[SoN1NjA]

What device are you on?

yes, I'm curious as well, I don't notice studdering when scrolling through Messages on my 6s 10.2.1

 

[Sammydad1]

Just hoping the battery discharge rate is back to normal. This ip6 battery drains such that I almost need it on a charger 24/7 when I'm not using it, or it will be under 20% when I really need it !!

 

[willmtaylor]

Has the iPad Air2 Orientation Bug been fixed?

Nope. This bug, which is incredibly annoying, still resides.

Seriously, do the software engineers do anything all day long?

 

[Mudodonbond]

It the in app ratings new?

 

[SoN1NjA]

Instead of insulting, why don't you explain.

thank you, I think it was a very rude comment

Release Notes for iOS 10.3 beta 1

File System Conversion

When you update to iOS 10.3, your iOS device will update its file system to Apple File System (APFS). This conversion preserves existing data on your device. However, as with any software update, it is recommended that you create a backup of your device before updating.

Nope. This bug, which is incredibly annoying, still resides.

Seriously, do the software engineers do anything all day long?

I experienced it all the time with 10.0.1->10.2, hasn't happened once to me on 10.2.1 (been running it since beta 2).

 

[LordQ]

Any new controls for the AirPods? I really want a double-tap to skip a song.

Generally work on things that they are assigned to work on.

 

[SoN1NjA]

It the in app ratings new?

Yes! and thank goodness, being asked for reviews was very iritating

 

[jgelin]

Release Notes for iOS 10.3 beta 1

Very small set of release notes for a .X build.

 

[KALLT]

It the in app ratings new?

This seems like a good enhancement. I imagine that developers will have access to (new) APIs that can trigger an app review within the app. Perhaps this is Apple’s solution for getting rid of these annoying ‘rate me’ popups within apps.

 

[The Doctor11]

It the in app ratings new?

Yes

 

[theoapo]

It the in app ratings new?

Definitely new!

If it is what I think it is, no more annoying in-app pop up messages to write a review or rate the app!

 

[willmtaylor]

Generally work on things that they are assigned to work on.

I don't believe it.

 

[SoN1NjA]

iCloud is now on top of everything.

like that change, makes it feel like it's your Settings app

 

[willmtaylor]

I experienced it all the time with 10.0.1->10.2, hasn't happened once to me on 10.2.1 (been running it since beta 2).

I got off of the Beta wagon, but I hadn't run into the issue much lately UNTIL I updated to 10.2.1 this morning. Now it's back again.

How weird. It must be such a random bug with the accelerometer its hard to pinpoint.
