Apple Seeds First Beta of iOS 9.2.1 to Developers

So you're saying that, on iOS 9.2;

There is no frame drop AT ALL in Landscape mode, using 3D Touch, on your iPhone 6S Plus.

Also in Portrait mode? Mine is smooth on Portrait with a little stutter but not so bad.

LOL I just tried landscape mode 3D Touch and it was TERRIBLE, prob 5 FPS.

Nope, honestly it's fine and I'm really OCD about things like that.

I too, get the lag in landscape mode on my 6s Plus SOMETIMES. Now, let me explain a way i've gotten the issue to disappear everytime. If you do a 3D Touch function and it lags in landscape mode on your 6s Plus, swipe all the way left, where you see Siri suggestions, nearby locations, News etc. Then immediately go back to your apps and try 3D Touch again. It makes it smooth on my phone in landscape EVERYTIME. Seems like it prepares the phone for the FPS by doing it, so maybe that will point out any flaws in software. Hope that helps.

Btw, in portrait mode, 9.2 fixed any lag completely, everytime i use 3D Touch.

I couldn´t agree more with you.
A company such as Apple should have better software development (with proper test and debugging cycles).
Instead of running behind the schedule they should hold off a release and stop delivering to the general public a beta or pre-alpha version.

A user has to specifically do things to get the public beta so a general public release does not just happen. Most users don't even know what beta is or that's one is available for download/install. So you think a handful of Apple employees testing software (most likely with native apps) is better than a large group of regular users testing with all the different variations of apps installed? I would think the more the better but thats just me.

Good to see Apple addresses issues that no one really noticed, yet leaves the obvious ones untouched.

You must have missed the part about broken MDM for enterprise users. Even a few posters here have run into a nightmare in their environments due to this. So if the MDM fix is the only item fixed in 9.2.1 its a win for all the enterprise users out there. Maybe it wont effect Merkie so much but I suspect Apple has more at stake with getting the enterprise users functioning software. :)

There will always be issue in software no matter what you do. Heck, my software after two days of development and a month of testing before release still has bugs discovered by unlucky users even though I try my best to check everything.
What other process would you suggest? We have public betas for those willing to test things and report these bugs yet this doesn't seem to work.

Simply not true. Its the difference between manufactured software and engineered software. Yes, I am also forced to sit down and write software rather than engineering it correctly. That does not make it right. Accepting that software with bugs is normal does nothing to improve the situation.

... complexity has and will maintain a strong fascination for many people. It is true that we live in a complex world and strive to solve inherently complex problems, which often do require complex mechanisms. However, this should not diminish our desire for elegant solutions, which convince by their clarity and effectiveness. Simple, elegant solutions are more effective, but they are harder to find than complex ones, and they require more time, which we to often believe to be unaffordable. Niklaus Wirth, Alan M. Touring Award Lecture, Communications of the ACM Feb 1985​

Expectation often effects reality. It certainly does in interactions with both children and adults. There is no reason to think expectation does not apply to software since it is largely produced by children and adults.

That's what we call theory vs. practice (or basic reality).

Nope, writing software with bugs, just keeps programmers employed. Its no wonder that most programmers believe bugs are acceptable and a normal part of the development process. It keeps their reviews positive. Software I write as a independence contractor comes with a guarantee, bugs fixes are free. But I do understand why most programmers don't do that.

Guarantee with bug fixes that are free, or a big-free guarantee?

I have re-installed OS X 10.11.2 but my externally mounted drives would still unmount after some time (over night). There is no need to restart or relogin, a relaunch of the Finder will remount them, but it would be very nice if Finder not dismount them. My external disks are mounted via airdisk through my apple extreme. How are your external disks mounted? Did you have to do something to have a stable mounted external disk setup? Thanks.

This issue has been around since the iOS 9 beta this summer. I can't believe that it's taken Apple this long to fix it. I've reported it many times.

The one mentioned involves MDM--I'm not sure that's the same general one that various people have been encountering.
 
Just noticed that this brings back the "near by" feature in the 'Siri smart' area that was removed on the last update. Looks like they're opening it up from just inside the City

are you saying there isn't any lag in portrait mode for you?
my 6S dropping frames like crazy when i swipe around with a bit of speed between the pages, and also in the siri suggestion/search page is dropping frames for the first few times.

i thought at least the new generation models are completely free from lag, but no, they are not (at least for me, but i have an iPad Air 2 that produces even worse user experiance from this perspective.)

should i do a clean install or what? will that fix this?
 
I've just noticed that the news app was removed with 9.2.1 Public Beta. Does anyone else not have it?

EDIT: Derp, I forgot I'd hid it in restrictions.
