Not experiencing any issues on my S7 with watchOS 8.7 and iPhone with this beta. Notifications and workouts are all syncing for me and no weird battery drains.

I definitely might move my 13 pro over. Glad I didn’t on the earlier betas though. Everyone seems to say it’s good so far
Battery life is fantastic if you ask me, can’t remember it being that good at all
I can literally watch mine deplete in minutes 😩
I’m sure this has already been discussed but I just updated to the latest public beta. Now when I look at my phone (13 Pro) the screen comes on. I still have to swipe up to unlock it but just looking at it will show me the lock screen. I swear previously I had to tap the screen or the side button to wake it. My iPad Pro doesn’t wake just by looking at my face.
You're sure you're not also moving the phone? My 13 Pro on the most recent beta isn't doing this.
I’ve seen this on my 13 pro max. It also takes forever for screen to sleep.
I think Apple will be changing this design before the final release to the public. At this point I think it's just to wet our whistle 😉Found this on Reddit. This is bugging me. Why is the battery percentage not aligned?
😆😂 since iOS 14, settings, after the phone had gone to sleep would then always shown up missing its preview and be a black card.
Was still present on iOS 16 b4.
Looks like they’ve fixed it. Finally. Ha.

Yeah did a few, got the IPSW downloaded and what not just can’t get the latest version of iTunes for some reason.
Your Mac instructions are the same bar one bit, hold shift instead of options so more or less the same.
Ahh ok. Good to know. Thanks buddy.
Maybe it will be released when the official iOS 16 gets released.
Also having problems with my Mac holding a Personal Hotspot connection with my IP13PM. So far it disconnects every few minutes. Tried the switch "Maximize Compatibility", no difference. Testing now, but it seems the connection is lost when the iPhone goes to sleep (screen turns off). Anyone else experiencing similar with b5?
Good eye. I was noticing that too 😋Found this on Reddit. This is bugging me. Why is the battery percentage not aligned?

Not sure if we should let Apple know. I don't want them taking it away. This is better than not having it, LOL. I can't believe it took Apple 5 years to bring it back. Who was sleeping?
Haha! I’m not reporting anything. If they don’t fix it, I’ll train my OCD brain to ignore it 🤨
Couple of hard resets and sitting around for a while hoping it would start working again didn’t fix it. Anyone else having this issue?
Bug on watchOS beta 5. 😬
I have a compilation using the stock weather app for rain %. It doesn’t update and doesn’t know my location. Even with location always on, under settings on iPhone.
See below.
Anyone else have this issue before i report it.

Bruhhhh, That's easier said than done. I'm sure Apple will fix it. Some people are saying it looks aligned when "4G" symbol is showing
