Yea felt the same too, gave the OS a few days to settle down reindexing but still the same no improvement. Used to get about 1.5 hours of usage & 7 hours of standby on 11.1 for 10% of battery. Now I’m on 11.2 beta 3 battery life has been better than 11.1, I get about 2 hours of usage & 8.5 hours of standby, more if low power mode is turned on.

iPhone 8 plus by the way.

I’ve been running 11.3 beta on my iPhone 8+ for 2 days and battery life is better than 11.2.5. Performance is a little snappier too. But I turned off background app refresh & I don’t have much syncing to iCloud. For every 10%, usage is about 2 hours with 3 hours of standby.

Perhaps you may want to try that and see if it improves.

Nah nothing much, but I guess animoji users will be happy to see new animals now haha. My iPad mini 2 saw the biggest improvement in terms of overall speed, no longer lags & I can turn off ‘reduce motion’ option. I guess they really throttle down the cpu prior to 11.3.

Now I’m loving my iPad mini 2 again haha.

So far so good, not noticing any bugs so far with 3rd party apps. Battery life seems better than 11.4 and feels snappier. Need to run some benchmarks to verify the performance gain.

From what I understand though this is the first public beta release, it’s actually equivalent to second developer beta release hence the minimal bugs.
