Pros - you get to try it before everyone. you test out cool features.
Cons - you face many bugs if its your daily phone. Also, downgrading would mean you use an old backup because you cannot use a beta version's backup to restore

So far, the beta firmware is much better than the official firmware. (Only iOS 10 beta suffered from tons of bugs but Apple quickly settled it with iOS 10.0.1.)

*But of cos, use it at your own risk.

I agree. 10.2 Beta 7 is much better than the current 10.1.1 At least battery life is better i feel.

Looks like a number of ppl not getting AppleCare for some of the reasons like...dumping it for next iphone 7s or ip8 in couple of months time...or get AppleCare liao also sibei headache must wait so long wait this wait that get refurbished set again faulty set etc...really is buy liao cause ppl headache lol..must consider buy case or not must consider buy AppleCare or not...buy liao exchange later also headache refurbish set brown box la etc

No wonder see many ppl keeping their 6 and 6s and selling their 7 to offset their monthly subscription and get the nxt iphone comin in say 9-10 months ?

My 6s Plus is already around 13mths old and previously been playing Pokémon Go with it. On average after around 30mins with the game on (after full charge), will drop around 5-6%.

On my 7 Plus with the same amount, drops around 4-5%. Apple states the 7 Plus' battery is only 5% more than the 6s Plus and batt life up to 1hr more. So difference in batt life between these two is pretty minimal.

Having to use it as a shortcut. Like 3D Touch on the Settings app, lets you get in to Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Cellular and Battery settings directly.

3D Touch on the Flashlight gives you 3 settings as well. Bright, Medium and Low.
