I still won't use bedtime since I set separate alarms with different music. It just sucks that I can't organize them.

Huh, yeah I had to turn my phone up. Those sounds would never wake me up. It's like waking up to an Apple commercial. Guess I'm sticking to the old alarms. Too bad you can't pick your own music and volume with Bedtime.

You can change it. Just understand the logic of why you have to push the button now.
Touching the Touch ID (especially on TouchID v2 post 6S) will zip past the lock screen and you'll completely miss all the notifications or widgets.
Now they'd made it so a button press is the choice to unlock the phone, so you have control over whether you want to look at the lock screen or open the phone.
Yeah, especially when what they replaced that area of the 'swipe up menu' isn't very useful to me. I never use AirPlay Mirroring, Airdrop, or Nightshift. I'd much rather have playback control in that area, as it was before.
Yeah, but this doesn't seem permanent. I noticed it stayed on music controls immediately after, but after I stopped listening to the podcast and went back to listen a few hours later, sure enough I had to swipe the menu again to get to the playback controls again.
Sure, this is only mildly annoying, but it's just a bit frustrating to see functionality that worked perfectly before (for my needs at least) made a bit more sluggish than it was before. For me, all this AirPlay and Airdrop stuff could've been moved to the second page.
Yes you can. If your phone can do Raise to Wake, the screen will already turn on without pressing any buttons. If not, you can read the lock screen by pressing the power/lock button.
An interesting thing to note is that Rest finger to open is enabled by default if you already have the AssistiveTouch shortcut enabled.
When I first updated, I thought "Oh, they have Rest finger to open as the default option now? Guess they realised from the betas that Press to unlock was too big a change." Then my sister complained about having to press the home button all the time and I found out it is actually off by default unless AssistiveTouch is enabled.
Still available on the control panel for me

A lot of people do live in that "fantasy world". Plenty of Kodi installs near me. I need to be able to use them.
But actually, I don't think the dedicated audio player page that has anything to do with multiple output options. The audio output switching was on the old control center on the front page. The new version doesn't seem more catered to that at all.
I think it's more of a matter of showing the full music album and controls and providing focus on it.

Yeah, all I've ever wanted was when I come home, I want whatever I was listening to on my phone to start playing from my Mac. I don't listen to my phone at home, and can't imagine most people are. Whenever I go to someone's house, they're playing music from their MacBook. But this still doesn't exist as a feature. If anything would be a perfect use of Handoff, it would be that.

You have to turn off reduce motion. I don't understand why, but otherwise it doesn't work.
settings > general > accessibility > reduce motion
Assuming you mean brightness: Settings > Display & Brightness or on the left screen in Control Center. Same as before.
I kinda thought the same thing when I first saw it, but it does remember which page you're on. And the layout is nicer to me...
They wouldn't have been able to fit Home stuff in there without an extra page anyway so they probably figured it'd make sense to split the audio stuff to a new page while they're at it.

Want to mention that this runs VERY well on iPhone SE! 
Used it since public beta 2.
Used it since public beta 2.
I think it's smart they added that to iOS 10, since I do know quite a few people who complained of how fast touch ID worked they hardly saw notifications.
Though personally, I just turned on the 'rest finger to open' option under Accessibility and I think this works better for how I use my phone. If I want to check the time or just notifications, I can just lift the phone from my pocket without touching the home button and see that information. If I want to unlock my phone, I like I can rest my thumb on the home button as I take the phone out from a pocket and it's already unlocked without having to push the home button. Definitely will be testing it out over the coming weeks, but so far I like it.

Thanks, yeah that's what I meant.
I didn't need to go left in the control panel before 🤔

Yeah I think that's right. The setup is better for the masses, but if you're a power user happy with "raise to wake", then maybe you can opt-into "rest finger to open".
Personally on iPhone 6 Plus, I don't even have "raise to wake". It's a 6S and higher feature only.
The problem with doing that is that simply having the screen on isn't enough for interaction with many notifications, you gotta Touch ID to authenticate yourself

The new keyboard noises were kind of a shock. 9 years of subconscious attachment to the "click click" and now it's gone.
I think it's fine though. Seems like a less "skeumorphic" noise now that we as a culture understand touch keyboards and don't necessarily expect it to make a 'click' sound like a physical keyboard.

That can definitely be an issue, but for me, I suppose I don't really interact with notifications a whole lot. I use it to periodically check if an important email or message came in since my phone is usually on silent, otherwise it goes back in my pocket. Raise to wake makes that functionality more convenient. If I really need my phone for something, I also like that the phone can be 'woken' and unlocked as soon as I have it at eye level. Sure, it means you might miss notifications, but my message and mail app on the home screen are already telling me about anything unread, and that's essentially all the notifications I really care about.
I haven't really used the Music app much since I got fed up with its jankiness in iOS 9, but for what it's worth, I hated the look of the iOS 10 News app when I saw screenshots of it. The super bold text was the complete opposite of the super thin post iOS 7 text.
But it took about a minute of using the new News app to completely love it and how much it's improved over the previous one.
Yeah, I'm not going to defend that change. It's now on two screens and has, from what I can recall, less functionality to boot. Not having the ability to "love" a track from there is one of my biggest gripes.
I found out by holding on a link and it gives you the option of Split View.
There's other ways listed on this website too.

The changes to the interface are pretty good overall. The Today page I feel like I'd use more now. Don't like iMessage though, tbh, and would like the old one back. New emoji design for the smileys doesn't seem better to me. Everything is wicked fast on the 6S, though. The update on the iPad Pro 9.7 is very good too.
Haven't seen it mentioned, but it seems to me that Night Shift has more granularity towards the Less Warm side of the scale now? I used to use it all the way to the left and it was still fairly warm, but that same setting is more blue now. This is great as I can more closely dial it to an accurate white balance and possibly run Night Shift all the time now (don't understand Apple's penchant for ~6900K default, maybe the new 7 display is better)
Also, time/date on the lock screen looks awful. Way too much weight on the font.
Also, also, Raise to Wake + Rest Finger setting = bliss. It's like a more refined Moto X experience that I missed.

one of the BIGGEST improvements in the iMessage app are youtube embeds.
it embeds the video, it's silent by default, it doesn't go to full screen when you tap it.
Essentially you can do "reaction gifs" WITH sound.
Youtube should add functionality so you can search for youtube vids straight from iMessage.
i just had a long conversation with AppleCare+ (for the sake of having my iPhone 6 replaced) and i sent this https://youtu.be/MJXww8aizAM to my girlfriend. It's perfect. Game changer.
btw, if anyone's wondering, like me, where stickers will be placed on the recepient's end when you attach them to a message bubble (since those are on the other side for the recepient) -> the sticker is always to the right of the bubble. so any kind of stickers that do some "pointing to the left" will work for both the sender as well as the recepient.

I updated to the GM (iOS 10.0.1) with a beta profile last week, but removed the profile and tried to update to the retail release. My OTA check doesn't find any update, has it been released yet or is it supposed to be put up later today? This thread is quite huge so hard to find the information.

How do I go back to the old way of just unlocking my device with a fingerprint instead of depressing the home button?
Put your finger on the button, and wait for it to unlock. No pressing needed
Went over to Mum's updated her iPhone 6+. Had to teach her how to use the fingerprint reader since normally she would ALWAYS slide enter password even though I told her she had no reason to lol. Lets hope it sticks and she learns to use finger reader with no issues. 🙃
I have a 6 plus and there is still some occasional slowdown but I'm running with reduce motion of. But so far it's smoother than iOS 9.X
Edit: well seems iOS 10 broke YouTube with its new volume bar. Now I hope Google fixes it
I was in your mindset when beta 1 hit but I since exclusive use bedtime as my alarm. I have to say it does work and makes waking up more pleasant.
Broke how? I've been using YT on iOS10 for weeks now with no issues.
Relatively new to the iPhone family, got my SE just a few weeks ago. Liking the changes introduced in iOS10, especially raise to wake+resting my finger on touch id to unlock. So smooth!
However saw this when I did a Siri web search a while ago. Squashed Bing icon, what the hell!

Shame so many people seem to not be into the new unlock process. I prefer it as it allows you to check Notification Center and your widgets easily after raising to wake without going all the way into the phone. The issue before was Touch ID unlocking it too fast for those screens to be useful.

Yeah I've started trying to do it in one full motion to get used to it. Press the button, wait for Touch ID to kick in.

Just updated and I hate it. Lots of new features that I don't really need, and as someone who's been swiping to unlock for years I don't welcome the home button unlocking at all.
Is it possible to downgrade back to 9?
