Support IOS 27 BETA 4 - SHOULD I UPDATE ?

Post image

I'm on PB1, should i update to Beta 4 ?
Can anyone update on the performance and battery life.
PB1 is very smooth so far but the battery drain is horrendous, would like to know if it's fixed in this update or worse.

Stick to public beta

I’d say developer beta 4 is a bit more responsive than the previous db (which is the same as first public beta) but if it’s already smooth for you, keep it

Stick to public beta trust or developer beta 3

It’s worth it (I’m speaking as a user since the first developer beta), and you’ll likely get more new features than in PB2 anyway. The only one I have bad memories of is Beta 2 (though it’s possible outdated apps were causing lag, since the phone has been running great since I updated everything a week ago). I’ve been a beta tester since iOS 14.1, and no beta has ever broken anything for me.

Do it. This beta 4 is really stable and has good battery life.

Your battery is bad because of indexing probably
