I cannot reproduce this bug on 2 different phones. This is some sort of edge case.
Yes I see. I still cannot reproduce this on 2 different beta 8 installs. I can’t reproduce it on a 15 Pro Max and the bug is not there on my 13 mini either.
An edge case means it may be there for some ‘edge’ cases - you seem to be in that category.
I hope the bug gets resolved soon for you.
I dont get the Pa error either, but if you report it on FBA and ensure you include your sysdiagnose they may find a weakness.
I've got a 14 Pro Max and can't reproduce this issue.
Running great here. No real issues for me.
The "pages" you are referring to I assume is the settings page and that is part of the OS and cannot be removed. Just toggle off betas and you are done. Just stop participating. The dev acct is free to sign up for. No need to pay unless you are developing apps.
My 14 Pro doesn't exhibit this behavior.
Not bad y’all the battery life is fine.
Of course, sometimes it is slow as well!
Lock Screen 1x1 Battery Widget sometimes loses info about AirPods Case battery level when simultaneously it’s reporting value in Home / Widgets Page battery widget.
Force setting it to show Case battery on Lock Screen fixes it temporary, weird as this issue came recently was not present in Beta1-5
(there was issue at Beta1-3 as far as I remember which is fixed, not allowing to set which device battery level to show in any battery widget)

as it happened 3 times already :/

Hey, I know many of you will be surprised to see me in this thread, but… I’m testing iPadOS 18 public beta 6! (Same as dev beta 8). Of course, I won’t complain about poor battery life or performance because I KNOW what a beta software is. I’ve been a beta tester in the years of Lion and Mountain Lion.
However… wow! This works really well for a beta! My iPad Pro has similar battery life, sometimes it gets a bit hotter but nothing to worry about. And performance is quite good! Obviously there are some bugs here or there, but I also noticed some improvements in other areas, such as viewing big PDF files. Yeah, it still crashes if you scroll too fast (reported it using the feedback app), but less than on iOS 16 and 17.
And maybe it’s placebo effect but I feel like on iPadOS 18 I’m experiencing a bit less eye strain than on iOS 17.
I still prefer the older Control Center, aesthetically I mean. The round buttons are a bit strange and I would prefer them with the old rounded square shape. But it’s not the end of the world, and I like the wider possibilities it opens.
The iPadOS tab bar that replaces the lateral menu feels a bit unfinished. I haven’t found a way to customize it, like on the Files App for instance. And there’s no tab bar on Photos App, so it is quite inconsistent. And the dark mode icons still feel strange, although making them bigger without labels is pretty cool.
Overall, this is the first time I’m decided to update all my devices to the new system, at least during the first months. Not necessarily to 18.0, but rather to 18.0.1 or 18.0.2 There are many little things I’m liking.

iPhone 15 Plus running the latest public beta of iOS 18. I’ve had this message in battery settings for four days now. My battery life hasn’t been great since this latest beta release and I’m wondering if this is why. I’ve restarted the phone today and it’s still there. Is this happen to anyone else? Anyone have any ideas?
Thank you!
Thank you!

Then the RC has to come this week, so that the p public release happens on 09 September.
Public release never happens during an event. It will be RC after the event, then public release a week after
My iPhone 15 does not crash with “Pa”.
Yes, this is a new iOS 18 trick, nothing to worry about, it will disappear by itself once everything is done.
Does iOS filter spam? AFAIK that’s the task of the Mail account provider (Microsoft, google, etc)
On a side note, there have been cases where Apple released the public release after the keynote (a few years ago), which caused outcry in the developer community cause the devs couldn‘t get their apps ready and approved in time.
