Apple Seeds Third Beta of iOS 10.1 to Developers and Public Testers

Because most TVs and monitors are square?

Or people could just stop being morons and shoot video in its proper orientation. Like not allowing you to hit record till the phone is in landscape.

I haven't been following the beta track to much but I downgraded from iOS 10.0.2 to 10.0.1 because of how much my battery tanked. I don't plan on upgrading until I hear they resolved the battery issues with iOS 10.1.... whats the battery like on this and the earlier betas.

How did you go about downgrading to 10.0.1. My iPhone 6 starting acting squirrley after updating to 10.0.2 and I had to do a reset. My battery is still going down faster than before the update.

I would rather see square then have to turn my rectangle shaped monitor sideways.

You are saying it wrong. When you are looking at the email and you activate siri you just say "Remind me about this(insert time or location)" Just did it, works for me. You can even have it remind you when you get in the car.

Weird, that request worked for me in iOS9. But I get what you're saying and it's working, I guess I just had to rephrase it. Thanks for the help!

They did say it's a beta right? Just wait for the updates and stop complaining, I bet half you people are not even developers SMH.

I can not find the right emoji for this!

Every other build of iOS10 has been terrible on my yr old 6s. Around 5hrs of usage max. On 10.1 beta 2, im finally getting around 7hrs of usage.

Turning off rain to wake fixed all of that for me on the 6s

Public beta 3 on my 7 plus running super smooth. I noticed a big improvement from 2 in app switcher.

I just found a copy of the 10.0.1 ipsw i think on Redmondpie and help option when I clicked restore in iTunes and selected the file. They are still signing that update right now. I Then just restored from a backup. It appears the 10.0.2 backups work fine.

I hope they improve performance with this beta, my iPhone 6S Plus has never felt so slow with 10.1 beta 1 and 2...

It's called planned obsolescence

I don't know if this is the case, but I'm betting iOS unpacks the update, then creates a new copy of the system partition to apply the update to. Then once the update is applied, it swaps the new copy with the old copy and reboots.

Correct me if I'm wrong but this is how *I* would do it. This way you can verify the integrity of the new system and do the update with less risk of ending up with an unbootable device.

The 600MB is probably the temporary copy of the system partition.

Makes sense. You're probably right. Next update I'm going to check the storage usage again after downloading but before allowing it to install.

Hm havent thought of that. My standby times are fine though.

It's able real case usage thought. Forget those apps.

Not quite sure what you mean but i had it checked at the apple store (takes 2 weeks avg of batt capacity reading)

Anyone else having issues updating from beta 2 OTA? Have an iPhone 7 Plus stuck in a update/reboot loop. It acts like it is updating and reboots as expected, then prompts to update again. Even selecting the "update later" option causes it to immediately reboot and try to update again. Then it reboots, Settings has the red "1" badge, it prompts to update, and repeat.

I did. Cancel the update later, say remind me later or something. Then go into settings, general, and then hit install from later.

Other features should have included a unified Control Centre, serious debugging and optimization for devices older than the iPhone 7(+), and a good hand of polish (typography, notifications, UI elements, haptic inconsistencies). iOS 10 still feels like it never exited the summer beta phase, and is arguably the worst piece of software Apple has released since the first Maps. I'm not holding out much hope until iOS 12 to be honest.

Yes. I noticed it and downloaded minutes ago

I disagree, out of the gate iOS 10 is pretty darn good. Followed by iOS 9. iOS 8 is arguably the worst software ever released. I'm liking iOS 10.

If bubbly space-wasting notifications, a needlessly divided Control Centre, a fugly Music app, jumbo sized fonts and UI elements, mis-aligned frames, remapped swipe functions and an anaemic battery are your thing, sure, what's there not to like.

.... lots others beg to differ (10.0.2 battery life site:discussions.apple.com) and a downgrade fixed the problem and I restored from a backup so it wasn't a problem located in my apps or settings either. Their was clearly an issue. It may not effect everyone but there is a problem with 10.0.2

I am sure, however, that if and when 10.1 fixes your battery problem, far from all reporting battery issues with 10.0.2 will report that theirs are also fixed. Point being that there are so many ways software faults can cause battery problems that there almost never is the 'one' problem and the 'one' fix.

Yep. I like them. About time iOS got some character. And I get good battery life as well. Different strokes for different folks.

a.k.a. conspiracy theory

If you call clunky 2005 Symbian looks "character".. ugh ok, whatever rocks your boat. More like lack thereof. As for the battery, you may consider yourself lucky not to have encountered any issues. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

That's a conspiracy theory that has no basis in fact. If it was true then iPhone resale value wouldn't be so high and my iPhone 5 wouldn't work just fine on the latest OS.

Public beta has been released as well. Downloading now.
