iOS 16.2 ― Bug Fixes, Changes, and Improvements

[pw5a29]

The game stutter on ProMotion devices is still not fixed 🙁 I still see stutter in the most basic games that have ProMotion enabled whenever I touch the screen, but none when I don't touch it...

C'mon Apple, are you gonna make some of your best paying customers suffer for so long!?

well...they once fixed green tint issues after half a year only on iOS 14.5

How do you do this? I can’t find it anywhere.

Its in the developer account under downloads

Telling Siri to turn on sleep focus still doesn’t put the watch in complete sleep focus mode. Sucks it worked fine 16.0 but has been broken ever since .. 😖

Hand washing reminder still doesn’t work. 🤣😂

The “always on” location services is still not fixed

How do I reproduce?

Hey, has anyone seen this?

Yep just got the same f*#%ing message on an iPhone 14 PM that I set up as new back in September. Only difference is mine shows 1/15/23. Annoying because it’s been almost 3 months now for this “new” device.

The volume controls during calls bug still persists on 13PM,whats going on with apple its been so long without any fix

Users with the over-aggressive Location bug should try Reset Network Settings. It’s worked for me in the past.

Thanks for the sugestion, but it didn’t fix the problem

I downloaded the entire RC using my 5G connection. iOS did not nag me the “connect to Wifi bla bla”. Downloaded it in barely 2 mins and installed it in another 15 mins. Thankfully my Carrier is giving a free 5G Trial for 1 year with no extra charges or Data caps to test their network. Only catch: I recharge my Prepaid sim with ₹1559 ($20) which is a 4G yearly plan.
It was thoroughly satisfying. 😋

has this rc fixed the issues people spoke about in beta 4

Yes 🧐

 

[Pearsey]

Why you laugh? You do know how those letters in betas work, yes?

No, I laugh because there is way to much emphasis on them and then from you it turns it out it goes even deeper than that.

I’m not one for caring that much about importance of an RC after a ‘?’ Build, as my first message flagged that point, it was for a later period in time when the letters discussion comes up again 👍🏼

P.s if I didn’t know how something worked, I’d ask. Like I did yesterday about the build numbers. learning is a lovely free gift.

No way? Serious?

 

[Pearsey]

Phone seems to be running cooler on this one. Might actually lead to better battery life. Knock on 🪵 !

Had no heat issues since installing betas on IP14. Quit all apps and restart my phone before using the IPSW.

Strange that it’s fixed for iPhone 14’s but not 13 🤷🏽

 

[BrightCanon]

Coming from 16.1.2

Battery life seems much more stable. Everything feels snappy and smooth. Also my 13 Pro Max was constantly running hot on 16.1.2. and the RC seems to have remedied this. So far a great improvement for me.

I’m having 4-5% of battery drain overnight. Is that normal? Is that better on 16.2 (even on previous betas)? Thank you

Still not fixed on my 12P.

 

[COBRASVT]

Hey, has anyone seen this?

Me and it's stupid! 😀

 

[Hitmanbbq59]

I think battery life is definitely better in RC.

 

[SumYoungGai]

Pretty significant battery drain overnight. Will reinstall with IPSW. However, I did turn on advanced data protection last night so maybe that has something to do with this?

This all depends upon what you have enabled and configured on your device. Normal for you won't be normal for someone else.

I suggest looking at your battery stats to see what is draining your battery overnight. Background syncing is typically a culprit for battery drain during periods when you believe the device to be idle.

Had some poor cell coverage this morning. Was in a known bad area and it was wonky all the way through my morning commute. Only jumping in and out of airplane mode fixed it. I presume we had a modem update from 16.1.2? Will monitor...

I think battery life is definitely better in RC.

What is “normal” for one person is not necessarily “normal “ for another. Everyone use their phone differently, has it set up differently, has different apps and of course different expectations of what they expect from an iPhone or any other battery powered item.

 

[uhaas]

Yes

Mine's still names, not email. I haven't upgraded my home yet (since the others aren't on beta). Have you upgraded your home?

 

[RSmith2023]

Hey, has anyone seen this?

Getting that same message trying to enable it on a 14 PM I have had since launch day... guess that's not old enough.. 😡

UPDATE: After updating my iPad Pro to the 16.2 RC I tried to enable ADP from there thinking maybe I needed to update it as well and got THIS message. (Odd I didn't get this on my iPhone PM)

 

[uhaas]

Spoke too soon. Now it's happening on MBP and iPad Air too. Even the Apple Music account on the HomePods shows email instead of the name. Resetting the settings and signing out and back into iCloud doesn't help. Driving me nuts. @StumpyBloke @mszilard


Have you tried restarting the devices?

Sounds like an LDAP outage for mapping emails to names.
