iOS 10 on iPhone 6 - Post Your Experiences

[otternonsense]

Dreadful -on both my iPhone 6 devices (1-year old and a brand new replacement). Choppy animations, puzzling haptic feedback, and battery that drains faster than you can say "Hey Siri". Then there's the garbage UX design-by-committee and vapid additions on Messages and Music. Even my JBL BT earphones wouldn't work properly (the voice wouldn't transfer to the earpiece during calls).

Downgrading to 9.3.5 restored peace of mind. In my experience, iOS 10 is debatably the worst update apple has ever decided to produce (after Maps). No need to fix what isn't broken.

I am running iOS 10 on my iPhone 6 since beta 3 I think, now with 10.0.2, and I am very pleased with it. Performance is good, everything I used to do under iOS 9 is still working fine under iOS 10. Battery life is even a little bit better compared to iOS 9.

It's fine. It doesn't really feel different or that much of an upgrade at all. Nothing noticeably different in looks other than rounded corner/bubbles (which I don't like tbh).

Performance wise I'm not sure, it definitely isn't slower and in fact I think it - looks - faster when opening/switching/closing apps, not sure if it actually is though. Battery has been truly awful for me this past year so I can't tell the difference, definitely need to buy a new battery. Widgets page is alright, can't really do anything with it though. I've just been using it to quickly open apps that support it.

What I really, really don't like is the control centre. I have my phone connected to a Bluetooth speaker pretty much all day, always changing music, changing brightness, turning Bluetooth/wifi on/off all day, use my flashlight every night, etc.. basically I don't like the two pages and I think it's unnecessary. I don't like how it's not fixed to the screen and that it moves about if your finger isn't directly on say the brightness slider, I don't like that I have to switch pages, yeah I just hate it.

Same with the notification bubbles moving about the screen, can never slide them down to read the mini info so I really don't find them useful anymore.
