iOS 9.3 Beta 1 Bug fixes, Changes and Performance Improvements

[zorinlynx]

Would be nice if Apple would allow to change the color temperature of your phone as well. Now you can only make it more yellow. A lot of people would want to make it less yellow.

Less yellow? The white point of the iPhone 6 display is over 6000K. Sunlight is around 5500K. Why would anyone want it to be even more blue than that?

Because lower color temperatures don't look good to a lot of people.

Every time I am on a Call with a Bluetooth Headset and press the power button to shut off the screen it ends the call???
Anyone else has this problem?

On my 6s, live wallpaper not animating when screen is pressed on lock screen. Pretty useless feature, but is it happening to anyone else?

Works fine for me. Try a hard reset? See if it works after that.

Regardless, I would send a bug report to Apple

So can anyone tell me if the 6s Plus 3D Touch menu animation on the home screen is finally 60fps? 9.2 helped somewhat, but it's definitely not as smooth as the regular 6s. Thanks

I can't verify 60fps (my brain isn't equipped with required meter) but all 3D Touch animations including on home screen are fast and fluid. Very responsive with absolutely no perceived slag (stutter + lag). Very pleased with performance on my 6s Plus running iOS 9.3 Beta 1.

still battery life is not really prime here. Maybe need to a clean restore - but gonna wait for beta 2

Anyone with sensitive eyes for stutter/FPS tested it yet? I want a proper opinion on this - also, on older devices too - iPhone 5, 5S, 6 etc...

IOS 9.3 beta 1 is clearly the best release for 4S since 7.1.2! I don't think such older devices can get better than this. The only thing I am having hard time to comprehend is the massive 1.4 GB update file since there is almost no new feature for 32 bit devices apart from password-protected notes and some minor changes to music app. This 1.4 GB is way too much for just some under the hood improvements and bug fixes. Is it anything to do with base differences or what (9.2 vs 9.3 base)?

I'm so glad to find out that the weird scrolling behavior in the app switcher has been fixed (or at least much better). Now it won't scroll crazy fast unless you flick fast. Beforehand even the slightest flick would scroll crazy fast (if you scrolled towards the home screen card, the other direction was fine).

I tried ios 9.0 on my 5s for a while and learned where it lags, eventually i downgraded. Now, after 5 months i decided to go from 8.4.1 cause I heard people that were initially bitching all the time that now the update is a lot better, the only thing that those incompetent software engineers managed to do is fix the animation when rotating the keyboard and that is only in the messages app, THAT'S IT. 5 MONTHS and they fixed only one freakin animation. Everything else stutters all the time, it s not bad like the iphone 4s but it s very noticeable.

To all those who replied and tested, thanks. I guess this may be my own phone's problem. Which is weird. Oh well, I'll wait it out. The next update should be coming around soon anyway. Thanks people

9.3 allowed me to turn off "reduce transparency" for the first time on my iPad Air without performance loss. It's about time Apple finally started tackling the performance issues in iOS 9.

I wonder why it took them this long though. Performance issues are highly visible; they should be high on the bug priority list!

Really hoping this is the case for me and the issues I see. Also hoping that a lot of people aren't just having a placebo effect, like I remember iOS 8.3, people were saying "EVERYTHING IS PERFECTLY SMOOTH NOW ON MY IPAD AIR" and lo and behold, I get to 8.3 and am disappointed that my particular issues are still not fixed

And yeah I don't get Apple's low priority on smoothness issues either. I haven't really even had "bug" issues on iOS 9, just slow, stuttery, delayed, or absent animations. Yet these are the issues that aren't touched for months.

Anyone with sensitive eyes for stutter/FPS tested it yet? I want a proper opinion on this - also, on older devices too - iPhone 5, 5S, 6 etc...

Way to say it bluntly but this is what I was wanting to say haha... 60FPS video of app switcher, spotlight pull down, control center, etc etc for iPad Air mini 2 or 3 maybe?

I've heard the iPhone has a very very cool display at like 6700K I thought I heard and people have complained. Others say it's still too yellow, but there are some units with more yellow displays so idk.

These OTA updates have been shipped as full installs rather than "delta updates" which only have the new material involved, that's why the little updates have been so huge. Was this way for 9.2 and I believe 9.1 updates.

That's good to hear, it didn't bother me as much as some people, but it was still annoying to me.

I had the same issue what was the fix?

Downloaded the ipsw, iPad in DFU mode connected to iTunes, and alt-restore using 9.3 ipsw.

How do you get the ispw on the computer, when I been downloading OTA through the certificate. Can I drag it over with Iexplorer?

The 1.4 gb you see and download is iOS 9.3 as a whole. It's not just a small "here is only the new bits" download. You are installing the whole iOS as 9.3 overtop your previous install.

Simple restart hadn't worked, but a hard reset did the job, thanks! Bug report sent.

I'm getting a lot o static noise on phone calls via Bluetooth on my car...On 9.2 was working fine!

Anyone??

 

[mjschabow]

All these comments are getting me so excited. Come on public beta!

 

[Dan_999]

Hey guys is Touch ID working consistently now???

 

[r41n]

You must reset all setting after update to get the best performance.

 

[lagwagon]

You must reset all setting after update to get the best performance.

Must? Hardly. I can count on one hand how many times I've ever "Reset All Settings" dating all the way back from the iPhone 3G to today and never had issues from updating. Reset All Settings is NOT a must do thing.

Has anyone else had trouble viewing some PDF files and printing them on this beta? Using iBooks, some of the PDF illustrations do not display correctly on a test iPad 3. And they print just like they are displayed, which is also wrong. I'm not having a problem on a test iPod 6 using the same PDF files.

Before reset all setting my iphone 6 is same with 9.2, but after reset my 6 is faster like ios 8 i think.
