Hi dan9700, could you give me a few more details please? I'm also in the UK on EE.
How do you find it better? In what ways? Thanks.
ok so with ee 33.0 even with 12.0.1 I had call drops and lte issues, with this beta lte signal is stronger but ill need another day to test calls, ill update here, now its EE 34.0
I noticed on iOS 12 release, that indoors in a shop and other areas, my 4G signal was worse, even dropping to 3G, when with my 6S Plus I never noticed that before on iOS 12.
So I was kinda thinking it was worse for 4G. I've not had any call drops yet but that means nothing really as I actually don't make a lot of calls anyway.
Thanks! Appreciate the info.
So those that say it’s bluer now, can someone try a before and after picture with same settings before the update to beta 3?
I've been having the same issue with my iPhone XS since 12.1 beta 2. iPhone stays connected on wifi calling but my iPad and MacBook do not show option for upgrading to wifi calling. I've tried resetting the network settings and also restoring the phone from iCloud. Nothing helps.
Screen much less warm since updating to 12.1 beta 3 on my XS Max. I see a few others have had similar results. Are we insane? Or did Apple address the issue in this beta?
Chiming in on the firmware front... iPhone XS on AT&T:
Modem: 1.01.27 (from 1.01.20-1)
Carrier: AT&T 34 (from AT&T 33.5.3)
My LTE speed tanked, unfortunately. 26 Mbps down on beta 2 and averaging about 7 Mbps down with beta 3.
I don't use TrueTone and I'm also experiencing a lot more cyan than before, so I don't think anybody is insane! Or I'm also insane. I guess either way works.

1) Definitely bluer (with TrueTone). It looks good, I had felt that the Xs was a bit warm compared to my previous X.
2) This update made my LTE signal indoors at home go from "no service" (sometimes 1 bar) to always 1 bar occasionally 2. This is a big improvement. Will take a day or two to report on call quality in my fringe area. I am on T-Mobile US.

can you see the cell ID on field test mode at least? LTE>Serving cell info on 12.0.1 shows Title and subtitle, which are placeholders.
Yes, I could see:
- LTE>NAS/RRC State/Serving Cell Info/Serving Cell Meas/Tx Power/C-DRC/LTE Neighbor Cell Meas

There is WiFi Networking and Bluetooth in System Services under Location Services setting
Beta 3 made my LTE worse. On beta 2 I was able to make calls and surf the web on LTE, after updating to beta 3, now it states “no service”, or 1 bar and useless. Sent my feedback to Apple. Hope they fix this. I’m on iPhone 6s Plus.
I noticed the Apple Pay website has been updated.

First screenshot is now "German" and some additional content.

People are poor at remembering how things look and sound.
Like I’ve said, each screen is calibrated individually, Apple aren’t going to adjust screen calibration in a software update indiscriminately.
Y'all beta people need to report the bug with the ear piece and music that happens and needs a restart to fix.
