What kind of flickering? The only annoying thing I found is the fact that notifications wake up the screen and often leads to unintended unlock and in worst case unintentional deletion of apps or even email. Ever so often I get my phone out of my pocket to find it with wiggling icons on the home screen or the mail app in state of multi select about to delete a bunch of messages.
That shouldn't be happening. The phone detects if it's in your pocket or face down on a table and will not light up the screen for notifications, etc. I'm not sure how you would fix this if it's not working though, maybe there's a toggle I'm not aware of. You may need to reset to factory settings if there's no specific switch, I don't know.
 
These people saying this stuff don't even have a clue. They're just jealous that they chose a profession that can't work from home, or perhaps are actually technology workers but just too lazy or underskilled to leave their in-office employer for one who allows hybrid or remote work.

The poor quality code that has been coming out of shops like Apple, Facebook, Microsoft, and Google in recent years -- even more than two years ago -- is a bigger reflection of Agile and Scrum mentalities being forced on everyone, rather than where somebody is working from.

Traditional software development cycles worked for 30 years, but because "fast" is never fast enough for greedy business leaders, these untested and flawed project management practices are being foisted upon everyone. It's nothing more than an excuse to cut QA out of the picture, lay off testers, and pump code out as fast as the keys lift off of developers' keyboards no matter how buggy it might be at first glance.
There’s a great video from “the healthy software developer” on YT about the difference between how Scrum is supposed to be done and how it is practiced.
 
Pretty buggy iOS 16 launch with so many hotfixes. Was expecting iOS 16.1 this week.
Not even close to the worst in history - check the very detailed iOS history thread. VERY informative.
Was really hoping for a fix for the display flickering. Seems like the non-ProMotion displays are affected. It's very apparent on my 12 mini and 13 mini when installing app updates. Never see it on the 13 Pro.
Wait WHAT!!!!!??

Dude thank you for this, keep us updated if this iOS update resolves this.

I'm on the fence when my 13 mini arrives to upgrade to 15.7.1 as it's the latest for MDM sync at work. 16.1 for personal device, until then 15.7.1.
 
No bugs for me on my iphone 14 pro max, but always good to install an even more stable iOS 16 verison
 
Oh no, the super annoying permission notifications every single time I want to paste something from the clipboard are back for me :/
Just tried to copy and paste and no notification for me apart from the "pasted from" privacy notice.
 
page turning animation working fine here and since I got the phone iPhone 14 pro. You have to turn it from the corner of the page and it works fine.

I have some iPhone 14 Pro friends who kept thinking my iPhone 12 was the problem, and I'm like I think it's a bug in the new iPhones if you keep missing my calls if you don't pick up after 2 rings.

Also I take every update, security things. Don't come whining because you said oh I'm going to wait for 16.1.

iOS 15.7 is still good and approved/supported by Apple.
Will wait awhile longer before upgrading from iOS 15.7 to 16.x after many people continue to beta test 16 as many people on various online forums, including MR, are still reporting bugs.
Apple needs to focus more on quality control issues with iOS.
 
Are they going to fix the bug where the screen goes black and unresponsive, requiring a hard reset? Please?
"...the bug"?? As if a symptom of this sort could have only one cause.

Every software update, every OS version, it's the same thing. One person reports a problem they're having and everyone with the same, similar, or even dis-similar symptoms assumes they're affected by the exact same bug. Does anyone out there appreciate just how complex these little, hand-held systems we use actually are? There are so many potential causes for similar-seeming issues that it's mind-boggling.

Yeah, there's safety in numbers, and the more instances of a particular fault there are the sooner the bug squashers will be assigned to fix it. However... Let's consider the simple incandescent light bulb. Did that light just go dark because the filament failed, because it's somewhat loose in its socket, a local circuit breaker tripped, the light switch failed, the electric company shut off power for non-payment, an SUV crashed into a utility pole... Now, take all the possible causes of that failure and multiply it by several dozen orders of magnitude and you begin to approach the reasons the "light" in your iPhone might go out.

In the case of this particular set of symptoms, which have afflicted every computing device since the dawn of compute time... no, it's never going to get "fixed" because this is one of the things that can happen whenever a computing device crashes - the thing stops functioning (no video) and needs to be rebooted. The potential causes are endless, so even when there's one particular software-based cause for a fairly large number of crashes, squashing that bug will not banish "black and unresponsive, requiring a hard reset" to the annals of ancient history.
 
Any chance this will fix the battery issue with iPhone 14 Max Pro?
What problem? My 14 Pro Max has longer battery life than any previous iPhone. Perhaps your battery is defective and needs to be replaced. It's possible. Just think about it. There are more complaints about problems with the 14 than any previous phone. While some are software, I suspect there are a lot of random hardware issues requiring many to replace their phones.
