beta Don't get the iOS 16 developer beta

[Nestemate]

Seriously, don't get it. If you want to daily drive iOS 16 developer beta, I strongly suggest you not to. I installed the beta on an iPhone X, and that thing is like a toaster. Even on standby, it's warm to the touch all the time. And when you use it, it's too hot to hold it that even your flashlight and other things are disabled. Some apps just disappeared temporarily (In my case the settings and other 2 apps but a restart fixed it). And there's so much lag that it can't be usable. Now I get it, " it's a beta, what did you expect? ", but I think that this is the least stable iOS version ever. I daily drived betas for 3 years and they were usable, they would just have 1 or 2 bugs but that's all, nothing major. I heard that I'm not the only one, on iPhone Xr it's the same thing but your experience may vary. I suggest that you should avoid it for now and wait for the public beta or even better, the full release. I would like to know if this behavior is present for you guys.

it's an iphone x, what did you expect

Even Apple strongly suggests you don't run dev betas on a daily driver device.  When you go to set up the profile, they even explicitly say it should only be on a dev device.

Nobody should ever run developer betas or public betas of iOS or Android on their daily driver phone.

 

You should revert to 15.5 for your main phone, and just leave the betas for your test phone(s).

iOS often runs fine on some of the earlier phones as well, at least ofr the final release. Developer Beta is a whole different beast then what we get in the general public in the end.
