In addition to the change of the position of song ratings in now playing view: Just saw now that tapping on the song title now brings you to the album the playing song is on. Hope you understand what I mean.
Jesus. That looks a million times better than anything before where it quickly slides through like 3 then goes blank and then just splashes the home page in your face, haha. I like this one. Wish it would go through all apps quick without flashing to the homepage but this works too! Very nice!
Can somebody check if the "ghost Bluetooth device" issue is fixed?
Sometimes when I get out of my car and disconnect from the Bluetooth system, my phone will fail to revert to iPhone speaker and I'll have no sound. I have to hit the AirPlay button and select it. The phone will show that it's connected to a Bluetooth device but the field is blank.

I installed this beta a few hours ago on my iPad Air 2. I love the blue light reduction! Performance wise, everything seems to be the same so far.
My question to those who installed the beta on their iPhones: Does the music still stop playing when you open the camera app? I'm not sure if it's a bug or if Apple implemented this setting deliberately because of Live Photos.

The real test is what Radon87000 has to say about 9.3 beta 1.
Oh I'm sure his never ending quest to post over and over about "lag" won't be done yet. CC still is slow when you pull it up while Siri is activated and listening.
Don't think Apple will offer a dark mode on an IPS LCD device. LCD uses more power displaying black and darker colours. AMOLED uses more power displaying white and lighter colours. But AMOLED still has the edge for power consumption.
Also the blue light reduction is cool feature. I wear glasses with Hoya Blue Control lenses so it cuts out most of the blue anyway. I had to turn it to the coolest setting so it doesn't look piss yellow. Without my glasses it still looks too cool!

Hope this comes out for PB tomorrow, I really wanna get goin on this beta. I had planned on keeping 9.2 for a potential jailbreak but this update seems worth it enough to where I can give that up. Haven't even jailbroken before, just kinda wanted to try it but meh. I feel like it may be a whole can of worms I shouldn't get into anyway.
Also, any word on Verizon WiFi calling in this update? Hope it gets enabled in one of the future betas if it isn't in this one (I believe it isn't yet)

Downloaded the ipsw file for iphone 6s and tried to do a manual update in iTunes by shift click update and restore from 9.2.1 beta 2 but it could not be updated because the firmware file is not compatible. Anyone encountered this? I'm quite sure I've downloaded the correct file for my device though. And I was able to update manually in the past.
Pretty sure LCD uses the same amount of power no matter what the color. The difference basically is that there wouldn't be a power advantage to it, just a usability advantage essentially.

Oh wow, that's so much better. I always wondered why that app needed to make the phone become THE SUN when it runs.
Anyone else notice an improvement with cellphone signal, especially AT&T? Either my tower near work has been upgraded in the past 48 hours or 9.3 improved signal because I'm getting mostly LTE when I usually only get 4G. It's actually pretty nice.
The reasoning for that has been that there are things that use QR or barcodes or something similar that would be scanned off the screen and that works better/best with turned up brightness and contrast.
I have been noticing some cell signal improvements as well on Rogers in Canada. At home normally sits at 1 bar and initiates wifi calling. Now since installing 9.3 beta 1 it's been 2-3 bars consistently and hasn't kicked in wifi calling once. Not sure if it's just a coincidence or 9.3 actually has improved it.
They probably recalibrated the dbm to signal bar representation. Hard to tell unless we know what the before and after dbm is.
Used to be notorious on Android manufacturers where one phone will be full bars and the other brand won't but the signal strength is actually the same and just represented differently on the signal bars.
im so dissapointed when i saw this news it was like heaven on earth, i have always had yellow tint temp for my ipad air 2 and changed it 3 times and not had a pure white one like in the apple stores so thought amazing can now change temp on screen but i can confim this doesnt happen this only makes it more yellow and even all the way to blue its still yelloer than having it off, this is NOT a screen temp change which is what i want, now im upset i dont want a more yellow screen every apple store device is pure white but i always have yellow tint iphones and ipads not happy
