Really really looking forward to this, iPad mini 2 was a dream on beta 1 but beta 2 trashed it... Same for iPhone 5. I saw someone say their iPhone 5 is smooth again and I'm ready to try and confirm it. Also Verizon wifi calling FINALLY...
Public beta please come out tomorrow.
you are a "dear friend" indeed
thanks for the reply! really tempted, to move from beta 1. Yes, beta 1 wasn't perfect, but 95% of time was even better than iOS 8.4.1
I also have an iPad mini 2 and all the stuttering problems were solved, just like on the 6+ !
Still? 9.3 brought the iPhone 6 up to iPhone 5 smoothness from what I thought. What things does the 5 still perform more smoothly? Just curious. Control Center is very good on both now, at least.
Sweet! Pretty pumped for beta 3 then!I also have an iPad mini 2 and all the stuttering problems were solved, just like on the 6+ !
Feedback app is still there. Check to see if your profile was deleted (bet it was).
Not something that would really be known at this point.
The iPhone 5 hardly drops any frames. With the iPhone 6, framerate still varies a bit. Especially opening and closing apps, and opening submenus in the Settings app is just a tad smoother on the 5.
Anyway, this wasn't a complain because beta 3 is the best version of iOS 9 on the iPhone 6 so far. I was just amazed that beta 3 runs so well on the 5, especially since beta 2 was really choppy.
Nope it was not deleted. Even tried manually removing and applying it again, but still no feedback app.
Ah I see. Anytime a passcode screen is brought up in the settings app it lags quite badly and there are random hiccups here and there but with the age of the iPhone 5 I assumed it all kinda evened out at this point
Now you can install the beta with the cellular data, all the other updates require you to have wifi on.
*Installed all 144mb (i think that was the size *6s Plus*) with my LTE network.
** if you are doing the update if you put the phone in landscape and back all the text become bigger, don't know if its a bug, but it has been there sins first beta of iOS 9.

When i put the phone to search the update i was on the cellular network and say download and install, and thats all. The update downloaded completely with the cellular network and the phone don't ask me to turn on and connect to a wifi network for the update like it has been always.
Check mobile data menu scrolling lag fixed or not iPhone 5 have in 9.2.1

iOS 9.3 beta 3
Build: 13E5200d
Bugs (new to beta 3)
Changes
- The time in the status bar is missing for a noticeable amount of time after unlocking with Touch ID to the homescreen.
- Swiping between open apps via 4-finger-gesture causes the screen to go blank for a second on iPad Air 2.
- Feedback app appears to be missing in some cases.
Bug fixes
- iOS 9.3 beta 3 now scores 419 on HTMLTest.com compared to 409 for iOS 9.0
- Verizon Wi-Fi calling (new)
- New News toggle under iCloud settings in countries with unsupported News app.
Performance
- CrashSafari website no longer does anything.
- Landscape control center no longer cuts the right side of icons.
- Animation snap in task switcher when closing multiple apps is finally fixed.
- iPhone 6 Plus: Task Switcher scrolling is fluid; not extremely fast.
- iPhone 6: Task Switcher is 100% smooth, and closing the last app does not have that weird glitch where the homescreen bounces left and right.
- iPhone 6: App load times greatly improved. Tapping apps is almost as smooth as iOS 8 and the load-in time is really quick compared to beta 2.
- Improved performance on iPhone 4S, iPad 2 and first gen iPad mini. Apps launch faster and Spotlight doesn't lag anymore.
- 60 fps now in Multitasking area on A5 processor.
Is there a way to get past the 'Verification Failed" message? I can't sign in to iCloud, I rent reset all my phone settings, i can't do anything because I keep getting this message. i have tried resetting my network settings and rejoining wifi, I have tried deleting the beta profile. there is no way for me to remove my iCloud account. I do notice that it says that iCloud terms and services have changed at the top of my iCloud settings... but when i click on it, just get the spinning circle in the status bar and it never opens.... Any sugestions?
