As is, in my experience, customary on these forums, I always fully expect every iOS update to literally blow me.

Away.

But it seems I should've gone with the Note 7 for that. Oh well.
You won this thread, sir.

I side with the OP. iOS 10.1 should've brought back at least group notifications, editing up next and a way to completely remove the Today view from NC, LS and HS.

Geez, what kind of changes do you expect so soon after 10.0.1? Also, we're only on beta 1. It's impossible to tell what changes Apple is planning on making by the end of the beta process for 10.1.

I get that but apart from that 1 feature it should at least have more than just bug fixes so much could be changed on ios 10 to make it amazing just seems like a.1 that doesnt have anything new
Just because there could be more doesn't mean there isn't a new feature there that corresponds to what would typically be a minor release.

It feels like Apple has taken a step backwards with iOS 10.1, offering an iOS6-esuqe update style (aka, adding nothing).

So far, it's looking like the ONLY thing that 10.1 is adding the the portrait mode that we already knew about. Nothing else. That's very disappointing, especially for non-7 Plus owners (which when you factor in the amount of iOS 10 devices, is a very large amount).

Apple has previous done some very great stuff with their .X updates. The entire lifespan of iOS 9 showed that they were dedicated to continuing to add new features and functionality with every .X update. This is seen best with 9.1 with 150+ new emoji, and 9.3, which added Password notes, Night Shift, and a load of education features.

iOS 7.1 updated the UX design. 4.2-3 and 8.1 added nice small visual changes, and some small feature additions. 3.1 and 5.1 changed the system in noticeable ways (in terms of functionality), and heck 8.2 and 8.4 added an entire new SERVICE and new apps.

The fact that 10.1 adds literally nothing to non 7+ owners makes it feel more like it should be iOS 10.0.2, and a build that's only for the 7+, not a whole version upgrade.

TL;DR: Apple has historically used the .X upgrades to introduce multiple new features and system changes that can apply to all devices, not one feature that only one device benefits from.

Patience. Let some more betas roll in. If they still don't add anything, we will join you in the rant. ;)

Not really sorry. Not for the 1 promised feature added and some bug fixes within 1 week of iOS10 even being released.

Not sure what you all are expecting for MAJOR changes within 1 week. That's just unreasonable.

Since nothing is horrible about the actual update itself, this thread shouldn't be called
iOS 10.1, in terms of what's new, is a horrible update

It should be called

iOS 10.1, in terms of what's new, is a horrible number

Okay, Apple made a mistake and made this a .X update and angered the 7 users (which I doubt actually).

Let's move on with life.

I do not understand your response. Was it to me or him? Because I was saying the same thing as you in a lighter indirect tone is all!

just really the fact no one should be ranting at all. Its a fast update and adding a major feature for 7 Plus users, and thus got a .1 update designation.

This argument over the numbering is just the dumbest thing I've seen debated on here ever.

What? The iphone 7 plus has been out for 5 days. They are quickly adding a feature promised at the 9/8 event. A new feature typically has gotten a .x update.

Your gripe makes no sense. It will not be the only iOS10 beta by any stretch

You'll never please some people. Just leave him. Adding this feature is no easy feat. It'll take a lot of work.

True. It is just the first beta, and just a week or two post the GM. This argument over numbering and lack of features is indeed being over-critical and unreasonable. Which is what I was saying to the OP.

And this thread is EXACTLY why the public shouldn't have access to betas.

It's the same reason United Airlines did away with the Channel 9 - ATC Channel on the audio systems in-flight... was a super cool channel you could listen to communication between the plane and air traffic controllers, but too many armchair pilots listening in and complaining about things they hear that they think they understand but don't and freaked out.

So what's to say now Apple doesn't just go to 10.2 next, then 10.3? Are you going to create a whiny thread next year when Apple calls the new phone iPhone 8? Since it'll make your iPhone 7 seem even older?

I wish Apple would go back to limiting betas to devs only. The public beta thing is annoying because it causes thousands of threads on forums complaining about features not working right. Uneducated people like the OP download it thinking it's a final release, or thinking Apple owes them more features. And when the features don't work, they scream bloody murder.

Get over it.

Yep, they may have to have only one or no more betas for 10.1 to push it out since this was a promised feature for when, Fall? Most people don't load betas and they will want to get the 'portrait' functionality out ASAP.

We may have to wait for betas for 10.1.1 or 10.2.0 (depending on numbering) for real tweaking and bug-fixing like we're used to after a new release.

Although I do not agree with the premise of your argument, OP, I want to apologize for the responses you have gotten. The amount of vitriol on the internet these days is saddening, I think the election is causing everyone to be extremely combative.

Maybe they will give us new (live) wallpapers? I know I know there are billions of wallpapers on the internet and new wallpapers are not the "features" you were looking for but... well... it's something ...
