I’d hold off.

I’ve been having internet connection issues since installing this version. Connection hangs on most apps/sites. Was lucky enough to get through with this site.

Not sure what I could do if/when another update is issued as I can’t even get an iOS system update checked.

iPhone 11 for the record.

Can report: iPhone not melted.

Upgraded and iPhone 12 Pro Max and iPad Pro and both seem fine. They were also fine on 16.4. MacOS upgrade to 13.3.1 hung on reboot (recovered but reported error), but otherwise seemed okay.

Considering 16.4.1 fixes 2 actively exploited security flaws: web sites can run code and apps can get root access, it would be a good idea to update sooner than later.

When I first updated earlier today it was still there, now it shows this. Different than yours. I’m in Canada.
It comes and goes.

I noticed it says Money instead of Funds now.

Also, says Account at the top and sometimes it’ll say Account Settings.

Zero problems on 11Pro

This version installed very quickly, faster than any other update I can remind myself of. (iPhone 13 mini).

For iPhone 14 pro users; do you still have call banner bug in landscape where banner can’t be dismissed.

What noises do you get? if I open the camera app, I can hear what is like white noise form the cameras.. not sure if that is a worry

I got the buzzing noises even when not in apps that use the camera. That was yesterday night, this morning I turned off camera access for Instagram which has been known to provoke that noise. Right now it is silent but will check again later.

Ah okay.. I must admit my 14 pro is only a few days old so I am unsure if it was present pre 16.4.1.. hopefully it's nothing.

Can confirm my 14 Pro Max is now inhibiting static sounds and clicky sounds when the camera is switching focal lengths / camera lenses.
