• Screenshots have squared corners again
• New splash screen when opening the App Store
• New splash screen for the Photos app
• New Heart icon on watchOS 6 beta 6
• If Apple Watch is in watchOS beta 5, beta 6 is automatically downloaded to watch. No need to manually download beta 6 from Watch app
• “3D Touch” like “long press then slide to select menu options” is gone in iPadOS, except for apps in the dock.

Remaining Issues:
• Dynamic Wallpaper is still somewhat broken - the bubbles start disappearing and never reappear over time

• Home App in Control Center doesn't disappear after using a device that has 2 functions combined into one switch like a ceiling fan with light. Have to hard-reset the phone
• When type in Safari, pressing “return” doesn’t always create a new line and first letter doesn’t always capitalise. Usually it takes two tries and capitalisation alternate between each return
• There is still no 3D Touch actions on share sheet, for example on music app
• Playlist artwork still shuffles randomly and never match the right artwork after using music app for a while. This happens mainly on iTunes synced playlist
• When tapping Sandbox account under Settings app, iTunes & App Store, settings app will crash

• Even when not using iPad, battery drain is still very obvious. Smart Keyboard folio is attached.
