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

[CupertinoSlave]

Well the volume control in a call bug is an obvious issue that should’ve been fixed by now, but here we are.

Apple has a way of ignoring the blatant bugs.

Volume controls work for me during a call. I've never noticed them not working, is just random?

Modem firmware for the 14s is a big jump from 1.22 to 1.40…

Can somebody check if the always on location/gps icon has been solved?

13PM - still the same issue.
Compass Calibration and Networking & Wireless are on non-stop.

Been that way since start of 16.2

People saying Safari is slower…

… any truth to that beta bunch?

13PM and everything (apps) seems slower. Not just Safari.
Might be just from the big sized update.

You’re comparing that to eating half a pound steak for lunch?

I, on the other hand, think my Xs Max is snappier after updating to 16.3.

[Was hesitant to install the beta on my daily driver (14 Pro) so it's my spare Xs Max for now. 😅]

Should be called BigMacRumors with all this food related chat 😆😂

I didn’t see that at all when I updated

It would show if you go into iCloud settings

Mine flagged on update.
Might be because I changed my appleID (email change) since last update, and the signed downloaded profile had a mismatch.
Regardless, I ain’t bricking my device over this.
Switched back to public beta.

Feels just as snappy on my 13pro.

Keyboard issue is not fixed

 

[dk001]

Feels just as snappy on my 13pro.

Mail, Proton Mail, App Store, Feedback, Books, Weather, Maps, Pages, Stocks (news), etc...

They all seem / feel loading and/or closing slow compared to .2RC
Moving around the screens is fast and smooth.

Gonna give it overnight and a couple of reboots and see if it still feels that way.

Wow this Update feels soooo good on my XS. Its alot snappier. Pretty happy with that Performance.

What did they actually add or change? Is this more of a bug fix update

It’s about time. Apple has been letting people get away with way too much crap in the betas for way too long now.

I have been having trouble with text input using the keypad on the phone for the last two beta versions ( back to 16.0). This beta version of 16.3 seems to have fixed all of this problem. My phone even seems to be running much faster than before. It’s a new thing so let’s see how it goes.,but so far I am very impressed.

I'm starting to think Apple can't fix it. Might be they way the hardware display is designed to interact with touch inputs. This is an obvious issue that would have been fixed by now if it was just a software bug. My feedback ticket about this says 'more than 10' reports but still says 'open'.

It's probably lock screen widgets getting location data. I mean, I know people complain about compass calibration, but I'm not seeing the battery drain from it.

Has anyone shut all of these off and gotten better battery?
