none of my 3rd party apps have crashed or froze, but i do have a very rare hiccup in the stock apps, but so far only one forced reboot.
 
I really recommend everyone do a REST ALL SETTINGS to get rid of niggly bits left in the registry after updating to beta 2. I was having no luck playing music with the controls on both control center and homescreen and after a reset its working now. my 2cents
 
Beta 2 is more stable for me. Random reboots are gone. A few bugs still remain but nothing like beta 1. I've noticed the time on the lock screen sometimes sits in the middle of the screen instead of the top. Also had a app crash that blackend out the wallpaper. Lock and unlock fixed that. But it's getting better. Podcasts now work for me.
 
Pretty stable on my iPad mini. At least more stable than beta 1 was on my iPhone 5. I'm still waiting for more feedback before I fecide to load it on my iPhone.
 
Much more stable than Beta 1... My iPhone 4 was so laggy... :) If it gets even more stable, I will be very impressed... Its nearly as stable as iOS 6 was... For me anyway!
