Sorry, can you please clarify your post?

wondering if there will be any new features implemented for the new IPhone 7

27 replies later... Can anybody tell us what the 10.1 beta brings to the table? Bug fixes? New features? Portrait Mode?

Usually the Update screen tells you what a given Update is all about. So far, there's nothing prompting me to download the beta token. I'll probably just wait for the Official Release.

How stable is the beta? Battery life??

Bug fixes and portrait mode for the 7 Plus. There have also been rumblings of improved memory management that takes better advantage of the apparent 3 GB RAM found in the 7 and 7 Plus.

How stable is the beta? Battery life??

Seems stable with no noticeable impact to battery life. Seems like more of a service release to me.

How stable is the beta? Battery life??

I've had two spontaneous restarts with this beta - one just last night. I had one time when the phone was unresponsive when I plugged the battery case into power. (Removing the phone from the battery case and replacing it fixed that one.)

Battery life is fine. (Of course it's hard to say when using the battery case, but I always have one day a week without it, and it was fine that day.)

These issues for me could have nothing to do with the beta - may be just one of those things that would have happened with 10.0.1 or 10.0.2 as well.

I tried to file Feedback (it is still "compressing", along with the two issues I tried to file on iOS 10.0, so, I guess they were never sent..). But "Dark Sky", which I installed last week, showed up a lot in the crash logs, so I just uninstalled it. Let's see if that helps.

Anybody else find animations a touch slower on 10.1 PB?

I'm using beta 10.1 with my 7, not sure if it's either the phone or the Beta but it does have problems connecting to my cars factory VW bluetooth automatically. Out of say 10 times 5 times it won't.... Apple need to fix this :-/

It's a now known firmware issue, I am hoping to see changes soon. When I started my diagnostics with Apple they noticed the BT issue right away. But there were other issues with my phone, so it's been changed out. However talking to Apple they are getting more and more issues with BT connectivity. Hope we get a fix soon. I have to still turn off BT forget the device and reconnect.

So you reckon a software update may fix this?

Yep...once they figure out what the issue is...

[Craig]

Yes, hoping to see it within a week or two at most. I hope 10.0.3 will be a fix.. but who knows for sure?

Public Beta 2 is out.

Quick download, in the Preparing Update stage...

Up and running. Hope this fixes the Bluetooth music audio from cutting out

Has anyone with Verizon noticed LTE connectivity seems better on beta 2? It seems to be more stable. I noticed the carrier is now 26.0 it could be just a placebo effect. Just wanted someone else to confirm.

[Craig]

go to u tube will tell you all about it

Tell who about what? Who are you replying to and on what topic?


Anyone know if the Beta 2 has any BT updates. When I set up my iPhone 7 as new I did not install the public beta profile. However considering it again if there are some fixes. Thanks in advance.

I too got carrier settings version 26.0 on my iPhone6... Want seeing any issue before...

I was having trouble keeping LTE in certain places especially some of the new XLTE areas (Raleigh NC where I work). Going to 3G a lot. I had to turn off VoLTE or my calls would drop. I noticed after I updated to beta 2 my LTE is stable and I turned VoLTE back on and made a few calls with no issues. So here's hoping.

I just tried it in my car and I'm not seeing a fix. My issue might be different than yours though. My issue is that it takes a while for it to connect. I have to push the stereo power button on and off a few time before it will finally route the music through the car. This beta doesn't fix it.

Could be similar.. sometimes BT works, sometimes it does not. When it does not, I have to either Toggle BT on/and off, and even that does not often work. Then I need to forget device from the phone, and re-pair to the stereo. It's enough of a "no fix" to make me want to wait installing the PB again.

Thanks

So I saw on another thread that the developer beta had a choice in accessibility to keep reduced motion off but a separate toggle for the screen effects. I don't see that option. I thought the betas were similar

Are there really any new amazing features for iPads or iPods and not just iPhones? Unlike the beta for 10, I don't feel anywhere as strongly about testing 10.1 currently. However, if there's something cool for the devices I have, I might think more about installing it.

The option is there in the public beta, but only shows when Reduce Motion is toggled on.
