I fail to understand why there's been no Public Beta version of watchOS 2.2. watchOS 2.1 is absolutely effing terrible with the iOS 9.3 PB series.
Probably because there is no way to downgrade. I'm hoping to see a public beta for watchOS be announced at WWDC this year.

Not only can't you downgrade, I think I've heard that if it bricks the watch, you are out of luck. I'm not even sure warranty would cover that. Can others chime in?

What do you expect from EA? They're one of the worst developers who turn iOS games into pay to win garbage.

I don't disagree with you, you're right, but EA haven't received a single euro from me as I refuse on principle to pay to for example buy cars, win quicker etc etc

I enjoy the game but I do so utilising the freebies.

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?

Still not fixed the bugs caused by 9.3 Beta 3 on mine.
  • No GPS
  • Spotty wifi reception. Need to be much closer to an access point to pick the signal up.
  • Bluetooth accessory literally has to be next to the iPhone to connect.

I too enjoyed it in the beginning until you have to grind and play races over and over and over and over to get enough money to buy anything. The same garbage has been bestowed upon the once amazing Asphalt series and many other franchises. In fact I'm actually for the first time considering not upgrading my Air 2 to the newest model in favor of getting a console. I had real faith from 2010-2013 that iOS gaming had a chance of being quality. Sadly quality titles are far and few between now and it sucks. Apple kept putting amazing chips in these devices capable of rivaling the PS3. For example the latest assassins creed game is absolutely stunning on my Air 2. But the expereince is simply so so. Plus free to play garbage has been added in even though it's a $4.99 game. Seriously. F--- some of the developers.

Aye, that's what I do. Damn it, didn't realise the automatic update my phone wanted to do to drag me from PB3 to PB5 would screw up my progress. Just finished getting all 4 new NASCARs, hope I find a way to fix it before the next challenge in 11 or so days..

Verizon baseband was updated to 24.0 but I don't see any differences.

I haven't noticed much either, however I feel like the threshold for enabling wifi calling rose a bit, before I started the update to beta 5 I wasn't on wifi calling even though I was at like -104dbm. After the update it switched to wifi calling automatically.

So we can't adjust how orange we want the display anymore? :(

Sounds like it's just the icons and not the functionality that might have disappeared, unless I'm reading that wrong.

C DM is correct, the functionality is still exactly the same in the settings pane. It just says "Less Warm" and "More Warm" rather than having a blue and orange dot in the respective locations.

Which will probably reduce the confusion of why you can't make your display bluer.

I think it's watch OS public beta too. I recently download profile and I have to pick if I want profile for  watch or iOS.

It allows you to download a profile to the watch but it will not allow you to update to the beta. There is no public beta as you cannot restore if something goes wrong.

With Verizon wifi calling, is there a way to enable it on other devices (MacBook or iPad) to place calls when my iPhone is not nearby? I'm running the latest beta on my Mac.

- Tapping the Night Shift icon in the Notification center no longer displays options. It just disables Night Shift now.

Also, turning on or off the screen make the music glitching a bit. This is new with this beta, does somebody has the same issue?

I am not sure if night shift functionality a bug. Actually I would prefer this functionality over the turn off/on options in previous betas.
