Yeah, but is it schnappy?
Crap. No fix for the consistent crashing of the Music app. At least not in the release notes. Really hope that’s fixed, making me regret upgrading big time. I’ll try this update today and hope for the best.
My Music app doesn’t crash
That’s lucky for you. Mine crashes on the home screen playback controls a couple times a day, and every single time when I scroll down a long playlist (with over 700 songs). It gets about 1/3rd of the way down and completely freezes, then eventually crashes. This is reproducible 100% of the time and happens on my wife’s iPhone and my iPad as well. It’s maddening.
I hope they fixed the LONG PAUSE when you use touch ID.
Touch ID is insanely fast on my 7+.
Touch ID is insanely fast on my 6S too. I have to use the power button if I just want to view the lockscreen.
Never had any issues with Apple Music crashing, I’d suggest a restore. There is no pause when using Touch ID, you have to press now.. you can change that behavior in settings. Touch ID is as fast as it ever was. Alternatively. reset your finger prints to perhaps get a better scan of them
Anyone know if the issue below was addressed?
iOS 10 backups are easier to crack, but Apple promises to fix security flaw
Forensic researcher claims iOS 10 local backups are easier to crack since the security protection is 2,500 times weaker than in iOS 9, but Apple promised to roll out a patch for the security flaw.
Thank you.
Still no saving of linked images in Mail and Safari – lost in iOS 10.0. (On iPad – not sure about iPhone.)
• Improves performance of sharing websites from Safari to Messages
I sure hope this fixes the issue where Safari will lag big time when trying to share a link via Messages (and Messages only, all other sharing options work in a speedy manner).
Improved compatibility with third party accessories
I hope that means the skipping I get in my cars Bluetooth connection is fixed. Major annoyance for me.
I updated my 3 day old iPhone 7+ this morning and it bricked it. Tried all the processes I know to fix the issue including full factory restore. Nothing. Went to apple store and it stumped them too, they couldn’t fix. So they are going to replace, of course the supply is so tight I am now looking at another weeks wait to get a replacement. Have had iPhones since version 1 and not had this issue before. I am posting only because I am interested to know if I was just the unlucky sap that received a dodgy phone or if it is a 10.1 issue with 7 / 7 + phones. Given I am in Aus and the release was today many probably have not attempted the update yet.
Again, an iOS update completely iPhone & Apple Watch specific with STILL no compelling features or anything really useful or exciting for the iPad user.
I am beginning to think that iOS 10 is never going to have any must have features for my iPad Pro.
I may be skipping iOS 10 for its entire run until the next iteration of iOS comes next year and see how things pan out, then.
So disappointed in Apple’s direction for iOS 10, so far.
NOTHING iPad-centric, to date, in iOS 10.
