excited for this!

On iPhone X

 

[HQuest]

Noticed that too: 300Mb for an update - even if minor version - is pretty unusual...

 

[gwang73]

Can we agree to remove the copy/paste remaining issues from the wiki and fill out that section as issues are discovered?

 

[thatJohann]

Hoping messages in iCloud is back as well as AirPlay 2. Seems the beta was pulled.

• AirPlay - When streaming a video from the YouTube app via Airplay, audio might lag behind the video by 2-3 seconds.
• AirPlay - When streaming a video from the YouTube app to a single Apple TV, only the audio might play out of the Apple TV
• Music - In certain circumstances playback might get stuck at the end of the first track.

I agree, however those New Issues are indeed new issues... and could be deal breakers.

 

[bamf-hacker]

At this point I dont want message in the cloud back... They keep teasing us beta testers. With 11.3 and it being in ALL the betas I thought it was going to finally happen.... then POOF Apple takes it away

 

[Freakonomics101]

300.7 MB on Qualcomm iPhone X

254.2 MB on Cellular iPad Pro 10.5

Not installing on either if iCloud Messages is still missing. Still on 10.3 beta 6.

Edit: I meant 11.3 lol

New issues should be listed there, I'm just referring to the remaining issues section which is copy/pasted from previous threads. Some of them have been there for ages.

@Banglazed, thanks for cleaning up the wiki!

 

[DJLAXL]

2.19 GB from 11.3 release version on iPhone X.

 

[scjr]

Thanks for the thread, Banglazed!

 

[mfender]

2.19 GB from 11.3 release version on iPhone X.

It is over 1 GB on my Iphone 6 coming from 1.3 final.

 

[simba4]

1.98 gb from 11.3 iphone 6s!

 

[0014]

On iPhone X

2.19gb for me. But I went back to 11.3 official from beta 6 on release.

 

[furbzv1]

2.19gb for me. But I went back to 11.3 official from beta 6 on release.

I’m coming from Beta 6. I’m downloading but won’t install yet

 

[cale508]

Messages on icloud are back!

 

[atlchamp]

can confirm imessages on icloud are back but not seeing anything new about it

 

[Vashetti]

Messages on icloud are back!

To be hastily pulled before 11.5 beta 1.

 

[thatJohann]

If this is solid enough, I might pull the trigger and install on my iPhone X as well. Currently. waiting for some impressions on how it performs on the X.

Right now, just installing on my iPad Pro.

 

[furbzv1]

Messages on icloud are back!

And that was the confirmation I was waiting for

 

[Broken Hope]

Let me guess, because this is flagged as beta, Attention Aware for calls will be broken on the X?

 

[dreadlord]

Can someone test the remaining issues of iOS 11.3 and add the ones still can be reproduced on iOS 11.4?

 

[alecc131]

AirPlay 2 is back!

 

[Hans300]

Older Kernel than 11.3 has? Cant believe that.
