Supper slow on my 16PM. Let’s see in a few hours.
The UI has been tweaked a bit, as others have already mentioned. Curious about the macOS.

they took away time until 80% charge from lock screen
The Liquid Glass animations are way toned down with more linear animations and fades instead of the droplet animations in most cases. Transparency is also less than before. If they do even more, they can remove the Liquid Glass name entirely as we're back to iOS 18, lol.
Hmmm…I suppose this is a pretty decent compromise!
I’ve been holding out on the beta, and will wait to see what beta 3 brings over the next day or so before jumping in but if that’s indeed the direction they are going, it seems like a smart way to appeal to as many people as possible.
It’s still there. It shows up when you wake the device.
Beta 3 is stuttering as hell on iPhone 13 Pro Max.
It is nearly unuseable.
Im going back to iOS18.

For me the Liquid Glass also looks way more milky. It’s better to read but they more and more move away from their intended idea.
I hope you're joking. Just because your phone rebooted does not mean it is done installing. It's still working in the background and will be for a couple hours.
Give it a while to settle. It makes to sense to judge about this update only a few minutes after installing.
As a member of this forum you really should now this. Let the phone rest a bit and then check it again.
It's a large update. Have to give it a day to re-index and settle.
I noticed on iPhone 15 that the keyboard is again using full width, before it had like shine borders on the sides.
The hidden folder thing happened to me on beta 2... went away with one reboot
First impressions on beta 3
The UI seems more polished
The issues i noticed on beta 2 with lockscreen widgets seem addressed
The app icons seem to have also been tweaked (more darker and vivid)
On iPad there’s a lovely bug with the keyboard that cuts the top of the enter key. (Image attached)
These are my first impressions, I’ll post anything else I notice.

let it index... if you're on a third beta you should know this at this point
Mine (B3) on a 16PM was like 1.5GB so who knows. I did start with B1 (which was a disaster)
The only decent bit of Liquid Glass that I can see is when you pull down the notification screen slowly.
The rest is more frosted glass. We need a ‘liquid slider’ option.

They have toned it all down to be more Apple Vision Pro "frosted glass" which I prefer because you can't really read anything on a clear pane of glass.
