Apple Releases iOS 16.6.1, iPadOS 16.6.1, and watchOS 9.6.2 With Bug Fixes

I wonder if this has some sort of performance and efficiency enhancements, more bugs killed, and a final polish to iOS 16 for those who can’t or won’t update to iOS 17.0 for nowl.

I guess I’ll wait for iOS 16.7

Might not be a bad idea.

I hope this fixes a MagSafe bug that I've encountered on the 12 Pro. Every once in a while, MagSafe charging would stop and until I restart the phone, charging via MagSafe is uncertain. The typical case I've seen is when you put the phone on the MagSafe charger, it would start charging but at some point it would stop (not related to optimized charging or charge only using green energy period). From that point on, further use of the phone would continue to discharge the battery. Only a restart of the phone has solved the problem.

If your magsafe charger is a Belkin device, you may want to search for those articles. There was a problem, but I don't know if/when it might have been resolved.

14 Pro Max updated with 40% battery left. It has always been a requirement of 50% or more. Maybe security updates don’t need that now….

Sometimes I get that alert, but I've noticed that at least some of my devices will update as long as they're charging. Maybe that rule is different now for newer Apple devices?

‌‌iOS 16‌‌‌.6.1 and iPadOS 16.6.1 can be downloaded on eligible iPhones and iPads over-the-air by going to Settings > General > Software Update. It can take a few minutes for the updates to propagate to all users because of demand.

watchOS 9.6.2 can be downloaded for free through the Apple Watch app on the iPhone by opening it up and going to General > Software Update. To install the new software, the Apple Watch needs to have at least 50 percent battery, it needs to be placed on a charger, and it needs to be in range of the ‌‌‌‌‌‌‌iPhone‌‌‌‌‌‌‌.

Anyone else update and lose their Reminders/ Completed Reminders in the Reminders app? Lose all on iPad/iPhone and MacBook Pro? And if so have any solution as to how to get 'Completed Reminders ' back???/
 
These types of exploits are scary… not opening anything, no selecting nor tapping elements, and they can get inside your phone.

Inevitably when the chippers and anti-chippers battles comes to an end (it ends in an cybernetically enhanced world), this is going to be quite some scary situation. Ghost in the Shell basically.

iOS 17 is pretty much a fine-tuned iOS 16, with very few actual changes. An average user might not even notice a difference between the two.

The latest iOS 17 beta is quite stable and works very well.

I thought a lot of new features and some device support were being added to iOS 17. Is this not the case?
