iPhone 13 Pro and now the 12 Pro (and even iPad Pro 11” M1).

battery is ok for the phones: lasts most of what I used to get, watch battery has been terrible in the last beta

i'm on 13 mini, so that's why i asked about battery, since it's a small one

IMO, you should be fine

i might wait until next week to install the final version, if this isn't

My only issue on iOS 16 is wireless carplay disconnects between my iPhone 13 Pro and 2021 Mazda MX-5. I filed feedback on the first beta and updated the feedback with new logs every beta since. Fingers crossed this gets fixed before GA

My iPhone 13 Mini experiences heat issues without notification indicating thermal throttling, Apple could do with energetic sufficiency, a hope to see in this beta.

Really? I've never really had any issues at all.

It wasn't terrible, but I had crashes, phone warming, UI glitches, etc. Standard beta stuff. I have less tolerance for that stuff these days, since our phones are used for so much.

Hopefully iPadOS is coming soon. Stage manager is a disaster.

If iOS 16 drops next month, this should be more of a Release Candidate.

No release candidate .

 

[Crash Nebula]

This should be the last, right?

Hope for no more bugs 🐛 View attachment 2048611

Probably last before RC next week

These comments are almost all speculation and there's a speculation thread and this isn't a speculation thread and I'm very upset.

Hope i can send messages to android on this one

I hope this finally fixes some weird iCloud-related issues I've been having up until now. My library of Passwords (iCloud Keychain) goes blank, as well as my iCloud info at the top of the Settings screen (says to Sign In as if the device was never registered). Only way to fix it is to reboot.

SMS or other messaging apps don‘t work?

Did you report via Feedback Assistant?

Still waiting for that redundant copy and paste prompt to get removed 🙃

Did they fix Stage Manager? Any noticeable changes?

I have a 12 mini, and the battery has never really been good. Haven't noticed a real difference on the beta, it was bad before and is bad now haha. I always mid day charge.

i might be imagining it but the last 2-3 betas have improved by battery life quite a bit over iOS 15. i hope this continues in todays new beta and of course final release!

can't think of any bugs i've encountered recently. iOS 16 has been very stable. had a few minor issues at first but solid now!

well done apple. wish the same could be said of iPadOS.

 

[BlueCreek]

I don't have a Dev account but I heard some bad things with the earlier public beta's of 16 so I've been hesitant to install it.

No issues for me on my iPhone 13 Pro.
I think the most exciting feature is the battery percentage, not much else is that interesting.

New iPadOS isn't out (yet).

 

[Michael Clarke]

Last beta was flawless for me. Not sure how much more they can improve it on my end.

Keep going, I say. The more betas the better.

SMS or other messaging apps don‘t work?

We really need Apple to implement RC4, or offer iMessage to other platforms. SMS is a dated, insecure, 'send and forget' technology that really should be deprecated. (SMS has been deprecated for most Android users in the US, unless they have to text iPhone users.)

Didnt expect this lol

Still exciting tho xD

Same issue with my 2021 Audi Q5. When it reconnects, it stops my radio and goes right to the main CarPlay screen. Super annoying as it will happen every few minutes. My only issue with the beta.
