Although the battery life is great on my i7, I found one kinky animation bug: when inside an app from the second page or above of the homescreen, when pressing the home button twice, first to exit the app and again to go back to the first page of the homescreen. That last action misses the animation.
Battery life seems decent on this build. Just watched a couple videos and played some games on my SE, got 6 hours screen-on, 6 hours standby (mostly music), all that and still I have around 40% left.
I've been using the same wallpaper since 12.1, no issues on my SE. I think it's a 7/7 Plus related issue.

1.6GB backup here, iTunes probably isn't updated to support 10.3 fully yet, so it'll have issues. I have no issues with my iCloud backups, but as the release notes state, nightly backups don't seem to be happening at all for me. Manual backup works fine even if I lock my screen after pressing 'Back up now'.

Apps that don't have a splash screen have that issue too. I'm not too bothered though, since it is a beta and there should be bugs present.

I've noticed that before 10.3, specially at 10.2 latest version, if you go to the list of opened apps, you can close the apps even before the animation completes. Now in 10.3 you have to wait to animation completes (the screen becomes like locked, i dont how to explain, it becomes irresponsive).
Dang, nice find. Tried and tested on 6S+.
Overall I will say this is best Beta 1 thus far. Everything fluid and responsive. Hopefully battery also an improvement over 10.2.
iCloud backups not automatically being made is a deal breaker for me. Thanks for pointing that out.
Not sure if coincidence, but I DFU'd back to 10.2.1 and when setting up the phone again it would get stuck at 'it may take a few minutes to activate your iPhone...' activation. I reset it multiple times but it would always stop there. Come to find out it was because of 2 factor authentication. I would always get the 6 digit code, but it still would stop there. It's never happened before, but after I disabled 2 factor it went through fine.

OK help me out here, isn't this upside down? Just curious.
I can confirm that this is a "good" wallpaper and will make your iPhone 7 Plus run smoother.

I suppose you could view that as a significant improvement in the Geekbench 3 Multi-core score.

Just was in Apple Music streaming rotated the phone and the music app crashed, went into activity app and boom another crash.
Of course rebooted phone and can't make it crash again. (I hate intermittent bugs!)

iCloud do backup for me on my iPhone 7 and iPad Air 1gen
I believe this is also new: when you have the option "announce calls" enabled Siri now first say the first, then the last name.
Before it always said "Last name, first name" (although I let sort my contacts by first name).
Also it is way less "robotic" (at least in German) and the voice sounds very natural.

Nope. The current implantation on macOS is for developers and can't be used for things like booting. It also can't be used with Fusion Drives or Time Machine.
