Mhmm, true. The overlords at Apple could change that behavior if they wished to... it's okay for people who have just the iPhone or iPad but for Watch owners like me it's a rollercoaster ride of emotions.
Activity Achievements is totally screwed up. I didn't get 2 one-time-only Achievements ('Perfect Month') for January and February. The regret is sky high here, I have only myself to blame, and rightly so.
I've never used LPM but when I use NS I'm usually home and closin in on bedtime so I'd just plug the phone in to charge.. Is everyone setting NS sunset to sunrise?
The ability to manually enable it is on the Night Shift settings page as well now. That wasn't there prior was it?
That's how I'm running it as of right now.
Aight thanks I could see heavier users that use LPM when the sun sets at 3pm then...
iCloud backup size still doesn't add up on my iPhone 6s Plus (fine on iPad mini 2). I've excluded Photo Library and few other biggies, but it still ended up backing up 2.7 GB worth of data when it should be well under 500 MB. And worse, Next Backup Size is whopping 1.8 GB right after backup is completed.
With my 6s plus, I sometimes need the LPM between 8pm and 12am before it's bedtime and I'm still using my device; night shift at the same time has been nice to have for my eyes.
only Apple would remove something useful while leaving actual bugs since forever ago in ... smh
Have you completely deleted the backup, then enabled it again and created a fresh one?
I mean technically it still shows the weather, and there is weather data built into the clock app if you use World Clocks. Has to pull the weather from somewhere.
Remove what? Do you mean disable Night Shift when Low Power Mode is enabled? Since it's a new feature they are actively tweaking it to get it right most likely, and it's probable that it uses additional battery power that would otherwise be saved in LPM if NS is disabled. That said, it would be nice if some of those options could be at least manually enabled in LPM and not just disabled (although it sounds like that might make LPM that much less effective).

It's likely not so much the app as the service that would be used for weather information in the Notification Center.
Having used it that way for betas 1-3, and then not having it as an option in beta 4, there was no discerning decrease in the efficacy of low power mode while using night shift.

I know there's no app, my main complaint is that it asks for access every time I open.
Hey, its a beta! I will report.

Tried beta 5. You said disabling. But true, enabling doesn't give options anymore.
Does anyone know if the iCloud restore problem where the verification would fail trying to restore from iCloud on 9.3 beta 3 is fixed in this build??
Missed the every time part. Yeah, that shouldn't be the case.

Hard to say based on anecdotal observations. A number of things can probably still make the battery savings meaningful even if they weren't disabled or changed the way LPM does them, but perhaps to a lesser degree. It's likely there's some threshold that Apple applies to LPM.
Still not fixed Bugs;
Looks like thats all for now. If i see the problem somewhere. i will add here.
- If you open the compass while talking on the iPhone, you'll see the screen tearing.
- Call Siri (you can cancel the voice recognition if you want, we don't need it).Pull up control center and immediatly try to pull it down. Depending on how hard you pulled it, it can take a good 3 seconds to pull it down again.
- Search any location on maplos.com with Safari. After that scroll the map and pinch-in zoom. Safari freezes.
- If you choose the Late Night EQ Mode while playing music; the music stops and starts again. iPhone6 -> Video
- Spotlight Searchbar Binding on Statusbar -> Video
- CC in Siri and Cellular Data -> apps list scrolling have stutter
- Saving any website to Notes app with safari Notes share button results duplicated note when searching for it with spotlight. -> Video
- Search Hotspot on Settings, touch second result after that touch first result and touch Back button. Search box disappearing and result screen merging with statusbar. -> Video
- Safari Speak Selection; it doesn't continue where it left off. It starts reading from the beginning all the times. Pause button working like Stop button.
- Animations are still disappearing. -> Video
- Animation in messages missing when tapping on Edit and then Cancel (the messages will just pop back).
- Settings app preview turns blank in app switcher after using another app for 10 mins.
- Screen blinking when you lock the device.(Restart solved the problem somehow.)
- There is a Shadow on the bottom of the lock screen. -> Image
- Open CC in Siri; there is new options iPhone Speaker or iPhone(Air Play) but this options disappear when u came back home and open CC.
Looks like thats all for now. If i see the problem somewhere. i will add here.

I restored from iCloud on beta 4 with no problems yesterday so I can't imagine there being any issues with todays update.
