I have noticed that Beta 3 is a battery hog on my iPhone 6s Plus as well as Apple Watch. Huge battery hog on both. Otherwise nice and speedy.

On Beta 3, my mail app randomly says it was last updated 11/12/15 lol...it's no big deal though. I still get all my mail.

I noticed the wallpapers appear darker like a black filter is on top or behind menu icons in iOS 10. Not sure if that was in design or not

@Ledsteplin has seen the same thing. I'm wondering if it's to help make the icons pop. I'd love a darkening or even blur slider for the home screen.

I noticed battery life on the Dev Beta 3 is a hit or miss, some days it's very good and some days it's not so good. Not sure why, but overall having Dev Beta 3 on my Daily Driver isn't that bad...I welcome the opportunity.

Dev beta 3 has its quirks but I find it's just fine on a daily driver as long as you are willing to deal with a hiccup here and there. The biggest problem I've noticed is the app switcher will lock up at times, but it's getting to be less with each beta.

It's slow, app drawer freezes for around 5 minutes and the animations are beyond slow and horrible. All my apps freeze like crazy.

The app switcher does freeze from time to time, but it's not that extreme to keep me from using iOS 10 beta on my daily driver. I'm not having problems with my apps freezing like crazy, actually only one app is not working out of my 400+ apps. May I suggest a reinstall of iOS 10 Dev Beta 3 or maybe try iOS 9.3.3.
