Damn... I was hoping they reduced the font size on the Now Playing screen. :-(

It's so big most track/artist names get cut off! Dang.
I like the idea though. If I am driving and need to glance at it, it's quicker or easier to see. Obviously I see your point too.

The reason why I think they fixed it was that when it was small, sometimes trying to slide the volume or position indicator would slide the screen to unlock or now notification widgets.

"Reduce Motion" seems to have been updated. It's causing the same effects as the "hack" many people utilised in iOS 9.3.x to get rid of all animations. At least when I activate it now the OS drops all the animations making things "pop" immediately.

Now this might be the most interesting comment so far...yay!
Can anyone else verify this?
 
I had a big issue in b1 where I would tap on an app inside of a folder and all of my icons started wiggling as if I held on the icon. Sadly that's still not fixed with b2.

I noticed a subtle change on the lockscreen: the lock icon in the status bar animates when you unlock your device. Pretty cool.

You can also now see the 'today' widgets from the home screen. Thank god.
 
I enabled it on my 6S Plus but doesn't seem to have changed the unlock behavior at the lock screen.

so with it on or off it still unlocks without me having to press it again. I hope that this is just a bug and they fix it because I liked having to hit it to unlock instead of insta-unlock due to the speed of the fingerprint reader
 
I'm hoping that they have done something with the sound slider on the music tab of control center, it is annoying when I try to slide the volume down but instead switch tabs, I don't want to have to hold on it for a little before sliding it.

Is performance any better on the 6+? I found beta 1 to be garbage on all performance fronts (animations, battery life, app launch, etc.).
Performance is better. Still a bit laggy but they generally don't optimize it until the GM build.

However, it's worth updating to simply since the lock screen notifications don't time out on you, they're a lot bigger (showing the message history), and the Safari text entry box doesn't warp you to the bottom while typing (although the delete button now does; don't screw up ;)).

Have you seen the rumors involving a "flat" home button? This could be a new option because of that.

Yeah I have seen it, though with my 6S not having a flat home button I hope they keep it for those that want it. I like having to push it because the 6S just opens way to fast to even see notifications and I am already in the habit of hitting the home button instead of waking with the power button.
 
Thanks! Can you show me what it looks like when tapping Details? Can I add keywords to the photo? I sure hope so!!!
 
I keep seeing the second beta available to install to, but every time I get past the Terms and Conditions agreement it tells me "Update Failed". Is anyone else seeing this? If so, how did you get around it?

I don't see anyway how to. It doesn't show you the name of the image.
[doublepost=1467756338][/doublepost]Neat notifications update. On the non-3D touch iDevices when you pull down on a notification you get a new look for options.

I don't know if this was already in beta 1 but If you open an app thats inside a folder and then tap home and leave the folder, then go back into the previous app with the app switcher, and then leave with the home button it has a fade out animation, can anyone running Beta 1 see if this there or if it's a new feature.

And also I noticed that the drawing thing in messages has been changed a bit, and pressing the arrow thing near the bottom of the screen when drawing seems to have had some changes done to it, and It also gives you a bit more time before sending it both in the message screen and in the bottom arrow screen. The message send effects seem to have been changed a little also, the slam option shakes the messages above it.
(Rest finger setting also doesn't seem to work on my 5s, maybe its like a 6 or 6s kind of feature?)
