please dont fix the animation bug.
edit: still works
You don't need to activate that bug. It's basically the same as the reduce motion feature that can be turned on in accessibility.
Oh, I really hope they do split it. iOS on an iPad Pro just doesn't seem right....They need to take OSX and iOS and mix them together perfectly.

Why would it be a bad idea? I think it's something that we need on the iPad Pro. Something similar to the Surface tablets.
Agreed... why do people try to copy other people's good sense of humour and then kill the joke?!
Internally Apple is usually some ways ahead of the builds that are released to developers and the public.
But there is no weather app on the iPad. I'm referring to the weather info that appears in the notification center.
9.3 is like the never-ending OS beta. I think this is because Apple is putting way too much these days into their iOS updates.
First, strip out the built-in app updates from an "iOS" update. If the News app wants to improve a feature, update the News app independently when it is ready to go, like any other App store app. I am sure the News app has been ready to go for a month now but because its lumped in with iOS 9.3 people have to wait much longer for this app to be updated with a bunch of other apps and features, this is pretty stupid. Apple needs to treat their own apps like any other App store app and just update them when the feature is ready to go. It is FAR easier to beta test the News app separately then lumping it together with a million other changes. Google doesn't update their apps and services tied to the Android release schedule, my Google apps update periodically on their own, even on my Android phone. Apps are Apps, OSes are OSes, an OS is NOT a bunch of apps.
This means that Apple should strip out OS security, performance and stability issues into stand-alone updates. These kinds of updates should be fairly regular. I would rather an OS update monthly to keep ahead of security flaws rather than wait 3 - 4 months for Apple to beta an iOS update with a security patch because people are too busy playing around with a feature to change the color of my screen at night. I mean how many security patches are included in 9.3 that are being delayed because they are too busy tweaking NightShift. Waiting for an OS to improve its security, performance and stability because of an app or feature update that is not ready to be released is pretty stupid.
Finally, only introduce NEW apps and features that are integral to iOS on a semi-yearly schedule bunched together, this can include SDK updates that will impact app developers.
I think a large part of the quality issues iOS and OS X have been having is that Apple is trying to push out too much content at the same time and even Apple can't maintain that kind of release scheduled because eventually important things are getting stalled because of other unrelated mundane things being fixed or tweaked and lumped together.

pdfs all there. something about 6 made it impossible to sync iBooks on my mac with iTunes on the iPad. pdfs would upload and then disappear from the iPad the next time it was sync'd. only way to get iTunes to see pdfs was to load them into an iBooks folder in iCloud - all pdfs and ebooks are now stored in the cloud, something i didn't want. and renamed ebooks don't show up at all.
Look at how long it took iOS 7.1 to come out or many other point updates. This isn't all that long.
The lengths they are going to drag this on are ..... Crap ... normal. I truly hope this is a well performing update.
I have seen an problem with iBooks. I did Make allready Make a feedback. When i want to export a site or pages in Safari to iBooks. I get an message that it has been exporten but the export is not shown in the iBooks. Do the same again in Safari, now shows the PDF. So you need to do it double. As reported i have made an feedback.
Took the words right out of my mouth or rather keyboard
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!
Lol yep
In my defense I hadn't seen the prior non updated version and wasn't aware they had even updated the article
Fair enough though
Well apparently the main reason they are not, or cannot do this, is because the standard apps aren't apps like you download. They are deeply integrated into the core OS, which is also one of the reasons that we cannot uninstall them like loads of people want to.
Not saying your way wouldn't be awesome and improve bugs.
HTC (android) did this last year, and other than that the fact that the original apps in the system rom were not replaced, it was very well received.
How you quantify massive improvements??

Who has the idea about what is under the hood? If you have then please share...I said placebo effect because it's been under testing for more than two months and still it will not fix majority of bugs. At most three or four bugs will be fixed. So much testing for fixing so few bugs...
Again, if you think they fixed 3 or 4 bugs you don't have idea what's behind the development of iOS
If you're a Verizon customer, would you kindly let us know if voice-over-wifi is enabled and works? Thanks.
I just tested on my iPhone 6s with the Notification Center and it still shows as Celsius.
I love the thought of super improved bugs. I love the English language, so many bugs.
