Still diggin' around for changes but the (Intel) firmware is still at 1.02.15 and the same can be said about the Carrier (AT&T) version too 27.0.1

What provider?

Nevermind I just saw TMobile didn't have a update to resolve the lte issues :-(

 

[Mlrollin91]

Same release notes as beta 5?

 

[VSMacOne]

Mine is actually going really fast for a change. Preparing to install after 20 seconds.

 

[TL24]

What provider?

My bad, updated my post but it's AT&T.

 

[madara889]

Updated in my iPhone 6... I will be back

 

[atlchamp]

installed. I dont see any major changes so far, anybody want me to check for bugs? If so, give me the step by step to replicate

 

[brooksdbrewer]

Updated on my Sprint 7+, Build number 14C90, Carrier version 27.0, Modem 1.33.00

 

[bmcfadden]

Build is 14C90

Sprint Carrier is 27.0

Modem Firmware (7+ QC) is 1.33.00

 

[DJLAXL]

Skipped Beta 5, didn't see the size of 6, but taking over 30 minutes to DL. Slowly but surely...

 

[AZhappyjack]

The iPhone 7 Plus is reporting build 14C90, not 14C91.

Release notes appear identical for B5 and B6. Either nothing changed that qualifies for a RN update, or somebody posted without updating them.

 

[thatJohann]

Might be placebo, but it does seem more fluid and fast than beta 5.

 

[ghostface147]

14C90, iPhone 6S Plus, verizon carrier 27 and firmware 2.41.00

 

[atlchamp]

very smooth and fluid on iphone 7 from initial observations

 

[Mlrollin91]

Anyone that has experienced the iTunes backup issue and have a computer present, can you test for me? Much appreciated.

14C90, iPhone 7 Plus
I couldn't find major differences (or even small ones) but the overall performance on iPhone 7 Plus is very smooth and fluid! Especially over 10.2 beta 5!

Yeah. This. It feels for me noticeably smoother than beta 5, like I immediately noticed when I unlocked my phone.

iOS 10.2 (14C90)

I agree. Only notice I have is touch id seems to wait just a half second longer than it used to to unlock my iPhone 7+
