Apple Preparing iOS 16.1.1 as Widespread Wi-Fi Bug Persists

I don't know if its THE purpose (aside from the battery problems on older devices to force upgrades), but I do think that iOS and iPadOS are just becoming so convoluted and complex from what the originally started as. I've had every single iPhone and every single iOS and yes some had bugs here and there, but nothing was ever a show-stopper type of bug. I wish Apple would separate the installed default applications from the OS and update them as needed through the App Store like Google does with Android. Apple does tie in WAY too much into the yearly OS update which A, forces people to buy new devices and B, makes everyone wait for certain app updates and even additional Apps such as iPadOS Weather, and still no calculator which could just be added literally at any time.
I use the Xfinity-provided Arris DOCSIS 3.0 modem. Except for one time, never had any trouble with my iPhone 12 under iOS 16.1. 🤔
I had wi-fi problems on the ipad 16.1 restarted both it and router no go. I then ‘forgot‘ and reconnected to the network in WiFi settings and so far problem solved.
Strange.Hopefully, it fixes the battery life issue as well. With iOS 16.1 my battery life on iPhone 14 Pro Max 1TB has not been that great
My iPhone 14P Max has 91% at 6:40 pm and it’s off the charger since 6:30 am.
I used it a bit today but I disabled background app refresh, turned off always on display and disabled Siri learn from apps individually
I have Wi-Fi issues but on macOS Ventura. Every once in a while, after waking up the mac from sleep, I have to turn Wi-Fi off and back on for it to work. Never had that issue before on any previous macOS version.
iOS8 made the wifi connection on my iPad very flaky. Many people reported it, yet it took Apple a leisurely four releases (yes, four) until it was fixed. I never upgrade any Apple devices until the bugs are fixed. I like the battery life on my iPhone 13 Pro, and my wifi connections, so I'm holding out until Apple fixes iOS/iPadOS 16. And if that means I have to wait until 17, so be it.
I see beta testing has not wrapped up.
Thank God this issue is about to be fixed.
Hopefully in Beta 2 of 16.2 as well. 🤞🏻

Please fix laggy animations during gameplay and app interaction!!! 🙏🤞
Never had this WiFi issue with my iPhone 13 mini. The thing I’m struggling with is overheating.
My iPad on iPad 16.1 is doing the same thing so hopefully they release a fix for that too. So annoying.
Thank God they did not release their in-house modem yet. Please stick with Qualcomm, leave it to the pro's.
I always wait until the .5's, the .5's is where it really all comes together. But as always, thank you all for beta testing.
It sounds like iOS could use its own “Snow Leopard” release.
I am always up for testing new software and am more than willing to accept the bugs that come with that.
But the amount of dumb bugs that get into production with Apple these days is laughable and really not up to the standard you expect from them.

I'll be staying on 15 for a while.
I feel that sometimes the actual problem is some updates need a proper clean install. Just wipe the device & start again with clean install because some bugs randomly stay in the background.
Just a few short years ago I would assume this was a joke.
