I'm not having any big (or medium sized!) issues with the current beta on my iPhone 11.
I *am* having some issues on Tahoe, so I want a new Tahoe beta more than an iOS one. Of course, as soon as the new iOS beta comes out I'll be installing it anyway - that's the anticipation excitement of betas.

My main issue with the beta is that sometimes performance drops way below 120Hz for a period of time which is extremely noticeable.
To type out this thought and where I think we are going on the beta train:
August 4th week - beta 5
August 11th week - beta 6
August 18th week - beta 7
August 25th week - beta 8
Sept 1st week - nothing
Sept 8th week - RC after the launch event for the new iPhone
Makes sense, I'll prob wait for the RC cause I def don't want slowdown and glitches with over a month to go.
I'm home sick with COVID (I'm fine). Beta 5 today would definitely lift my spirits.
Do you have the adaptive battery performance activated? Could be a reason. If the phone (apple would say „AI“) notices that you use the phone heavier than on a regular day it might activate some performance savers.
That’s the real apple software magic
And you need to stay up to date with the 26.1 booster.
Once it's weekly, you usually see very little changes in the look and feel of the OS. Mostly just bugfixes from that point on. The next beta will be very telling for how the final build of Liquid Glass will ship.
Yes. Aesthetics and function will be locked in. Focus will be bug fixes, speed, maybe animation tweaks
Thank you! It's been no worse than a lousy cold, no fever. My workplace doesn't require us to isolate 5 days anymore, but that is crazy to me and my boss agrees. I'm staying home until Wednesday. It's a mild virus for most people now, but it hits some people really hard.
I thought it was that a few betas ago and disabled it but I still get random times when it’s way below 120Hz and choppy, it does resolve itself eventually.
Why would it?
1, 2, 3 were all Mondays. And 4 was delayed only because of 18.6 RC release.
Nothing 30 seconds after 1. See you next week!
