I have no idea. My iPhone SE 2022 updated smoothly, quickly and fortunately seems to be free of the numerous problems some of the more expensive iPhone 14s are experiencing.
i also like doing clean installs. everything just works better. but it seems this time i am forced to OTA still not released on Itunes which is weird
I just woke up to a dead 14PM too. Looking at battery usage though it looks like camera was turned on and left on for 6 hours. Shouldn't it realize an inadvertent switch and turn off after a few minutes though?
I wonder if it’s some type of an “old wive’s tale” so to speak. I’ve done every single software update that’s been available OTA (which is going back many years on many different devices), and I’ve never had an issue.
But seriously, there was a reason why Apple released iOS 15.7--there were users that didn't want the risk of running very early versions of iOS 16, and all the complaints here have proven them right. I will finally upgrade when iOS 16.1 arrives in a few weeks.
Here's my trick to make sure the upgrade goes smoothly:
1. Close all currently running apps.
2. Plug the phone into a charger over Lightning cable.
3. Restart the phone once before attempting the upgrade.
My 13PM is running better than ever.
.One thing - this year definitely seem to be plagued by battery drain issues. The first few days my wife got her 14PM it was burning hot and dropping battery in a day for a few days. It settled down after that. Initially she turned off AOD but once it settled down she turned back on AOD.
Yep! Even with last year i kept my 11 pro on iOS 14 even till i sold it in January! It really takes 3+ months for the main bugs to get fixed in the past few years
That's no good! I assume for mine, it just died due to natural causes. Usually, I go to bed with 50-60%, so if I "miss" hitting the sweet spot on my wireless charger, it still has juice in the a.m. and I rapid charge it. Last night, I went to bed with it below 25%, I probably missed the charger and then it died.
But I plugged into charger for 35 mins. No luck. Tried the volume/power trick and it said "plug into Mac". Plugged into Mac and my options were update and restore.
Failed the first 3 times.....finally restored the 4th time.
Sucky, but it seems to be working as of now....
Not in the finder as of 01:10 PM EST / 10-11-2022. Are they doing a different rollup scheme?
Why? Because of a bunch of people complaining? That’s the internet. I’ve had no issues and it works fine.
It’s also good to update for security reasons as well.
I do hope you mean Apple Music, not iTunes - the latter hasn't been updated by Apple for about 6yrs. Not ideal from a software security standpoint.
Beyond these and a few other bugs/ghosts-in-the-OS/issues, I'm wondering if enough people will return their iPhone 14 Pro's in buyers remorse to REALLY push Apple to get better and faster at their iOS 16.x.x releases being more comprehensive?
It has to do with sloppy software design.
Period.
I had a 16 beta on my phone which had phenomenal battery life, despite my 85% battery.
16.0.3 runs a lot smoother for me and my battery doesn’t drain as fast anymore either.
I have 11/12/14 Pros in the house, the 11P with 75% battery is unbearable to use.
The 12P with a new rear system, ie. 100% battery lags sometimes on iOS 16
The 14P as well will stutter.
Now I see the experience improves with faster hardware, so there’s that + sloppy software + battery degradation
iTunes is still valid on Windows. And I actually use it rather than the apps on MacOS.
To a degree. Some of us still have to manage devices from an enterprise standpoint, which the last working version of iTunes helps, especially as it has the App Store. Personally, since I bought my children a S/D iPhone 6s each, managing their apps through that and family sharing and it asking for permission from me to download anything is a lot easier than letting them have unfettered access to everything iCloud based.
That said, I'll back up their devices with iTunes, and update iOS either OTA or through my Mac for them.
That said as well, has anyone had any issues getting to the full IPSW for 16.0.3? I'm just getting a blank page when going to the link provided by Apple.
BL.
I'm in agreement with enterprise support. Just where I work they've restricted iTunes due to Apple not have updated for Windows in so long
Definitely, but that’s not my point.
It’s apparent Apple can make software run good on seemingly all supported systems. They just choose to optimise for some less and less frequent.
Yet it keeps on happening, even after factory reset. Also, its not always an option to put the phone face down... on a charging pad for example.
Back in the day of iOS 3 or 4, these things just didn't happen because to unlock I always had to do a swipe first. Even when a notification just arrived. I would love to get that option back.
