iPhone 6 and 6s should now work properly with Apple's Smart Battery Case. According to the iOS 10 release notes, the case will no longer cause devices to panic.
Photos - Apple plans to reprocess facial recognition data in beta 5, so all named, favorited, and merged face data will be reset.
Lock sound - There's a new sound when locking the iPhone. It sounds like a door closing.
New Output icon - The output icon seen in the Control Center, the Music app, and other locations in iOS has been slightly tweaked. It is no longer represented by headphones and instead resembles a triangle with sound waves.

Settings - The "Home" section in the Settings app has been removed on the iPhone, as it served no purpose, but it remains available on the iPad.
