iOS 11 Dev Beta 3 is now Available

Yeah I don’t know what the issue was this evening. Going to start fresh tomorrow and keep an eye on how quickly it drains.

I always want to start fresh but setting back up and pairing the watch I just don't have the time or patience for.

Yeah it is. I’m just going to do the iPad though. Phone is fine.

So far my battery life seems a touch better than beta 2. Both on my phone and 9.7 Pro. Definitely smoother, with a lot of bugs fixed. Still loving it. I can deal with battery life. I always have it plugged in or extra battery around.

Yeah, so far I’ve noticed it’s a lot smoother. In the previous betas though, it would eventually get a little janky. So we shall seee.

I have noticed on the iPad Pro 9.7, when you tap the Apple Pencil on the lock screen, it opens Notes but immediately crashes. So I hope they notice that and fix it. Was really looking forward to using that feature more.

Mine sucks on the iPad. I have the 9.7” iPad Pro

Mines doesn’t seem very good.

Still seeing lag in the iMessage app. When typing and the cursor goes to a new line, there is about a second delay before it drops to the new line.

Also when touching the send button, there is a delay of about a second before you hear the send sound and see the bubble.

Otherwise, things seem smoother.

How’s everyone’s battery? So far mine sucks unfortunately.

It’s on par with beta 2. I other words, not that great. Beta 1 had better battery life.

I decided to spend my night and start fresh and restore. It didn’t solve any of the issues I was having. Oh well.

Ooh, my Bluetooth issues seem to be fixed. I noticed I was listening to music with my BeatsX just fine with my phone at 27%. So far I haven’t had any issues with A/V transferring either. Smart Invert is getting a little bit better, but still no dark mode.

So far, so good. I installed late last night, and today will be the first full day with it.

Installed on my iPad 10.5 a a few hours ago, no problems so far, too early to tell on battery life and general stability. Ever so tempted to install on my iPhone 7+ after a few days of reading other peoples findings.

I read in review that Smart Invert is working throughout the OS correctly in this beta 3. Whether users have similar experience?

 

[OZsMac]

Ok, so I couldn’t help myself, iPhone 7+, iPad Pro 10.5” and iPad pro 12.9” all upgraded and doing fine so far, at least this year I was able to wait until the 3rd beta for my iPhone.

Smart Invert has proven quite useful, especially for late night reading (not great for the eyes mind you), not sure of any specific improvement with Beta 3, however if I had to make a call it does look different (and better), images are still inverted.

To those who were having VPN-related issues, has Dev Beta 3 fixed the problem for you?

 

[donnation]

So far it seems rock solid on my 7. Battery life has been good after using it most of yesterday afternoon and later in the night.

IMessage stickers issue fixed for me where I couldn’t get rid of the apps in beta 2, I can now.

I’ll use it a full day today and see how battery life goes.

OperaVPN seems to be working, albeit at an unusably slow speed.

Is swipe to clear notification on lock screen back yet in beta 3? Had to downgrade between 1 & 2.

Editing Portrait photos just hangs on saving and won’t fully save.

Not here. Most things work but it is inverting photos, at least within Facebook.
