iOS 9.3 Beta 3 Bug fixes, Changes and Performance Improvements

[oodi]

Looks like beta 3 fixed the app switching problem with command+tab on ipad pro smart keyboard. It was not detecting tab release event properly and kept rotating apps like forever.

Generally 9.3 seems like a solid update for smart keyboard + ipad pro.

3d touch for app switcher is more difficult to success comparing to beta2. Does anyone have the same problem?

Edit..never mind..I just reboot my phone and it seems okay now

Also it seems like after every update Safari content blocker (Purify) does not work initially. Once again I had to disable/enable Purify from settings and after that it works (not even restarting Safari).

Runs smooth again on my iP5 like beta 1 did. beta 2 was slow due to that OpenGL thing.

Now on this, i notice the clock delay bug in the notification bar at the top when unlocking the phone.

Still having the springboard each time i open app switcher and scroll to the last few opened apps. Always happens. Noticed it from 9.3 PB 1. Submitted report on that again ...

Time missing on status bar for a number of seconds after unlock to home screen.

Is it present on all phones?

I am not getting the missing title bar at all... what I do get is the missing clock info on the title bar for about 8-10 seconds or until the screen gets redrawn.

I have reported it to Apple.

App switcher is still a bit twitchy and fast on iPad Air 2. It's fine on 6s.

Black screen when switching between apps using multitasking gesture on iPad Air 2. Yuck.

Now I have to wait at least another two weeks for this to be fixed. The joys of beta testing!

PB3 working really well for me so far. Solid performance.

Twitchy like it is on 9.2???? It's very jumpy on iPad in landscape. Almost too fast. It was perfect IMO on iOS 9.0 and 9.1

Beta 3 is perfect! on top of the beta 1.1... Really happy! Animations are super fluid! and performance is even better overall... Not digging the "lemon" icon, and the radius of the new CC bottom icons, but oh well.... Let's hope they bring the lampshade icon back, or simply a bulb light...

On 6+ i'm only experiencing the lack of the clock for 2-3 seconds after touch ID unlock, it's actually pretty cool

Worse than 9.2 but better than 9.3 beta 2. Still way too fast. Clock on home screen missing on air 2 as well. And selecting the blurred app on the app switcher bug is fixed on beta 3.

Not sure if this was already posted but is anyone else having a 2-4 second vibration delay when using 3D Touch? This is happening on my 6S+ btw.

Noticed it since B1.

Pretty disappointed in b3. My iPhone 6S reacts with a noticeable delay. B2 was pretty stable. What's going on with Apple's iOS team?

*Possible new feature*
Just noticed in messages if a contact has DND enabled it shows the icon next to their name.

Go back to 9.2.1 don't listen to these goofballs that claim it's steady and there is no problems with beta software. It's a bunch of Bologna

 

[tosbsas]

So as an iPhone 6 user, is this beta any better than beta 2? Or is it worse?

Better here

I thought that's how it always worked?

Well, I mean, b2 was stable and satisfying in terms of performance and stability.

While battery life average has fluctuated throuout the three betas, iOS 9.3 is the best version of its iteration.

iPhone 6: Smooth, less lag & stutter, bug fixes. Overall, great.

I found (thanks to someone else) that battery life was tied to an iCloud issue in 10.11.3. Upgrading to the 10.11.4 beta fixed my battery life. Went from draining my iPhone 6S Plus in less than a day back to pre-El Cap levels for me (since I didn't update until late January, I have a pretty good frame of reference there).

Just installed public beta 3 on my iPhone 5S and there is something wrong with time instates bar. Is it a common problem?

If you're referring to the disappearing time display, then yes.

Perhaps a reinstall? Seems like many others aren't experiencing an issue of that sort.
