That has to be a bug because normally it only vibrates shortly when the person you’re calling takes the call and it vibrates shortly when the person ends the call

My iPhone keeps coming back on after turning off with the side button. I turn it off, then 3 seconds later it comes back on. A friend says his is doing the same.
You're turning it off by holding two buttons, letting go once the options appear, then swiping off? Is it the same if you use the new-ish power button top-right of the control centre?
I've just tested, and it's fine here (iPhone 11).
Your observation is semi-correct. It probably has not dropped a few percentages due to having a beta installed, chances are you were already down to 9x% before but the way iOS shows / estimates / calibrates battery health, you kept seeing 100%. It‘s not an instant estimation, it takes time to kick into effect and only calibrates during special events like iOS updates or when you drain and fully charge.I really wish people would stop with the “doNt InStAlL oN yOuR pRiMaRy DeViCe” posts. I have had the 16 Pro Max, I fully understand it’s not going to be at 100% forever, nor do I care. I was simply making an observation that in the month I’ve been on beta, the health has dropped. Thanks
There is virtually no way that any battery is at factory conditions a year in, it‘s just how these batteries work (organic material that degrades with every single charge and exponentially degrades with heat like a hot to touch phone or using it in direct sunlight on a sunny beach day).
I just wish Apple would get rid of that percentage and replace it with a "good" label, like they have on macOS (but without a way to drill down and see actual percentage, cause it‘s a ****** estimate that can dramatically jump down or even go up depending on conditions).
If they are using something like React Native as their stack, there are already a dozen packages out there that try to recreate Liquid Glass elements.
is Call Screening (requiring the calling to provide some info) working for anyone? Got the option enabled but nothing happened, unsaved calls still just storm in ringing.
I'm talking about just putting it to sleep, not turning it completely off. It kind of behaves like when you have Raise to Wake enabled. It wakes for no reason. I push the side button and it goes off. I set it down. Then in about 3 seconds it wakes for no apparent reason.
Call screening works very well for me for unsaved contacts
In related Phone features, Wait on Hold didn't work reliably in beta 1/2, and now works, but feels kinda clumsy in how it's implemented
Be cautious not to rely solely on Pinned contacts for quick texting access. Once in beta 1, and just recently in beta 3, my actions caused my pinned selections to reset
Just here to whine about the shadows at the top and bottom again. Is this some kind of trick to get me to buy an even bigger phone or something?
This is on purpose, I guess Apple want us to move away from strictly defined lines and borders, that is why they started using split control bubbles, etc.
It makes sense if we think about how we perceive the world, where objects also “float” into our focus. It might take us a while to get used to, though. 😉
Sure, and that's fine and dandy, but why does the "shadow" have to extend so far past the dynamic island and status area?
It helps to emphasise the LG controls, which is especially visible at the bottom of Safari with the new “Compact” bar. Without the shadow it would just blend in with the contents. If you scroll slowly, paying attention, you will notice that the “shadow” is actually a straight line for the area below with more opacity to make the background for the LG elements.
As for “why so far”, they might still tweak it through the betas and beyond.
Would guess so. It’s way too early to worry about. We’re still in an early beta process. Hope that it will be fine in the end.
Why would they walk back a month of working on fixing the legibility just to upset more people?
Not sure, as after Apple abandoned their beta profiles, I wonder how many people actually wait for public betas and why, as public betas are identical to “delayed” developer betas. I mean, people might as well wait for a few days after a new DB comes out and, if there are no show-stoppers, go ahead and install it. So, as far as I see it, public betas make very little sense, if any.
Hoping this is true, but I noticed on my iPad which has beta 3 I seem to be getting e-mail notifications faster using iOS mail and GMail. Am I imagining this or did Apple get push notifications (or semi push) working for GMail? My iPhone with 18.6 beta doesn't seem to be acting the same. Hoping they did......
So you are merely locking the screen… yeah… some notifications will turn the screen back on… that’s not “turning it off”
I never realized how poorly my AWU2 was performing until I wiped it and set it up fresh this morning.. (no backup restore)
It would probably have been better off if you could push an IPSW to it for the updates..

Out of curiosity, does everyone's Spotlight search and display Files, despite it having been turned off in Settings?
I would say it’s because the developer betas are only meant for people to install on developer phones used to make apps with the new APIs. Of course that’s not the case. But if it was done properly, and since DBs are usually the same build as PBs, if something that completely bricks their device happens on a new developer beta, the delay allows them to fix it before the public beta releases.
Just don’t understand (or appreciate) the purpose of blurring/frosting the top and bottom of the screen… leaving it clear would be much better.
If the top bit of Safari (or other apps) was clear, we would struggle to see the time in the top-left corner and battery/network bits on the right, as it would all get mixed up with the contents. So blurring adds to the contrast of those elements.
I never said anything about notifications. I know how they work. There are no notifications when this happens. I can push the button and as soon as it goes off, one second later it comes back on. This happens a lot. My friend also sees this behavior on his iPhone. Next update likely fixes it.
But that doesn't explain why the shadow extends so far below those elements. I understand why there's a shadow - what I don't understand is why so much of it.
