I have 2 different iPhones, both in the beta program testing 16 & 16.1 and since it's released, they both still have different versions of IOS 16.1. Is that normal? And I reported a significant bug in IOS 16 that Apple fixed on one iPhone, but not the other, but the bug is fixed on both. Hmm.
Deleting a conversation in Messages now gives you the option to report it as junk all in one shot, instead of getting a second prompt asking if it should be reported as junk.
Great that battery percentage on status bar is available on iPhone 11.
My Safari has been broken since I bought the phone. I'm glad this finally fixed it. Every time I clicked to sync Safari bookmarks it would freeze ... for days ... unless I turned iCloud syncing off. Works perfectly now. And now my iPhone 14 PM finally feels like a stable phone.
Still holding out hope that they'll someday implement per-app volume settings. I'd love to be able to set important applications and their notifications louder than games and frivolous stuff. It's annoying to have a game come blasting out of my phone at full volume or have important app notifications go unnoticed because I cranked the volume way down.
You can still sell or trade in your 13 pro and get a 14 pro or pro max like the cool kids in the neighborhood but I can already predict your response 🙄
After installing ipad os 16.1 on my 2021 version of ipad pro 12.9 inch, I noticed that the color changes when I scroll through a website or any other app. The text is first black and then turns brown.
"Clean Energy Charging"? What a joke.
* invents a full iphone case made out of car air filter *
(turns Clean Energy Charging off before enclosing iPhone inside the case)

That depends on your threat model. So if you're not targeted by a nation state, it's probably not a high priority.A lot of nice Feature updates, but there's also important security fixes too, including a zero-day fix. But no one seems to care about those...
Apple fixes new zero-day used in attacks against iPhones, iPads

A a nice new feature you forgot to include is the Duplicates utility in the Photos app, found near Recently Deleted and Hidden.

i always think that green energy is a gimmick thingy. the clean energy options looks to me a fashionable feature only.
the duplicate feature had been there in ios 16.0. i had high hope on that. the feature does work. however, it was hoping it could detect those similar shots that i like to review and eliminate.
the threshold that apple used for scanning photos is too stringent that the feature could *only* identify almost identical photos hence make this feature less useful.
And still no "nice" way of having a stock wallpaper as the springboard background, but a custom photo as the lock screen!
My "fix" was to download the wallpapers and add them to my photo library.
Thermals seem to have improved on my iPhone 14PM no longer gets warm as much as it used to. Especially when off Wi-Fi.
