Apple Seeds Seventh Beta of iOS 9.3 to Developers and Public Beta Testers

[Jimmy Bubbles]

I didn't even know about this! Can't wait to try this out later!

This is only for reading the screen, no? I don't see how this would replace Siri's voices.

I can't get it to work again?

Try swiping away all programs first. I don't know if this is actually necessary but for some reason i have an easier time if nothing is open in the multitasking view.

Isn't that just for dictation though and not Siri?

I see the different voices under voiceover -> speech -> default dialect. I need wifi to Download Alex.

Omg Apple enough with the betas

I think 9.3 is finally going to be the OS release that fixes the last few issues I had with iOS 9.

JUST IN TIME FOR iOS 10 WITH ALL NEW ISSUES!

It worked! Thank you.

I know people claim it's not an issue. Did they change the nightmode/lowbattery issue.

Nope. I agree that this is kind of ridiculous.

I wonder if this is the GM build disguised as a beta. There was a release not too long ago where a build was beta for a couple of weeks and was the publicly released build.

Wow, haven't had a seventh beta since iOS 7.0.

In fact, never had a 7th beta for a non major .0 release.

Yup - goes once you look at what they're adding, it is more than first seems.

Quicker than 8.2 though happily by at least a month! via http://www.thinkybits.com/blog/iOS-versions/

Yep! Looks like that bug has been squashed.

Oh, my bad. I've been busy with life and missed that "bug".

What does staying busy have to do with you mentioning that the bug isn't there anymore when it seem to still be present?

 

[iOSFangirl6001]

Holy heck Beta 7?? The Frick?!!!

It's available to public beta testers as well - I'm downloading it now.

The article says that already just saying

Holy crap!
Is it my imagination or is this a lot of betas??

Yes.. Yes it is ( see other replies below )

This many beta of a .xx release is pretty unheard of right?

Yes. Certainly was unheard of to me till some person on Page 1 of the comments mentioned 8 betas happening twice before.

Wow 7 betas is that a record?

1 week to go.

( See above reply )
Also at this point I half expect us to get to 9.3 Beta 10 lol

Whew so much for me thinking that #5 was the last.

I think that's how a few of us felt on Betas 5 and 6 lol

Still waiting, still waiting, still waiting ........ For the final version of iOS 9.3

In before iOS 9.3 goes full on public with the iPhone 7 release

Wow, haven't had a seventh beta since iOS 7.0.

In fact, never had a 7th beta for a non major .0 release.

Same

Why? Can't they get it right with one or two betas?
It only has to run on two devices.

Uhhh not sure where you're coming up with "ONLY 2 devices"

I feel at this rate, that we could see around 8 or maybe 9 betas of iOS 10 over the summer, as Apple try to stamp out more and more bugs over beta cycles

iOS 10 beta 18 please lol

 

[gigapocket1]

please dont fix the animation bug.

edit: still works

Probably the funniest thing I've ever read

 

[eyeseeyou]

Would be nice to get landscape Springboard on the 6S. No reason why it shouldn't.

Would be nice to get pip in the 6 plus.

Cough up and by a proper tablet. Not one you're going to hold to your head

 

[J.Dillinger]

All I want is for iTunes match to be fixed.

I have a tablet and still want pip on my 6 plus.

Its awesome in the FB app and youtube app. Just need it across the entire OS.

September 2016:

Apple seeds the 15th beta of iOS 9.3 to developers amid the release of iOS 10.

 

[Atreyu25]

Apple OS Coming 2019.

 

[kalafalas]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but those voices are specifically for the voiceover and text-to-voice accessibility features, correct? I think that's separate from Siri itself.

The voiceover sounds fine; when I invoke Siri, it sounds like she did back on iOS 5.

Plugged in, WiFi... all of that's a go.

This setting seems to effect Siri on my device and has since iOS 7 or so. I know my Alex from OS X and can tell when he goes away after a restore and I need to redownload

iOS 2.0 and 5.0 went to 8 betas, there are a few of them that also went to 7.

it is interesting how quickly they progressed thru the betas though.

source: http://www.thinkybits.com/blog/iOS-versions/

It seems like the highest they've ever gone is 7 betas, that site says it shows GMs as beta 8.

 

[monstruo]

Is it safe to say 9.3 would be the most stable version of its calibre?

 

[Radon87000]

Still not quite as fast and smooth as 8.4.1

 

[bchreng]

Can anyone chime in about how the battery life is 9.3 vs 9.2?

 

[XboxMySocks]

Someone please confirm if they fixed the animation bug or not.

Did not.

Sorry, I lost track, what was the over?
