It is definitely eating more these last couple of betas.

iPad Pro 11 2020
PIP
Sometimes PIP works, sometimes it don’t.
More and more I am seeing, especially with YouTube, when using PIP the video just freezes.
Switches appear to work but don’t do anything. You have to kill the PIP then go back into the app and try again.
Usually works till next freeze.

Not one out line on the DI in the Apple Store phones. iOS 16.0.3
Pro motion though side by side with my 12, I mean 🥰😍. Love the weight actually and the screen even looks more gorgeous than the 12s. Can feel the difference of the new processor going from phone to phone doing the same task. Quick! Can’t wait.
@Bobout glad I went for the black, the purple, for me, just needs to be darker so it’s like a purple black and I’m there. But still a really nice finish.

I mean 4 I fourgot I was on a beta, so this feels finished to me. Lovely and smooth and responsive. Battery solid.
When I first opened it - it did crash but then I tried again and it stayed open.
Yes. Happened this morning. Generated an auto-feedback pop up. Those are very convenient!
I deleted the News app from iPhone but I’ve noticed the crashes on macOS Ventura beta as well. So it’s not confined to iOS alone.
-Swipe up stutter is still there in beta 5. I have seen it a few times now. Not as often as in beta 4, but its too early to say if its any better. Maybe it gets worse over time until the device is restarted.
-Battery life is definitely better vs. earlier betas.
-I wish location settings didn’t have to be turned on for the lockscreen weather widget to work.
-They need to fix the need to swipe up on notification center to see hidden notifications. I miss how iOS 15 used to display calendar events full out on the lockscreen without having to do anything. The new calendar widget is far less useful and limited (Swiping up to view the hidden notifications will keep them showing until you lock your phone. Then they return to being hidden again).
-Reminders app needs to stop defaulting to the “Today” view. I like to see all my reminders in one bunch. Unfortunately, you can’t set it to default to the “All” view.
-Messages app needs to return to having the audio message button be right next to the message box. Not sure why they replaced it to be a dictation button. There is already a dictation button the bottom right of the screen below the keyboard (at least on the more recent phones). Now theres a duplicate of them.
-Apple should add the ability to pull down on the Dynamic Island (at least when not in use) to pull down the notification center. Its annoying that you have to try to pull it down from either the left side or a small portion of the right side of the island to be able to bring it down. Or, you can also try to pull it down from the tiny gap between the top side of the phone and the top of the dynamic island (this is hit or miss but almost impossible for it to work consistently especially with a raised edge case on the phone.)

Anyone else feel that battery life is still not on par with iOS 15.6.1/15.7 and that iOS 16 even on 16.1 beta 5 still feels so broken in many areas? My iPhone 13 Pro Max with 100% battery health has easily lost 2+ hours of screen on time since iOS 16. Every beta it marginally improves but it is still not how it once was, regardless of settings etc. Full wipe and dfu restore as well with no change. Hoping things improve as I really love the new features of iOS 16 but those extra few hours of battery life outweigh all that. I may downgrade to iOS 15.7 until more polishing gets done with iOS 16.
I am getting great battery on the beta
Curious, which device are you running it on? I wouldn’t say battery is absolute trash like iOS 16.0 beta 1 style, but it is definitely not close to 15.7 levels which is rather disappointing on a brand new 13 pro max that I could squeeze 2 days of use out of prior. What’s up with apple’s software QC these days?
Possible fix to the Messages app quitting in between uses: Reset your iPhone’s network settings.
This seems to be working for me at the moment🤞🏻
The only other, more minor, bug I have now is that Siri suggestions sometimes don’t appear at the beginning of a Siri search (prior to typing a search term). Can completely live with that one though.

I have wondered the same thing. I’ve spent countless hours trying to optimize settings and have even restored/set up from scratch multiple times hoping to achieve the battery life others seem to have. So far no luck. I’m working with a year old 13 Pro that use to easily make it through a day and now struggles to make it to 5 hours screen on time. I’m out of ideas. Just hoping Apple figures out a solution to whatever combination of factors is causing this experience on my device.
Same I ALWAYS have had it on thinking it would make the best decisions based on environment (like it says). After this discussion I turned it off to try for a few days and I like it better off as well! Everything is much clearer and clean looking. No more yellowing. Who knew! Lol
I spoke to soon - message app is still quitting from RAM a while after being used and reloading fresh at the list of messages rather than showing the last message thread (where I’d last been within the app).
Can anyone help me my iPhone 14 plus just keeps continuously rebooting? Non stop nothing I can do to stop it? Should I call Apple for a replacement? Have tried everything to fix it still happening. Worried that the issue might occur with replacement. Why is this happening? Have never experienced this with any iPhone before. Phone is rebooting every 10 secs. It’s like the phone is stuck in some reboot mode. Phone was fine before I updated to the latest version. I do not understand how this can happen. If anyone can get to me with some advice on what to do would really appreciate it.
