But maximum battery capacity should not fluctuate even if the battery capacity has gone below 80%.
Anyway, I am seeking for battery diagnostics service. Hope Apple could find out the true reason.

After a few hours of charging and discharging, maximum battery capacity, or we can say remained capacity, goes from 41% to 69%, then 76%. This is abnormal. Plus, this is not the battery percentage number we all can see beside battery meter.

That's exactly what happens. As the battery degrades, it doesn't charge as much as it use to. So that's normal behavior. When the battery is 20% consumed, it will only ever charge up to 80%. iOS will still indicate that it's charging to 100% but each percentage point holds less power.

What I feel strange is maximum battery percentage fluctuates in Coconut Battery app. You know, there is a bar below "designed capacity". That bar indicates how large your battery actually is after use.

Let's not derail this thread anymore.

Fixed: the huge glitch on iPhone 7 Plus when invoking the app switcher when in Accessibility/Zoom mode (even at 1.0x, such as when using this mode solely for the low-light filter).

I disagree. I had great battery life in earlier betas 10.1.X and such... days later with 10.2.X, battery drains like the road runner...even on standby
I'm sure this might improve in the later betas.
Still, it seems apple have given developers the ability to push updates to the app icons on your phone anytime without actually updating the app .. features like this where changes are being pushed through and installed in the background at anytime will not have positive effects on standby battery life in general I feel.

I think you are getting design capacity and full charge capacity mixed up. Just let me know what Apple says. If you don't mind.

10.3 beta 2 gave me 1.8GB more memory free after update. Good stuff !
Did you go straight to beta 2 or were you on beta 1 before going to beta 2? I got a lot of memory back (around 1GB) after going from 10.2.1 to 10.3 PB1. If we get even more space back from B1 to B2, then great!

The space is probably coming back from system cache and diagnostic logs being cleared. Im sure the new file system is writing plenty of logs which can consume a lot of space. When I was beta testing iOS 10 in the summer, each update would give me about 900MB of space back and it was all because of caches and logs.

I was never on any beta prior to iOS 10.3, but when I heard of all the improvements I decided to jump the gun on iOS 10.3 PB1. So it couldn't have been any logs.

Going from 10.2.1 -> B1/B2, yes thats because of the APFS and clearing of old system caches (all iOS updates will free a little space because of caching). But those that are getting space back after todays update from B1 is because of diagnostic logs and more caching. The change of the APFS already took place with the first update. Your situation is what everyone running Beta 1 experienced 2 weeks ago.

Got it. I knew about the 10.2.1 -> PB1 part, but I suppose the B1 -> B2 makes sense. Too bad it wasn't just a **** ton of optimization from B1 -> B2 rather than logs. Wishful thinking, I suppose. :p

There's this bug in the widgets page. But it goes away after a few seconds. Anyone else get this?

A whole video showing no user facing changes. Click bait.
You know not all betas have visible user facing changes. And since iOS 10.3 introduces APFS, Apple has a whole bunch of works regarding monitoring and debugging the implementation of APFS.

That's not the point of if the video. I heard that all with beta 1. 25 new features? Rubbish.

Is anyone having problems with facetime on these betas? I have had multiple issues. The switch camera button is missing when i answer facetime calls. The two remaining buttons just spread out instead. Also my calls keep failing or ill call someone but then receive their facetime call at the same time....
