Apple Seeds Fourth Beta of iOS 10.2 to Developers [Updated]

"Apple has called iOS 10 its "biggest release ever" for iOS users, "

Hardly. iOS10 is a bunch of fluffery for people who are addicted to texting. The biggest release would have to be iOS2 when apps were introduced (anyone else remember their stagnant phones before apps?) or iOS 5 with Siri and the Notification Centre plus iMessage and iCloud.

And then some. There's nothing "big" about iOS other than its supersized fonts, translucencies and buttons that were a total departure from Apple's subtle edge-to-edge visual language. Certain elements don't even align or space correctly. I tried to avoid this UX atrocity as long as I could, but unfortunately my new 6S came with iOS 10 preloaded and wouldn't let me roll back to iOS 9. :-(

Or iOS 10 is a big release for those who are addicted to texting and those who aren't. As with all releases opinions are all over the map.

When did that start? I have a 2015 GTI, and haven't had any BT issues at all.

2015 Jetta; no issues at all.

I don't know if this is unique to iOS 10.2 beta 4 but it's the first time I've ever seen it happen...I downloaded the Ocado app (UK grocery deliveries) and when I opened it for the first time, I got a pop up asking if the app wanted to use a safari saved password for Ocado.com.

I already had an account with Ocado and had previously used the desktop site and stored my login details via iCloud Keychain.

But this is the first time I've ever come across an app automatically wanting to grab the corresponding desktop site login details from within the app itself. I hope this gets rolled out a lot. It's been a major gripe of mine and the key reason I've not used recommended complex passwords when setting up new account settings.

Anyone else come across this? Is it a 10.2b4 thing?

I've seen it come up before.

What device? And random shutoff in what sense?

Not sure when it started but definitely when I upgraded my iPhone to the 7+ and iOS 10.1.1

I'm going to assume they're working their butts off on bluetooth to make sure their AirPods work seamlessly. Probably the reasons why it's being delayed, who knows... (Apple does)
