That’s quite possible. Beta software can be buggy. If this is your main device, it might be better to install the regular iOS, which is 11.4 at the moment.
Thank you for your response, i'll give that a shot, but i maintain that moving apps around on different screens does not accomplish a unique self created user experience . In the end all apps are still dumped on home screens with no organization what so ever, Its just like that junk drawer we all have in our home, you know the one that seems to catch a plethora of stuff and each time you need something from that drawer you have dig around hoping to find what you seek, same with Apple's Idea of dumping all apps on the closest home screen.
Settings has few if any customization settings, changing the control center and backgrounds, really is not customizing a home screen. Where are the widgets, like weather etc..
The fact that a defective cable can force a restore makes the entire iPhone build suspect, a bad cable should not allow data transfer or charging not force the Phone into restore mode and then force a restore.
The fact that backups are not accessible from any program, unless you go 3rd party for extreme high prices, is worrisome. I like to have a local copy of my backups on my backup device, not my laptop or phone.
Android is light years ahead of this "Walled Garden of Apple", I am going to the Apple store and plead my case maybe they will have pity and take this device back. I am not seeing any chance of being satisfied with this device. Its really strange I use a MAC an would not consider using anything else..
