Didn't realize I could resize... DUH! Perfect. Thanks...I use the little icons (the 1x1 ones) and I can tap on them anywhere to toggle the lights. A longer press opens up the brightness slider (and I assume a colour balance wheel too for those who have the posher bulbs).
Got a tip for us?

That can work, it can be either a Mac running the latest version of macOS or a windows Laptop with Apple devices installed on it. Make sure to backup via iCloud or do one via Finder or iTunes before proceeding.
It is also possible that you can get your iPhone checked out and an Apple genius can restore your iPhone via a Genius Bar appointment, they have MacBooks and lots of USB-C charging stations to do that.
Yikes... battey life on DB 8 is 💩 for me. Phone was getting really hot yesterday. It's cooler today but the battery life still isn't great for me. Patiently waiting for RC on 9/9.
Thinking/thought the same. Db8 is chewing my battery up. It’s been a few days now. Came here to search anybody else.
Yep same here. Everything else seems pretty polished though.
Yeah heat and therefore battery drain is noticeable.
What’s definitely better is the idle battery drain

All cool with very good battery life on my 15 Pro Max on beta 8. Was the same on beta 7 and 6 too.
It stabilized battery life on my iPhone XR as well. Been able to use it for a few hours before having to fast charge it.
I don't know if anybody is seeing this. It's been happening at least for the last few betas on my iPhone 15 Pro Max.
Audio skips a second when screen is locked and I move my phone. It happens both with Airpods Pro 2 connected and with the audio going through the speakers.
When listening to a podcast, I may be using Apple podcasts or Overcast, it doesn't matter, if I lock my phone, when I move it, the sound will skip one second. It happens both when using AirPods and when listening to the audio through the speakers.
I already filed a feedback.

Exactly my experience. This is the first beta build that has given me very bad battery life. Hoping they fix next week.
There likely won’t be a beta 9 - RC is set to release at 9/9 after the keynote
11Pro battery wise seems to be also stabilised. Also finally iOS 18 Mail app search indexing is gone after... all these betas
For some unknown to me reason on Lock Screen sometimes AirPods Case widget is not showing it's battery level (1x1 tile) when it's on unlocked battery widgets. Setting this tile back to AirPods Case fixes it for some time. Still investigating... as for sure I had it every time after few of Betas updates.

Keyboard input lag might be limited or fixed - not faced it yet.
It's also showing when needed, which is better than before.

Likewise. I never complain about battery life, but on this beta, it's atrociously bad on my 12 Pro.
Honestly, beta 8 on my 15PM and 13 mini feels better overall than iOS 17 has.
I’m very relieved this is the case. I’ve even installed iPad OS beta 8 on an iPad mini and M1 iPad with the same results. iOS and iPadOS beta 8 both feel super.
I’d be more than happy to use these as final releases. They are on all my daily devices (as is the new macOS).
It’s a good year for the betas folks. There will always be folks with issues for whom I hope they get resolutions swiftly.

Same for me. Right after a reboot (no matter if hard reset or just regular), the CPU will be at 100% for a few minutes. I have measured that with different apps. Also it heats up like crazy (15PM). After a few minutes it will settle down, but after that it will already have chewed through 5% of battery.
No idea what it could be, I need to do some measuring with Xcode Instruments but didn't get to do that yet.
