Apple's 2024 beta offerings

It's a bit of a mixed bag...

I downloaded and installed iOS 18 and the new iPadOS and watchOS offerings within 24 hours of their release this year.

This is unusual for me, but in recent times Apple’s beta offerings have been fairly stable. Here are some brief experiences-

iOS 18- only one crash so far and up to this point a flawless experience. Even the battery is holding up.

iPadOS 18- same as for iOS 18. The experience has been completely stable and the battery performance the same as before.

watchOS 11- no issues with performance, but battery life has been approx. 60% of what I was getting before. I would avoid this one until the next beta appears.

That’s it. Very little to say apart from that the betas are holding up even if the new features are sporadic at best.
