Any of the bugs remain from 10.2.1 beta 1?
Background Refresh Bug?
Also, really hoping something with the iTunes backup has been addressed.

who needs "safari is snappier" when we got "animations are smoother"? just in time for 2017 too.
If I may ask what carrier are you on? I have three 7 Pluses and none exhibit any animation lag except in some minor cases where you have many apps open at once.
I can however confirm that Bluetooth has been problematic since 10.2.
That must be why they are still working on it.
It was terrible for me on 10 and 10.1, but a little bit better on 10.2.
The only time my iPhone 7+ has streamed flawlessly was with 10.2 beta 1 specifically.
Like what specifically from beta 1? (not including iTunes backup as I never have an issue backing up via iTunes). Background refresh bug? What is that about? I only have a few items set for background refresh and don't really know what bug I am looking for there. AFAIK its working fine.
According to beta 1 thread, "The annoying bug in Background App Refresh is back when you change a newly added app to off, exit settings and when you go back, all apps default back to on"
I only use BAR for a few things so don't want to upgrade if its going to be running for everything.
Hmm I have not see that either. But I am not regularly adding new apps either. So if that is when it happens I dunno. I did just go in and saw a few that were set to on that seem'ed to be ones that were updated recently so turned them off, exited and back in and nothing changed. So maybe it did fix it. Interesting that a few that updated recently got turned back on but it was only those not all apps.
Safari is broken for me. Does not display correctly and will not work with some web links. I had to download Chrome to edit this post.
[Update] Never mind. Found that the problem was a content blocker that I recently installed and set too many restrictions. Turned it off and all back to normal.

I have made several backups now on both b1 and b2 without getting the error message. All backups have completed successfully. Running iTunes 12.5.4 and Sierra 10.12.2. Looks like they finally fixed the problem!
Damn... I shouldn't have said something, just received the freaking error message... =(
Have you heard anything more from your bug report? Could they replicate it? I haven't heard a thing from the report that I sent...

Two observations with this build:
1) I think that the sound quality in the music app has changed, at least over Bluetooth. It sounds more muffled and compressed, for both locally stored and streamed music. I notice this easily, since I tend to listed to the same playlist. I checked the EQ settings, etc. Nothing has changed.
2) This build may have finally fixed the issue where the Music App loses it's place after disconnect, restart or phone reboot. For the first time, it is reconnecting and continuing to play the last played playlist/song, instead of defaulting to playing all of the songs in my library alphabetically (was really getting sick of hearing "Aaron Burr, Sir").

Also didnt mention but when Dave replied it hit me, I am using iTunes for Windows not MAC. Could be something to that I suppose regarding backups if you are also using MAC.
