iOS 12 Beta 5 ― Bug Fixes, Changes, and Improvements

[Superhappytree]

Transparency in control centre seems to be a bit "darker" comparing it to Beta 4.

Yeah I noticed this immediately. Thank god! The icons are so much clearer now, they were so “murky” and hard to see before because of the background.

Also my wallpaper and screen in general does not seem washed out like it did in Beta 3 & 4. iPhone X

Can someone tell me how’s been performance in this new beta? I don’t know if install it or not

Nobody can tell from several minutes of usage.

 

[Superhappytree]

Scrolling between your open apps in the app switcher is more “stiff”, now feels more slower.

it's about a 5/7

It’s been less than an hour since it came out .. gotta give a few hours at least for a preliminary report

I am able to replicate this, but this is the case:

Start downloading when on WiFi. Switch WiFi off and you can continue on cellular.

You still cannot initiate a download from cellular.

Maybe by final release, or perhaps laying some groundwork for iOS 13. 😛

I don’t know if this is a bug or not, but I’m getting a new haptic feedback when swiping up on the home screen when no apps are in the app switcher. iPhone X

The haptic feedback is definitely different. I used to get a few sharp bursts when i'd try to open it with no recent apps, now the haptic feedback and the animation is slower.

I just noticed this as well. Haptics seem the same everywhere else though so I’m guessing it’s intended. We’ll see come final release!

This is also a neat trick to download apps over 150mb too from App Store even if you have didn't toggle on use cellular data

The Face ID unlock animation is missing the face icon.

Anyone on T-Mobile experiencing the dropped calls issue referenced in the release notes? That’s a show stopper for me to upgrade from iOS 11.

 

[illyb2000]

So if I have automatic updates on the public beta tomorrow should automatically update ?

I hope this beta solves the battery drain I had on B4.

So far the phone seems a lot snappier, certainly in the settings app.

 

[sbailey4]

So it looks like Software Updates are finally available OTA thru cellular. I just started mine on WiFi and was going really slow, so I switched to cellular and it just kept downloading. Can anyone else try? Is it just a bug?

I believe its because you started it while on wifi. If you try to start on cellular, most likely it will complain. (seems its been that way for a while now)

How is iOS 12 beta battery life compared to iOS 11.4.1 battery life? Anybody knows?

I dont think this has been this way earlier.
Earlier you couldnt continue on cellular after wifi.

It’s been good, but for gosh sakes the update came out like an hour ago, so there’s no way to tell what the current version does.

Weird thing: My battery health percentage has jumped from previous 98% back to 100% on Beta 5. Seems to me, some major changes happened to that function.

P.S. iPhone X

Mine went down 2% to 90%.. Seems like steep degradation for having bought the phone less than a year ago (X on launch).

You aren’t using your phone right. 🙂 My year old X is at 100%.

Could it be a battery issue? I've always used coconut battery prior to Apple battery health and I've never seen my iphones fall below 98% after having them for a year. I wonder if I could get it replaced under warranty.

Slight change to release date info on pre-order albums in Music:

Now says “Upcoming Album” rather than “Pre-Release”.

Same, my X, got on launch day, is still at 100% battery health on this beta

Could be, but i doubt apple will replace it if it’s still at 90%.
