If you try to restore from a backup that is on a beta build, it will prompt you to join the beta program on your new iPhone and proceed to download the latest build, otherwise it won’t restore from a backup. In my case it was a full OS download of iOS 16.1 (though it said 16.0).
National holiday here this Monday for Queeny. 🖤🥹
I had 2 bugs with 16.1 on my 14 PM. First at the screen to shutdown it doesn't crop well on the left side, mean fade out to black
And second, when wake up it shows first very fast black screen with clock and then the lockscreen.

Quality. That seems easy then. So you just plugged it in, clicked restore and away you went on 16.1 back up, after it had updated to that beta…. Correct?
Mine got cut off by 16.0.1 update. So now I’ve got to do it manually. Not super thrilled about that.
My 13 PM was on 16.1, the 14 PM was on I assume just 16 Official. I would have assumed that prompting for continuation of Beta participation would have downloaded the proper beta, but I guess not.
Hey, if I can save someone else headaches down the road, I’m doing something right.
I updated my older post. I had to update to 16.1 on the 14 PM in order to get device to device to actually start. For me at least, it didn’t seem like it downloaded 16.1. Given the small delta size and that the splash screen said 16.0, I’m assuming that download was the 16.0.1 fix that MR posted about.
Heads up! Not sure if this affects 16.1 but if it does and you’re getting a new phone tomorrow…
Apple Confirms iOS 16 Bug Impacting New Device Activation as iPhone 14 Orders Begin to Arrive
Apple has confirmed that customers activating new iPhones may encounter an issue where device activation during initial setup doesn't go through...www.macrumors.com
Sadly not unexpected.
Just hope for the users it is a quick fix.
Yup. As easy as that. Was all straightforward, and once it downloaded iOS 16.1 beta it restored my backup.
Thank god they changed this. The way on 16.0 sucks with its too many buttons to just delete a message. This way is much better, but I still want to just delete the message with swiping left and no prompt at all, like in Mail.
Mine got paired while the 16.0.1 update was still being prepared. Whole process including update and watch pairing took about 30 minutes.
Can’t wait to get my hands on one. I’m happy with the speed of the 12 so to feel a some silicon two versions up 💨 😍
anyone else seeing this on 16.1? If you open an app from the app drawer, then close it, the icons are misaligned so that the search box at the top stretches up too high? (Swiping over to the Home Screen and back fixes it until you open another app.) Happens EVERY time for me.
I think it depends on how you choose your new phone either with the carrier or unattached as they say. If it’s with your carrier, when you turn it on, it’s already linked and ready to go. There was a dialog at startup but I can’t remember what it said. But if it’s unattached you are asked different questions.
All in all super easy and didn’t have an issue.
From springboard open a folder with multiple pages within it - I can’t swipe to page 2!
no problems activating for my 14PM... and going from 16.1 on my 13PM the setup properly prompted me to upgrade the 14PMHeads up! Not sure if this affects 16.1 but if it does and you’re getting a new phone tomorrow…

I got the deep Purple 14 Pro Max and I love it... At first I thought I'd be bothered that the back glass is "frosted" but having it in hand I love it..
