Anyone (in U.S.) running the beta with dual eSIM setup? If so, how is running thus far on this release (battery, app usage, and heat)?

If you don't live in the US, and didn't buy your watch in the US from the day the ban was implemented, then it works. They didn't backdate US watches prior to that date, and all international sales are not included.
Why is the keyboard different depending on which apps you’re in? The letters and keys all rounded and strange in Notes for instance, but not in other areas of iOS?

Can you attach a screenshot? I’m not seeing any difference - examples below showing Notes, Safari and Messages.

They are still showing in my control centreDid Apple kill the Hidden Ambient Music Playlists in Public Beta 3?
iOS 18.4: Access Hidden Ambient Music Playlists
In Apple's iOS 18.4 software update, there's a new Ambient Music feature available in the Control Center options on iPhone. It's free to use, and does not require an Apple Music subscription. It's also more customizable than most users probably realize. Keep reading to learn how. There are four...www.macrumors.com

Try any of third-party apps, you will see pre-iOS 26 keyboard.

Well of course, those apps haven’t been updated for iOS 26 as we are in beta. That’s normal and has been the case with prior iOS releases when keyboard changes have been made.

this is so weird. I tried to move the assistivetouch to the top of my screen and for some reason it won't like it hit a wall 😂

maybe the third-party app uses a wrong api call for the keyboard?

I suppose the keyboard has a new calling parameter so apps can choose to use the new or the older one but is not available until they’re allowed to send updates with the new Xcode version.

Joking aside, I see there's no ipsw file for the beta 6 relaunch. I was thinking of installing it over the top to see if these reboots that have been occurring since I installed it stop. I also missed the notification that the Apple Watch is fully charged. This relaunch has definitely been bad for my iPhone haha

Jumped into the beta at this point to have a look. Liquid Glass is both amazing in some places and a readability nightmare in others. I really hope they fix the situations where it's not working well before release, cannot believe they think this is good enough. I'm referring mainly to text over backgrounds like notifications on Home Screen, the hovering text in messages, etc.
