iOS 10.3 Beta 7: Changes, Bug Fixes and Enhancements

[DaPizzaMan]

Any updates on the camera? Portrait mode? All of these software updates get released and none of them improve the camera or have updates for it. I guess apple thinks the camera is fine the way it is. There are several competitors phones that have much better cameras and image quality and you'd think Apple would step up and take charge...but they don't. I would be all over the google pixel phone because of its camera, but I hat android and that steers me away. I don't understand apples slow development of their cameras. They should be using larger sensors now. For me, the camera is one of the most important parts of the iPhone. At least now I can shoot RAW, that helps, but only a little.

What updates are you looking for?

Maybe we see this out tomorrow on Monday 27.
I am tempted to install the beta on my work 7, but i will just wait now since it is close release.
I understand this update fixes the horrible app closing animation.

My battery life with the latest BETA is horrible. I'm not sure if the BETA is to blame or perhaps it's my battery having issues. I have been on iOS 10.3 since the first developer preview so I've had BETA v7 for over one week and I didn't feel the battery being this bad the previous week.

I took my iPhone 7 Plus off the charger at 07:00 PM yesterday at 100%. And by the time I went to bed at 11:00 PM it was below 30%. The only thing I had used the phone for was a 45min jog (Apple Music over 4G/LTE with full coverage (full signal bar)) with GPS running on my Apple Watch Gen.2 using the workout-app and nothing on my phone. 30min of podcast using Overcast and 30min using Sonos.


Befrir I went to sleep i rebooted my phone and manually closed all running apps. I woke up at 06:15 AM (100% battery) and did my regular 15min websurfing (Safari at minimum brightness) and besides that it's been sitting idle on my desk inntil I left at 07:45 AM. Already at 82% battery.

Nothing but SMOOOOOTHNESS here. Did you let the indexing process complete?

It may be a result of your device being several generations out of date.

Hey,

It's an iPhone 6 so it's 3 generations old.
How do I know if I let the indexing process complete? I've been using 10.3 since beta 5. What I did do already was resetting the phone.

 

[ricardoriquier]

Which device are you using?

iPhone 6. Doesn't happen with my iPad mini 2.

Doesn't happen with my 6, either.

Same sort of battery life here. Hopefully we'll get beta 8 today.

Head on over to the speculation thread, but looks increasingly likely that final is hitting today (Apple has updated all of their productivity apps).

iOS 10.3 is now available publicly. Update thread available here.

How to update when you are on beta 7. It shows upto date.

Same. Deleting profile and resetting to see if that does it.
Edit: yup that worked, showing up now.

My simple question-should we expect any new fixes or features in the public 10.3 as compared to beta 7.

No one knows, the build number changed for a/some reason. Cannot hurt to update to the final public version.

If we assume nothing has changed after beta 7, then what were they doing since the last 10 days.

Making sure things were OK with beta 7 and getting ready for the public release.

Installing Beta Profile after 10.3 14E277 still shows Beta 7 available for download....

So that means the bugs I was expecting to be fixed since February would have to be taken up in 10.3.1 or whatever is the next beta.

Yes. I posted many bug reports during 10.0 Beta phase and they weren't fixed until 10.2. Such as the Safari keyboard bug. This is due to how far ahead they are working internally.

As well as considerations of the severity and priority of the particular issues.

If you can't see the new iOS 10.3 final release update, delete the downloaded update in Settings > General > Storage & Usage > iOS 10.3 beta 7 > Delete

Make sure you've also rebooted your device after removing the beta profile.
