iOS 10.3 Beta 1

[cswifx]

I was having trouble updating apps today. It would start and then tell me that the update failed, with an option to retry the update. After choosing to retry, it would work that time (on the second try).

Not sure if related to your issue...

It seems to me that there are a lot of App Store download issues as of late. Is this all just Apple's servers being complete **** or iOS 10-related?

Have had no issues downloading any app updates since iOS 10, maybe it's your Internet connection or something on your device? Apple's system status page doesn't indicate an issue either.

My iCloud Storage is almost full and in iOS 10.3 beta 1 the settings app just keeps on bugging me with a lockscreen notification and an app badge for low iCloud storage. Hope this changes in future beta releases.

The behaviour was more-or-less the same in 10.2.1. They wore me down and I purchased the storage upgrade...

They need to finally fix the tab previews in Safari. Every so often it shows the website before the current and actual site. Been like this since getting my 7 plus on any iOS version

Id rather have the slower closing animation cause the phone cant keep up with the application itself. Faster animation wont allow you to do commands anyway as soon as the animation ends.

Now have a brand new '17 Dodge Charger w/ CarPlay, but CarPlay seems bugged to the point of uselessness.

CarPlay keeps disconnecting after 3-5 minutes. I can reconnect the cable as much as I want, but my phone will not start CarPlay again until I hard reboot it.

Sometimes, when CarPlay glitches out on my iPhone it makes the car's radio software crash and hard reboot too. I thought the radio was corrupted until a family member who has the car said they've had zero issues with Android Auto, so I think 10.3 B1 has CarPlay issues. I filed a bug report with both Apple and Fiat Chrysler, just on the off chance it is a bug on the car side.

I still need to check it with my mom's iPhone running 10.2.1.

Current battery at 77%, was at 100% about 35 minutes ago...

Using app called Battery Life

It says my battery voltage is: 3.93
Altho it seems to go down as battery drains....

Anybody Not having rapid drain issues use this app on an ip6 ? Any results you can share ?

Thanks !!

The option "Show iCloud Drive" is missing. You need to download the app from the App Store.

Who has Iphone 7 on ios 10.3 here?

Weaker network connections anybody? I know it might just be my location, but my signal is up and down and normally use to be stable.

That is one thing that seems fine for me.

Have you put on a new case recently ? Some cases definitely block signals...

Nah I don't use a case on my phones. It just caught my eye when I looked at the signal bars. Where I normally got a solid full 5 bars/circles , I'm fluctuating between 2 and 3 and sometimes 4 after updating to beta.

The wifi on iPhone 7 has been downright appalling. The same spot where Google Pixel holds 10-20 Mbps connection on 2.4 Ghz Wifi network, iPhone 7 Plus does not even detect any wireless signal.

10.3 doesn't change that.

I have no issues whatsoever with CarPlay on 10.3.

Anyone else have the issue where mail notifications disappear on the lockscreen when "unlocking" with touch id?

Yeh I've got that too

Same, but it's annoying because it's random and you can't reproduce the issue.

All includes light usage (texting, email, light usage with Facebook, Tapatalk, etc)... which is the usual. Usually ending the day around 50-70%.

End of day average:

Usage: 6-8 hours
Standby: 12-16 hours

Yep... Shows up, but then it's gone.

I also seem to have good battery life... Some doesn't, so it seems the Beta is doing different things to people which is interesting

Anyone else noticing Pencil charging is taking forever when plugged in to the iPad (at least on the 12.9).

Yes there is something going wrong. Had issues with carplay on this beta with my Audi A3. Lost 4G-connection and it never ever reconnected. Only a reboot of my iPhone 7 fixed the problem. Back on 10.2.1 its running flawlessly.

If you have no SIM card, no Wi-Fi or Bluetooth on, low power mode enabled I'm pretty sure the 6s could last a week. I only had Wi-Fi on and used it 3 hours then I let it sit. Forgot about it still being on as I've been busy this week. Picked it up while my 7+ charges and I was like woah...

It could probably last longer than a week

I know my iPhone 7 only drops 3% if left on airplane mode (without wifi) for 24hours

Yeah it's really great on this beta. Before this, my 6s would last on standby with similar parameters for about 65 hours. Maybe this new file system really requires little to no juice when not being actively used.

Sadly it has the opposite effect on my old spare 5s .. that drains 1% per hour on standby on 10.3 where it only drained 1% every 2 or 3 hours standby on 10.2. I hope it's better on Beta 2
