Which? It's a real shame even with iOS 16 you can't browse old wallpapers. Ridiculous.
The public betas were/are always on my main iPhones: X, 11, 12, and now 13 Pro Max
Don’t temp me!!! 🤣😂 I’m hearing good things about it on multiple websites!
I haven't updated using iTunes in perhaps a decade. Always OTA over WiFi, initiated from the device itself. I'm surprised to hear anyone still updates from iTunes.
The technical term for that is "playing with fire".
Having trouble updating apps now.
Also have to keep resetting cellular because data keeps stopping.

I used to update OTA exclusively but have had some updates with issues that only were resolved by restoring. Although it was rare,(not saying it's less reliable) I've never had that happen since switching back to updating through iTunes/Finder..
I frequently do (and in fact just did). Not sure if I'm right or not, but like the idea that it downloads the full iOS and installs it instead of just incremental patches. I will sometimes install a small update like this one OTA, but I pretty much always do the yearly updates and the major mid year updates with iTunes. I have the time, so why not?
I’m afraid we’ll start seeing apps requiring iOS 15 soon forcing us to update.Still no love from Apple for those of us still on iOS 14.
Haven't seen any update for iOS 14 since October 2021.
Apple really wants the rest of us to get on the CSAM train.
Since updating to iOS 15 in the past month I’m having cellular data issues where I have to keep toggling airplane mode to restore data. Never had that problem with iOS 14.
Also long pressing on notifications to expand them there’s no close (x) option anymore. Try it on iOS 14. You’ll see a close option. iOS 15 it doesn’t.
I’m now having trouble updating apps in iOS 15.6.1 press update and it just returns to update app again so they broke something.
The bottom safari url bar still acts weird in privacy mode with scrolling thru favorites. I put it back to the top and it’s ok.
Still having trouble searching old iMessages. It finds the results but when you tap it it shows most recent messages. But iOS 14 had that problem.
iOS 15 gives you a few new emojis and Memojis options.
And now in Wallet when you pay using Apple Pay in iOS 14 when you choose another payment card you would have to press the back button to complete the purchase. In iOS 15 it automatically returns now so that one less step.
iOS 15 gives you more than one “do not disturb” mode.
There’s a few more apps available now on iOS 15 including Netflix gaming apps.
Can’t update some apps with this update.
Update: had to offload apps to get them to update. Still having trouble updating some additional apps without offloading them. What a pile of poop.

I’ve actually been yolo’ing the dev beta on my main device for years. Yes I know I’m a madman. But I like my life on the bleeding edge. 😈
I do backup often, though, especially before each update.

Do it. You know you want to.
Just make sure to backup before each update. And maybe set aside some cash for a new device just in case. 😂
I do. Although until the last iTunes update it was a PITA because I’d always get the 4000 error and would have to disable Touch ID to update. With that fixed, I’m back to doing iTunes upgrades exclusively.
iOS 15.6 had several beta and 2 RC but is still not perfect? Now there's iOS 15.6.1
I was hoping like iOS 15.5 it would go to iOS 15.6 then iOS 15.7

In the wild exploitation of a security issue ... better update right away.
I’ve been running iOS 16 PB on a secondary device for a month, no problems. Just took the leap with my main device. So far so good.
Not even attempting Ventura PB on my MBP. On my secondary Mac it is buggy as can be.

If you're ever expecting any software to be perfect... I've got some shocking news for you.
Sometimes it can be. I’ve written perfect software myself that has a faultless operational record with 100% uptime (embedded systems written in FORTH)! But with something as complex as iOS, it’s almost guaranteed that it’s riddled with bugs forever and a day.
Case in point, yesterday I thought I might delete loads of messages from the Messages app to tidy up my phone. I really don’t need hundreds of messages from certain people. So, press & hold the first message, choose More… then tick multiple messages and hit the delete button. Several times when I did this for a large batch of messages, say more than 75, the delete operation caused the Messages app to go poof and restart without deleting. Not the most important bug in the world, but they are always lurking ready to catch you out.
