SJ is dead, please don't pretend to reach across the worlds. Even though you said probably you still don't know.
Oh he's dead alright, and sales decline and innovation seems to be dead...

However, do you think Apple has (or you have) the perfect lineup with Ive and whoever else is behind iOS and iPhones?
Because heads are gonna roll for this (the decline), don't pretend like they're not

Lol, sales drop from 50b to 40b, the first drop in 5 years since TC and finally you get to be right that Apple is doomed?(sic)

Heads are not going to roll. Does Apple have the perfect lineup, of course not and they likely never will until the end of time. They are not going to make wholesale corrections, that's suicide. They are going to make minor adjustments along the way.

Totally off topic but no heads are going to roll. The market is SATURATED. Do some of you even know what that term means?

You simply cannot go on selling hundreds of millions of devices over and over every year at the same levels; eventually everyone who wants one has one and not everyone upgrades every year after that. No company that sells goods (not services which you need to pay for every month) can do it, just business/economics 101.

Common sense people and move on. Apple is FAR from dead.

Weird...Beta 3 battery is 10x better than Beta 1 and 2 for me. So strange how it differs so immensely between users. I assume we all have the "usual" battery tricks. Nothing extreme on my end. Auto brightness, BAR off, on wifi most of the day at work, T-Mo WiFi calling on, everything but FMi/WiFI calling on in location services, Usage is mostly all FB and Tubex. At 17hrs standby and 8 hrs usage with 39% left.

Animations still stutter, App updates seem to be working again, WiFi is working better, cellular data is still spotty and is on and off. I've had to Airplane cycle 2-3 times so far to get data working. I dont know but I'm ready for iOS 10 already. :oops:

The problem is they dont have a next generation in line...that's young and vibrant, and ready to learn from the old guard. it's turning into an old boys club of just veterans. Not good for a tech company that makes its bank from innovative products.
My opinion anyway.

contrast that with Alphabet. I don't like them as a company but they have succession plans done right.

Great news about the battery! I'm not using the beta but am suffering horrible battery life since 9.3.1 . Hopefully, more people start reporting things along these lines.

Well if the market is saturated and 2/3 of Apple's revenue comes from the iPhone, common sense may say otherwise.

When I try to send a picture via text message or iMessage on my iPhone 6S it won't send at all, I'm on WiFi, I tried ito send it on Verizon LTE & same thing. It would say not delivered & have the red exclamation point. It happens to all my messages & iMessage. I'm on the latest iOS 9.3.2 beta, anybody else having this issue or is it just Verizon?

Works for me too, and I'm on Verizon.

Try disabling LTE, rebooting, and enabling LTE again.

I had this happen for a few betas in a row some versions back, and that always fixed it.

I've had B3 for an hour now - still bad stuttering with 3D touch menus in landscape mode on my 6S Plus 128gb. I guess I'll live. No other issues yet.

Are those new to 9.3.2 or anything like that?

No, it's been there since my first 9.3 beta (B6). I've sent in several feedback reports. It's not a huge deal to me but I know how important it is to Apple to have a polished user interface.

I find myself wondering why I read through all of the comments here.

In a thread about BETA SOFTWARE, people are complaining that it's not up to GM standards. That's the entire point of the beta program; to find problems, submit feedback, and have the problems ironed out for the final release.

And all this "Apple is doomed" garbage has been spouted for 3+ years, and they're still doing fine. If you're worried about the ship sinking, feel free to jump into the ocean and find something better.

</rant>

Anyway, stuttering seems to be improved (iPhone 6, iPad Air 2). Way too early to tell about battery life. So far, I haven't found anything strange or broken. All in all, it's a mostly solid build.
