Rock n Roll! Thank you again @Banglazed. U Da Mon!

 

[bestal]

Banglazed thanks🙂))

 

[sorgo †]

Yayyy!!! A nice warm treat to go with my dirty chai 😉

I removed the beta profile from my device to install the final 16.1 and the IOS dev center doesn't have a downloadable profile for 16.2 yet!

 

[Broken Hope]

Why would the profile be different? Just use the existing iOS 16 one.

Umm, it's the same profile. I reinstalled the existing one after updating to RC yesterday and 16.2 showed right away this afternoon. MacOS, on the other hand, hasn't shown up yet OTA. Gonna try a restart...

 

[TL24]

Damn…. Just installed the official 16.1 release yesterday too lol

 

[GoldenChild]

Can I just download the current profile on BetaProfiles for this one? I removed mine for the official 16.1 release.

Yes

 

[sorgo †]

Nvm, macOS 13.1 just popped up a minute ago. No restart required 🙂 Ok, back on topic. 16.2 woo woo!!

 

[GoldenChild]

Hopefully they bring back dark mode wallpapers.

Someone said on Twitter that the new Freeform app is in this beta.

What does that mean exactly, 120hz is fine on my device

Yuh, check the front page bubu

Can you can still press and hold widgets on Lock Screen? 🙂 I don’t believe it was missed in iOS 16.1

At least pressing this does not cause Lock Screen to enter Customize menu which can be done by pressing just playing song album art…

Not everywhere in every app though, I’ve noticed devs posting that parts of SwiftUI weren’t animating at 120Hz

Here for example.

Does anyone know if this beta fixes the annoying swipe up stutter when leaving some apps on iOS 16.1 on iPhone 14 Pro? It's driving me crazy.

I just want my beta profile back.

And back into the fire 😆😂

Man 16.1 you were soooo sweet for 1 day 😆😂

Edit: hold my horses, ip14P arriving tomorrow, man that was close.

Battery has been pretty bad. I’m out now and I’m following the battery as I’m near 50% and I’ve been waiting for the profiles. The battery has dropped with 20% for about an hour and a half with only music and light Safari usage. I have to charge my 14PM twice a day and that’s with light usage cuz I work and I don’t use it much during the day. So things have been really bad here.

Same on my 14PM. Only getting 8 hours of SOT on 16.1. Are you also going to 16.2 beta?

 

[sorgo †]

Looks like an option to update to the Matter architecture has been added in the Home app



Won’t let me update until the ‘Pods are on 16.2.
