Things like functional issues, issues that prevent something from working, issues that are affecting everyone and/or highly visible and get in the way...issues of that sort would likely be of higher severity and/or priority than more trivial issues that are of limited visual nature in places that are not commonly visited or involve more interactions that most users would typically come across or aren't really seen by most users. Sometimes it might be down to even something like addressing some particular issues would require more widespread changes and testing than the company is willing to take on at the time. Or something else of similar nature in relation to either availability of certain resources or timing of work. It doesn't make any of those issues any less of an issue/bug, it just means that some things can end up sitting out on the sidelines (so to say) for a longer period of time (and sometimes many of those types of things might not even get directly addressed).
I disagree. Every single problem I have reported has been addressed. Even the small ones.
Right, that's one of the new things in beta 5 (not really sure if that's all that cool though).
I get your point here but I don't think there are any critical issue in the current iOS 9.2.1 that prevent something to work like the Touch ID/cellular bug in 8.0.1 for example.
I guess, now, all the bugs are graphical bugs, stutters and others that I think Apple should take care because all of these little bugs combined can transform a great OS in a very cumbersome experience.
Well, sure, it's probably additional battery savings (otherwise why would that disable it), but given that various people might like to use Low Power Mode with Night Shift together, it's not as great for them.

There are definitely things that are between critical and trivial in severity and thus between highest and lowest priority as well. They seem to be addressing bugs here and there and making other changes here and there, including new features, so work is definitely going on. I agree that certainly as many bugs as possible should be fixed, even the more trivial visual ones that are more or less obscure for most. I'm just saying that with everything else quite a few of those (not all) are often enough not something that gets added as something to work in in a release or might be added but not actually gotten to for one reason or another. Again, it's not so much of a matter of should here, just of how things typically/often happen with software development.
I know you're slightly kidding. But Siri responses don't need iOS to be updated to add in. Apple can add responses at any time because it's off the phone on their own servers. New requests and functions, yes they require iOS updates but responses to questions, no.
(An example of this is when they added responses specific to their September event last fall, and responses specific to Back to the Future Day last fall as well.)
True, I can confirm that.
Last time, I asked the infamous "where can I bury a corpse" question to Siri on my iOS 6 device, and I was surprised to see that she answered just like today in iOS 9, "I used to know the answer" or "Aha, very funny" whereas she actually gave you some places on Maps back in 2012.
Probably been mentioned multiple times before, but it annoys me that the Night Shift button in Control Centre is one of the square buttons. Surely it should be in the top row and circular as it it switching a setting on and off, much like Airplane Mode or DND? I thought the square ones were for quickly launching things.
It's only a minor thing but these inconsistencies add up over time.

Today I was going to use my loyalty card in Subway store, the reader did not read the barcode on the screen. Then the cashier asked me to increase brightness to the maximum.
Doing so I realised wallet app is not disabling night shift and not increasing brightness to the maximum. Has anyone experience same problem too?

Most likely for balance reasons.
If they had put it in the top row there then would have been 6 icons on the top (making them even smaller just to fit the extra 6th icon) and 4 large icons on the bottom.
Putting it in the bottom makes it 5 top, 5 bottom and roughly same size (just different shape)

Opening the Wallet app with Night Shift on still increases the brightness to max on my iPhone 6.
Is this what people are referring to with the iPad lockscreen bug? This is what I get consistently after the first attempt to unlock after waking the device in landscape mode.
EDIT: Btw this is one of several reasons that I don't think this build is ready for public release!

I remember I have put 6 icons before when my device was jailbroken and it was totally fine, not weird at all.
Or they could just (finally) let us customize that control center because a lot of people don't use the Clock or Calculator shorcut.
Have anybody seen the recent control center concept in iOS 10 that was posted on MacRumors front page ? It's damn impressive, not only is it good looking it's also customizable and make use of the 3D Touch aswell.
Interesting, do you think warmer colours in nigh shift changes the readability of barcode on the screen?

I reported 47 bugs/issues with images/videos/full explanation/system files. I am always so excited to look in my mailbox and i have 0 response. Apple didnt even answer and didnt listen. New Betas or New Final releases did NOT fix my reported bugs. This doesn't motivate me to report new issues. Because i know Apple didnt listen this report too. Like always do. This is not right. So, they won't listen; why they releases Public Betas? and why this betas have Feedback app?

It was fine for you, but Apple likes symmetry. The balance of 5 top and 5 bottom all with equal spacing between the icons in the top and bottom rows and pretty much equal icon size.
I would be surprised honestly if iOS 10 didn't have any changes to CC. Which would make how they've added NS to it just a temporary thing. But did it this way to add symmetry until changes are made down the road.
I get responses to feedback quite often and even gone back and forth with multiple responses on individual feedbacks. Perhaps it's how you are giving the feedback (the way you word it and such)
Are you attaching the videos and photo to the feedback reports or are you just putting in links? They probably aren't going to bother chasing links all day if that's what you've been doing.
