I wonder if there are any noticeable changes. 150+ MB over Beta 1. Can't imagine its much visual, but more under the hood.

Interesting. Now we need to slow down the animation to 120fps to see what happens.

[SMIDG3T]

Bit random but they need to add "Pull to Refresh" on the Software Update page. Still not seeing it. 7.

Couple emoji fixes...gay pride flag works now. The two columns of families next to the clothing now work, too.

Still can't adjust the skin tone on the handshake emoji though.

Emergency SOS setting.

Very cool feature.

 

[Mlrollin91]

I hope this fixes watch notifications. I heard they were wonky in 10.2B1. I'm very tempted to play the beta game again, but don't want to mess up my watch again.

Not seeing the TV app on iphone. Must only be TVos and iPad?

 

[Bathplug]

Someone post proof the animations are fixed for iphone 7. Because people say it's fixed every beta when it's not fixed.

Someone will have to use Quicktime to copy the video and then run it through iMovie to slow it down.

No one is going to go through that effort.

Post proof People need to put it on their phone and see for themselves.

 

[Richardgm]

New splash screen in Music Now Playing and bigger shuffle and repeat buttons.

Jayson A and I have gone through the effort. Because it benefits the community. It takes maybe 5 minutes. Its the only way tot prove that it has been fixed. The animation is running 6 frats at 60fps, so .1 of a second. Sometimes the naked eye cannot see .1 second of movement.

The point was, orrrrrr actually install the beta? If it's not fixed it still doesn't anything hurt to update over Beta 1 regardless.

People are just lazy and demanding. And animations are subjective clearly.
