That's been a while now. Apple Music was reduced a few months ago.

It started with gift cards then shortly after it became a permenant thing.

I wish they would do yearly billing for iCloud storage. It's not like I'm going to stop paying for it anytime soon, and I'd rather get billed once a year than 12 times.
[doublepost=1487687840][/doublepost]I noticed a subtle change in Do Not Disturb for message threads.

Before, if you turned on Do Not Disturb for a message thread and later deleted the entire thread, DND would turn off for that contact and you'd get alerts for them again.

Now, DND stays on even if you delete the message thread. You have to manually turn it off again.

Yearly billing isn't even available for Apple Music in my region. It really sucks to have to set monthly reminders to deposit money.

It shows any app that's not been updated for quite sometime and mentions that the app will not be compatible with future updates or might slow down the iPhone

On a fully updated iPhone 5 every app is listed as update available (linking to the App Store) or update not available. Even some internal Apple services are listed. So I think this check is showing whether 64 bit code is installed. Which of course it isn't on a 32 bit device. iOS 10.3 must be the end of the road for the iPhone 5.

Must be having different policy implementation on older iPhone models.

For those of you having battery issues, its only been 23 hours since the update dropped. Its normal to have battery issues the first day after an update. Indexing and all that...

Depends on the device and apps. Some go through the process pretty quick and others take awhile. I have almost 100 apps and 2,000 pics/songs and 100 videos. I'm sure mine is done by now because battery life is the same as b2, maybe slightly better.

This is the best iPhone and battery life I've ever had. I'm glad I forked over the $200 to buy it (sold my 6s+ for $550 and spent $750 on my 7+ 128 GB jet black).

10.3 betas are really unstable for me so far maybe due to the file system changes. I want to go back to 10.2 if possible without losing my data. Anybody knows how?

People have been reporting that it isn't possible. Even DFU mode isn't working.

Indexing takes a few hours. Not days.

But affects battery life for that cycle as during those hours the battery usage was different and higher than typical. A few days and a few cycles are still needed to get a decent idea of battery life as more than one or even two informational points are needed to get an average that is somewhat meaningful.

How is this possible?
I am yet to experience even a fraction of what you have observed.

I'm honestly not sure. Battery life has been good on iOS 10 in general with my 7+ but improved quite a bit with 10.3. I don't use many battery consuming apps (I play all the major games on my iPad Air). Mainly basics like messaging, calls, FaceTime every now and then, Tapatalk, email, some Facebook/Twitter usage, etc.

It helps a lot with these new processors. I really like them!
