  Workaround: Set up the device as new, use Erase All Contents and Settings, and then try to restore from an iCloud Backup again.

I was hoping the modem firmware would be updated. The last iOS 15 beta I was having some very slow mobile speeds.

Installing on my 13PM and will post if it's a newer modem update.

Oh, I wouldn't worry about that — slow cellular/WiFi speeds are likely to be the least of your concerns if you are running the first developer beta of a new major iOS release.

Interested to see how it affects the battery health on my IP13PM

After installing previous years, I noticed a big dent on battery health percentage.

I am on the latest iOS15 beta and currently at 100% health….. preparing the iOS16 B1.

Will report back

Usually after any update a lot of things run in the background for a few days, which in turn hits the batter life. AFter it settles down, the battery is either back to what we expected or better. We shall see on this as I am installing it now on my 13 pro.

Add to top Wiki-post? It may prevent some of the upcoming battery posts..

How's battery life? How much did the installation consume? What's the consumption average in the first 30 mins of usage? Any heating issues? Is the battery health decreased??
(lol)

Reddit says WhatsApp doesn't work. And another post says it does. Gotta love Reddit.

I need WhatsApp. (Well, ok, "need" is a bit strong, but ...)

It’s the reported battery health percentage I am talking about.

phone restarted and is displaying the same percentage…. Interesting

now let’s see if all that background work you mention affects the health

 

[sbailey4]

I ma on an iPhone 13 pro. and am about to install the beta. Any issues we should be aware of?

Did you read the release notes novel? That should answer your question.

 

[cbreze]

I thought the modem would stay the same as wiki notes indicated but actually went to 2.04.00.
Hoping this helps my WiFi dropping off issue. (Iphone13)

Although swipe down to search on iPad works way better than iPhone.

I've also turned off the search for appearing on my screen
