Can anyone with an intel modem iPhone confirm that GPS is working correctly for them? I read on macrumors that one of the ongoing issues in dev beta 2 is your gps location is never pinpointed. I've been playing Pokémon Go a lot this summer, so it's pretty important to me.
This is based on dev beta 2, yes? I know that sometimes they would be different versions in past iOS betas.

I jumped in a little earlier than I planned to and gotta say the gestures are a little weird on iPad with the dock shortly coming up and all. Also the new gesture for the app switcher is a little irritating. I guess they'll fine tune that in the months to come.
Also I wish they'd use the left slide down from the top bar for the widgets now that we have differing functionality there.

GPS is the only thing that's glitched apparently. I don't play Pokemon Go so wouldn't be able to test it.
Pretty sure it's because Public Beta is running on Dev Beta 2. Once a new Public Beta comes out, should be able to update.
ahhhhh, so that's why i've been having crazy problems with waze...
Running this on a spare iPhone 5S and it runs pretty well! I don't have much on it though since it's a spare phone.
Did the public beta include Siri shortcuts? When I look at Settings for Siri and Search all I see is More Shortcuts with no apparent way to create more.
Working great with my SE and 5th gen iPad. Keyboard is much faster, everything is really snappy and my SE isn't just randomly getting hot. My iPad would slow down spontaneously but now it's pretty smooth. I haven't used a device this snappy since my stint with the Google Pixel. This is fantastic
I mean you can always jump back to 11.4.1. Just make a backup before updating and you should be good. So far I heard only positive remarks on the beta, only some visual glitches for most. Speed is improved quite a bit too as proven by benchmarks as well.
Yeah. App loading is a bit improved and FaceID scanning seems swifter.
For instance, on my Chase bank app it brought up the FaceID scan to login even before I saw the home screen of the app. It was signed in just as that screen loaded and immediately it was logging in.

I won't lie... Beta 2 has been.... less than great. much worse than Beta 1. My issues
HomeKit is super fucking sketchy.. particularly with my Hue setup. Lights will come back unresponsive (even though turned on). and that unresponsive status then prevents stuff like auto-shut off or automations to turn them off.
Now Playing/background audio is SUPER SUPER SUPER fucked up for me. My lock screen after one or two times playing something will perpetually have the "now playing" window showing but blank.. and unable to get rid of it without a reboot. When I actually play something, a NEW Now Playing window (along with all of my notifications) will appear BELOW the blank window.
and when getting in my car.. it's a total fucking crap shoot as to what's going to start playing (this was true in Beta 1 as well). It seems to start from song 1 of a randomly picked album or playlist that I Was recently listening to. I sort of have PTSD from one playlist right now that it's started from song 1 of like 30000 times in the past month since iOS 12 dropped.
so beta 1 started off amazing.. then my last two paragraphs started happening like a week into it. Then the first paragraph happened with beta 2.... so beware.. ymmv.

no. you can't create any. the Shortcut app is coming later. All you get now is a recent list of things you've done that can have a quick shortcut created. You can sort of cheat by downloading Workflow... and any workflow you create in there can have a shortcut created for it (run the workflow once, then it will show up in the Add section of shortcuts). But that isn't the actual Siri shortcuts. That will just allow you to assign a shortcut to the workflow (so Siri will open the Workflow app, and run the workflow)
Came here to say this. I've spent the last 6 months resenting my 6S+ and desperately wanting to move on to a X, but it feels amazing again now. Everything is so snappy. This is amazing.
I haven't had any GPS issues on my 7+ with DB2. I'm sure they exist but I've managed to dodge them.
Yeah I've been having this issue too. Annoying, but it's a beta so not shocking.
the worst part? I just switched to a new wallpaper that is stunning on OLED... oh except that I NEVER get to see it now... sigh. :P
I couldn't find a way. I'm using an SE so it's extra annoying since it used to not vibrate at all when unlocking.
Wow, this is HUGE for me. Always hated this feature. Like, let me be the judge of whether or not I can read text over my chosen wallpaper.
I ended up downloading this in the morning after reading how stable the developer previews are. It's really good so far!
A few things I've noticed though since morning.
1) Battery died from 100 > 89 in about ~50 minutes of usage with screen on and using my AirPods. I don't think this is normal, but I imagine it's because a ton of third party apps aren't optimized yet.
2) Battery usage doesn't display anything. Mine keeps saying use the phone for more than a few minutes and it will update, I don't know if this is a bug on my end.
3) I took one AirPod out expecting it to pause the music, but it didn't. I thought that'd be a hardware thing but I guess it's controlled by software? I rebooted and this issue is no longer there.
Anyone know about point 2? How long does it typically take to show battery usage in settings > battery?

Settings > Siri & Search
It's right there at the top. I haven't tried it yet but all the interface stuff is in at least.

I don't notice this - Is it when you unlock from TouchID/FaceID?
Shortcuts.app isn't there but you can add suggested shortcuts for some apps. Can't do the exciting stuff from the keynote all within Siri just yet.
thought I said that (I could be wrong).. yeah you can do a "recently used" thing. The actual Shortcuts app where you can create them from scratch though is coming later.
Can always backup, upgrade to see how it goes and revert back. I have an 8 Plus and it's been pretty good.
Download the iOS 11 IPSW and restore via iTunes.
Shift/cmd + click restore and select the IPSW file.
Are iCloud/Apple ID settings and Facetime settings supposed to be disabled/greyed out?
I've seen accounts of people having it/not having it so I'm not sure what the intended behavior is.
