anyone noticing wifi connection issues with this build? What I mean is its connected but can get anywhere. All apps loose connectivity until wifi is toggled off/on then all is well again. Have seen this several times today probably after its been sleeping. Like when it wakes up it connects to access point but there is no connection to outside. Saw this a few times only on beta 3 but several times so far on beta 4. Never had this issue ever before from any device on any version of iOS.

Also when it is connected download speeds seem slower than before by a lot. Could be an internet issue as I am referring to speedtest and speedsmart type of tests but whereas I was getting 275-300 mbps downloads and they are now like 175. Not that 175 is slow but it is slower than it has always been before. Again just 1 day but so far seems as though wifi may be struggling a little with this beta.

I've been having WiFi speed problems on all builds of 9.3.3. I have a 200Mbps connection and I get 200 easily on my MBA. My iPhone always reached about 180, but now its not even breaking 100.

hmm what about the routing stopping? My speeds have been fine until today on all versions. Interesting.

I haven't seen any issues about wifi not connecting and it needing to be toggled, but I'm on Beta 3. Have you tried reset network settings? I tried the reset on beta 3 for wifi speed but it didn't help.

Yeah just did a bit ago to see f it would help and as you said no change in speed. Not sure if it helped with the routing issue yet.

So far no issues here. Runs identical to the previous version on my iPhone SE.

My 6S seems to be having a harder time pulling in AT&T signals when compared to another 6s that isnt on the beta.

In addition to this I've also changed DNS settings on router and device. Still 50%-60% slower speeds.

Well i used the ipsw for beta 3 and went back and initially the same speeds but now I was able to get back to 230mbs at least once. Not sure if coincidence or what. Using the wifi sweetspots app that checks connectivity between device and router it is getting 300mbs or so potentially its working and the slower speeds to the test sites are just typical internet variances. I may try b4 again now and see what happens. Not had anymore "no routing" just yet but it was sorta random anyway.

Is anyone having issues with Touch ID after the update? Mine completely stopped working after the update. Tried restarts, turning touch ID off and on, etc. When trying to add a fingerprint it immediately fails too.

Would help to mention what device you have. No issue with 6s with touch id for me.

Sorry, I have 64gb 6s on Verizon.

exact same phone for me. Maybe try a settings>general>reset> reset all settings if you are unable to get touchID working. That seems to solve various issues after an update. It does remove all wifi settings too so be aware. But no data lost. Will have to go back through and set your settings like you want them afterwards.

Does resetting all settings fix the issue where Apple Music crashes on iOS 9.3 after downgrading from iOS 10?

Can Apple please come out with an update that doesn't break stuff?

Maybe I'm lucky, but I've only experienced one thing being broken during beta cycles, and restoring my phone as new fixed it. That's one of the unfortunate things about being a beta tester: sometimes things break, and you've got to report it. That's why it's not recommended for daily drivers.

I'm not talking about betas though. 9.2.1 was pretty bad, then 9.3 came out and ruined game performance. Then 9.3.2 came out and messed up auto-brightness. What's 9.3.3 gonna mess up?

Is there any real or noticeable change in performance and smoothness between 9.3.2 and 9.3.3? I m asking on the 6s in particular. I want to go back from ios 10, too much white. And is the flickering in the dark keyboard when pressing the shift button fixed?
