Apple Releases iOS 16.0.3 With Fixes for Notification Delays, CarPlay Microphone Levels, and More

I’ll wait for 16.1 to upgrade to iOS 16. I’ll be crossing my fingers that there will be no battery drain issues.

According to my wife, her battery is doing better after this update. I can’t tell yet since I am charging. I thought the battery can’t be worse than this, so I upgraded our phones. Fingers crossed 🤞

Hope the group sms bug fix makes it into the next update. Seems many are affected by it.
 
iPhone 13 Pro here. 16.02. Just found people don't hear me well, and this is something new, as I never had this issue. Especially with AirPods 3. Let's see if 16.03 cures this.

"...the bug"?? As if a symptom of this sort could have only one cause.

To be fair, details beyond describing the symptom are really all consumers know how to report. Almost nobody here is in a position to articulate the series of events that led to a kernel panic which caused the black screen of death.

Of course, if we really want to nitpick at it, black screen of death is a outcome that should never happen on an embedded system so really that's its own unique bug. The exception handling should cause the hardware to hot boot, never hard lock up. No matter how it's induced, the OS isn't properly handling it. Ultimately it's probably 2 fixes - one to fix the exception handling (eliminate the black screen of death as an outcome), and one to fix reason the exception occurs.

I don’t know what’s happened with the quality of software coming out of Cupertino lately, but iOS 16 has been a bit of a sh*t show for me. They need to get their act together and sort it out!

Remember ios15? Yet it didn't stop people from buying iphones and giving Apple record breaking revenues quarter after quarter. It's being repeated now with ios16. As long as the sales are plump, Apple will keep doing what it's doing as apparently consumers don't mind with Apple fixing stuff later.

I mean let me know any of those YouTube reviewers pointing out the bugs (especially since they were given review units way in advance). Don't see them doing so. 😅

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.

I am with you 100% on this. I work for one of the largest software companies since 1998, and even though we produce business software, Agile and Scrum has been forced onto us too. Often, the features that we release are poorly tested and lead to customer issues and more bugs.

Because people are sheep and YouTubers make millions in revenue off apple reviews. Time for people to show some tough love for apple. Apple is slipping ….and it’s showing

Just look at this forum and the number of people who immediately upgrade on the yearly basis. 😆 It will take a lot of shooting themselves in the foot for Apple to actually be literally slipping. Their brand power is so strong that people are willing to even pay more despite the inconsistent qualities.

Considering people aren’t receiving phone calls and the GPS doesn’t work using CarPlay. Not sure what else it’ll take aside from exploding phones. This is the first time in over a decade I didn’t update after a day or two. Im fine staying on a “mostly” bug free ios15….
 
Not sure if this was mentioned, but I called a friend that I talk with often on CarPlay, specifically to test after the 16.0.3 update, she said the sound quality is improved, but the volume is only a little better. By that she said she normally put me at half volume on her iPhone (using FaceTime Audio btw) when I was on iPhone 11 Pro Max, and once on iPhone 14 Pro Max of curse it was almost a whisper as we all know, but NOW after 16.0.3 she said it's better than it was, but she's got me up to 75-80% to hear me the same way. I could hear her fine at the same car volume I run. I trust her assessment as she works with video and audio editing on her MacBook Pro in her home studio, so she has half a clue. So it's not a complete fix on the mic side. I'm posting this to Apple next.

There’s nothing wrong with agile whether scrum or kanban or whatever. It’s how it’s implemented and whether it is given proper resources that makes it work or not.

I disagree. Agile development can lead a team down a path that is very hard to break out of if you make fundamentally bad design decisions early on. To give a biological example, there is no way that our eyes could EVER evolve to outperform those of birds, despite any number of scrum meetings, because some idiot wired up our light-detecting cells back to front in early mammalian development.

You'll have to give them some time on that, to figure out how to fix it, then really test the life out of the fix in the wild (on roller coasters and who knows what else) and then roll it out - guessing a month to several months depending on how hard a nut it is to fix.

Shouldn’t take months just to add a toggle to turn it off/on. Of course they might put it at a low priority.
