Just the typical Apple carrot and stick approach to make sure their anticompetitive ecosystem continues to grind.
Thanks for this
In what scenarios would the ADP recovery key be asked? What is the difference with retrieving an Apple ID account? As long as I have access to any device under my Apple ID account, I would be able to access AppleID which includes iCloud right?
In what situations would Apple ask for a recovery key or recovery contact for ADP? I mean if I lose access to Apple ID on one device, I would still use any remaining activated devices to retrieve access. If I lose all my devices, I can access it through the recovery contact set up under my Apple ID. Assuming the above, aren't Apple ID and APM doublons for this purpose? Why did not Apple just integrate ADP within Apple ID itself since the verifications / entry methods seem redundant to me between Apple ID and iCloud ADP?
I updated mine last week on the RC (Same as today's release), and my HomePod mini updated and has the sensors if that helps
From reading posts in this thread so far, iOS 16 has a looong way to go before I update. The outlook was summer, but I am seeing new issues brought on by 16.3, so now possibly skipping this version all together? The battery draining is the biggest concern for me for my 13 mini.
Tap to wake and swiping up to unlock still freezes on my 14PM. I’ll be reverting back. This was released was way too early.
Just my $0.02.

I didn't try, but i think the recovery key will also be requested when you try to add a new device to your Apple ID, without having an accessible trusted device to allow the procedure.Thanks for this

Well, not everyone has or want a recovery contact or has multiple Apple devices. E.g. me, I didn't setup any recovery or legacy contacts, instead i used the recovery key option.
I've just created a riddle to gain access to the master password of a non-cloud password safe, for the case i drop dead.
Waking up my 14 PM (either through tap to wake or via the side button) STILL sometimes fails on the first try (screen stays black). I can't believe that this is still not fixed
I can’t either. I reported it on every version of the iOS 16 beta.Waking up my 14 PM (either through tap to wake or via the side button) STILL sometimes fails on the first try (screen stays black). I can't believe that this is still not fixed
Hurray! I’m finally in the majority on something! 🤭
Would be nice if they fixed the HDCP errors with their hdmi adaptor.
I have automatic updates turned on.
"Download iOS Updates," "Install iOS Updates," and "Security Responses & System Files" are all toggled on.
I charge my phone — and keep it connected to wifi — all night every night, so it's not like there isn't ample opportunity for my OS to update automatically.
And yet, my iPhone 14 Pro is still on iOS 16.1.1.
It didn't automatically update to iOS 16.1.2 (released 54 days ago) or 16.2 (released 41 days ago) by the time 16.3 was released today.
When I go to Software Update, in the Settings app, it always shows the latest version, and gives me the option to "Download and Install" — but I'd rather let automatic updates update my OS automatically (because I'm not comfortable being an early adopter, and I'd rather not have to think about it), as long as automatic updates are working as designed.
I understand that Apple rolls out automatic updates, often a number of weeks after they're released, but it seems weird to me that my iPhone hasn't updated its OS in more than 54 days.
Is this normal, or does my iPhone seem to be suffering from a bug?
What's been the experience of other people who have automatic updates turned on, since the release of 16.1.2?

Same here! So pleased with the battery life on my SE (2022) running 15.7. I’m scared of messing that up!
Heck at this rate maybe I’ll wait until a 17.x release, assuming it ends up being a Snow Leopard type release.
That is normal behavior. Apple does a slow roll-out to people with updates turned on. That way, if there is a problem with an update, it doesn't affect as many people.
I think it might be a test rather than a bug. For a while, my safari tabs also have the same behavior. I also noticed there’re queries to experiments-xxx-xxx.apple.com in my device DNS log.
I am not sure about the SOS Emergency tweak, most of the time you probably do NOT have the time or chance to press these two buttons during an emergency, like say a crash?

I'm running my X on iOS16 and it's been great. Performance wise it feels no different than iOS15. Obviously everyone's experience may differ
