FYI: Beta 2 updates are historically more buggy than Beta 1 updates (for .0 releases), so don't be surprised if there are still quite a few bugs with this build

[Massoudfaquiryan]

I want to see a full video on iPhone Mirroring with the Mac

Hi Brandon,
Thank you for your video.
I resolved the screen time bug by hard resetting my iphone.

[FeLLoNeY]

Man you’re quick !!!! Also my “SCREEN TIME “ works perfectly !!!

[justinharrison]

Great video! Striaght and to the point. Thanks Brandon!

[RaghavVijay]

Awesome Brandon- Some really great changes with this beta like iPhone mirroring which will definitely help me use my phone a lot less, I hope, but otherwise hopefully some more of the bigger ones like apple intelligence come soon. Thanks Brandon-Keep it up!

[PixelsPeeper]

I have been waiting for you all day Brandon 😅

Is the issue resolved where you couldn’t download apps over cellular and you had to use WiFi only?

[jointe]

Just me or the icons still don't all change to dark mode :(

[DerangedScout]

When I do geekbench tests, I disable wifi, data, bluetooth etc, restart it, leave it to idle for 10 or so minutes and only then will I run it. Usually rules out any discrepancies.

Beta 2 runs smooth
I find it good as face unlock runs smoother compared to beta 1, also haptic issues are resolved on my end.

Performance on my iPhone 13 Pro max is way way better than beta 1

[Cakeytoo]

Idk about you but my screen time has been working fine since beta 1 and beta 2

[Floppa_TAG_brother_]

I cant freaking wait for this like the iOS 17 time (im gonna enable my BETA again)

[MuzziYT_]

My screen time is not working I try to go into it in settings and it only freezes all my settings but nothing else

[breakfast]

Hi Brandon, i wanna ask how is the system data after this update?

[YTdontcareguy]
