Great, another update to be alerted about multiple times a day for two months before my employer approves it.
Glad to hear display issue on iPhone 14 models are fixed with this update.
Everybody that I’ve talk to online and friends that use them for their corporate office say to get to one primary and one back up. It looks like Apple also hints/says it requires two as well…
I need two?
Jeez, I just bought a key for £47 and now need to buy another?
edit: Well i bought another one😒I know it makes it more safer and secure but ... urgh whatever lol it's done now.

One to carry with you and one to keep somewhere safe. I bought a key but didn't realise I need two for setting it up. I had seen recommendations that you should buy two but I hoped i could set it up and buy a second key at another time. Spend £96 on two keys this morning lol but hey it's the whole point of keeping my stuff secure.
If you only had 1 key and lost it then you could be locked out all your accounts so I guess it's best to invest in two or more. I'd rather spend the money than lose my Apple account!
How is the wallpaper applied - like in the released images here - without getting so zoomed in?
Update: fixed

HomeKit has been a problem for ages and really could do with a major overhaul, making changes to the underlying architecture to improve things. Oh, wait a second…
😂
I just did some initial research on security keys. I wonder if they're going to become a thing everyone carries around? Maybe we'll need to get airtags for them? 
Can't see them becoming too common that everyone carries them. Most people still use the same password for everything or don't even know what their password is. Even the people who take their online security somewhat seriously will at most use a pw manager and only enable 2FA with sms/authentication app. Not many people will go out and spend £90-100 on a couple of physical keys. Most likely keys will still only be used by businesses or the few individuals who are really serious about security.I just did some initial research on security keys.

While security key is easily the biggest feature of 16.3 for me I doubt most people will even know what it means. Probably more excited for the new wallpaper.
and you can put the key on a key ring...with an air tag. that's what i'll be doing. i have a tag on my house/car keys.
Coming next week: turn off these iOS features to save battery life.
If you Google for it you’ll find plenty of people complaining about the issue. I’ve had it for the past few months, the only way to fix it seems to be to turn off all offending location functions, which leaves my Apple Watch unable to track things like distance and speed while working out.
Basically, my phone looks like this more often than not and ever since it started, battery life has suffered.

I appreciate these articles on new Apple software releases. It would be helpful to include what has not released since they so often all release together. For example, since TVos wasn’t released today it would have helped to mention that.
I’m a big fan of the Yubikey 5ci if I need it on my iOS device(s) with lightning.
USB-C & Lightning YubiKey 5Ci Security Key | Yubico
Protect yourself from account takeovers with the efficient, multi-protocol YubiKey 5Ci. Go passwordless with our USB-C and Lightning dual ended security key.
On my mac where I don't want to have the size of this, I prefer the Yubikey 5c nano because it doesn't get in the way in backpacks and whatnot:
USB-C YubiKey 5C Nano | Two Factor Security Key | Yubico
Secure your accounts from takeovers with our multi-protocol security key designed to fit USB-C ports. Experience modern passwordless, strong authentication.
Security keys don’t synchronize codes between them. The purpose of two is to ensure that if you lose one of the keys, you have a recovery method of the other key. Generally speaking, when working with physical security keys or passkeys (webauthn), they require a method of either synchronization somehow (in the updated FIDO standards for passkeys) or you need multiple physical devices (as referenced here).
At any one time, you only use one key, unless that key is lost, you are on a different device, etc. Hope that helps
Couldn't you have just got the 5C NFC or even the 5 NFC (USB-A)? They are cheaper and you could use the NFC on your Apple stuff.I’m a big fan of the Yubikey 5ci if I need it on my iOS device(s) with lightning.

I got two 5 NFC keys. I'm mainly going to be using it on my PC so got the one with USB-A but I can use NFC for my iPhone/iPad.
I'm confused. Sorry if I misunderstood anything. So say I'm setting up both my keys with my Apple account, what happens? Does the "Key" go onto both keys and I can use either one at any time or does a "pass key" go onto one and a "recovery key" onto the other one?Security keys don’t synchronize codes between them.

I am not seeing them either. I saw a YouTube from someone that said all devices needed to be updated to 16.3. I've updated my iPhone, iPad, Watch and iMac, but still don't seen an option to update the home pod mini in the Home app.
