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.
This is surprising, never faced this issue even on my iPhone 8 with a non functioning proximity sensor. I say bugs, but shouldn’t everyone have it? Check if your phone screen turns off on a phone call when you cover the earpiece. If it’s not going black, that’s a defective proximity sensor
 
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.
Yes, I will agree to that. I faced zero slowdowns on my 12Pro on iOS 15. However the experience is much worse on iOS 16.
I most definitely did not expect lags/freezes on my new 14Pro.
Bad software development.

This did happen on my SE but the Touch ID prevented a lot of trouble. And now on the 13 mini it has gotten worse.
So far I've limited the "damage" by turning off several options:

Tap to Wake turned off
Lift to Wake turned off
Turned off "Today view" on the lock screen

I'm still looking for the option to disable screen shot button (power+volume up)
 
My wife has had this twice now. This is a nasty bug
This happened to me once the day after I got my 14 Pro Max but hasn't happened since. Oddly, it happened on my 12 Pro Max as well but didn't on my 13 Pro Max. I suspect it's a software issue because on my 12PM, it disappeared after a few updates and it hasn't happened to me again on my 14PM. In both cases, I was an early adopter (launch day).
 
My 12 Pro's life is still abysmal.
I'm starting to lose faith that 16.1 is gonna resurrect it...
 
So far I've been lucky with iOS 16 on my 12 Pro max. My wife hasn't complained about anything on her 14 Pro. I guess we've been lucky. Still I'll take bugfixes!
I have been also. My 14 Pro Max is runnngin prefectly on iOs16.02. But I am updating at this very moment anyway. My wife's purple 14 Pro Max STILL has not shipped form AT&T. Scheduled to ship 10/26-11/1. Ugh

Ugh forget the damn 14 and fix the billion iPhones still out there. If it was this unfinished they should have pushed back the release.

I’m still having problems with touches not registering, siri suggestions not showing up, and tons of other little things.
You too? The ‘touches not registering’ is making me NUTS. And what if the dynamic pill is in the way of a button to touch??

wouldn't you have to contact your carrier for an update? I found a carrier update from AT&T somewhere in there on ios15 when that was released. I had to do it manually
No, they are normally packaged and delivered with iOS updates.

They can be delivered out of band. Used to be more common for carriers to update their profiles more frequently, but I’ve rarely seen OOB carrier profile updates in the last 2-3 years.
 
So, before the pandemic, when most employees commuted to work, why did new software/product launches have bugs?
There is always going to be bugs (whether from work or from home) but IOS 16 (and even 16.1) still seem to be having a ton of bugs that are out of the norm for apple. Noone is claiming every bug will be gone, but you can't look at IOS16(and even the launch of the new iphones) and think that it is a normal year with the amount of bugs/issues they are having.
