iOS 10 on iPhone 6 - Post Your Experiences

Honestly not a big fan of control center. Don't like 'cards' for music and such; I thought it was fine as it was. Took me awhile to figure out that 'raise to wake' was auto-enabled, and I couldn't figure out why my phone kept waking up even though nothing was being pressed. Notification Center is ok.

I'm trying to figure out why Wallet is an option under iCloud on my iPhone, but not my iPad Air. At work, I updated some info in the wallet app on my iPhone, assuming the iCloud option would sync said info to my iPad; it did not.

Music app is an improvement for me in some areas, not so much in others (no song ratings?)

iCloud used to back up my purchased books to iCloud backup in iOS 7 and 8, something that wastes my purchased data (and at the time, my free 5GB) because the books could already be downloaded from the purchased section. Backing the whole book as part of an iCloud backup was redundant and a waste of space. It would be like backing up an entire purchased app instead of only its data. That problem seemed to be fixed in iOS 9, as the size of my iBooks backup was rather small, only backing up my non-purchased books and PDF's (as it should). Now, it seems the issue is back as my iBooks backup has increased to several times it original size.

Another problem with iBooks, it seems updates to books don't sync back to the desktop app. I always get a "iTunes has found purchased items" message when I update a book on my device, which leads me to believe its syncing the update to iBooks. But when I open iBooks on the Mac, the updates have not transferred. Also, I'd like to be able to see what updates a book contains on my iDevice, much like you can see what updates an app contains.

The new photos app seems really cool (especially since all of its detection is being done on the device), but it's taking forever, and it appears each device has to go through some scanning process before the features sync up. And I'm assuming we will have to wait for Sierra on the Mac before any features sync over to the desktop.

I do like the News app, I'm much more likely to use it now, and I think the notifications it has are cool. The new home app actually makes me want to use some devices with it now. I like Apple Music's interface and integration? 3D Touch is better utilized. Siri integration with third party apps should be great as time goes on...

Quite a mixed bag for me.
 
So far everything is running smoothly. It did seem a bit off for the first 5 minutes, but I've been using it all day now and haven't found any issues.

Well, lucky you. I did not just lose all my text replacements but also my settings app freezes if I just try to enter the replacements.
[doublepost=1473815319][/doublepost]Edit: Try turning your phone off and on again with the normal off switch. After I did that my text replacements showed up.

Nope , I tried that but no joy . I've contacted  . I'll wait for my iPhone 7 to see if thing change or not .
 
Like Force touch on apps like messages, mail, etc. Just wondering if you miss out on features since the 6 doesn't support force touch. I saw that there are now home screen widgets. Is there a way to add them without force touch?

no, the force touch on app icons feature is not possible on the 6. however bear in the mind that the widget that appears when you do this is the same as the one of the widget screen. so you're not missing out on the widget, just on one handy way to access it.
 
I'm loving it so far. Updated my 6 plus, runs smooth along with my first gen iPad Air.

So zero issues to report thus far on either devices.
 
Loving it so far, no issues for me. I Just updated my 6+, havent updated the iPads just yet.

Battery Life too early to tell.
 
Working nicely on my iPhone 6, it's a bit snappier in some cases, it definitely is not slowing things down or causing me regret. I find that Siri is doing a much better job of interpreting my speech into text and getting to the widgets is easy now and might make me want to actually use them.

As far as the new UI goes, it's the same sad situation as the iPhone 7. Very little new innovation, just a coat of paint, some tweenage toys for iMessage, some overly bright lock screen notifications, and a lot of needless hype. I can't think of a single feature that I would miss if I were forced to revert to iOS 9. Pretty sad.

My phone is slightly more sluggish. Battery is not improved. I agree that the lock screen new fonts aren't as nice. Glad I upgraded but as I usually find, slightly underwhelmed.

So does this mean that raise to wake is enabled on iPhone 6 and 6+? I thought it was disabled in earlier betas; I'm glad to hear that Apple brought it back though. 🙂
 
I'm running a 128GB iPhone 6, and my son has a 16GB 6+, and we have both been running since about public beta 2, and no problems at all. A few little things that take a bit of getting used to, but overall I like the OS, and really it's not that different from 9, just a few small additions

No, that's only in the S versions of the phone, not the original 6/6+

Darn. I figured since this thread was dealing specifically with iPhone 6 and the post I quoted mentioned it. Oh well! Thanks for confirming. 🙂
