Screen Brightness Issue

 

After upgrading their iPhone/iPad from iOS 9 to iOS 10, some users reported that the screen is much less bright. That's because users have turned on the Reduce White Point feature on iOS 9 and on iOS 10, this feature is set to decrease the brightness by 50%. To get rid of the dim screen, just go to Settings >General> Accessibility>Increase Contrast> Reduce White Point, and toggle off the feature.

3D Touch Freeze

 

When switching apps with 3D touch, the system freezes and doesn't recover until 5 or 6 seconds later. This bug drives some users crazy, after all, they have got used to the convenience of 3D touch. Guess they still have to wait for some days to be able to enjoy 3D touch feature in iOS 10.
