I experience all the same issues as you. Not great when I paid $2200 for this phoneI’ve had some more serious bugs since updating everything, such as a HomeKit automation I’ve had for years that closes the garage door at night in case I forgot, actually opening the garage door. Kinda freaky. Had to turn off that automation, which was a main reason I bought a smart garage door opener years ago.
I’ve also noticed a ton more spam coming through on my iCloud mail, usually as obvious fraud sweepstakes and giveaways that have lots of bad grammar, both in spelling and weird punctuation and random capitalization. Any halfway decent AI could suss that out. I could probably write an algorithm that could filter most of them pretty easily.
I also keep having bugs where portions of the UI will disappear. Examples:
- All of the home items in control center will disappear
- The volume level indicator will not appear when using the hardware buttons
- The bottom tabbed UI element in built-in apps like Clock is missing the blurred background making it hard to read
- The top blurred background in apps like Safari will go missing making icons overlap web content
- Widgets will just not load anything on the Home Screen after reboots, even when opening the app, trying to make a change to the widget, or force quitting the app. It just fixes on its own after a few hours.
Also, every time I have a focus mode change the Home Screen for work in the morning, there is a little pop up box I have to dismiss telling me how it works. It’s really annoying and idk if it’s a bug or if I’m just not doing it right. I kinda hate the screwiness of focus modes. So much tinkering around.
Got a tip for us?

I beta tested for months prior to release…but on an iPhone 13…there’s no way one could have beta tested the combination of hardware and software that is resulting in these problems. Each of these highly publicized problems is happening with a phone that wasn’t available to beta testers.
Creating processes is part of working together. Being in the same physical location helps to create processes that work and stick.
Why do you think Indians don't advertise their skills on Linkedin? Of course they do.
The "designed in California" moniker really means designed, developed, QAed in California.
And when we look at the alternative phone system, we see sooooo many more bugs

WFH doesn’t cause a decrease in productivity, creativity and quality.Absolutely. WFH decreases quality. Hybrid is not much better.
Apple tells employees to return to office 3 days a week from September
Chief Tim Cook looks to preserve ‘in-person collaboration that is so essential to our culture’www.ft.com
This is Tim Cook's nice way of saying WFH has caused a decrease in productivity, creativity, and quality.
Tim Cook has all the data that suggests WFH does not work. He is calling all workers to return to the office. Anonymous Macrumors forum posters do not have more data than Tim Cook no matter how confident they sound in their forum posts.
Poor management, and poor toolsets cause a decrease in productivity, creativity and quality
Poor management is part of the issue of WFH. It's much harder to manage remote teams.
People like to deflect all the problems of WFH away from... WFH.
If you’re unable to manage staff that are WFH. Either;
You have a management team who are unable to adapt to it.
Or
You are hiring the wrong people since they can’t be trusted to do work without micro management.
For software development, all the required tools are available from home, the only reason it can’t get done is because you’re hiring staff who cannot work without a manager watching over their shoulder.
Poor hiring != WFH’s fault
Before covid, only the most disciplined and skilled members of the work force received permission to permanently work from home. After covid, everyone, good or bad, skilled or not skilled, was allowed to work from home.
What could possibly go wrong?
Not had this issue thankfully. Not exactly the perfect symbiosis of hardware and software though. My 14 pro touchscreen still occasionally dies on updates or if I need to power cycle![]()
Apple has acknowledged yet another iOS 16 bug impacting customers of the iPhone 14, this time related to cellular data and SIM card support.
![iphone-14-lineup.jpg]()
In a memo seen by MacRumors, Apple acknowledges that some users of the iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Plus, iPhone 14 Pro, and iPhone 14 Pro Max may see a message that reads "SIM Not Supported" appear on their device. After displaying the pop-up message, the iPhone may entirely freeze, according to the memo. Apple says it's "investigating" the issue and notes it's not a hardware problem, adding that customers should keep their software up to date.
In the meantime, as the investigation is ongoing, Apple advises customers to wait a few minutes to see if the message disappears. If it doesn't, customers should not attempt to restore the device, Apple emphasizes in the memo. Instead, customers should head to an Apple Store or authorized service provider where a request for technical assistance can be submitted, and the issue resolved.
This is not the first time Apple has acknowledged a bug for its latest iPhones. In the days and weeks following its launch, the iPhone 14 has had several issues, including issues with device activations and camera vibrations. Both issues have been addressed in subsequent iOS 16 updates. Apple is currently testing iOS 16.1 with developers and public beta testers, with a launch expected at the end of this month.

iOS and macOS were not perfect on release prior to WFH either. Waiting for the .1 or .2 release didn't start during covid. Apple did whole releases with no new features to only focus on bugs. Trying to blame these or other issues on WFH seem a bit misguided.
More likely, this is another case of Apple's secrecy setting up hard to test situations.
There are plenty of global business that were operating mainly WFH prior to covid also.
What I honestly can’t get in my head is that it’s potentially a cultural issue. In the UK and EU we don’t have the same poor treatment of employees as is found across most of NA.
I think since covid what companies in NA are now finding is that now a lot are working at home, they are finding it difficult to crack the whip and bully staff into working unhealthy hours instead of spending time with their family.
software is going down in apple. Monterrey was garbage on macs and the new ios 16 is turning iphones act like android. slow and wayyy buggy.
Wfh strikes again. No wait, wfh defenders are the hardest working people on the planet and history. 🙄
Could this be the most buggy iPhone launch ever? Has anyone does an assessment on this?
"People people. I have the most tremendous productivity working from home. Incredible productivity. Frankly, no body has more productivity than me."
I wonder if the 'Sim not supported' issue is due to certain network carriers sim's not being enabled in the software or certain network carriers sim's not being in the software at all but Apple do not want to disclose which network carriers are affected because it would look embarrassing for Apple thus why they are calling is a 'software bug'.
What a disastrous launch. Apple needs to clamp down. They are looking like amateurs.
this is partly true, there is also another workforce that is "ghost work" which they could be working from anywhere in the country. They sadly don't know for whom/what they are working for.. :| and must be under strict NDAs.
