Curious about performance since it's so smooth already on 10.2. Looking forward to impressions.

I was wondering if it was just me lol. My 7 Plus seems much quicker and smoother since the update

Yup. My 7 Plus is smooth as butter. Runs flawlessly actually. So hesitant to keep testing betas unless major improvement

The build number is 14D10.

Why is it 1.92GB for a .1 update?

 

[GrievingFob606]

Nice, but I'm not going to download this beta. Waiting for iOS 10.3 beta 1 in the January.

 

[funkdoc23]

Is resetting you keyboard not actually doing anything for anyone else?

 

[dannyyankou]

Is there still a delay when closing apps on the 7 plus?

Do pages not turn white anymore in safari?

Why is it 1.92GB for a .1 update?

As an early beta, it probably includes instrumented components so Apple can easier diagnose issues with the changes being made – it's (likely) the same reason why a final (or close-to-final) developer release is similarly large, as you're going from an instrumented build to a non-instrumented build.

Thanks for coming out.

No label bug returns.

 

[GrievingFob606]

Lol, why do you say that? What for?

 

[atlchamp]

No label bug returns.

What no label bug

 

[batting1000]

Multitasking glitch seems to be fixed so far. Going to multitasking is much smoother and a more consistent animation

 

[tech_apple]

What no label bug

Open control center and pull up, then press home button while pull up. labels are gone.

Same here. But I would update in a heartbeat if I knew they had fixed the ever annoying Bluetooth audio skipping.

Thanks for the update!

My iPad Air 2 has a glitch where the keyboard locks up in landscape. Turning it to portrait and back to landscape fixes it. Odd. PB tester here. I hope this beta fixes this glitch.

 

[Deeznuts.]

Wow animations seems so much faster & smoother.

 

[VSMacOne]

Same here. But I would update in a heartbeat if I knew they had fixed the ever annoying Bluetooth audio skipping.

I never had this happen in my car or using my PowerBeast. But the other night I was playing music thru my Vizio sound bar and it was skipping like crazy!

 

[batting1000]

Wow animations seems so much faster & smoother.

Literally...what a difference, especially in multitasking

 

[christian.terra]

Open control center and pull up, then press home button while pull up. labels are gone.

Can't reproduce this.

 

[andy.ringwood]

People always say this... it's the same.

 

[Simacca]

Installed on iPad Pro 9.7. App switcher is still a stuttery mess. Not really noticed any changes yet.
