Poll: iOS 10 dev beta 3 as a daily driver

[d5aqoëp]

All the 3 betas have worked perfect for 1 week. After 1 week I don't know what trips inside, the phone starts crashing, springboard respringing, forgetting mail passwords, randomly changing notification sounds.

I have had similar oddities. I didn't notice anything too bad after installing PB2 last week. Some small things, but nothing major. Now this week, I'm seeing many crashes, even with the Messages app. I have rebooted a few times to no avail.

This is my first time trying a beta on my phone, and I tell you what. If they all are this good going forward, I have no fear making it my daily driver.

Running it both on SE & IPP 9.7. Have springboard crashes on IPP, no other issues on either one.

I am using Beta 3 as daily driver from its birth. Battery charge duration is ok; sometimes hangs when showing apps switcher; no other issues .

On a 6s+. It lags for me when I 3D Touch a message notification from the lock screen. It takes a couple seconds for the reply window to load. This happening with everyone?

If I try ios10 will my watch still work with my phone? (Apple watch)

Battery life is significantly less but that's okay with me. I really enjoy the look and feel of this iOS. Apple maps is greatly improved, widgets are actually useful , and I like the way notifications look - they seem to float on the screen. A lot of subtle changes, but very noticeable.

I feel like that's the theme for this year'a iPhone. minor updates to software and hardware, but meaningful and well-thought out changes. Some might say this year's iPhone is the phone that should have been released last year.

Installed PB3 on my iPhone 6 yesterday, pretty impressed so far. Some lags here and there, but no major crashes.

It was pretty laggy animation wise on my 6s+ so went back to 9.3.3

It was quicker than 9 in a few places though, so fingers crossed.

Bugs don't bother me unless I cannot make a call or receive one. But a battery drain bothered me. 1% battery drain every 3 mins on normal browsing is not acceptable. So I rolled back to 9.3.3.
iPhone 6 with 194 battery cycles with only 3% wear should get me at least 8 hrs with normal usage, but I get only 6 hrs on full charge. Un acceptable for me.

Beta 1 was surprisingly smooth for me. Beta 2 fixed some bugs, but added features so more bugs. Beta 3 again more features and more bugs. I don't mind driving a beta daily, how else you going to find the issues and report them, right? But Beta 3 so far is the worst for daily use. So beware.

The biggest issue I've countered is trying to change the alarm sound force closes the clock. It worked the first time but hasn't after that.

It's a little tough to type in a forum without the page jumping to the bottom, and Notification Center sometimes freezes up, but other than that everything is good.

That's probably THE most annoying bug right now actually! And the headphone clicking noise on my iPad Air when scrolling in Safari.

Yeah, that too. I got around the typing bug by just using Tapatalk though.

I also have this question and would like to know if my Apple Watch will still work? Anybody know?

I have iOS 10 PB2 on my iPhone and my Watch is on the regular 2.2.2 or whatever the current software is and everything is peachy keen.

All good with apple watch here too - no difference that I can see after upgrading iphone to iOS 10

I tried iOS 10 for about a Week on an iPhone 6S and iPad Air 1.

iPhone 6S : Good performance, however after a while, lots of screen freeze (like 4-5 seconds) about 3-4 times a day. Pretty annoying.

iPad Air 1 : For some reason my keyboard got very laggy in tons of situations (not related to autosearch in safari), often wouldn't register some keys. Got back to iOS 9, all word flawlessly.

I've seen a few problems while attempting to receive a call. Kinda of scary, but I'm sticking to the beta still for now.

And, I still get up to two days of battery. Even on the 10 beta, though it did reduce some. Expected since the Betas do a heck of a lot of bug logging etc. Even play Pokémon Go occasionally. I'll never get the crazy smartphone obsession some folks have.
