It's like that in 9.3.2 as well, and likely has been like that for some time, or not pretty much always.
No, that message hadn’t been there. I know because I use nearly every beta and reset the Ad ID regularly, often without internet.

I just tried it on 9.3.2 and 9.3.1 and the same message is there.

Anyone with the 6 Plus
Siri lag is fixed?
What about when you switch from portrait in landscape if you are in spotlight search?
On 9.3.2 is horrendous.
I hope iOS 10 fixes everything, but in the end they'll probably destroy the old devices even more.


Siri UI lag has been here since iOS 9.2 Beta 1 or 2 and is exclusively on the 6 Plus. Following iOS releases have slightly improved the UI but still not as smooth as my first generation iPad mini's Siri UI which is ridiculous. I'm surprised this isn't as widely discussed.

Rotating in Spotlight for devices that support it has always been stuttery since iOS 7. And if you have the keyboard on display, it's always a catch up game.

I had high hopes for iOS 9 after the huge mess the previous iOS releases has been especially since Apple touted iOS 9 as a cleanup release. Now I just learned not to set my expectations since Apple does improve their releases but it may definitely take time, e.g. no more dropped frames when entering/exiting the App Switcher UI in iOS 9.2 and the community's beloved no more stutters when accessing Control Conter with iOS 9.3.

I have some Bluetooth connection problems still on my iPhone SE, no better with this update than 9.3.2.

Add me to the list of people who don't bother much with iOS games anymore.

Every single game is the same damn formula. Mine/harvest/search for gems/coins/trinkets to buy stuff to upgrade or unlock more levels to find gems/coins/trinkets. Wait large amounts of real time for upgrades. Skip these waits or collect gems/coins/trinkets faster with in-app purchases. It's all the same ********. There must be a VERY large contingent of people who love these games and pour money into them, otherwise we wouldn't see so damn many of them.

I have absolutely no interest in that crap though. I miss simple, addictive games with (then) innovative concepts like Angry Birds (before in-app purchases).
Same or similar to Japanese games (I play them a lot).
Now I play two rhythm games, each is from an idol project. I really like such game, and they are generally only available from big companies because you need a lot of songs as your source. How to play? Collect/upgrade/play.
Another game is Freeblade. I play it because it can utilise 3D Touch, and I have iPhone 6s Plus so. But, this one also requires you to do the same thing, collect (wargear)/upgrade/battle.
Another game is Fate Grand Order, like an RPG but follows a typical collect items/upgrade/battle pattern. I am tired about this type now especially when items required to upgrade is so hard to get through actual game play.
One is another type of RPG, Merc Storia. Kinda hard to properly tell the exact type. You don't need to collect a lot of stuff to upgrade, and play is pretty straightforward. But still, collect items/upgrade/battle.
Oh, both needs to *pay* in order to obtain super powerful new members. I spent about 1000 AUD on Merc Storia, a total of 400 AUD on my both rhythm games, and about 200 AUD I think, on Fate blah blah.
Really tired now about a lot of new iOS games. The only thing they change is resources (graph, music etc), and stories. Mode does not change much at all.
Blackbox, a puzzle game, is actually pretty outstanding. You can try it out.

I have no idea what is going on.. If i set the view to Zoomed it's 60 fps all over the place.
I think it has something to do with the rendering at a higher resolution and then downscaling it to 1080p.

How is the battery life in 9.3.3 Beta 1? Is it comparable to 9.3.2?

Alright there is definitely a bug when it comes to networking. When iPad and iPhone are on Airplane mode, battery usage and standby are not the same. When on Wifi/Cellular, battery time is the same for both usage and standby.
Interesting I had the same issue AFTER upgrading. My battery stats were amazing last night with 7.5 hr use and 15 hr 20 min standby with 55% remaining (no music just text and phone and email) didnt see any unusual activity on the apps. I knew that was not right. This morning battery life was still doing fine but showed 3hr + use and exact same for stdby and still like 98% remain. Again knew this wasnt right. Apparently after the update the issue occured so started adding high usage along with standby resulting in the high numbers above without actually draining battery. Had to do the reset all settings to correct this. Something definitely wonky (technical term) with the battery stats reporting with this update. I submitted feedback as well.

I'd recommend following Pocket Tactics. They only every review decent games.

Also, if you want a good game, you could do worse than Michael Brough games. Check out his latest one Imbroglio.

I don't think the battery really deteriorates around 15% in under a year.
You're right, it could be a little more.

After deleting email accounts and doing reset network settings, everything was working fine. Now the issue has returned. Usage and standby are the same. Very annoying. Problem is, I can't tell if its causing battery drain. I believe is, but minimal.

I did the full on "reset all settings" which includes network settings. Also I didnt have noticible drain just the stats were inflated and showing the same usage/stdby. LOL when I saw 7.5hr used and 15.5 standby with 55% remaining last night and zero of it music I was like WOW then quickly um wait??? Something cant be right. haha . But in reality the actual amount of usage I recall for the day and remaining % were in line with what I am used to. So I knew 7.5 hrs was a hoax. Then todays early stats showed the same for both so that explained it.

Hmm just looked and it does appear the issue has returned. Only like 10 minutes difference now. 6 hr 16 and 6hr 26 and like 80% remain. Soooooooo not gonna bother with another reset clearly the battery stats is jacked with this version.

Yep mine says 2 hours of usage with 100% left still. I don't think that's right.

Usage and standby times are relatively close. How annoying.

I can't install. I'm a fully registered paid up Developer account holder.

When trying to install on my 64Gb iPhone 6 Plus if i use the OTA i get the error shown in the screenshot.

If i try via iTunes it bricks the phone and i have to restore to 9.3.2

I have tried both OTA and iTunes after restore to 9.3.2 and restore from backup. I have also tried both OTA and iTunes when restore to 9.3.2 and set up as new phone.

In contrast my iPad Mini 2 went on fine no issues.

I have tried 3 different networks to check it's not the internet. I have also re downloaded the .ipsw file 3 times from my Dev log in.

Has anyone managed to install on an iPhone 6 Plus?

Any suggestions would be grateful as this has me flummoxed.

Thanks.

I'm having the exact same issue on my iPhone 6 Plus with the public beta. Have you had any luck since posting?

Incorrect.
Actually C DM is correct. The iPhone battery is rated for 80% health after 500 charge cycles. 1 year will be about 350 charge cycles. The theoretic battery health after 350 charge cycles is 86%.

My iPad 2 was 5 years old with 400 cycles and the battery health was still 94%.

Any word on if openGL performance/game performance is back to 9.2.1 levels yet? Also, I wanna know about the auto-brightness lag.

Yeah it is. Put in a bug report/feedback. I went back to 9.3.2 for now. Perhaps beta 2 will solve it. Otherwise 9.3.3 seemed to be great.

When you went back, did you just do the Option+Update in iTunes? Also, if so, do you by chance have an Apple watch? I wanna know what happens to that if you do the Option+Update to 9.3.2.
