Apple Seeds Sixth Beta of iOS 10 to Developers and Public Beta Testers

[Freakonomics101]

Just installed beta 6. Beta 5 gave me zero issues. Hopefully beta 6 is the same.

 

[davenlm]

Ive has been loving Apple for quite some time.

I see what you did there!

 

[lordofthereef]

I stared with beta 4 and the only bug I personally ever noticed was the dock bug. Let's see if it is fixed!

 

[macintoshmac]

It had the exact opposite effect on me -- I'm heading to Android. To each their own.

Were you sarcastic or serious? You do know you don't have to use all the features baked into the system right?

 

[Unggoy Murderer]

Obviously it's more than the changes to iMessage, although Apple still hasn't clarified if the receiver is able to disable these "rich notifications". In that sense, it most certainly is being forced upon you. Anyone older than 12 will understand why this is an issue.

You obviously need to find a set of more mature friends.

He is serious and he will be posting a video for us smashing his iPhone with his hammer shortly!

They're right there in the new redesigned interface. Whether you install them or not, the buttons remain taking up space and cluttering the UI.

They don't take up any space. When you tap on the input field, the buttons disappear. Besides, its not like the space the buttons occupy was doing anything before.

You obviously don't have children.

 

[GIZBUG]

Gm coming soon

Really?

 

[macintoshmac]

Some adults have children. And young relatives. And other acquaintances that will spam them, however innocent their intentions might be.

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out how this can become a major annoyance.

That spamming then points to a bigger problem that Apple cannot be expected to play chaperone to. If parenting is flawed, is it Apple that should do something about it?

 

[Dissident111]

Still has the folder view bug. Click on a folder and click out really quick and the display gets distorted for a second. Annoying - I know just don't do it.

 

[macintoshmac]

Sounds like the issue lies elsewhere then. After all people can be calling your phone and leaving stupid voicemails, or ringing your door bell and running away, but those aren't really issues with the phone or the doorbell, right?

This! Cannot emphasise such attitude enough! You have my respect, C DM!

Besides not cluttering up the UI in a useless distracting manner? No, nothing at all.

 

[macintoshmac]

Yes!

Are you sure? Fresh sign in working flawlessly across Outlook and Word? This would mean I can jump on the beta wagon again!

 

[Johnny907]

You don't have to use them? Seems a ways off from "forced".

Can I turn them off or remove the buttons? No? Huh, sounds pretty forced then.

 

[Unggoy Murderer]

I do, but I raised them to be respectable people. *shrugs*

Okay, how would you have implemented them?

Except they do take up space. Primarily using my phone with my left hand since I am left-handed it is taking a little getting used to that I need to tap on the right half of the screen to be able to type. The same can be said for the lock screen, if you use your left thumb to swipe notifications I end up going to the widgets page and not unlocking the phone.

TL;DR Fanboys stop being fanboys and thinking you and Apple are the most perfect things in the world.

 

[Zoddino]

I'm installing it too, this is the second time I'm trying an iOS beta cycle starting with beta 6 (first with iOS 7). But now with Public Betas what happens when final is out, the device automatically gets the latest bits OTA right? Wanted to be sure about it

Good luck with Android then. Try deleting the gmail app off an android device if you don't use gmail. Is Google forcing gmail down your throat then? Or is it okay because they're google and not apple?
Not all things were made especially for any one of is, everything is going to have something that we deem superfluous. Just because those things exist doesn't mean they're being forced down our throats...

or put another way, just because something is being forced down our throat by one company doesn't mean another company isn't going to force something else down our throats.

 

[MacOSXI]

Hmmm weird, update showing up on my iPad Air 2 but not on my iPhone SE although i restarted it and everything ! Anyone ?

 

[blacktape242]

for the most part even the last beta was running good, I was having issues with the touch ID and a few other very small things. I hope there are some good fixes in here despite its 80mb size.

Android is still arse! It sucks, is ugly, and the battery life is still crap. The theming looks like little kids made them. That is the only thing missing from the iPhone is a fresh UI. - but the current one is clean and professional looking (not like an ape did the UI for Android). I have an S6 sitting in my drawer used for 2 days I will sell you for $300.

The day when Emoji requires 4 gbs or more of hard space of your ios devices......

I use and prefer iOS (and the broader Apple set of devices), but have no real issues with Android beyond subjective differences in taste (maybe a little bit of an issue with security on Android too). To each their own. I'll sit here and enjoy iOS and macOS and those who like Android can sit over there and enjoy their android devices! Their using android (or some user choosing to switch for silly/justified reasons) doesn't really impact me so live and let live, and all the other platitudes.

I agree about the stupid Emoji for kids but I just don't use them.

That was aimed at Nope
