Re: Public Beta 6 available.

Probably the app hasn't been updated for iOS 11 yet. They probably will soon.

Yes. Nationwide app works again

My battery life seems ok.

Battery life is normal on both my iPhone 7 Plus and 12.9” iPP

I just hope it fixes all the rotation problems we are having on our ipads. Sometimes landscape to portrait doesn't change. Sometimes it does but the dock is still on the side not the bottom. Seems to be getting worse with each beta. You'd think making it run well on the ipad pro 10.5 would be a priority. But, I won't get too worried until final release.

Nope. Still rotation issues and dock being in the landscape position while in portrait sometimes.

Working well on my SE. Did have an odd thing this morning where the camera view finder was black. I could still take pictures, but I couldn't see them until I took them. I restarted and it is working correctly now.

Working well on my iPhone 7 as my daily driver. The only issue I've had so far with this build is that the first couple of time I tried to launch BeWeather, I was greeted with a black screen. I simply restarted my phone and now BeWeather loads with no trouble.

Battery life has been just fine as well.

I find that my phone is charging even faster now. Which is great.

Oh wow!
It still charges slowly on my 7 Plus. I’m hoping that Apple will introduce quick charging soon

Use an iPad brick.
It charges much faster than the standard brick.

Ok. I have a question the iPad brick. I was watching a science thing on tv. They talked about how the iPad brick will charge an iPhone faster but using it often will degrade the battery quicker. Is this true? I can't find anywhere that can verify this.

I don’t know, the battery support website of Apple is quite extensive but doesn’t mention such degrading.

Here’s a write up. The real question is “Does Apple’s chip set allow excessive currents and temps ?”

Very good article. Here is another question then. If I take my phone to Australia, according to the article, I can charge it using a brick from there? No need for a converter. Because the phone control the current. Also, I was told by  that the newer batteries are 750 life cycles not 500.

Ok, thanks everyone!

Just make sure to use a brick from Australia. You’ll only need a converter if you want to use your own brick.

Because the phone control the current.

No, the brick controls what current, voltage and amperage (= wattage) goes to your iDevice. The device does not do this.
It is very important to use the brick from that continent you’re on.

Ok thanks for clarification on this!
