Overcast crashes on launch now.. Restart doesn't help.
EDIT: Reinstalled and all is fine now.

I can confirm you can still turn on night shift in low power mode using Siri. It disables your scheduling though for some reason. Doesn't seem to effect battery performance for me....

Tim Cook Sends Company-wide Email in Honor of Hundredth iOS 9.3 Beta

In an email sent to employees today, Apple CEO Tim Cook offered his congratulations to the iOS development team on the release of the one-hundredth Public Beta release of iOS 9.3. The memo comes on the heels of recent public criticism regarding the company's continued work on the update despite iOS 10's debut nearly six months prior, as well as Apple's announcement of the upcoming iOS 11 at a media event last week. The full email has been posted by 9to5Mac.

Team,

Today, we released the one-hundredth beta of iOS 9.3 to our incredibly dedicated community of developers and public beta testers. It has been a long and arduous journey, but I can truthfully say that 9.3 is closer to release than it has ever been.

The iOS team continues to set an example of Apple's unwavering dedication to quality for the rest of the industry. Over the last year, we've released iOS 10, which has brought a wealth of innovations to more people around the world than ever before; we've made great strides toward the release of iOS 11; and, as I promised our customers last April, we've never lost sight of our goal to bring a truly rock-solid iOS 9.3 to those still using older devices.

I am deeply proud of the efforts you and your coworkers have made to deliver amazing and magical products which enrich the lives of countless millions of people, and I'd like to take this opportunity to thank each of you for the ingenious and tireless work that you do.

Tim

As a major update to the iOS 9 operating system, iOS 9.3 introduces several long-awaited features. Night Shift mode, introduced with iOS 10.0 last fall, reduces the amount of blue light users are exposed to in the evening by shifting the display of an iOS device to a warmer, more yellowish color spectrum. Improvements to CarPlay and Apple News are also included, as well as additional Quick Actions for included apps and support for multiple Apple Watches.

Apple is planning to launch iOS 9.3 this summer.
 
Still waiting, still waiting, still waiting ........ For the final version of iOS 9.3

With such stability as these betas exhibit, I can stay in beta perennially. Do we need "final versions" anymore, just to update to the next beta that comes 3 days later? I for one have been on betas only since iOS 7 beta 1. :D
 
can't wait to see if this update deletes all my pdfs in iBooks as well.

You won't (or shouldn't) have to re-download any PDF's back from the iCloud in this build. I didn't have to. Beta 6 did because I believe they changed something (which is why there was the "hello" welcome screen after updating to beta 6 and the "updating iCloud settings" prompt.) None of that in beta 7.

This made me smile, thank you. :)
 
please dont fix the animation bug.

edit: still works :)

It's sad to have to use a bug for things like that.
iOS and OS X animations are just stupidly slow, they should make them a lot faster (like on any other OS) or create an animation on/off switch.
 
That would be a very bad idea. I hope you're jesting. We'll likely see more iOS/OSX convergence though. And I'm pretty sure that MacBook Pro's will get multi-tough in the imminent future.
Not joking at all... the writing's on the wall. watchOS, tvOS, macOS (?)... I can see a phoneOS and padOS. Personally, I couldn't care less if they named it ittybittykittynipplesOS - as long as it works and improves/increases productivity while remaining intuitive. If they need to break it into product-specific versions, so be it. It will never lead to anything resembling the fragmented mess that Android endures, if that's your concern.
 
I for one welcome the additional testing and focusing on fixing up bugs rather than just shunting it out the door then running around like headless chickens afterwards trying to fix up show stopper bugs. Looking forward to seeing what happens with iTunes, OS X 10.11.4 and lots more.

You have too much free time. And I like it.
 
1. 9.3 Public Beta 7 for iPhone 6 Plus – 45MB update
2. 9.3 Public Beta 7 for iPod Touch (latest generation) – 1.3GB update

Yet both are running the same identical previous version – 9.3 Public Beta 6. Beta 6 was not such a big gap in file size. Interesting.
 
beta test is complete, then a new error 1970 = ) ) ) will appear )
