iOS 10.3 Beta 7: Changes, Bug Fixes and Enhancements

[d5aqoëp]

The network signal is much better than all the earlier betas on 6s. Never got this speeds earlier.

Edit: no network drop since boot.

I can confidently say that you are using a fluffy crap network like Airtel. The signals fluctuate wildly and you shouldn't blame your iPhone for it.

All this hard work for 10.3 makes me wonder how's iOS 11 development going.

I think this mostly has to do with the new file system. I think they want to be 100% confident before they release it to everyone

Not again? Beta 7?
Guess I need to take a break.

The option to turn on/off "In App Ratings and Reviews" is gone.

Hmm, looks like this was actually removed in beta 6. I can't find it on either beta 6 or 7.....

 

[unclesam01]

Can't find it too on beta 7

They'll have different teams and you can be assured the majority of engineers will be focusing on iOS 11 and have been for some time now.

Well I'm sure they're niiiice and busy. There are multiple teams for different iOS versions.

I had reported the network issues earlier with beta 5 and beta 6 when the network used to fluctuate between 4G/3G/Edge. And apple has worked on it. Still have the telephony debugging profile on the phone. Not a single network fluctuation on this beta till now.

Non stop really? Or are you scaremongering? In the two hours since I installed on 4 different devices non have had wifi issues. Perhaps it's your wifi as nobody else is having the issue here. Try a reboot.

mine is 100%, your device is the issue

Do you have Wifi Assist turned on at the the bottom of Cellular settings?
[doublepost=1489693443][/doublepost]For my iPhone 7, it feels that the app open/close animation has been slightly tweaked. Closing the app seems to start slower and then ramp up speed at the end. Noticed this before, but is more noticable to me on beta 7 than beta 6. Anyone else?

try adding a new homekit accessory

Last time a beta build was released on Thursday it was to fix a critical vulnerability in iOS. This could be the same too(?) Maybe CIA hack leaked vulnerabilities.

Also not sure if this is on purpose, or just how my device is setup (saw Helvetica before) but the release notes are in San Francisco (Windows 10)

I was thinking the same thing.

 

[Chazzle]

The slight icon shift that occurs when using 3D Touch on an app is back in beta 7. Was fixed in beta 6.

What is this in relation to?

 

[usskywatch]

How is Apple News running? In beta 6 News either wouldn't refresh or refresh very slowly.

Refresh isn't super fast but not bad on my 7. I would say time from opening app to new stories loaded is around 4 seconds.

This beta seems a lot less smooth than beta 6 was

After any update, the phone re-indexes. It'll be back to normal soon.
