iOS 9.3 Beta 1 Bug fixes, Changes and Performance Improvements

[MarkX]

This chip nonsense has to stop. Don't expect anything worth noticing in battery life with these two chips.

For egotistical reasons some people have this need to feel superior!

Can someone confirm that once you 3d touch on a keyboard and go into trackpad mode it will not work second time?

Someone gave a tip to wait until cursor starts blinking and then do 3d touch. This way it works every time for me with 6s plus.

 

[HankHowdy]

Not bad.

I have to say, the smoothness of the first couple of days with the beta doesn't last. There's quite a bit of choppiness and stutters everywhere. Wonder why it wasn't there the first few days!

Mine is actually the other way around. Over time the phone gets smoother.

Can someone talk more about iBooks for iCloud? Its the best feature of iOS 9.3 for me! I love iBooks but cant use it as it doesnt sync non-iBooks stuff. Will this change?

It's not fully working in beta 1 yet. I suspect probably beta 2 might be better. It also requires OS X 10.11.4 of you have your books and such there mainly.

Once you have both updates you can add say a PDF into iBooks on your Mac and it will almost immediately show up in iBooks on your phone with an iCloud icon ready to download.

Yes. It seems if you activate it and then do it activate it almost immediately it won't work. Waiting for the cursor to blink has worked for me too.

Did anyone notice this?

• Home screen icons are farther from the top of the screen on 4.7 inch devices (iPhone 6 and iPhone 6s). This change makes the home screen look more balanced

If you can Please share screenshot of the springboard of the 6

On my iPad Air 2 I'm finding iOS 9.3 is much smoother than 9.0>9.1.2.

Granted there's a few graphical bugs here and there (as to be expected in a Beta) but on the whole it's not bad at all.

Not guaranteed at all lol

Wow, this is huge for music lovers. The music app in this beta supports lyrics across iCloud. Example: On Mac, add lyrics to a song, then on iPhone in Now Playing screen, tap the album artwork. Previously, I would have to add lyrics to an album and then sync those specific songs to my phone in order to get the lyrics. Now I can add on my MacBook and they will show up in My Music. No need for manual syncing just for lyrics.

I am not saying it's not an issue on the iPhone 6 (picture evidence says it is) ... but I'm not seeing that on the 6S Plus...

It happens on all devices, just that doesn't happen every time. I've seen worst spotlight bugs in iPhone 5s and 6.

I think this is an indication of them implementing lyrics on music that is in our libraries already soon. If I am not mistaken E. Cue has said this was something they are working on after launch.

Mine is still the transparent-white color. Perhaps it is the page you are on?
