Bugs (please don't post existing bugs):
- Dock is buggy on iPad Pro 12.9 and iPad Air & iPad Air 2 (may be all models), tilt iPad towards you and see the background of dock disappear, move it away and the dock background refills. Also it blacks out at times, a restart does not solve this. Seeing this also on 6S+ and 6+. Solved temporarily by turning on "Reduce Transparency" in Accessibility settings.
- Home screen icons that are force-pressed on 6s can become misaligned for a split-second after looking at the Today view. (Using 3D Touch on an icon and moving the device will cause the blurred background to move separately from the actively pressed icon, and going back to the home screen shows that icon in the wrong place for a short time. It doesn't happen on a fresh boot, but appears after sliding to the Today view on the left and then using 3D Touch).
- 3D menu in phone app does not dial a contact unless its added as a widget. Then it works.
- Using 3D touch on Notes.app and then tapping on a note listed in the widget does not do anything (i.e. the note is not brought up as you would expect).
- Music options on iTunes such as Start and Stop time, Volume Adjust settings done on iTunes does not get synced over to iPhone/iPad's Music App
(If you select a song on iTunes and Cmd + I to bring up the details sheet
Go under Options to change for instance the Start and Stop time and Volume Adjust
After syncing with iPhone, the options does not get applied/carried over
Eg. Song A had been adjusted to start from 1:00 and end at 2:10 in iTunes and iTunes play it from 1:00 and ends it at 2:10(Correct Behaviour)
But when synced over to iPhone, the Music app does not start playing the song at 1:00 and end it at 2:10
The same bug applies for Volume Adjust)
Bug Fixes:
- Blank Quick Reply screen seems fixed.
- Ad Blockers now work correctly and leave no whitespace where the adverts should be
- "Auto enhance" feature when editing photos no longer makes photos look overexposed and washed out (bug from beta 4).
- Hands-Free Prompt for Maps Navigation is back. It was missing since Beta 3
- Broken and/or slow Spotlight Search appears to have finally been fixed for RAM-starved devices (1GB devices like iPhone 6 and earlier)
Things to Watch For:
- Will they add "love" button in CC as well as lock screen when playing music? Oh, and will they add star rating back? (Not on lock screen)
- Has the cellular/Wifi connectivity issue been resolved? Fixed for 6s. With Stable Wifi Connectivity. No signal drops intermittently.
