I'm just noticing there is a tiny delay when an app is closed, what opening animation are you seeing?
Got a tip for us?

Apple Seeds First Beta of iOS 10.3 With 'Find My AirPods' to Developers

You are aware the last iPhone they released included a bigger battery...?
But it still works.
A new file system was definitely something that many people wanted and Apple did implement new features, though we cannot say how and when Apple will use them.
Maybe this will pave the way for multiple accounts in iOS 11. That might sound flashier to announce then.
That seems awful. They are now pushing the top controls in Settings down for this?
This is hopefully a bug.You look extremely foolish with this post. Swift alone is a giant innovation, and incredibly well thought out programming language. APFS will be used in all products moving forward, and has significant security improvements. Thicker phone? Go get some 4000mAh android, let me know how much of an improvement that is for you.

It doesnt feel worse in practice. It pushes "sounds and haptics" and the wallpaper off the top screen, but I would bet that iCloud and iTunes are accessed more often.That seems awful. They are now pushing the top controls in Settings down for this?
Kinda burying the lede with the APFS at the bottom.
Surely shouts out to all paying attention to definitely backup, and maybe skip this beta if not really needing to be on the first beta testing a new file system.
Could you even revert back if you're changing to APFS?
" there's no downgrading once migrated to APFS!"

My favorite new feature would be "find my music controls on the first card of the Control Center". Splitting the cc on iOS 10 was one of the worst UI ideas ever.
That, and universal dark mode please.

Rumor has it that 10.3 is the update that will make things a lot better for the iPad Pro, such as the home/springboard screen allowing more icons on a page.
I'm hoping to see iPad Pro users testing this.
Yes, nobody uses Siri. That's why she only gets a billion requests per week.
What happens if you are not using iCloud? Also, I am guessing that device storage is still buried under ‘General’?
It's definitely not a bug. The Apple ID tab is 2 times taller than the other tabs and has a standard size gap in both directions. So evething is 3 tabs down. Its useful but a bit out of the blue. The settings feature I'm waiting for is split view support. I think it is one of the apps where it makes the most sense.That seems awful.

That is an excellent question. I, however, am not interested in dealing with removing iCloud on my phone to find out
I will try updating an iPad now and let you know.
Ahh, I read it as you will never use Apple Pay. I didn't read it as you don't have it available. I hope you have a chance in the future to have it available to you. Its fantastic to be able to pay with my phone when I travel with less worry about card data theft. I have had my card number taken many times over the years.
You might be right but the tenor within these fine, fine forum walls suggests an Apple concerned only with watch bands, profit, and thinness. So what's the big deal with APFS? Coupled with Swift and proprietary chips, will APFS somehow allow Apple greater and unique control and responsibility over their products?
It will speed up things like spotlight searching, time machine backups, and new OS installations. It will improve reliability and prevent file corruptions. It will improve performance for devices using flash memory. It will improve battery life by eliminating certain types of writes to flash. Etc,
- Conversation View in the Mail app features navigation improvements.
Can someone please show what Mail.app look like in conversation view on an iPhone?

10.3 has a great feature that isn't listed here: there is a new API that asks for an app rating. More importantly, there is an OS-wide setting to hide these messages.
Hopefully Apple will eventually ban apps that roll their own.

What does Apple File System do? Faster file system?
[doublepost=1485287951][/doublepost]
[doublepost=1485287951][/doublepost]
What exactly does that do? Faster file system performance?(faster loading)?wow. we are already getting APFS?
Wasnt expecting it until WWDC. That by itself should be considered a big update.

From the Backblaze article:
Optimisation for devices using solid state storage (flash and SSDs)
Ability to track a lot more files
When saving or duplicating files, APFS shares duplicate data between files whenever possible. Instead of duplicating information like HFS+ does, APFS updates metadata links to the actual stored information.
(Think shortcut to the duplicate, rather than an actual file duplicate if not needed - so a clone/copy of a file can be made by essentially the clone being created (initially) as a shortcut to the original.
(presumably if you're making a copy onto another drive on macOS eg copy to a USB thumb drive, it'll make an actual copy).
Space Sharing - better managing free space on the drives
Able to set up multiple partitions, even multiple file systems, on a single physical device, and all of them can share the same space.
(Currently resizing partitions etc is not simple).
Looking to reduce latency – the amount of time between when you ask your device to do something and when it actually does it.
Crash protection - (a new copy-on-write metadata scheme that’s much more efficient)
User privacy - much more sophisticated encryption options than before.
Currently Apple’s FileVault (its current encryption scheme) is “whole disk” encryption. All or nothing. Either the whole disk is encrypted or not. APFS still supports whole disk encryption, but it can also encrypt individual files and metadata, with single or multi-key support. That provides additional security for your most sensitive data.
