Apple customer support called me today and said they have an iPhone reserved for me on Friday 9/16. A 256gb 7+ jet black at the store I wanted.

Really impressed with the way they handled this situation.

I sat on hold for 40 minutes last night and when I told them I wasn't able to pre-order 7+ Tmo on AUP because they were immediately out of stock at all MN apple stores the awkward kid told me "uhhhh sorry, just go there and ask them for a 7+ on launch day"

Nope, sitting here with a friend who has updated and not even getting the prompt. We can do stickers and the drawing little pictures thing, but no fireworks or full screen effects.

I figured out what the issue was - if you have "reduce motion" turned on, it turns off bubble effects and full screen effects. Which sucks, because i hate the ios animations, but I want to use the cool new bubble effects and full screen effects.

I guess either they'll change it in an update, or i'll use these new effects for a couple days, get sick of them, and then turn "reduce motion" back on.

Is there a big tutorial video for all of iOS10 features cause I have no idea what these features are besides iMessage. Not feeling these bubbles. Looks like we did a full circle back to Growl.

I think I sent one to my wife. I was doodling in the new box and apparently sent it without actually trying and got the little "delivered" message.

She's sleeping now and is usually super slow about updating her OS so I'm pretty sure she's still on iOS 9, so who knows what showed up on her phone. But it sent!

Anyone experiencing high sensitivity with third party keyboards? Seems like it's TOO response now with the Google keyboard. I keep getting mistyped words. Perhaps I just need to slow down now that the UI sped up.

On that last note, did Apple finally throttle back the speed governor? I recall in the IOS5-6 days there was a jailbreak tweak to change the artificial lag that the OS put on so that all of the devices went the same speed.

I think they're videos. I sent one to my gf, it said delivered, she hasn't replied because ... she's updating to iOS 10. But I think they're videos.

My iphones problems get even weirder; so sound refuses to play out of the speaker, and if it does it's distorted for a few and cuts out and bluetooth audio plays but cuts out after about 5 seconds, but if I make a phone call or receive one the audio works fine. :shrug:

Frustrating.

Take it to the apple store and have them look at it, something's going on in the hardware.

Unless I missed part of the conversation and you're a million miles away from one, in which case you gotta mail that sucker in.

Botched OTA Update on my 6s. Had to connect to iTunes and download 9.3.5 again. After that I downloaded iOS 10 and updated from within iTunes. Worked like a charm.
I love that I can type in two languages simultaneously now. I only wish I could hide one of the keyboards so that I could switch quickly between typing and emojis.

Also I don't really like the new look of the widgets. Especially the reminders widget looks stupid when empty. On iOS 9 it would just be invisible if there's no upcoming reminder...

Update on the keyboard front. I only have two keyboards now. English and emoji. But I can still type in German without any switching. The way it works is I have set my phones language to English. Under language and region there's a new column "preferred language order". At least I think it's new. There I added German below English. Works like a charm.

Hope this helps any of you bilinguals out there.

I think they made most transitions take around half the time they used to. It goes a really long way to making everything feel faster.

I kind of figured out my issue....it was Facebook Messenger. I deleted it and now I have sound again. I have no idea what was going on to cause that. I will probably send it in to be repaired again, but that was a weird bug.

Finally got a group on iMessage and it was fun for about 15 minutes then felt extremely like bitchteen's first messaging app. Though playing multiplayer pool inside messaging will have some legs i think.

Citymapper integration sounds pretty cool. I'm hoping these additions bring my friends back to iMessage because I am terrible at remember who uses which app.

About the OTA updates: I do incremental updates OTA, but if it's a major new version I connect to the Mac and update from there.

Anyone having an issue with the long press to bring up bubbles in chat. The long press in the arrow? Mine is apparently not working. It worked in beta 2 or 3 or the last time I tried it. It it's not working anymore. Did they take that out?

Do you have "reduced motion" disabled? If its on you don't get a lot of the new iMessage stuff which is seriously annoying because I don't really want all that extra UI bullshit. Apparantly disabling reduced motion disables the physics rendering engine that is responsible for these elements which all the new iMessage stuff reslies on.

I'm actually using the siri app suggestions now. Lift phone to wake, unlock with fingerprint, swipe left and get my most used apps right there. Feels slicker than bringing up the springboard and selecting the same app there.

I'm having some fun trying to discover any new 3D Touch gestures in iOS 10 that are actually useful. First one: the flashlight in control center can be 3D Touch...ed for low, medium, and high illumination. At least I can rest easy knowing that this pointless addition only took about 15 seconds of development time.

I MAY HAVE FINALLY SOLD MY iPHONE

Finally. Now, I need to see about how soon Apple's cancellation will hit AT&T.

My thing is, my iPhone has gone past "processing items" so I don't think I'll get it on Friday. However, if I cancel the order on Apple's site, I want to go to AT&T and see if I can buy it there, but I need it to be near instant so AT&T can see that I still have my Next upgrade.

Ugh, so purchased music that isn't downloaded looks like it's permanently included in your artist/album lists now and the only way to keep the phone from streaming it is to turn off streaming over cellular (which means it'll still show up if you play music on wifi). Which breaks the radio feature because it uses the same toggle.
