iOS 16.3 Beta 1 ― Bug Fixes, Changes, and Improvements

[christian.terra]

can anyone confirm if the squared notifications bug (when swiping to go to notification center) is finally fixed in this beta? very annoying to see this visual glitch even in 16.2

Nope - actually seeing it more in 16.3

thanks for the reply. It's ridiculous to see a visual glitch like this after 2 major versions of iOS 16 (.1 and .2) This is the 16.0 type of bug that should have been fixed by now. Not something for official release...

Been doing a good bit of testing since the reset and reinstall

One aspect is 5G.
This device is on AT&T and I have 5G+ available.
Speeds however, both 5G and 5G+ are down.

It is averaging well under 100Mbps down and under 1mbps up.
Way less than last check (16.2b1)
Normally it was 200+Mbps down and 3-5Mbps up.

Weird now-playing widget bug on the lock screen this morning



Overall the first 16.3 beta has been really solid for me on 13 mini, so much so that thus far I feel little itch for a second. Still excited to see what January and the rest of 2023 bring, though.

Happy holidays, everyone 🫡

Music - AirPods Pro

Been playing a good bit of XMas music and vids the last couple of days.
When listening via my APP (Gen 1) sporadically the sound will cut out then cut back in - not a pause, more like a mute.
Playing using device speakers all is good.
Used my BT speakers and all is good.
Just with YouTube at the moment and APP.

Anyone on this beta experiencing the issue where the AOD turns off randomly? (Not just after an hour or two, but after a minute or two)

I’ve experienced it, too. Synced with computer and rebooted to make it go away or.. well, make it stay.

Exactly what my HomePods do too!

I personally have this issue (sometimes) since 16.0, seems like it's still not fixed

Volume control buttons still not working on my iPhone Pro 12!

Did they fix this? I open the case, put in one ear bud, all batteries are accurate. Listen for a bit, look at battery level, get this. Reopen case, everything goes to normal, a little while later it becomes this again. iOS 16.2

I also see this on 16.2. Very annoying.

PIP - Video

Have had this happen on Paramount+ and YouTube - so far

You have PIP going, jump back to the app and while the app opens, the actual video stays PIP.
See YouTube example below.

Update: Same issue with HBO Max and Netflix also occurred.

Is anyone else experiencing this strange notification issue? Occasionally I receive a notification box on the lock screen that is blank.

You have so got to love the Weather app / widget.
Says partly cloudy and it is actually raining with full clouds.

Makes you wonder sometimes if they are feeding you actual data or just the forecast and serving it up as actual data.

Unless you have the actual weather station that data is pulled from, exactly at your location it could be totally accurate for the location of the actual weather station. So, it's otherwise based on forecasted data. A 50% chance of rain means that there is a 50% chance of rain at some point in "forecast area". In the US, forecast areas can cover 20 to 50 counties in whole or part. In my case, in a large metro area, the weather station used is actually 8 miles from my home. So, what you are seeing is probably totally accurate in some place in the forecast area. 50/50 chance of being right or wrong.

Don’t think having no signal in a supermarket warrants a satellite hook up 😆

Nice to see the UI though.

What would be interesting to see is if it actually worked inside a building. Don’t try it though!

While I agree in part, it isn’t like I live in big town USA.
I live in a beach town in SoCal.
Problem this morning was the stated weather matched the forecast while actual was quite different.

Btw - the weather on my Android was accurate.

He could test it out.
Might even make the evening news.

So for those alarm widget folks out there, my widget has now stopped working correctly as well. Bedtime alarm shows as off and only the manual alarms now appear in the widget. Oh well, it was kinda cool when it worked correctly. Guess I will replace that with something else more useful now.

So even on this beta, they still haven't fixed it? I just can't get my head round how crap their coding is these days that this issue has existed for release after release and still not fixed… Along with myriad others of course.
