So I powered on my phone at approximately 10 AM this morning and as of 3:55 PM I am down to 50%. Using the last version of iOS 9 I would normally be about 70-75%. The 10.0.2 update did nothing to improve the battery life and this is ridiculous!

I've always wondered why you are so quick to update your iOS versions before letting other folks be the beta testers
But I'm glad to hear the wisdom of those who have done so, since even if a jailbreak comes out, it sounds like I should decline the "up"grade.

There is a lot of bad in iOS 10 (iMessage is a clown show) but Widgets are awesome now that they are accessible from the lock screen, they've transformed the way I use my iPhone for quick information like my calendar, world clock, speed dial/text, commuting drive time, fast notes, weather, scores, access playlists, etc. all accessible in one swipe with one hand and while the phone is still locked. Very useful.
So many cool Widgets in the App Store, definitely check them out if you haven't yet.

I've also had battery issues with iOS 10; however, this doesn't compare with the drain I'm getting with my Apple Watch with watchOS 3. It drains down to 15-20% after a work day, compared to 60-70% with watchOS 2.

It is absolutely, utterly perplexing, why people immediately accept something as complex as an iOS upgrade on the day it's publicly released. There is absolutely no upside and the potential for significant downside. At this point in time, it's literately impossible for Apple to simulate the type of testbed, in their lab environment, that is equivalent to shoving the update out to 1 billion devices, in the wild, simultaneously.
But, as you stated, these folks are great "canary's in the coal mine" for the rest of us I guess.
See you all next year for iOS 11

I had a new issue yesterday. While I'd like to blame iOS I really don't know what happened. My phone shut itself off for low battery even though the battery meter said I had 57% left. I waited a bit and it finally turned back on, only to turn back off a few minutes later.
I plugged it in for a few minutes and then did a hard reset, and it seemed to go back to normal. Not sure what happened.

And if the beta program was as "robust" as you think it is, we likely wouldn't continue to see the same fundamental issues on day one; year after year, after year, after year...
