Animations feel super quick and fluid even with Reduce Motion/Prefer Cross-Fade Transitions enabled. Actually this thing just feels way faster than 16.1 now that I really think about it/look at it 🤓🤩
I had never enabled Cross-Fade Transitions until your post. I like it!

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.
Odd… my battery usage on iOS 16.x betas has been very good. Easily getting a full 24 hours before even thinking about charging. I intentionally do NOT charge overnight anymore so that it’s not topping off and sitting on the charger while I snore. Very little battery loss overnight.

I might even turn AOD back on. One thing that made a big difference for me was cutting OFF background refresh for the Spark (email) app. It checks fast enough when I open it.
 
I can see how people would like this, but I just tried it and it's not my cup of tea. Cool effect though.
It pairs best with Reduce Motion, hence the organization in Settings. As an easily motion-sick weenie I personally love it.
 
Sorry for the slightly off-topic question, but when do corresponding Xcode betas usually drop in relation to iOS?
 
I find it funny that there are bugs I've reported a long time ago that haven't been fixed, but Apple was like "let's randomly change this font in this one sub-section of settings"
LOL...you gotta love it. Otherwise you might toss your phone against a wall or into the ocean.

My first Freeform creation! Admire it and weep!

Don’t you regularly ride a ship?
Haha, yeah, but I'm usually okay there. There is one in the fleet that can really rock and roll, though 🤢 sometimes on that boat I have to lie down, which is my main symptom of motion sickness: lethargy
