Well good to know that they actually reached out to apple ... but I'm not too sure we will see a fix anytime soon

[Edit] Beta 5 did not solve the problem

10.1 beta 3 has sadly not fixed my issues with the CTRLi, it actually seems to be disconnecting faster. Maybe it depends on the game, I have been testing with Horizon Chase.

Correct, it hasn't fixed the problem. But, at least for me, the disconnect rate has significantly decreased ...

[update] Nope, not solved in iOS 10.1 Beta 3 .... The disconnects appear to occur less frequently tho.

yup, 10.1 Beta 3 seems to have solved the problem. Played for 2 hrs sharp using the CTRLi and no disconnects.

[edit] after another 2 hrs just one random disconnect - could be a fluke tho.

Just registered so I can contribute to the discussion. I too have the C.T.R.L.i and I am experiencing the same issues as described by another user - the pad goes off randomly, sometimes reconnecting solves the issues, at other times it wont reconnect or even restart until batteries are removed.

Haven't experienced any issues prior to iOS 10 updates. Currently on 10.0.2 on my iPad Air 2 and iPhone 7 -- both exhibit same issues.

I have a little bit of know-how, and will try to find out if the BT stack (implementation) in iOS 10 is the culprit. My hunch tells me its an ATT issue however. Its similar to SDP, but meant for low energy usage, and hence its likely that Apple chose it instead for MFI. Will report back with my findings. NB obviously even if ATT is at fault, there is nothing to be done, as the implementation is kernel level, and unlikely fixed by a kext.
