An interesting issue I'd like to see fixed: There are certain websites that just refuse to load on Safari in 9.3. Like homedepot.com which just displays a white screen, and the search functionality on lowes.com is broke too. I can look up both websites just fine on my devices that are still on 9.2 but on my mobile that's running 9.3, the sites are broken. If I load up the chrome app both sites work just fine.

are you using purify or another ad blocker? if you are, tap and hold the refresh button in the top right hand corner of safari to reload the page without ad blockers. sometimes even youtube videos get blocked for me on sites.

"Yes", as in restoring from iTunes (meaning installing iOS 9.3 beta 5?) can disable phones?

The last time I tried restoring was the third beta, and it bricked the phone. The verification error first started on 9.3b when my touchID stopped working, so I'm pretty sure it's related to error 53.
 
This was fast. Either Beta 4 was a complete Dumpster fire or Apple is preparing for their March Event earlier then planned. Either way, Apple Watch 3rd party notification are fixed and Apple Pencil UI function are back. this has turned out to be a great day!!

Could that be related more to what's mentioned at https://forums.macrumors.com/thread...ents-and-changes.1959118/page-4#post-22626357 rather than the whole "error 53" issue?

Seems like beta 4 was fine for many people. There were a few issues, like there often are in betas, which the next beta addressed (and beta releases have come in 1 week intervals before just as well too).

By any chance do you have content blockers?
 
The Pencil support for UI navigation is back in this build and a few other bugs that I reported for b4 were all fixed here.

Are you using a content blocker and if yes, have you try reloading without it enabled?

I am using a content blocker and that was happening to me. I had to turn the blocker off for those websites.
 
Well, my non-beta Apple Watch can no longer connect to my Beta 5 iPhone... so yay! :-/
 
This is the GM needed for the new phone production and flashing.

New phones will be released immediately at the upcoming event. This gives Apple three weeks lead time to get the phones into retail.
 
Anyone here have the Beta and CarPlay? Beta 3 was terrible with CarPlay. Beta 4 got a little better. Siri (only through CarPlay) would hang forever, then say "Sorry, I am having trouble. Please try again later". Then, when NOT connected to CarPlay, I'd ask Siri something and she would say "Sorry Charlie, I can't search for that in the car" or something similar. Weird.

GM could very well be something different and beyond this build that Apple already has in the works as they are internally usually ahead of what's released to the developers/public. As for phones being released immediately, doesn't seem like that's a given either, or that they would necessarily have to have 9.3 on them (although it's likely that they would).
 
Apple is just trying to get a version sturdy enough for the 5se.. Although they could technically install 9.2 on it.. But now we all know apple isn't afraid to release a day 1 update for a new device like they did for 6s.. Because we all knew that 9.0 wasn't ready at releases date. It was an amazing difference from the GM version to the actual release day version

The error 53 wasn't fixed in beta 3 (the last time you tried)

The re-release of 9.2.1 that had the fix was released on iTunes after 9.3 beta 3 was released. The error 53 fix has been present in 9.3 beta since beta 4 and now beta 5.
 
I'm guessing they will never bring back being able to listen to and reply to voice messages from the lock screen? I miss that from 8.4.1
