iOS 17.6 Beta 1 ― Bug Fixes, Changes, and Improvements

[winxmac]

No changes to my 15 Pro Max after updating to 17.6 b1. Performance and battery life about the same as 17.5.1.

Lost 5% just for browsing and not even watching any video within 5 minutes on iPhone 13 Pro running iOS 17.5.1 and this is after 4 days since iOS 17.5.1 was installed, updated from iOS 17.0.3 [I bought a pre-owned iPhone 13 Pro but I updated it to iOS 17.5.1]

I previously owned an iPhone 14 Pro Max running iOS 16.7 so I'm fairly new to iOS 17 as well as the iPhone 13 Pro battery experience...

Based on what you said, it seems to me that it will not matter whether I stay on iOS 17.5.1 or update to iOS 17.6 DB/PB 1, battery life will be the same... I hope not...

Using Safari on either of my iPads I cannot complete a purchase. I put something in my basket then press “Proceed to checkout”

At that point Amazon tell me:

“You can't use your Web browser's Back button to return to the checkout page and change an order you just placed.”

On my XS it all works fine. All devices are on 17.6 beta 1

Went to Settings --> General --> Shut Down

It immediately locks the iPhone so even though I have the Assistive Touch enabled, long pressing home to force clear the RAM no longer works... The last time I tested this was in iOS 16.7 so I'm not sure if it still worked in iOS 17.5.1

What issue are you having?

I don't believe this clear RAM "trick" works anymore.

Everyone’s results will be different but that seems like a big drop in 5 mins, 1% per minute. What is the battery health of your 13 Pro? 17.5.1 was the best battery life imo from the previous versions, so I was happy that it was the same or maybe marginally better after a few days on 17.6 b1.

I usually do a soft reset after installing a new software update.

Can anyone confirm that the issue with extremely poor quality audio messages sent via the Messages app has been fixed?

...anyone?

Does anyone else get that weird stutter when the music app zooms up into the Dynamic Island? It used to never do that when I first got my 15 Pro and ever since like 17.1 it has stuttered every few times it would fly into the island.

I’m not getting the stutter. 15PM on 17.6 PB1

I’ll pay closer attention and note it here if this happens.

My phone's call sounds aren't working properly. I can feel the vibrations, but there's no sound. However, all other notifications have sound. I've double-checked all the settings, and they seem to be correct.

Anyone know if the bug is fixed where I ask Siri to play music and it plays my downloaded music? I don’t have Apple Music. All mine is downloaded but it says playing.. then it says cannot play.

Oh good, it's even worse than 17.5.x - I don't (won't) subscribe to Apple Music, but my issue is Siri won't play playlists in CarPlay. It will on the iPhone.

Anyone on the beta able
To report. I use to be able to do this. It would still say couldn’t connect to Apple Music but it would then continue to llay the song I asked for
