Weird but none of these bugs that you’ll have mentioned here happened on my 14PM, also my phone is blazing fast, zero stutter at all. I’m a lucky one?
Got a tip for us?

16.3 returned my 14PM to its glory, much better performance (snappier overall, less laggy annimations, BT devices connect faster).
The battery did take a minor hit, but it’s fine.

Updated 14 Pro from IOS 16.2 to IOS 16.3. Battery is marginally better than IOS 16.2. IOS 16 is shi*t from factory version and 14 Pro is first iPhone I updating regularly because there is so many bugs.
Do you update from beta / RC? I remember my iPad (who has it), was updated from 15.6 beta to 16.3. Maybe it assumes the device still running RC / beta version.
I don’t have it on my iPhone which was updated from 16.2 public release.

On my iPad when I look at battery for Last 10 Days it shows me the Avg Screen On and Avg Screen Off times
On my iPhone when I look at battery for the Last 10 Days the Avg and Actual are the same.
Reboot did not help.
Hard Reboot fixed the issue. It was the Last 24 Hours that was incorrect.
Just another oddity that you have to (hard) reboot for.

Bit more battery stuff….
With 16.3 I am seeing battery improvement on my iPad from 6 to 7 hours on avg. Still poor but an improvement.
With 16.3 I am seeing no change on the iPhone. Still seeing 10-12 hours or a bit more.
IPhone - while on standby and charging I am seeing background activity for up to an hour each night (Photos). I do not have iCloud backup turned on. (Manually back up photos). Not sure what is going on. Not seeing this on the iPad.
With this update my iPhone dropped 3% on battery health. There was no change on the iPad.
So far all else seems the same - no change from previous version.

I am also seeing less than optimal battery life on this release.
So I’ll charge it a bit more frequently until they resolve whatever is doing this.
Problem solved!
The constant “System Services” location pings are starting to get annoying. It’s partly OCD wondering the battery impact, but also visually just having it pop up in your periphery. Tempted to just disable system service icon and pretend it doesn’t exist at this point
Oddly it still happens with Find My iPhone disabled… then it’s the Compass Calibration that seems to trigger it… then still happens if you disable Compass Calibration and have Find my iPhone enabled
On a train right now and it’s even worse so must be something to do with Find My trying to keep track of where your device is.
I did notice they removed the old geofencing icon... so it is perhaps just doing what it used to do just more obnoxiously

In the Siri & search section, you can turn off show suggestions.
On my side I am not seeing any real battery impact on my iPhone, but still it is unusual and makes me wonder why ….
A day after I updated my iPhone 14 Pro to iOS 16.3, I found that I was logged out of just about all of my apps. I found my Apple Watch 5 was disconnected, too (had to re-pair it). Most hair-raising was my Microsoft Authenticator app had no tokens for any of the accounts stored within it (I was able to restore a backup that fixed this). Is this just coincidence? Or did any of the security enhancements in 16.3 (e.g., security key support) cause this spontaneous reset?
That wipes out all of the apps that I recently searched for. I just want to get that small section removed.
Correct, but again case charge % is gone in Settings > AirPodsName
EDIT: it’s Airpods Pro Gen1

No freezing but I have a few app crashes. I am assuming the apps need an update.
No I don’t have. Strange. I also tried DFU restore but this ap is still there.
edit: I just installed 16 beta profile and uninstalled it. It’s gone, finally.

No issues at all (again) with this latest release on my iPhone 11.
Looks like 16.3 is doing well for most of us .. its rock solid for me no issues here…
One part of Siri got fixed, when asking Siri to go into sleep mode with 16.3 and 9.3 watchOS it now puts both iPhone and watch into sleep mode finally, works flawlessly.
Battery life is excellent
Have a great day 👊🏼
