I'm getting really bad keyboard lag in safari when typing in URL/search box.. has not happened with any previous beta.
 
So this is interesting, I leased a 2019 Chevy Equinox. On the beta, I can't use Apple Car Play. I installed the beta and now the radio says plug in a compatible phone when I attempt to access car play.

My 2019 Colorado is fine with the beta. It acted funky once, but cleared up with the next release.

No issues on my Pioneer head unit
 
Hi Ram, you still have the issues with the AW? thanks!

Yep it’s still a issue. Bluetooth in general is weaker on the XS Max vs older devices. I’ve ordered the new AW and it comes Wednesday. So let’s see what happens with it.

I'm sure you've probably already done so, but have you hard reset? what you experience happens to me on verizon once every couple days and it'll fix it. when I experience the issue, if i don't hard reset, i go without service for more than 10 minutes because the phone won't auto connect at all, and if/when it does, no LTE only 3G.

I mean I did a reset 3 weeks ago. So not up to doing another one. So far it’s preforming much better regardless. It’s not perfect and it does get stuck now and then. But nothing extremely long. It’s manageable for me now.

My main issue now is the radio randomly crashing once during the day. Like I was outside and it randomly lost signal and took a few seconds to regain it. I’ve noticed this since the betas started.

So far this beta has been stable and fast. Battery life is improved as well. I find I’m using my phone more cause it just “feels” more fun to use lol. Notifications bugs are all fixed for me. No more frame drops, no more notifications reappearing when you clear a stack. And so on.

Good beta. My only issue is the cell radio dropping out randomly during the day and weak WiFi reception and Bluetooth. Both of which seems like it’s where it might stay. Their work able but I just can’t go to the next room and leave my phone on my bed and expect my Apple Watch to stay connected no more. Like wise my airpods connection is a little weaker. These all seem related to the XS itself.
 
Running on IPP 12.9 G2
So far no real changes noticed over b3 except for:

1. video apps (Netflix, Spectrum TV, YouTube). On opening into a video that was playing when app was closed, the screen will be stuck in video loading - usually the spinner or black screen.

2. some games take longer to load or always reloading instead of kicking in from the task manager (Heckfire, FFIX). Seeing the same from Blink.

Did not see anything in the notes that would lead back to this.
 
12.1.3 Beta 4 drain the battery on my iPhone 7 Plus fast. Hope the next beta / final version is better. Cross the fingers.
 
Has anyone experienced their XS or XS Max not waking up out of sleep mode right away or getting stuck?

Just had this happen. Plugged the phone into charge. I was doing something on it and had to do something, then it locked and I couldn’t wake it up by pressing power button or raise to wake. Then all of a sudden it was fine?

It was probably in REM sleep...... :)
 
Anyone notice the radio randomly crashing?

I also notice when I press the crown and side button at the same for a few times the radio also crashes.

Yep it’s happening with the new AW as well. It’s very annoying for me because if I didn’t have WiFi at home Siri wouldn’t work, I wouldn’t get notifications of calls and such when I leave my phone somewhere. It’s also a battery drainer on the watch. What’s even more annoying is when I try to answer calls on the watch it tends to say “call fail.”

yes the same Sh****, since when you start to face this issue after wich ios version? you have airpods? could you do a test, open the lid and see if the animation shows in the phone with a distance of 7 inch between iphone and the airpods case, because in my case only appares when i almost touch the airpods case with the phone, on the right side of the phone.
I think this particular issues is a hardware issue :
