Apple releases third developer beta for iOS 17, macOS Sonoma, and more
Here we go, folks. iOS 17 beta 3 is out and we’re digging in to see what’s new. New betas...
How stable was beta 2? I’m toying with installing it on my phone but only if it’s not too janky.
I’m shocked how stable it was to the point I forgot I was running it. Never encountered any issues.
I have only had minor graphical glitches running iOS 17 dev beta 2. Like always though, it can be a crapshoot and you want a backup plan in case things go awry.
Expect some graphical glitches and more battery drain than normal. It’s mostly fine this early on but make a backup to be sure,
I’ve been on 17 since Beta 1 and this has been by far the smoothest beta series I’ve ever used. 1 was great, 2 had a few graphical glitches but was still pretty smooth… just downloaded 3 and am so far not seeing anything noteworthy as far as bugs. Everything seems snappy as ever.
Man I hope Apple Music is fixed. On beta 2 I would be listening to an album , decide to listen to something else , go to the new album and hit play. Then the rest of the previous album would be added to up next so I would get the song I was listening to then it would go back to what I was listening to before.
At this point I may have a better experience on the betas and will probably install on my iPhone. Ios 16 is pretty buggy (I have audio randomly crash or widgets disappear with only reboots fixing then)
Also the public beta is probably around the corner now
Is the iPadOS beta stable as well? I assume most people here are talking about iOS.
Yes definitely. Maybe even more so than iOS.
No issues running it on mine.
Went to update my iPhone and it says I need to remove apps in order to install it despite having 28GB free. Not sure why.
Edit: Restarting the phone fixed the issue.
I had to do a double take, I read that as Sodoma.
Up next, macOS Gomorrah
How's battery live on ios17 beta? Thinking of installing when the public beta drops.
It's been fine for me (14 pro max). Worse on install day, then I reboot, then it's normal
IOS 17 Beta is by far the best of the early betas the last years even my banking apps are working fine. This was not the case with IOS 14,15,16 Betas.
Thanks I missed this today!
