I think my 6s Plus is fine on 9.3 beta 6, 5 had similar usage tbh, 4 was ridiculous to me. Anyway is anyone else having Handoff not working between devices on the beta? On beta 5 I didn't have this issue, but beta 6 I'm noticing Handoff and Airdrop not working on my rMBP (Late 2013) and my iPhone.
Got a tip for us?

Is Peeking on POIs in Maps new or have I just never noticed it before?
Not new, i can do this in my 6S with 9.2.1
After using it a while I am finding B6 pretty good really - battery life seems really good.
It still stutters here and there - most noticeably when a lot of graphics are moving around - so, the Mobile Data page in Settings, and scrolling through Emojis on the keyboard.
Safari also seems a little stuttery on some pages.
Scrolling Photos with the Photo info visible (IE, not "full screen"), has some micro stutter at the moment the Date changes as you are scrolling between Photos - most noticeable if you slowly scroll rather than flick.
Weirdly, my iPad Mini 1st Gen actually feels somewhat smoother in areas like Safari and Photos - for such an old device this is odd behaviour, so I can only put this down to Metal vs OpenGL.

Yup. I have it set to 5 minutes and often times within 30 seconds of locking my phone it will make me put in my passcode to unlock it again.
My 6S keeps asking for my passcode after only a minute of being asleep, despite my having set it only to require a passcode after 4 hours. I seem to remember this happening with one of the betas for a previous iOS.

Ha, just saw this after I posted. Glad to hear I'm not alone.
I didn't add it back, but...
The general consensus of the thread doesn't matter. If a handful of people are experiencing an issue, it could be a bug that is triggered by a set of circumstances that other people don't have. The end users should take some troubleshooting steps, but discounting their bug report and deleting it from the wiki page just because you haven't noticed it is pretty bad.
tl;dr, not everyone experiences all bugs, so you not experiencing a bug doesn't invalidate it. Some bugs in fact can be extremely hard to reproduce, which makes debugging extremely painful sometimes.
But it also doesn't mean that most people will come across some of those issues.
Update to this: I turned my phone off and back on, and the problem went away. Hopefully will stay that way, but I reported it as a bug since it shouldn't have happened in the first place and could happen again.
The graphics and touch alignment quirks that appeared in the earlier betas seems to have been fixed. That is on the ipp. Not got beta on anything else. It only seemed affect a couple of games. But it is good now
I am experiencing this issue on my iPad Air. I tried disabling the passcode, rebooting, and re-enabling it, but the issue persists.
My screen doesn't always seem to be turning off, went to bed with 99% battery and woke up with 50%. I kept having to shut my screen off in the middle of the night. Then when I plugged it into the charger the screen light up and stayed like that until I shut it off
From what I read, this beta has more bugs then previous one.
This is not a way to do software, not expected from Apple.
This iOs9 is an absolute disaster, capable to cause lags also in the iphone 6s.
I hope most of them will be fixed, because a smooth UI is only a dream now and lags + bugs = android is better

They keep having problems with the lock screen. First it was a blank passcode screen, now it's asking for a passcode when one shouldn't (yet) be needed.
Speaking of which, the latter problem has returned for me despite my temporarily "fixing" it by rebooting the phone. Annoying.
Doesn't seem like that's the case for a lot of people. Some people are experiencing this or that, which isn't really much different from practically any other beta or actual release.

I believe the last iOS 8 update came out around August last year.
Where are you reading this? And what particular new bugs are you referring to that were not in the previous build?
Just realized this morning one of my bug reports was tended to. In the podcast app in CarPlay it now has a dialog box that tells you if cellular data is off for the app or podcast if it hasn't been downloaded yet. Didn't exist before. Just an example of an enhancement request that actually gets added.
My battery life on my 6S Plus took a hit on Beta 5 but has taken a huge dive on Beta 6. Got in my car with about 75% battery life, listened to a podcast via Bluetooth and used Waze for the length of the 30 minute drive. Now my battery is 42%. It was never draining that fast on 9.2.
To the folks complaining about battery, what apps or activities seem to be causing the drain? iOS itself is not causing it so something else would be. Myself b6 seems the same as previous betas. Typical usage of phone,safari, app updates,email and iMessage mostly and seems to be getting around 1 hr per 10%. Of course that changes the further down the scale it goes but point being iOS 9.3 b6 has not caused anything different for me. So curious what activities is it not happy with? GPS/Maps? games? etc.
After my mediocre battery performance, I killed all apps running in the background and did a hard restart.
Upon booting back up, the phone felt noticeably snappier and faster. Too early to tell with the battery so far, but I've been using the phone for about an hour and am still at 95%.

Does anyone know if Siri finally has a humorous response to "Call the TARDIS"? I will not rest until it is added.
Also, I'm very interested in using this WiFi calling thing. I don't have service on my phone (but the SIM still shows that I have Verizon and how many bars I have), so WiFi calling could help me out a lot.
