Battery is bad as expected.
iPhone 5s
3hr 16min usage
8hr 17 standby
31% remaining

8.3 I'd be at 50% or so.

Otherwise, it's surprising stable for a first beta.

If you go to Settings-Privacy-Advertising-Reset Advertising Identifier, it will crash, not sure if it's supposed to be like that but it crashed 3 times in a row for me.
 
Abysmal battery life on my 6Plus with everything turned on. Wil try turning off the Search items to see if it gets any better. Hopefully there's a new beta next week but I can live with this.

Oh my god, you can finally disable vibration on alarms!! No more being startled out of sleep every morning.
 
Battery life is pretty bad even after turning off all of the search stuff so I may just go back to 8.3 and wait for the next beta.
 
Question; I want Apple Music as soon as it's available. If I put iOS 9 on my device, do you think Apple will add it (enable it) in a future beta alongside iOS 8.4 GM? Hope that makes sense.

So far from testing, Siri Suggestions is the main battery killer, at least for me. The rest of Search is turned on. It's not 8.3 good but it's an improvement.
 
Not sure how many people noticed but:

- Find Friends widget in notification center
- Batteries notification in notification center (shows both iPhone and Apple watch battery levels as a percentage)
- Siri is ridiculously fast. (even faster than watch OS)

When I goto print on iOS 9, it gives you options for black and white, I have wanted this since print was made possible on iOS. It even shows ink levels.

Oh I know its prerelease. However the rumours were that Apple had already created an improved version of iOS for A5 devices, and it would thus start at a point where performance was at least as good as iOS 8.

Performance rarely improves that much by the end of the beta period.

That isn't true, Beta 1 of iOS 8 was much worse than the stable version.

Does Siri work if there's no data connection? Just curious if they improved that in any way.
 
Read every post and didn't see anything mentioned about the battery indicator changing color as you get into the lower percentages. I saw a couple of screenshots on the last couple of pages with yellow indicators. I'm guessing it'll turn red once you get below 20%.

Also, I can see where people are coming from with the Wallet app looking smaller. I wish developers (and Apple) would get away from using black icons. Personal preference I know, but it can really throw things off if you're using a dark wallpaper.

I believe yellow is to indicate when low power mode has been enabled.

The battery is orange when power saving mode is on.

No. Siri is a server based system. You need access to the internet to be able to access the service. I don't see Apple ever changing that.

Are you guys for real or am I missing on some inside-joke.
Offline Siri is a big feature in iOS 10, no?

Well, with all the improvements and with all of the talk about doing more on the phone itself figured maybe some limited support was enabled for it--basically like falling back to Voice Control type of abilities that allow for certain (more basic/local to the phone) things to still work.

So with these new multitasking features what happens to edge swipes to move forwards and backwards?
 
Hello there,
I've been ready every post with care and interest, so first of all. Thanks to all.
Mostly every is good on my iphone 6.
It's rather warm but a lot less since is unchecked searches (cheers for that ;)
Quick question..
I know the 'update' process but on some devices and previous IOS versions, when a device was over heating a backup/wipe/restore would solve the issue in 95% of the time.
So here is my question:
What would you suggest the best practice ?
Backup/wipe/restore/update/wipe/restore
Or to you a simple update (of course with a backup first) shouldn't be an issue ?

Thanks again

Different things work for different people. There really isn't a specific rule aside from what works for you basically.
