Sort of. The login window launches, but Smart Keyboard input is still disabled in the login field. Switch to the on-screen keyboard, and you'll have to tap a few times, but eventually you'll get signed in. Once you do, the Smart Keyboard seems to behave normally in-app.
Big EMOJIS for the win! I'm not kidding that this will be a big improvement. Folks are using them all the time. And I can barely see the difference between the little faces on my phone.
Updating on 6S+ and I think it might be frozen on the apple screen with the white bar... the white bar is full but nothing is happening for the past 10 minutes... happening to anyone else?
Quick update... my phone is now bricked. Update with caution. Keep getting the connect to itunes screen even after restoring.
Well, you can turn them off the animations by enabling reduce motion. As far as buttons, there are also buttons there already for things like voice messaging and the like which already take up space and by far aren't something that's used by everyone. That said, I certainly agree that having separate controls for things of this nature (and many others) would be welcome.
And, again, not using something that is there and thus having effectively the same experience as before, isn't really what would get associated with "forced". I mean if you are saying you are "forced" simply to have the ability to use these things being there, then I guess you can say that, but going beyond that it's kind of like saying that because "airplane mode" exists on the device that means it's "forced" on you as far as your device not having connectivity because that's what happens when airplane mode is used.
Seems like the whole kind of overblown "forced" thing and all that is kind of taking away from a much more realistic and more basic aspect of it all--additional and optional controls for more things in iOS.

Have a nice time with robot responses with Google Allo...
Disable it if you want by using the reduce motion option. Having the option to disable it is definitely a good thing. Making a mountain out of a molehill of how all of this will affect someone that won't use this and won't really have people using with them, that's somewhat different.
Many people have been talking about the whole "childish" thing with iOS 7 redesign and what that brought...and yet here we are some years later with many people finding that design as a great modern design calling the previous one outdated and childish and all that.

When the iPhone announcement event takes place--basically something that has been known and expected even before iOS 10 betas.

They've been doing weekly betas when it comes closer to the release for a number of releases now.
Now now, we should all be more accepting of others choices and indeed thankful that Android exists. After all without Android we wouldn't realise just how good iOS really is
I kid of course, before all the droiders get up in arms, no, wait, I don't, go find your own bloody forum
Ok, serious this time. There's nothing wrong with Android, if that's your sort of thing. I for one hope it continues, without Android there'd likely be no real dominant single force of competition for Apple and competition is very important. Do none of us remember how crap pretty much every OS was prior to the introduction of the iPhone. Not to mention that practically every manufacturer had their own closed systems. The iOS/Android days are much better.
Oh and of course not forgetting Windows Phone, hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
For what it's worth, I just installed PB5 on my iPad Air 2 and I can use Word and Outlook just fine. Didn't even need to sign in again. I hope it works for you.
Thought iOS 10 was super exciting.
But last night, I decided to give what the "cool kids" do a shot. Rolled back my iPhone 6s Plus to 9.3.3 (they're still signing it) and jailbroke for the first time in my life.
Yeah... I can see why people jailbreak now. I don't care for themes and stuff, but some of the small tweaks I have found... THEY are what iOS 10 needs, not an App Store for Messages to get kitty sticker packs.
Speeding up animations, volume change indicator in the status bar (not a giant popup), the ability to downgrade iOS apps to a previous version, dismissing of breadcrumbs, being able to see detailed cellular info (like LTE band, RSRP, SNR... stuff like this matters to me as I'm eyeing a pending B12 launch in my area), the ability to customize control center (for instance, NOT showing media control when no media is playing), setting default apps, a close all tabs button in Safari, etc...
Basically adding all of the common sense features iOS SHOULD have, but doesn't... plus a few more developer-oriented things.

No the phone app and notes app neither would actually let you click to use it. It would open but if tap on the contact or the note it would do nothing. Several reported that behavior in the b4 fixes thread. Adding either app to the widgets would make them work. If removed from widget it would go back to no longer working. As stated it would open but not respond to a tap afterwards.Not sure if I understand you correctly, but I think it has been like that since the beginning. At least, I've been able to use 3D Touch on those without having them as widgets.
okay thats currently happening to me with the not able to update/restore from itunes. heres hoping that it finally figures itself out and completes the update
They leaving because iMessages is iOS only and most people switched/switching to other phones. samsung etc. Me for example really jealous for S7 waterproof/weatherproof option or as you can use phone when screen is wet. It's not a big deal, but when you cycle it's really good thing to be able to use map etc. And not to carry your phone in plastic bag when it's raining. So probably switch from imessages tooo
