iOS 10.2 Dev Beta 1 Changes, Bugs, and Fixes

[TL24]

Can anyone check to see if the watercolor noise reduction is any better on the camera?

Still the same, really disappointed in Apple for doing this again. iOS 9.3 toned it down only to have them jack it back up!

"Lock Camera Lens" option to not automatically switch between camera lenses when recording video. This is to prevent the brief but noticeable exposure shift "pop" when the 7 Plus lenses switch.

View attachment 669435

What this option enabled means in practice is:
- If you start recording video on the 1X lens, you can zoom past the 2X threshold, but it is digital zoom because the camera doesn't switch over to the 2X lens.

- If you start recording video on the 2X lens, you cannot zoom out lower than 2X because the camera doesn't switch over to the 1X lens.

It does prevent the exposure "pop" issue from when the lens exposures don't match completely though.

This looks lame, but at least we have this option now! Hope they will refine it further down the line!

Eventually, they’ll discover that they had this figured out all along, since iOS 1.0. Seriously though, it looks as though they re-added this feature only due to customer demand, not because they were convinced of it.

Any overall speed/performance changes on iPhone 7?

The app switcher is smooth again on my 6s!

Still crappy on iPad Pro

Emojipedia has published an article about new emojis in iOS 10.2.

Supposedly Notification Center and Today/widget screen behavior might have been changed back to what it was like before, per https://forums.macrumors.com/threads...-2-to-developers.2011326/page-6#post-23835495 Anyone else seeing the same thing?

True! Just tried that out, and it indeed stays on widgets pane when selected before. Good job Apple! Really missed that.

Is no one gonna rant about the fact that the new wallpapers are only for the 7/7 plus ???

I have to say, with all the changes/fixes in this first beta of iOS 10.2 I'm already looking forward to its release and hoping that it will be out (much) sooner rather than later.

Same here, especially that keyboard fix! Hopefully it drops before the holidays. If PB comes out this week, that is a good sign.

Did we have the ability to sort playlists before?

 

[teddybearstand]

Wow this update literally addresses all of my issues with iOS at the moment. Bravo, Apple (except those ugly star ratings..hm)

 

[Dontcallmetiger]

Dammit. The folder background used to be black when using the png for the wallpaper. Is no more ‍♂️

Any news on Bluetooth in the car? any lagging, skipping, speeding up audio?

Still waiting for the option to group notifications by app to be reintroduced in iOS 10...

what were all your issues? just curious please

 

[foxconn]

Someone post high res of the new wallpapers please

 

[Simacca]

Overall usage on my 6s is noticeably smoother now. Very slick.

 

[Menopause]

Could somebody please check if the keyboard click sound on iPhone 7/7Plus are loud again? They were very muted and inaudible in comparison to 6/6s/Plus on iOS 10 - 10.1.

 

[furbzv1]

because im not patient.. downloaded the config file and phone is updating.

Just to add to this, I know its been mentioned that notification centre - the widget screen stays if last used. It appears its even better then that, the widget screen remembers exactly where you are whether using the notification centre widgets, lock screen widgets or the homescreen widgets to the left. Try scrolling to the bottom of widgets, notice its remembered where you left off in all of those places mentioned.

They added: voice control disable, music star ratings, camera preserve settings (was pretty annoying), NC center remembers last viewed page (widgets or notifications)... there may be more. I'll see as I continue to use the beta.
