I had to remove my car from the car play settings and add it back in. Car play is working fine now.
You are seriously so obsessed about this, it's not healthy. Your iPhone is totally fine. You are seeing perfectly normal behavior. If it bothers you, just switch to dark mode.
Nope, it's still on. Wrist detection has been working fine on this watch since I got it in 2023, and it's working fine now after a restart. I've never had it stay unlocked like this before.
Thanks dude! I have a little bit worrying symptoms 🤝 because it’s my first iPhone. Wish you all the best!
Do those weird bright lines show up when actually using the device or is that just the camera capturing PWM banding? If visible with the naked eye I’d say, no, it isn’t normal
Only when the microphone is on, that is the dot lights up in the dynamic island, or when I exit the camera and the green dot is still on, or when I turn on the flashlight, or when a notification that 20% is left, my screen a little bit glowing. I shouldn’t worry? Can you test on your phone?
For example at the video:the green dot lights up because I swipe to the camera and my screen a little bit glowing. Or the second video I turn on flashlight and the screen a little bit glowing. Sorry for the bad English
The lines aren't appearing, which is the camera capturing PWM. When I scroll through Instagram, you can see it brightens up a bit in the video, even though the photo or video isn't HDR.
I shouldn’t worry?🥺🥺🥺

There's a lot of touch sensitivity issues with the standard ("old") keyboard too.
Bro, people were saying that from 26 beta 1, and next to nothing has been fixed even in the public version. Apple, a trillion $ company is so broke they can only afford to 2 devs now, and no QC testers. It's becoming more apparent.
Do you honestly believe 2 devs can build and secure such a sophisticated OS for dozens of models and millions of active devices?
I agree with you that QA has gone downhill in the recent years, and it'd benefit us in the long run if they focused more on that instead of some of their recent questionable choices with the design. But outright dismissing the progress since the first beta is nonsensical. Things have improved considerably since beta 1 and this one in particular has been impressive on my old 13P.
anyone having problem with Calendar? I can't move events to a different day using drag and drop
First full day with this beta 3 and I think the battery life is even worse than the first beta. It worked so well in beta 2, but they've ruined it in this beta 3. Same usage and conditions; I'd end the day with 40 or 50% battery used in beta 2. Today I ended with 68% used—the drain is insane. And I updated using the IPSW file; I hope it improves in the coming days.
What surprises me most is that this beta 3 hasn't fixed any of the visual bugs I had in beta 2. All it's done is add one more jaja

I have a 2017 car that does not have Carplay (wish it did, but don't need a new car). I plug my phone into the USB for full-definition audio. The iPod interface (what those cars used before Carplay) was hokey starting in iOS 18, and still hokey in iOS 26, but 26.2b3 has broken it completely. Since b3 (yesterday) when I plug in, it says the iPod interface failed to authenticate.
So it's broken (FB reported), but I'm hopeful. Starting with iOS 18, often when I plug in it starts playing in alphabetical the "All Songs" order of the library (Library -> Songs and Sort by Title and that's what it plays). You can even be listening to something actively and when the car starts, it starts playing that order, interrupting podcasts, Music or anything currently playing. Prior to iOS 18 it worked flawlessly. I'm hopeful that now that it's broken, it means they are addressing the bugs I've been reporting for 2 years. I will not, however hold my breath.

Holy peppered steak slices!
B3 is eating my baddery! It dropped to 75% in 12 hours with only 1 hour on screen time on my 16PM. This is the first beta that's done this. Anyone else seeing more than average baddery drop? MY 16 PM is usually excellent with baddery life - no matter what you throw at it!
