Anyone on the latest iOS beta experiencing bad battery life?

Fine this side.

I usually let the battery run down completely once updating to a new beta. Then do a full charge. If I don't, battery life is all over the place.

I did on my Air 2 for about 3 or 4 days after the last update, it went completely flat on me and died twice and after the 2 full recharges it seems to have recalibrated and sorted itself out (or perhaps a rogue app got an update and stopped sucking the life out the battery). Back to normal now.

So been using HERE Maps in place of Google & it's rather good.

I have the full odd 300mb local maps saved for offline use. I find the 3D Touch for home rather good. Lock on is instant. UI is dead easy & spot on.

Rather good hey

Here's a great tip I just found out.

I've found it a bit frustrating trying to edit a passage or place the cursor to correct a typo, but now I find out that if you press the keyboard 3D Touch style, you can control the cursor and place it anywhere in the passage.

Absolutely brilliant. What a game changer this is for me :)

Yup...it's fairly well known but rather handy; I use it often as well. It's a "trackpad" mode similar to how you use a two finger gesture on the iPad kb on iOS 9.

Funny how life is, I knew about the trackpad mode on the force touch phones, I hadn't realised there was the same thing on my Air 2 :p

Works really well.

I've noticed that my camera is slow to open recently. Normally I unlock the device and press the camera app and it takes a few seconds to get focus. Usually it's just a blur but it looks random rather than a blur of the picture in front of me.

I'm wondering if it's with 9.2.1.

Anyone else?

Yip. Had the same issue since I got the phone, even before 9.2.1. The camera opens put its frozen for up to 5 seconds sometimes.
Can be a bit irritating, especially when you want that pic quick

Thanks. Sorry for you, but good to know it's not just me :p

Fairly basic design but has a handy 3D Touch function.

Paid App buts it's currently Free.
