As a correction to my previous posts, it appears that the GPS issue is fixed for me.

iOS 16.1 Beta 2 ― Bug Fixes, Changes, and Improvements

GPS bug - totally inaccurate gps and navigation unusable
Folder scrolling bug - opening a folder from the Home Screen wouldn’t allow you to scroll to another page
Paste confirmation - excessive “do you want to allow paste”
WhatsApp photos bug - not being able to send photos directly through the WhatsApp photo picker (IIRC)
Can’t comment on 2 of the last 3 but the GPB bug has been posted about ad nauseam in the beta 1 thread. Essentially, the GPS cannot seem to fix the phone in the proper location. May be due to implementation of a new GPS satellite band that may not be ready for prime time.
The paste bug is the little dialog that pops up almost every time you try to paste from one app to another asking for confirmation. Apple confirmed that this is not expected behavior and said it intends to issue an update “next week” to address that, probably in a 16.0.2. The question posed here is whether this beta already incorporates that fix or not.
Is there a modem firmware update for the iPhone 13 series? Last beta it was rolled back to a older version prior to iOS 16 RC
Has WiFi calling been fixed? iOS 16 broke it for me in that calls stop coming in after it's been on WiFi calling for 10-15 minutes or so.
This is honestly the only big bug I've seen on iOS 16 on my iPhone 11PM.

Paste annoying message fixed for me, WhatsApp photos too.
Also agreed, the new battery % looks nice

My gps is back working again. Was borked in previous beta. 14 pro
OK, so sounds like the hypothetical 16.0.2 fixes are in this beta. That’s good.
Submitted the backup / passcode issue.
I went 2 weeks without a backup to MacBook Pro, before realizing that it was asking for a passcode. The prompt for passcode often happens minutes after the device is plugged in or put on a charging pad, like a nightly charge where you expect the backup to occur.
It used to prompt once on a new version to "Trust this computer", now it prompts for each and every backup.

13 ProMax
Took forever to update - almost 30 minutes OTA.
Cutoff text in search bar in App Library and Teams is fixed
So far touch issues (first touch not registering) is fixed
Weather is still whacked - says partly sunny yet when I look out the window it is cloudy and raining
Haptic on keyboard is better but still very light
Will do a bunch more checking .....

Looks like the UI issue where some apps would scroll up behind the Dynamic Island is fixed too. Similarly, the widgets screen and spotlight search are properly positioned below it as well now.
How does it look when you charge? Still white font on neon green designed by NotSmartass ?
There must be some hefty fixes across the board here, even the HomePods betas are 467mb.
