iOS 11 Beta 3 as daily driver?

[JunkieJeff]

Hi guys,

what can you tell me about iOS 11 B3 for using this Version as daily driver?

Battery?
iPhone heating?

Thanks

I've been using every beta as a daily driver and this is the best so far but I still think the battery is a bit flakey, not getting hot like on beta 2 though.

From less than 24 hours usage?

Performance and battery worse than Beta 2 on my new iPads.

Put it this way I'm down to 20% after taking phone off charge at 08:30, that's flakey to me.

Battery might be suspect, as was each of the previous betas so I personally wouldn't call it "worse", but it definitely seems...

wait for it...

snappier.

Battery is the biggest issue for me. The rest I can work with. I bombed Springboard once this morning, but that has been about it. Everything else is running ok and yeah, it's a bit snappier. Just make sure you have access to charging if you are a moderate to heavy user.

Battery is probably the same for me, right now I'm on 57% with 3 hours 8 minutes usage with 6 hours 18 mins standby. My main issue is that the phone continues to heat up A LOT so I'm having to use a case with the phone. For me i haven't found any bugs that would annoy me a lot. Apart from the heat and slight battery issue, everythings fine

Beta 3 been an improvement for all my apps so Manga Rock and my Amazon video downloads werent working on beta 2 but now they're working and the volume on my Airpods have improved although not quite iOS 10 levels.

I can say the phone heats up less often now.

Battery seems better but still not iOS 10 levels. I wonder if updating to beta 3 if anything is going on in the background that I'm not taking into consideration cause if so then the battery is surely an improvement over beta 2.

I can recommend beta 3 as a daily driver but couldnt recommend the previous 2 builds.

running on an iPhone 6S.

I can also recommend beta 3 on iPhone 6s as a daily driver. Much improved over beta 2. No resprings yet. Seems a lot smoother. Also running WatchOS 4 beta 2.

 

[DNichter]

Much improved from beta 2. Definitely stable enough for a daily driver.

 

[Statusnone88]

Much improved on my iPhone 7 and my iPad Pro 10.5.

Especially on the phone. Much, much smoother.

How is it on the iPhone 7 Plus ?

 

[nburwell]

Been using the PB on my 7 since it was originally made available and in my experience, there are the usual bugs but nothing that really hinders me from using the device on a daily basis.

Pretty good, haven’t had many issues apart from heating. Battery is meh... on 18% with 5 hours 45 mins usage and 10 hours standby

 

[chowmein]

Been experiencing very frequent Wifi dropouts on my 7+, even after clean restore to beta 3 image. Not sure if this is just an isolated thing, but definitely downgrading to iOS 10 for now, at least until next beta.

It's great on the normal 7 though!

Ok, i think that I will wait the next beta before upgrade

 

[sniffies]

Yep, I can confirm this too: battery is worse than beta 1 and 2. Fell asleep with battery at 50% (low-power mode), woke up to a dead phone

 

[Yun0]

the battery is just as bad as beta 2, but with less heat.. however that works..
