Apple Seeds Fifth Beta of iOS 10.1 for iPhone 7 to Developers and Public Beta Testers

Latest update installed fine. My iPhone 7+ seems responsive and stable.

Noticed that the camera's 'Portrait' mode now seems to be faster, have better focus and is more forgiving about the subject not being in exactly in the right spot before the 'Depth Effect' activates.
 
I have a friend who has a funny color of paint on one of the walls in his house.
I'm not a fan of the color. You could even say I have a problem with it.
Every time I stop by, I could say it's a problem that still hasn't been fixed.
Some might say it's not actually a problem at all, but just my own issue.
I suppose, if it really bothers me that much, I don't have to go over to his house at all.
But I'm not going to do that. He's my friend, and I'll deal with it.

While I don't disagree with this statement, I do find it unacceptable to have a major feature (multitasking) that works smoothly from a certain screen and then the complete opposite on another, with no actual reason other than what we think is in regards to "killing the animation".

I don't think your friend would paint his wall green only to look at it from another angle and have it appear red.
 
So Apple released a phone with 2 cameras that don't do anything until this update? Great work guys, I'm sure Steve would be proud
 
Carrier version remained AT&T 26.0, and the Modem Firmware remained at 1.01.13 on beta 5 for me. So, I'm guessing no LTE update?

Yes but at least they removed that pesky headphone jack as part of this great deal....

At least if they get it working, you can look at your zits in 3D. THAT ALONE is worth removal of the HP jack!!!
 
The bunny hop/animation lag/whatever you want to call it has now resolved for me with this update on my 7+ 128GB. Portrait mode working somewhat faster.

No, it includes an update to allow it to be plugged into your middle finger and the audio transmits through your body. It's new Apple technology. The reason the middle finger has to be used is unknown at this point as apple won't reveal it... LOL

umm...that's NOT where the headphone jack has to be plugged in.;)

Erm they do something right now, allow you to "zoom" optically rather than digitally. Portrait mode is just an extra party trick

The animation jump only happens when you're in an app. It's fine on the Home screen. Were you using an app?

As someone else pointed out, the two cameras CAN be utilized even before 10.1 you have the ability to go to a 2x "zoom" using the 56mm lens that is definitely something.
 
Beta 4 broke Apple Music song sharing from the Music app, I use this daily so hoping it's fixed.

I've given up reporting the screwed up "Now Playing" interface on iPad, sigh.

You have 2 different focal lengths. 28mm and 56 mm. If you know anything about photography you should notice the difference.

Hmmm. I don't think this fixes the LTE issue unless 10.1 already had the 10.0.3 fix and there is an additional issue not fixed yet.

I saw the "could not activate" error on 10.0.3 yesterday. I'm also seeing less bars than my wife on a 6. I know bars don't mean everything but I'm always on 1 or 2 bars in places where I used to have good coverage.

The Field Test app is still present in iOS. From the Phone app, dial *3001#12345#* to launch Field Test and you'll have a numeric signal strength in the upper-left you can use for comparison instead of bars.

I can't download the public beta... I signed up, downloaded the profile, restarted my 7 plus... but it still says up to date with 10.0.3.

Anyone else have this problem?
