Beta 2 had the best battery life for me. This build is "okay". Beta 3 was pretty bad.

I can't tell between any of them
battery life is so inconsistent I have no idea

Although some days I get through school dead, and others I have 40%, and sometimes 60%

My usage is pretty much identical day after day. So I just keep little notes of what I end the day with and my usage/standby time when testing new builds so I can compare.

Curious to see how this release handles, especially regarding battery life.

oh like every. single. release. since forever..?

every single beta/final: "great great battery", "horrible battery last beta better".


considering ive changed nothing on my device, my battery has been stable & normal since...a long time. how people claim the ios version at the time is at fault (especially those claiming every other beta is great/bad), beats me...

what happens when ur popular i guess..

Just tested the new Apple TV app on 10.2.1 on the iPad for playing synced movies and it now appears to be working! It used to be if you synced a local copy of a movie/video to the iPad and tried to play it in the TV app it didn't play like it used to in the Videos app. Seems to be OK now.

So my iPad Air 2 got stuck in the wrong orientation and my iPhone 6S resprings when I touch the search bar after pulling down notifications and sliding over to widgets. Obviously these issues were not fixed in 10.2.1.

Gotta be in it to win it

Interesting, I tried to replicate on my 6s and don't experience any resprings...fwiw.

Then the last beta must be the same build as this "official" build. Too bad that I have no idea how to improve my battery life.

The News-widget for the control center is gone now in Germany. Pity.

Edit: The widget seems to be missing on some iPhones. iPads are not affected. Strange.
