I am absolutely shocked the RC is final. I have had more problems on the RC than the betas. 13 Pro just starts running like hell and I need to reboot my phone. Bluetooth just starts dropping my Bose headphones then a reboot of the phone it works fine for a couple days.
Oof.
I'll be back on the beta bandwagon as soon as I switch to the 14 Pro end of the week.

that I'm not sure of. If you have iCloud photo library off, maybe? Only way I can think of is trying to restore your iphone backup to another device 🤷♂️
The new home app is a revolution.
Now when you tap on a tile of a dimmable light instead of turning it on or off it opens the slider and you have to slide it from 0 to 100 to turn it on and from 100 to 0 to turn it off.
So to turn off 10 lights it takes about 5 minutes.
They are on drugs in the software team I’m telling you.
There was a pop up saying that there is a “new feature” to tap to control your devices, pop up is now gone, can’t find any option either.
I also don’t understand why it’s a new feature since it was like that from the beginning of time.
It happens on two iPhones here, not only on mine.

I always feel like, "Now I wish I had old and new side by side, to compare."
Look at these three words written larger than the rest, with a special pride never written before or since; tall words proudly saying: We The People.
That which you call Ee'd Plebnista, was not written for the chiefs of kings, or the warriors, or the rich, or the powerful -- but for all the people!...
Oh wait, that's Kirk's speech from Star Trek...
Try logging out of the App Store, your account and logging back in.
Click on the actual bulb on the left. That’s the switch. Took me a couple of minutes to work out while wondering what they’d done!
Ok...good. (Sorry I fell behind in this thread)
Damn, this worked for me. Didn't even have to find a new network -- 6 minutes to go! Thanks for the suggestion!
Unbelievable.
Thanks for the hint!!!
This just confirms they are high on something. Who comes up with this stupidity??
No, it used to be that when you tap the tile it turned the device off or on. Long press was taking you into the dimmer and other settings. (Logical)
Now you have to use the Apple Pencil to precisely tap on the small icon.
In iOS 17 they will design icons with the switch and you’ll have to use a magnifier lens to find the switch and tap exactly that spot.
Ah the innovation.
Just cuz there's a bit of a learning curve for people doesn't mean it's stupid. This is actually a better implementation than the one prior. Toggle accessories with just a tap and then the same tap to enter accessory settings instead of a long tap.
Also it's much more responsive.
Sorry I have to disagree.
I’m a tech person and I tried for 10 minutes to look for settings to try to understand what they did. I thought it was a bug, since we get more bugs than features I wasn’t gonna be surprised anyway.
Imagine a person that is not a tech nerd.
This isn’t learning curve, this is changing what works for the worse, in my opinion.
I’m a tech person too, I don’t always get things on the first go myself, it happens.

Yeah, but I didn't save photos or safari to iCloud
I have iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch
Ok, maybe you can check to see if the stuff you lost from your phone is in your other devices...
Otherwise, you might be out of luck.
Regarding backup, you want at least 2: Physical and offsite (cloud, etc).
I pay Apple for extra storage, but I backup everything to their cloud so I really don't worry much about this.
Thus my iPhone, iPad, and iMac are all in sync at all times. One fails, recover from the other.
I'm a software developer myself and it took me just an extra second to figure it out. As soon as I noticed that tapping on the white space acts like a long press my next thought was to tap on the icon itself. And it worked!
I can definitely imagine that some people will never realise and will continue fading up and down when they just want a switch.
But I also prefer this new way now I know how it works. I was having to use long press way too often to get to dimmer or to individual bulbs in a group.
