How’s battery life on iOS 12 for those of you with an iPhone 7 Plus?

After playing around with iOS 12 for the last couple of weeks, the biggest improvement seems to be FaceID! On iOS11 it was very hard to unlock when your face was at an angle, or lying in bed, but now it works 99% of the time.

That news of FaceID is tremendous!
I’d love to take a punt on it.. but I hear blutooth headphones are having issues.. so I shall ignore my inner curiosity a little longer.

beta 1 gave me big improvements while beta 2 took it away.
Beta 3 seems to be doing ok for the moment.

Just installing Public Beta 2....wish me luck.

eeloe · 13-07-2018 11:14am

Well after installing yesterday, iOS12 is a game changer.

The grouped notifications are SAVAGE...but most importantly, the one thing i've hated about the iPhone X since day 1, was faceID being absolute rubbish, not any more, it works, flawlessly, every time.

You’ve sold me. FaceID hit and miss drives me mad.

eeloe · 14-07-2018 12:01am

Only thing i’ve found today was, someone called me on Facebook messenger today, tried to answer and it would only gimme audio, until FaceID picked up my face and it wouldn’t.

No major issue there really, this was the first video call I got on FB messenger, ever.

Installed last night, no issues so far! FaceID works properly every time now :-)

FaceID works so much better on iOS12 that I thought it was broken and was just unlocking with any face!

Agreed. iOS has done well this time. Allllthough, it truly is just fixing iOS 11.. the FaceID/ Siri shortcuts should have been 11.5 or something... maybe I’m just being a moan

Has The GPS bug been fixed in Beta 2? Dying to try it but won’t do it unless GPS is working fine.

Jomazuma · 15-07-2018 3:45pm

i have a 7 plus so i'll download onto the ipad first when the public beta is released

It’s on public beta 2

Mlo · 17-07-2018 3:42pm

On the Beta no issues, except Settings has a little red 1 alert on it that I can't seem to get rid of........

eeloe · 17-07-2018 4:11pm

that usually means theres an update available, are you on beta 1 or beta 2? if you're on beta 1, the red 1 means you can update top beta 2.

I also have it. On beta 2. There is no upgrade just a red ‘1’ badge you can’t get rid off. Hopefully it’s gone on beta 3

Devolper beta 4 is out

Mlo · 18-07-2018 3:43pm

In settings it just says IOS 12.0 no beta, no version no nothing. It is working fine so I won't fiddle with it.

IamMetaldave · 18-07-2018 6:34pm

Public Beta 3 is up folks.

Badge is gone

eeloe · 19-07-2018 9:06am

installed this last night on my iPhone X, updated from beta 2.

Left it sitting beside me in bed while it was updating, picked it up when it was done and the phone was RED hot, which was a bit weird.

done a hard reboot, and it seemed to cool down, i'll keep an eye on it today

Mlo · 19-07-2018 9:13am

Done, no badge.

Mlo · 19-07-2018 2:13pm

What’s this badge thing?

Beta 2 (I think) had a permanent little red circle with a 1 on the top right of the settings icon, it was vaguely annoying.

IamMetaldave · 19-07-2018 3:18pm

This update is tremendous! The phone is smooth!! Animations everything!

SleetAndSnow · 19-07-2018 5:21pm

iOS 12 on my iphone x is amazing. Buttery smooth, no lag, animations are perfect. Love it!

That puts it much better!! The only bug annoying me is the iMessages app options keep showing, no matter how often I hide them away.

Nope working smoothly for me

The Black Oil · 03-08-2018 9:19pm

Installed it last night (iPod Touch, 6th gen), not having tried the earlier versions. Apple's podcast quits straight away. No matter as I use Pockcast. Will see what the rest of it's like.

peteeeed · 06-08-2018 10:46pm

Beta 5 is out

SleetAndSnow · 07-08-2018 11:38am

Great! Was having a few issues on this beta which hopefully beta 5 fixes.

SleetAndSnow · 07-08-2018 4:04pm

Anybody else not able to install it? Stuck on update requested for a while

eeloe · 07-08-2018 5:34pm

Took a good while for me to be able to install it alright. Went through in the end.

Having some ‘heating issues’

Trying to work out exactly what’s happening at the time of the phone warming up before I report the issues tho.

murpho999 · 08-08-2018 9:05am

Have this installed on an 8 Plus. It's definitely a very stable release, which makes sense as it's mostly under the hood fixes.

Like the new photo search intelligence, new Irish Siri accent and group notifications.

SleetAndSnow · 08-08-2018 11:37am

Still unable to install beta 5. Im at a loss for how to update.

Shn99 · 09-08-2018 4:17pm

Anyone got the beta on the 6? Hows the battery life? If theres a huge difference I probably wont bother getting the battery replaced as i'll probably be upgrading in the next year or so.

Just an update: Had to restore to iOS 11 and then update to beta 5 via the beta profile. Seems like its a common issue. Took a while but now can see how it goes

The Black Oil · 13-08-2018 9:20pm

Preferred it when the bluetooth symbol showed up next to the battery in previous versions of iOS.

peteeeed · 13-08-2018 9:59pm

Devoloper beta 7 has been pulled after being released at 6 with people complaining of sluggish performance

eeloe · 13-08-2018 10:16pm

Group FaceTime has also been removed from the beta?

I read earlier it’s been pulled from IOS 12 completely and will be put in a future point, it didn’t say if it would be 12.1 or 13.

Interesting, i was wondering why i didn't get the update to the ipad afterwards. Seems ok on the iphone x though

The Black Oil · 14-08-2018 9:40pm

Pocketcasts app went funny on me this morning. Couldn't even quit it. Restarted the iPod and it said my battery was very low which was odd. Got back into Pocketcasts and the battery went back to normal.

eeloe · 16-08-2018 11:26am

Dev8/public6 was released last night.

Installed around midnight, no major issues yet.

murpho999 · 16-08-2018 12:56pm

Also have it installed and it's running perfectly.

neonman · 17-08-2018 11:08am

[iPhone 7 Plus]

Running Beta 5 at the moment and my battery life has gone to the dogs.

I see Beta 6 is now released so in the process of trying to download that although it is VERY slow. Hopefully, it will fix my issue.
