I’ve been living vicariously through all of you ! Can’t wait for next Monday to get iOS 16.1 on my iPad…

Can someone let me know how to trigger the dynamic island outline?

I can't see that outline anymore and many of you say it's still there on your phones. Not sure what's going on.
 
As usual, flying in too …. D8C8B5FE-FA7D-4FAB-9FEC-54B053F32076.jpeg
 
No it's not. :(

This is what just proves, along with some of Apples other ridiculous moves, that they are controlled by totally out of touch boomers. Even the damn Apple TV remote has USBC now and a nearly 2,000 dollar “pro” phone does not.

The dynamic outline completely ruins the entire purpose and idea of the dynamic outline they showed us all back in September. It’s almost always there, big and garish, makes me sick. I was cooking last night while watching tv and had a pill shaped ring for the Apple TV, and a gross orange ring for the timer. Looks like something you’d see on a jitterbug made for seniors, it’s beyond ridiculous. For a company known for its “simplistic designs”, this has got to be the most cluttered, ugly, and outright bad design moves they’ve ever made. This alone is such an eyesore I’m thinking of returning this thing and getting a Pixel 7pro. It’s really bad when Android is more Apple-like than Apple.
 
What exactly is your issue? I’ve been having weird volume control issues where they stop working altogether while playing games, and at various times for no reason. This has been the buggiest iOS version for me by far.
The volume +/- doesn’t work when phone is held close to ear on call(when proximity sensor is active).Volume can be increased or decreased when the phone is taken away from the ear and screen is lit

It’s there until the phone is unlocked. Still doesn’t make sense to have it at all but 🤷‍♂️.

Edit: Seems to be only with dark wallpapers. Watching it closely, the animation of the ring expanding drops frames every time so there’s a blank edge off to the right. This is just silly.

I actually like it. Just because the folk who dislike are the most vocal doesn’t mean it’s a poor design.
I’d honestly vote to keep the outline. I especially like it when it turns green when I plug the phone in to charge.
Same here, perfectly fine for me as it is now

13 ProMax - OTA

Well this bites….
Pushing my way through a bad case of COVID … yeah, it sucks.
Anyway, got back from the UC to get a follow up test (work req - their paperwork), took a photo of the test results on my 13 ProMax to send in.
Noticed the paper color was very off color and the typing was blurring toward orange yellow (see attached - its my quasi redacted COVID form). It is standard white printer paper with black fonts.

Late morning lighting on my coffee table.

I really hope the rest of RC is better.
Will update my IPad Pro later today.
It’s rest time.
