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

[vddobrev]

This update provides bug fixes and important security updates for your iPhone including the following:

• Incoming call and app notifications may be delayed or not delivered on iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max
• Low microphone volume can occur during CarPlay phone calls on iPhone 14 models
• Camera may be slow to launch or switch between modes on iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max
• Mail crashes on launch after receiving a malformed email

---------
So, why all of the above has not been tested before launch??? I don't think there is an excuse.

16.0.3 fixed the battery drain and lag on my 14 Pro, finally. 16.0.2 was a hot pile of crap. Everything lags, and nothing stays in memory, webpages and apps refresh in no time.

Sooo gps doesn’t work in the car when you need it….phone calls don’t work when you get them…. Apple is failing on the basics here…

GPS work(ed)s fine. Phone calls work(ed)s fine. Iphone 14 pro max work(ed)s.

Great to have this update even though all the fixes seem to be aimed at the 14 it sure is a good idea to download this on an 'old' iPhone like the 13 Pro Max as well.

Old???

My current model iPad still says iOS 15.7 is the lastest?

Yup. IPadOS 16 isn’t out yet. 15.7 is the latest.

Downloading 16.0.3 and Watch OS 9.2 right now. Have a 14 pro max and noticed my battery does drain a bit fast (even on my home WiFi). Battery Health still says 100% though and I haven't had many issues with the phone since I got it on launch day.

Only issues I had on my 14 pro max was the slight battery drain, and some weird glitch with Siri and my gen 3 Airpods. If a song is paused and I ask Siri to resume the song, Siri just says " one moment" and won't ever resume the song. The song will pay for like a millisecond and pause on its own again. Siri will pause and resume songs playing through the phone speakers fine, however.

Anyone seeing Weather not load data?
I’ve had to disable/enable all radios to get it to pull down data. Had not seen this, until my 14 Pro and/or iOS 16.

I had this problem twice over the weekend, so I "don't think" it is related to 16.0.3

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

Thank you. Are we calling the iOS 13 launch good now?

GPS works fine in car and away from it. Phone calls work fine in car and away from it.

I haven't noticed on 16.0.3 yet but I was having an issue with this on my 14 Pro Max and on my work phone, which is a 12.

My parents and myself with our Phone 14 Pros have faced no issue since launch. Guess we're just lucky, lol.

 

[citysnaps]

Same here on my 14 PM.

Are these issues only with the 14’s? Are people seeing these issues on the 13 Pros?

 

[jephdub]

The update fixed my camera lag issue I was having.

Not seeing the issues on our 13 or 14 pros.

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.

That isn't just exclusive to Apple fans, that's true for any brand and fandom.

I don’t know how much I like the fact that this is your first ever comment.

If this update doesn’t fix my wifi issues accessing my carrier’s free wifi hotspots, I will go back to Android. This has been a nightmare.

Had the same issues with my 11 Pro. Let’s hope they’re fixed for me, too

I’m hoping the iOS 16.1 Release Candidate update gets released tomorrow.

Do you run the beta developer profiles?

I got an iPad recently (open box) that had iPad OS 16.1 beta 1. Just installed my dev profile and just installed beta 4. Amazing how easy this is. lol.
