From lockscreen, swipe to open the camera. Enjoy the camera app for ever!

(Until you re-lock the screen, anyway.)

Oh wow, not good, I’ve always hated that slide over camera bs, there’s already a camera button on the Lock Screen. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve pulled my phone out of my pocket and it’s ready to take a pic because while doing so you inadvertently open up the camera app. Definitely one of the worst things about iOS, and we can’t even turn it off! I’m always accidentally triggering Apple Pay in my pocket as well, I’m starting to feel like iOS is way more buggy than Android along with being eons behind in actual smartphoniness.

Apple seems to have removed the profile images overlay on cover artwork in “Friends Are Listening To,” which was great for getting an at-a-glance idea of how popular an album is among friends. Annoying:

Also, the “no connection” bug in Music telling you there isn’t internet even with a solid data connection from later versions of iOS 16.1 still persists:

Lastly, it appears physical handoff of music to a HomePod (holding near the top of the speaker) still isn’t working in this build. I remember unsuccessfully trying to use it on the 16.1 RC.

Anyone got the crazy bug where you invoke the app switcher and it goes crazy rapid switching between open apps? Have had it happen a couple times today and just had to wait for it to stop on its own as the phone was unresponsive.

Bad Apple!

My home bar disappeared today…yay! But then I couldn’t do anything, couldn’t swipe home or open the app switcher…boo! (iPhone 13PM, locking the phone fixed it) Pretty much the same thing as the Lock Screen camera bug mentioned a few posts back. Fingers crossed that’s the only issue I run into. 😂

I wish my home bar would go away and never come back! Why is this abomination still on our phones? Who designs this crap anyways?

Once I got everything transferred over I’ll take my time and have a play with the phone. Then I’ll jump in I reckon.

I want to see what all this DI noise is about and stutters first. That’s after I’ll reinstall iOS 16.1 with the IPSW file and reset network settings. To give the phone the best chance to clear glitch’s/bugs. Then I’ll have a test and see what’s what an report in. IP 14pro.

Good call! No need to mess up your phone and be SOL in Gainesville. I am holding off unless there are some major improvements.

Took 40mins using phone transfer then just signing back into a few banking apps.

Very silky smooth process, even repairing with my watch. It did a 1gig up to 16.1 update as part of the transfer.

Phone is fast. No stutters in and out of apps. And the DI, only get the border when phone is locked or an app is in use, rest of the time it’s black up there.. Got a black wallpaper and dark mode on all the time, no focus modes.

Absolutely love it. The DI is awesome. Feels so custom to your needs. Phone receiver now a thing of the past with it up near the bezel. Screen really is liquid. That 120 promotion is like gliding on ice.

Early days, but I don’t feel I need to reinstall the iOS. Animations are beautiful. Rapid and smooth.

I’m not going to be able to put this down today. Will charge to 100% and unplug, and see what we get when we hit 25%. Just for 💩 & giggles.
