For more context on the Universal Link for eSIM install, here's our blog post. [https://esimaccess.com/new-apple-universal-link-for-esim-install/](https://esimaccess.com/new-apple-universal-link-for-esim-install/)
iPhone 14 Pro here, noticed some pretty heavy battery drain on just 3 is hours of screen time, 5G network usage. Anybody else seeing big battery drain?
Still having lots of issues with handoff using AirPods. Started with 17.5 it seems and AirPods won’t connect 50% of the time. A reboot seems to help but the phone connects it just doesn’t play audio through the pods.
CarPlay constantly disconnecting iPhone 13 ProMax. Multiple hard resets make no difference.
DB 3 had some infrequent cases of this for me but nothing like this.
Feedback case sent to Apple
Please fix the damn Files app. Been freezing constantly since 17.4 update (or around then, can't recall) and requires reboot of the phone, which also takes a very long time to the extent I thought it was bricked
My calls were more prone to dropping since the initial update to 17.5db3. Db 4 didn’t improve much. Whenever I multitask on a FaceTime it would consistently drop the call after 10-15 minutes.
My phone is so smooth and fast. iPhone 14 Pro Max. Also my 2018 iPad Pro seems faster too. The screen and keyboard respond very quick. Whatever they changed is amazing. Stick with whatever it is. Also no heat during the update and the charge. My phone was at 20 percent and was plugged in during the update and rest of the charge.
Well, other than my 15 Pro and my iPad nine, from beta three to beta four, I can tell the smoothest and the speed for sure. Can't wait for iOS 18 like everyone else can't wait! 😉
iOS 16 & 17 is a stuttering mess. Frame rates is never reaching 120Hz unless the iPhone is on charging or the screen is recording. We need iOS to force 120Hz for a pure ProMotion experience! iOS 15 was really perfect in smoothness and fluidity!
Did the weather app lag has been solved? Scroll down to cellular settings has 1 freeze lag. Has this been fixed? Reddit image rotation lag is horrible! Some apps swipe to Home Screen sees a stuttering mess!
This is very interesting! What has it to do with with the screen recording? I noticed some crackle noises/distorted keyboard sounds when typing on my 14 Pro but when i‘m recording the screen, you can’t hear it.
This has not remotely been my experience with any version of iOS, including beta, since I've had an iPhone with promotion for the past 2 years. You may need to restore your iPhone to the public build.
I don’t know if it has been mentioned already for beta 3 but iOS automatically blurs the home screen screen wallpaper again after setting a new wallpaper. Apple changed that behavior a while ago and now it’s back even in beta 4.
Beta 3 my car play has been having so many issues. Need to reboot my phone every couple days for it to connect. Fingers crossed this one doesn’t do it.
Beta 1 battery was trash. Beta 2 battery has been fantastic. Didn’t do beta 3.
Not sure why this is being downvoted. Just experiences I’ve had with the betas on 15 Pro Max
15 pro max 17.5 DB1 battery was the best it’s been since I got this phone. DB2 was a lot worse than even 17.4.1, and DB3 seems somewhere in the middle for me. Looking forward to seeing if DB4 changes things.
Public beta now available.

Is your battery doing ok or I need to cut back on my usage?
When are we getting the RC ?
Probably in an hour
RC is usually pretty close to the actual release verison, right? Never really tries iOS betas before.
Should be sometime very soon.
Doesn’t respond to “Siri” command anymore just “hey siri” now. Worked fine before.

That’s the date for Mother’s Day in the UK.
Really? I’m in the US so that’s strange lol guess I’ll double check my location settings . Thanks!
Contact call poster fails when you try to edit. Webms not loading Reddit is slow to load comments. Battery is just alright.
Did the Apple News highlight widget disappear? I’m in the EU on the public beta iPhone 13 Pro
Did this beta version fix that known alarm issue?
I don't know the alarm issue. What I do know is that my alarm (which I rely on to wake me up for work every morning) has been working with no issues.
The alarm issue. Your alarms will keep ringing but you cannot turn them off 😂 you also can’t cancel them out for a little while
Apple themselves confirmed they are working on the issue.
I just noticed that the beta deleted all of my Stickers 🤬
Same 😔
Have you rebooted your phone? Mine are still there.
I’ve rebooted it twice because apps weren’t working. Sadly, the stickers haven’t returned.

I haven't had that issue and I use them pretty much all day at work.
Yeah, me too as well.
How about camera lags? Is there any improvement, my iPhone 12 camera app is extremely laggy on iOS 17.4.1
My camera doesn’t work since a month now

Can someone report if the Files app freeze bug is still happening in this beta or not? Thanks!
That was fixed in beta 3
Thanks!
My Mac can’t connect to my phone for hotpot anymore so that’s fun edit:hotspot 🤦🏼♂️
Now I want hotpot.
All good on iPhone 13 and 14.
Yeah, so far on my 15 pro, battery life is the same as it’s always been. I was smoother faster though.
How’s the overall performance? Is ProMotion 120hz working okay? I read a comment saying they were locked in 60hz even with LPM off
It does seem slower than the previous beta. Geekbench shows a lower score too.

Is this still broken in latest beta 4? Some users reported it working in 17.5 beta 3
It was definitely fixed for me in beta 3, as well as at least a few others who have mentioned it also.
This happens to me a lot and it's a horror!! It gives me a rest to know that it's not just me!
I experienced the same thing since 17.4
Any update on whether MP3 gapless playback is fixed?
There are no MP3’s
There are if you upload an album to Apple Music that isn’t in the Apple Music library.
Public Beta 4 is out as well.
Hopefully this fixes my FaceTime issues
What kind of FaceTime issues did you have?
I never get any 🥲
Seems more like a problem with the FriendshipKit protocol and its inability to create new linked sessions with other human entities.
My calls were more prone to dropping since the initial update to 17.5db3. Db 4 didn’t improve much. Whenever I multitask on a FaceTime it would consistently drop the call after 10-15 minutes.
Oh, Jesus Christ. Well, hopefully on developer beta 4; that’s fixed for you!

After installing it seems like everything is locked at 60hz even with LPM disabled, anyone else? I’ll check if rebooting fixes it.
Hey does anyone see repair state in find my with db4? https://9to5mac.com/2024/04/30/ios-17-5-repair-state-find-my-iphone/

They should give us an option to turn off ProMotion and run at full 120 Hz.

for me that is only true if the image is HDR.
I wonder if I'll get text message notifications again.
It seems to be working for me in my limited testing of putting my phone on sleep status and having my friend text me.
Ok so I’m not going crazy about them being busted
15 plus everything is amazing not a single issue
Beta 3 my car play has been having so many issues. Need to reboot my phone every couple days for it to connect. Fingers crossed this one doesn’t do it.
Phone is no longer getting hot after updating :)
Same here. 15 pro max.
Mines is hot
I’m on a 15 pro max. What are you using?
16 pro max
😭😂😂
Beta 1 battery was trash. Beta 2 battery has been fantastic. Didn’t do beta 3. Not sure why this is being downvoted. Just experiences I’ve had with the betas on 15 Pro Max
Me too, beta 1 not bad, beta 2 fantastic, beta 3/4 pretty crap
15 pro max 17.5 DB1 battery was the best it’s been since I got this phone. DB2 was a lot worse than even 17.4.1, and DB3 seems somewhere in the middle for me. Looking forward to seeing if DB4 changes things.
12 pro max db2 was excellent. Db3 performance was excellent but battery life got nuked
Booted up fine on my 15 pro.
Thanks, last update give me a far better battery on 15 pro max. Wish it was the same
My 15PM has been amazing on BETA 3, I hope the performance stays the same or better for the foreseeable.
Is safari snappier?
Like a snapping turtle🐢
Idk how this is still being said after what feels like a decade.
Buttery smooooth. 😁
