(Actually title should have been iOS 12, beta 5) So, I’m very unhappy right now! Last night I tried to open a notification (from Siri suggestion) to activate do not disturb on my phone while I was at a concert. Since then my phone has been bricked and I’ve been unable to restore yet. I’m still working on that but I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem. I’m really hoping to avoid a visit to the “Genius Bar!”
Got a tip for us?

Bring it to Apple store, if they can't fix it, they have to replace it under warranty.
You have an update? Did you try DFU by chance verses a regular restore?
Problems can happen with beta. You shouldn’t be mad that you installed a beta and ran into a nasty bug.

Generally a soft reset or DFU restore can get you out of almost all boot loops or issues.
Sorry forgot to update! So at the Apple store I was able to restore to 11.4.1. Turns out the problem I had restoring was that my PC is too old and slow! Problem now is that I lost everything on my phone and have to start from scratch. No more Beta Testing for me!! As an aside, my Apple store got me in very fast and was very helpful.
Not quite. The current PB4 is ok and your device should have kept an automatic back-up close to the point when it became unusable. So, hypothetically, you could still install PB4 over the iOS 11.4.1 and then restore everything from that iOS 12 backup. This can be a backup made from any iOS 12 PB (1 to 4).
PS I do not use Siri at all (it is switched off), so perhaps in your case something went really wrong there, as Apple are tweaking Siri shortcuts, etc.
