iOS 10.3 Beta 7: Changes, Bug Fixes and Enhancements

[Rgarita11]

After every beta update, I find that battery is terrible. So I turn off and on, and it seems to correct it.. Happens to anyone of you guys?

So I think beta 7 is better then 6 in terms of performance and now it's on par with beta 5. I'm very satisfied with this beta.

Since 10.3 beta 2, every time I've got a "Not enough storage space" message, iOS' cache cleaning has been much better. Seeing 1 GB worth of space being cleared up. Seems like the benefit of APFS.

Earlier iOS' cache cleaning was a hit or miss and wouldn't clear up all of the cached files.

Which app are you using to clear the cache??? AFAIK, there are no 10.3 compatible cache cleaning apps on the App Store, all the "well known" cleaner apps which I had, did absolutely nothing.

Magic Cleaner (Daniel Anderson) says its 10.3 compatible, and did clear the cache by about 1GB, but this app bricked my iPhone 6 three times whilst running, requiring a full DFU restore!!!!

As mentioned early in this thread, WiFi calling not kicking in for me so far. Unusual (3uk)

Wifi Calling working normal for me (AT&T iPhone 7). Came on within one minute of install boot.

What app did you use to speed test this connection? I would like to download. Thanks.

For me battery was impressive in beta 5 and is back to that in 7. For unknown reasons battery had taken a hit in beta 6.

Positive that nothing like that is enabled. Try it again wth the following info. 3D Touch on an app that is on the top half of your screen and an app that doesn't present a "widget" when pressed (so you can still see the icon after 3D touching). 3D Touch Then tap somewhere else on the screen to dismiss the 3D Touch. During the animation that brings you back to your home screen, you will see the icon that you had 3D touched will shift slightly to properly orient it in line with the other apps. Happens every time with different amounts of shift for different apps. Completely fixed in beta 6 but is back in beta 7.

Not seeing this on my 6s.

Can confirm that it's there. The icon shifts slightly after the blur of 3DT disappears

Not happening on a 7+.

I wonder if it's specific to three uk... Or it could just be issue with my current location.. or indeed the three service

Update... It does work. Three may have tweaked priorities or I was unlucky. Disabled 3g and WiFi calling connected. It was always meant to be on low signal but consistently flickered on at home!

You're right, I can see that, it's very minor and it goes to the left, but I can see it

I was thinking of a much more dramatic thing I've seen before

The network signal is much better than all the earlier betas on 6s. Never got this speeds earlier.
Edit: no network drop since boot.

What's the app that you use to measure?

Yeah, it's subtle and not really bothersome. I'm just curious what fixed it in beta 6 only to be back in beta 7. Oh well. 10.3 > 10.2.1

That question was just answered in the previous post in the thread.

The battery life on beta 6 was better than beta 7 on my iphone 6

With all the performance regressions and battery issues in iOS 10, MacOS Sierra, and other recent Apple software releases - I'd actually prefer if Apple took time off new features (except Siri - that's in desperate need of brain surgery) and truly refined and optimized the existing OSs and fixed the inordinate amount of bugs that have been present for a long time now.

Agree, we need that so-called Snow Leopard release.

Reporting it to mods with a request for that would probably be the way to go about it.

For at least several beta releases, going into a story in the News app does not restore the previous scroll position of the story. The 10.2.1 version of News does not have this problem. I've seen this bug in at least the last few beta releases on both iPads and iPhones. I reported the bug a few builds ago.

Persistent scroll position and persistent UI in general is something that subtly sets Apple apart so it really bugs me. Anyone else seeing this?

The News app is horrible on my 7+ in this beta. Very slow to refresh. Gets stuck loading. A little better on iPad.

Strongly disagree. For most people, iOS 10 has been a highly stable and good release. There are always outliers, but the fate of the entire OS should not be determined by the bad experiences of a relative few.

I would hold off, my wifi now cuts in and out non stop

I'm having the same issue with my iPhone 6S Plus and 12.9 inch iPad Pro. Didn't have issues with Beta 6.

iMessage read receipt bug is still there. Also in mac 10.12.4 beta 7. I`ve send maybe 20 bug report, but nothing happened to this bug.
