Release notes

What changed

Original editorial synthesis. Linked references appear with the claims they support and in the source ledger.

What survives

A complete Apple-authored developer PDF survives for the first iOS 10 beta. Its title identifies Beta 1, its document-numbered body runs through page 18, and it retains the original component headings, functionality exclusions, notes, workarounds, and known-issue sections.[1][2]

A baseline, not an invented diff

Because this is the first retained prerelease document, the structured entries are limited to explicit Beta 1 exclusions, component notes, compatibility changes, features, and known issues. They establish what Apple documented at the milestone; they do not claim that every entry first appeared on that day or that this selection exhausts the build.[3]

Selected coverage

The index covers feature availability, Apple Pay, Pencil and photo capture, backup compatibility, networking security, Exchange, accessibility, Messages extensions, Music, notifications, Photos, Safari, Swift Playgrounds, and UIKit behavior.[4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33]

Archive boundary

Apple’s current documentation archive exposes the final September SDK state, not a navigable sequence of the 2016 beta revisions. The retained Beta 1 PDF is therefore cited as a third-party-preserved Apple document, and each occurrence was independently reviewed against its cited page before publication. No build number, community observation, or later cumulative note is assigned to this route.[34][35]
