Apple Releases First iOS 10.3 Public Beta With Find My AirPods Feature

[Calby]

Can someone please report if there is a fix for the 30% battery bug?

I don't care about Theatre Mode, I don't care about Find My AirPods, I care about not having my battery jump from 65% to 30% and then shut off.

That's a known-issue with the battery, Apple 'll replace it for you free of charge.

I just updated and the speediness is nice. However, I tried to install Truecaller and I'm not seeing any option to enable it in Settings->Phone->Call Blocking & Identification. Does anyone else have this issue?

The black screen for a second seems to be only on native apps like settings, app store, iMessages, etc.

Ignore the app switcher at the end. My finger slipped.

I'm getting that same thing on a 6S. Hopefully, THAT bug will be killed soon ....

Is the black screen only there with reduce motion on or is it always like that?

It's there with reduce motion on and off, same black screen regardless.

On that note, I haven't had reduce motion set to the off position in forever. I got a little bit of phone sickness watching the animations.

Located in the 'Find my Friends' app?

For the simple reason that all my devices suddenly have way more space , it's the best upgrade in years!
Let's just hope battery life remains steady .

I see the same and tried reinstalling the app plus the typical app force end/relaunch and rebooting - all without any success. I reported it as a bug through the Apple Feedback app.

Off the bat you have to take it as a given some apps will not work on an early beta

Ah, so this is why they removed the Finder for Airpods app from the store. I called it, look at my post on the thread about that.

They've done that before, by the way.

looks like battery drain is fixed. cross finger.

How does this battery life look for a 6s with reduce motion on, location off, background refresh off?

I'm thinking, does this new file system need indexing and it's just not as good on the first day or two?

 

[Whimseh]

I hope these animation changes don't stay, very clunky.

Honestly stunned. Running beta 1, and it's competely flawless. It runs even smoother than the the current public build.


I remember the days when beta 1 was a buggy unusable mess.

In a.... uh, comical (?) way, it's interesting you make a product so loseable you need to pair it w/ a device to help you find it.

Too bad they didn't make them cheap enough/disposable enough to warrant a multi-pack that actually touts this as a sales incentive!

Running it on my 6s. Didn't break Swype. I do see the slight black screen when an app is opening. App switcher is definitely faster.

I think it showing all my devices is pretty cool.

Sooooo thankful for the Apple ID device list. Even allows you to remove them from your account. THAT has been a missing feature since day one. Previously doing so required access to the device OR it needed to be done in iTunes. Which unfortunately many of them would be grayed out and took up a slot until they eventually were removed over time.

AirPods not showing up in "find my iPhone" (yes, I am on 10.3, public beta). Anyone else run into this?
[doublepost=1485490012][/doublepost]* I was able to get it to appear after I toggled the "find my iPhone" in the main device list in settings... weird.

 

[Mykul]

Wondering if the fly in was sped up in the video??? Seems it was faster than ios 10.2, what is your take on the speed of fly in and out?

 

[TheAustrianGuy]

iPhone 6s with unfortunately 16GB.
Installed 10.3 PB and have about 1.5GB more available space than before, which is a big deal on such a device.
And it's faster, too. With "it" I mean pretty much everything.

 

[tomaszk]

lol, am I the only one to have to have an issue in settings ? iCloud is not showing up any more. It should be next to iTunes and Wallet. It's just not there. Tried to call Apple, and they were quite thankful that I reported it, but couldn't give me any advice. Any suggestions ?

Okay, so I found it at the top of settings, under Apple ID, iCloud, iTunes & App Store. (rolls eyes)

Having the same issue. Hoping it's indexing.

You can use "find my iPhone" to locate your iPhone and iPad. Those aren't any easier to lose than a smartphone or tablet of any other brand.

 

[TheFatWookie]

Anybody try the beta with multiple Apple ID accounts? I.E. using one account for iCloud and another for iTunes & App Store? How does the work with the new consolidated Apple ID settings screen?

Running it on my 6s. Didn't break Swype. I do see the slight black screen when an app is opening. App switcher is definitely faster.

I think it showing all my devices is pretty cool.

Can you expand on the benefits of this? We use O365 and wondering how this correlates with your comment.

It's very fast, but now my Apple Pencil won't charge from my iPad Pro. Or maybe it is, it just reports it as 5% with the charge symbol but it doesn't go up or down.
