Holy crap, thanks for the advice about disabling the triple-click accessibility shortcut.

I've been annoyed by the slow animation speed for a long time now. More than a year I'd say. Never thought about the fact that it's waiting for a third press and causing it to feel sluggish.

For those who want to disable it:
Settings > General > Accessibility > Accessibility Shortcut (bottom) > Unckeck all of the options that show here.

How would any of these accessibility options have gotten selected in the first place if you didn't manually enable them? I just checked on both of our phones (mine and the wife) and neither one of us had any of them turned on.

EDIT:

That would be highly annoying! If I want to enter a series of comma-separate numbers, constantly switching back to the number keyboard after pressing space would be frustrating. The current behaviour is much better for a "number-comma-space" sequence. That's not a bug.
I would have to agree. Found it much more annoying that it would automatically go back to the letter keyboard instead of staying on the symbols/numbers one.

I think its more people enabling an accessibility shortcut and not realizing it is what causing a pause in the opening of the app switcher.


I am hoping they give me option to turn off the two touch home button

Do you mean click to open? You can already re-enable rest to open under settings -> general -> accessibility-> home button
 
Anytime I open the multitasking tray or close apps, I have a terrible lag between when I push the home button and the phone actually performing the task. My wife's 7 has no issues at all, it's very responsive. I also have the connectivity issues that this release is supposed to correct.
Try turning off accessibility features. Mine was significantly slower than my dads until i turned them off.
 
Apple used to be known for flawless software. Now they only release software with tons of bugs.
Things were never flawless. Some people had that idea because they didn't run into issues themselves or because they just heard of things, but the reality is that there have always been issues here or there for various people.
 
Why do I always have to re-install the Dev Profile to get these updates? It's been like this for all the iOS 10.1 BETA's and most of the iOS 10 BETA's... Nothing shows under Software Update so I have to remove the profile, then re-download and install from developer.apple.com. It's getting rather annoying.

I just had to do the same to get it working. Odd.
 
'iOS 10 has been described by Apple as the "biggest release ever" for iOS users'

Don't they say that about every release? As a user I don't really see what's so big about it. It's certainly not a patch on iPhone OS 2 or 3. Aaah, but those weren't called iOS, I see what they're doing there ;)

Is there any way/place to get a point by point change log for these beta's? When you click on the link in the beta update notification it takes you to the generic beta website but doesn't explain what is in the beta.
 
I just have to say that this beta is a downgrade from the previous in my opinion. Very weird animations opening up multitasking, same animation lag closing apps, battery seems worse for me. I'm on a 7+ from Verizon.

IOS 10 is the" biggest release ever " until IOS 11 arrive next year.They will say the same phrase every year.Please Apple change this
 
My Bluetooth seems to be borked in this beta. It frequently disconnects from my car. All of my bug reports keep getting stuck in the Outbox within the feedback app as well. I've tried signing out/signing in but they still don't send.
 
Another major iOS release, another rant.
Let's face it, guys. The UI performance of iOS since iOS 7 has been inexcusable. Let's not beat around the bush. We used to scold Android for being a stuttering mess back in the iOS 6 days, now we have people excusing this pathetic UI performance just because it's Apple.
Don't get me wrong, I still think iOS is smoother than Android, which is why I upgraded to an iPhone 7+, but only by a little bit. If I wasn't so pedantic about frame drops I probably wouldn't be able to tell the difference at this point - Apple really has slipped.
By the way, I know iOS 10.1 is still in Beta. But at this point it looks unlikely that Apple is going to fix these issues that have persisted for years now. If Apple could not figure out a way to allow smooth animations with the new home button they should have waited until next year. No excuses.

Ugh, I'm so frustrated. I hate seeing a company I love slip so much.

Wonder if they have fixed homekit automation yet. I filed a bug, encourage others to do the same.

Homekit hub on dedicated ipad air2, and when I trigger a geo-location based (Enter/Leave) automation with my phone, either rnothing at all happens, or I get prompted "Do you want to run the automation?" on the lock screen. Quite useless. Time based automation works as expected.
[doublepost=1476799991][/doublepost]As bad as ios is for this, MacOS Sierra (well everything since Yosemite) is far worse.

In what way?

I also hate the new notifications. Not only do they take too much space, but they are harder to dismiss compared to iOS 9: the flicker up always takes two or three tries while it worked well before. Most annoying for me is when I just want to acknowledge an incoming message as "read", I now need to tap on the message, wait for this big window to open, then dismiss it by pressing the X and hoping what I was doing does not reload (it usually does). Before, you could just press it down to read and dismiss by flicking it up. Now, it is a separate window that is no different from just switching to the Message app...

100% agree, this is really my own gripe with IOS 10, notifications are just awful in design. They could shrink them down and have them go away quicker. I don't need them sticking to my screen, I'll get to it later via notification center.
 
Yet still nobody notices the brightess/color temp flicker on their iPhone 6/7 etc when you open Safari from minimized/fresh. Really obvious on a white-based forum like Macrumors.
Hmm. I would probably never have noticed that, but I see what you mean.

I don't have app minimization lag, though, on my iPhone 6. I've never had any idea what anyone is talking about. (At one point in iOS 9, there was a swipe-down to search animation glitch, but that was fixed at some point.)
