They've made it easier to like and dislike articles in the News app and I kinda like Top Stories (although they're pretty much all political even though I don't follow political channels) but there still needs to be a way to 'cap' the amount of stories that are fetched. I don't want a limitless list of stories and I don't really want anything older than about 12 hours. You should be able to set fetch caps based on those things.
Got a tip for us?

Ooh snap! This update bricked my iP6+.
I have never jailbroken it. I have never had it repaired (nor has it needed repair). It's a well cared for, plain-vanilla iP6+ and has only ever had just a minimal of apps install via the Apple App Store.
After the iOS 9.3 install it said a new carrier profile was available and asked if I wanted to install that too. I said yes. (I'm on Sprint.) In settings I see that the VPN turns on for about 5 seconds and then off for 5 seconds and repeats.
Now I can't connect to the internet via any app. No internet means no Apple ID server. No Apple ID server means no iCloud. No iCloud means no way to turn off Find My iPhone. No way to turn off Find My iPhone means no way to restore the backup.
Of course, this also means that my Apple Watch is bricked too.

Well it makes sense if you consider that this limitation is a clear indication that night shift is a system service running on top of everything else, rather than added code in the existing display pipeline code. Apparently new daemons/services are being developed in 64-bit only. That's another reason why it's blocked by low battery mode: run as few services as possible.
My OTA upgrade was about 300+ MB, from 9.2. I don't run official betas (just the ones Apple releases as non-beta final versions, grrr... text selection is still crap in Safari, despite reporting this and various people posting about it on the web).
Activation was sluggish but worked after a few minutes. Did it around 4:30pm EST Monday.
Do whatever you want: I'm enjoying iOS 9.3 right now.

Maybe Low Power Mode just cuts out every unnecessary task
For some reason, this update still does not show up for my 5S, 6S, 6S+ and 6+. I've restarted iTunes. I've probably connected each of the phones at least ten times.
You can't manually turn it on? I thought it was only supposed to not turn on automagically if in low power....

You can do it manually but only by using Siri to do it. My guess is that's a bug and will be removed in 9.3.1 no doubt
SoftBank in JP did the ages ago and I was totally confused at first. One less character?
I'm guessing this has been discussed in the beta threads, but I've noticed there's artist names under the tracks names now. Or am I blind?
You mean this was due to a carrier update? Nah, I don't believe my carrier pushed an update 10 minutes after 9.3 was released, it is too good to be true..
I understand it is possible but as others have mentioned, that feature was coded for current 64 bit units not depreciated 32 bit devices. Its actually nice that Apple even still lets older devices get any of the new updates on 4 generation and older devices. So expecting old devices to have the full functionality of the current line is not a reality. They could stop support on those at maybe 2 iOS revisions later.
“When I charge the phone, it gets stuck for hours to the same percentage or charges very very slow. When I reboot the phone suddenly it shows me 100%. I really hope Apple has a fix for this bug.” User complaint
that's my problem from 9.2.1..
This is not "bricked", I wish someone would use the term only when it's actually the case.
Probably means the phone as lost track of its battery. It's normal that a phone charges faster when in the middle (20-80%) and less when near the end. Charging fast when the battery is almost full damages the battery (that's why it slows down); but if it thinks it's close to 100% when it is not, the slow charging could occur too early.

Betas do full updates. I only had 183MB on an Ipad 2 with 9.2.1
3D touch will not work on the stock weather app. Was this dropped in the public release of 9.3?

Never mind - opened the app and closed it. Then tried 3D touch and it worked.
Well I have noticed a lot more functionality with the new update- although it's ever so slight with most apps. I haven't noticed the 4g issue as of now.
CYTA. They introduced it suddenly at the 2nd of November. And they stated later it was LTE at the press releases. Although when you were selecting it iOS said "This carrier was not certified for an LTE network" But I was be able to access it.
