“Music” by Drake. Seems like a legit response 😉

Seriously though, I don’t use that feature that often but any time I have it’s worked ok. I’m not a good sample though.

I knew somebody would judge me for using Drake as an example. That wasn’t the point of the post 🙄

Either way I tried Glen Campbell who just passed away unfortunately or any artist for that matter and the function for Siri says it doesn’t understand. That was the point of that. This is a forum about beta bugs, not judging people for the music they listen to. Thank you and have a great day. 😉

I actually like a few Drake tracks but this is Macrumors so who can resist the chance to mock someone’s musical taste, or react in faux horror at their unread Mail account when the opportunity arises 😛

(All in good fun)

lol

In all seriousness I don't think Siri being unreliable is necessarily a beta feature, though I expect they are fiddling with the backend a bit.

At least she sounds great while not working now! 😉

Yeah, sometimes I notice when using Siri, basic requests from iOS 10 don’t work, and the next day it works just fine. Or the next beta. They seem to like to mess with her a lot.
 
If I pause my music by removing my AirPods and then re-insert them later, double tap and tell Siri “resume playing” she says “hmmm let’s check the tv app”. Worked fine in previous betas. Perhaps I need to be more specific now than before.

I added this to the first post but here's a very in depth walk through of 90+ tweaks and new features:


And by tweaks, I mean tweaks. They literally walk you through every little spacing, description, etc change in the new beta. I find it to be really interesting to see how Apple is iterating.

his videos like this annoy me. I mean when he got to the part where he showed that the health icon was a tiny bit brighter than beta 4 I was done LMAO. He finds so many stupid minutia changes it’s ridiculous. ‍♂️‍♂️‍♂️

Able to screenshot the new shortcuts? Holding down command?

sure

What are they? It doesn’t even show the shortcut sheet on holding Command, which is pretty crappy.

Uhm...probably a bug, because it works on my 12.9 (I attached a screenshot)

Yeah it worked later on and I posted it. Head scratcher 😕

Here they are. Unless I’m missing a way to go in to select mode on the keyboard they seem pretty crappy though. You have to enter select mode by tapping the screen then tap each file individually (unless you want to select all of them with Command A) before Copy, Duplicate and Delete do anything or make any sense. At that point you may as well just tap the same buttons on the screen. Keyboard workflow for Files needs a LOT of work to be useful.

Weirdly enough I tried holding down Command earlier to see these and it didn’t work. Seems to work ok now though.

Yeah, it's quite sad that Apple takes time to remove a line from the camera icon or round some corners in the CC by a couple of pixels instead of focusing on fixing real bugs and slowdowns.
Click to expand...
different teams handle each... removing lines on camera icon does not take any time away from fixing bugs. completely different engineers/designers/teams

This beta is pretty stable for me, almost GM worthy. Don't get me wrong, there's some bugs here and there, but it's mostly pretty stable, quick, and I'm not really having anything annoy me or negatively impact my experience.

It’s no where near GM ready

Agreed. Out of the blue, my iPhone 7 Plus just locked up. Had to hard reboot, using the power button pressed simultaneously with the volume down button.

I've been hearing repeatedly iOS 11 hasn't been that good on 7Plus

On my 12.9 it's not been bad ever but smoother than ever.

Won't touch it on iPhone anyways. On 10.1.1 JAILBROKEN

Agreed somewhat I think he goes way overboard on this stuff though. The example I gave about the Health Icon is so stupid LOL. Also this icon got bolder, this 3D Touch platters corners are more rounded off than the previous betas. Like really?!

You know that Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are not a problem for planes, right? That’s despite popular belief otherwise. Cellular should be turned off, though. That’s why it’s so important that Apple is unlinking Airplane mode from Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connection.
[doublepost=1502202305][/doublepost]Exactly!

Exactly! I’m so tired of people proclaiming their tribal belief that Wi-Fi or Bluetooth is going to influence an airplane. FFS...
Click to expand...

While Bluetooth and Wi-Fi are technically not a problem for airplanes, several European airlines ask you to turn off wireless transmitting features on laptops, including cordless mice.

So there still are countries where this is relevant, at least from a regulatory perspective. Technically it's irrelevant.
 
Is the date missing from widgets screen (homescreen, not notification widgets) for others?

Ever since I had bug with animation sliding from right (previous betas), the date has been missing from widgets screen.
