Updated battery icon alone was worth updating. 😮‍💨

Anyone noticing improved battery life after this update? I am on a 13 Pro.

Step one: download iOS 16.1
Step two: turn that👇 off.

Definitely turned that off. I am not risking running for a bus and having my phone be at 22% instead of 100%

The whole iOS 16.1 seems snappier now. It’s very nice! Love the transition. They are smooth. 👏🏻

This update should have been released when iPhone 14 Pro/Pro Max was released.

Yeah safari on my ipad is much faster now hmmmm. However I was testing last several iterations of the beta including the so called Release Candidate and it still had those problems not now.

Zero explanation how it works from Apple. No thanks. No way we should trust it to charge when we need it.

First of all they will track your current location to know where you are and run their analysis. Then they will just let you charge overnight or at the times where there’s no peak production of electricity.

Wait! Why are you suggesting turning it off?

iOS 16 is bordering on perfection! Quite an impressive piece of engineering feat.

Well said! Good job! 👏🏻

Oh so waste more battery life to decide when to charge, got it.

To those saying "I turn all location switches off" not going to track me, phone always knows it's precise location, as does Apple and your carrier plus partners. You can't turn it off. so... be afraid
I wonder if the "analysis" is used for Ad purposes in addition to charging function, like other settings. I clicked on the learn more on phone and yeah pretty sure they do.

Anyone saying so at this point is basing it on a placebo effect.

It takes about 48 to 72 hours after an update for your phone’s battery life to reflect any changes from said update.

the full updates via iTunes (for windows) are no longer available?

Available 2 hours later...sigh

First time ever that updating iOS on the iPhone has failed for me.

14 PM. First it was stuck with the Apple logo and no progress bar while updating, now it’s doing this for the past half an hour.

EDIT: It successfully recovered after a while and completed the update. Everything seems to be fine.

Funny I click on learn more on battery charging screen and poof a nice detailed explanation pops up.

This would have never happened with Steve Jobs at the helm.

Were you on 16.0.3 before?

Please put a Winkie on your question so we know you are not serious.

 

[Asiatic Black Hebrew]

How do you use the live activity feature?

 

[ProfessionalFan]

Definitely turned that off. I am not risking running for a bus and having my phone be at 22% instead of 100%

Do you also disable "Optimized Battery Charging"?

 

[bchreng]

Hopefully they fixed the proximity sensor issue with Maps in CarPlay. Will find out later today I guess.

 

[JM]

Wait! Why are you suggesting turning it off?

Cause I have no idea if it will cause problems and I err on the side of caution to make sure when I need it charged that it won’t just NOT charge because it’s not “optimal charging times”.

If it helps… I prefer manual transmission cars 😄

 

[JM]

Do you also disable "Optimized Battery Charging"?

Yes. Because I don’t charge overnight, and only charge and try to keep it between 20 and 80 percent as much as possible.
