I've been having some tough luck with the Camera lately. Tried to use a Photo App - Panorama feature today. Tried it twice. I know this is a beta. But, Is this a joke? Come on, Apple. 😒

OH MY GOSH!!! Apple finally got rid of the stupid HUGE pop-ups in the music app when making changes to play next or playlists. I’ve been asking for years! So happy to see those ugly, slow pop-ups gone! (I also hope this is not just a bug and they end up returning in later betas 😂… fingers crossed)!
Really??? Wow this could be a reason to jump on the beta again xD

Are the squared notifications that then turning into rounded edges on lockscreen fixed?
 
My 2010 Accord has the 6 CD changer mechanism. Which I actually prefer to picking out something on the phone. Everything’s just there, don’t have to mess around with apps or menus, it turns on as soon as the car starts, it remembers where it left off when I get back… I’d probably miss it if I got a new car. Very easy to just load it up with 6 favorites and let it go.


I’d probably feel differently if I had CarPlay in that vehicle. Our ‘17 Accord has CarPlay in the infotainment system, and a single disc CD player. I think it’s the last year that Honda offered the CD player in the Accord, it may still be around in the civic or CRV though I’m not certain.
Since it’s not a disc changer and I like variety, the player gets used much less often. The infotainment system/CarPlay is kinda slow and unresponsive, so that doesn’t get used much either. Ideally I’d be able to play music files off a USB drive, which it supposedly is capable of, however it does not recognize any of them. 99% of the time it just stays on the FM radio.



Most of the high end aftermarket car stereos you can buy now from Pioneer and such have nice big screens with CarPlay, still have CD players, along with USB playback, and all the bells and whistles you can think of… and I bet they’re nice and responsive too, moreso than Honda’s cheapo stock electronics. Not sure I personally care enough to upgrade the stereo in my car, but they exist.


I think the only way you could avoid a car with a CD player over the last 15 years is if you avoided cars altogether.
What’s interesting in this conversation is that everyone who remembers a CD player is getting personally offended. Also I think @Pearsey is Welsh or Bri’ish or UKian and it sounds like the CD lover crowd is American… knowing they have cars called a Ford Mondeo across the pond, is it that difficult to think they got rid of CD players earlier? Or that it was a slight exaggeration? Or that @Pearsey has one sh**box for 13 years without a CD player and 2 years ago got a Rolls Royce without one???

Also, why are people gripping about public Vs developer access?????? If you pay $100 it’s because you’re developer, not a paying beta tester. You should be developing your software and verifying it works on the upcoming iOS. 🤦🏻‍♂️
These forums have entitled people. Can we just stick to the BETAs and not nitpick each other???????

I’m not offended as it’s just a piece of plastic we’re talking about, nothing for me to take personally. I just saw the statement as surprising - then again, I really have no idea what cars are like in the UK anyway! But I imagine most Japanese or German cars are largely the same on that side of the pond, other than the fact that they put the steering wheel on the wrong side of the vehicle.

Took this yesterday.. No issue for me, too much caffeine or bad camera for you maybe ???. 🤣

FYI ….I could not post this pic at full resolution it said the file was too large so may not look as nice as it does on my phone.

I think your phones got some hardware issues, what with your screen orientation rendering too.

Not seeing this also on my ios14
 
Have you not stepped foot in a car for any of those 15 years? Even just 5-ish years ago they were still a very standard part of the infotainment system in the vast majority of new vehicles.

Maybe 10 years ago. Not 5.

Thanks for posting the results. I think my iPhone couldn’t handle how many photos I was taking. I took well over 1500 photos yesterday 😂

Not sure. The camera works fine when taking a picture or so but with Pano mode. I’m experiencing this bug. Could be software related? Maybe iOS is just buggy for me. If it was a hardware issue I would have a hardware glitch but this one seems more like a software. If I go to the Apple Store they will say to set the iPhone up as new 🤦‍♀️

You may well have overheated the sensor with that many photos. That could lead to the type of problems you’re having.

I've got a Mondeo, and I'm British and it has a CD player 😂 coincidentally after the facelift in 2019 the CD player option was standard only on high end trims.

But yes back to betas, I'm sure there are various infotainment forums the delights of CD player ownership can be discussed 😂

Having apparently been the instigator of this whole car cd player debate despite it just being in the photos and never mentioned in my post, the irony is that although I have the cd player as part of the factory head unit and have owned the car for 9 years I’ve never actually used it as I’ve always had my phone connected for music… except when an iOS beta breaks that!

This is weird. I made a 16.3.1 backup before installing the 16.4 beta 1. Because of the scrolling issues in the beta, I restored the backup. Everything went successfully, but now my phones says it is on 16.4 and at least a couple of the 16.4 features are there: 5G standalone and choices for beta (I checked and is off) and developer in the update menu.

But the kicker is the scrolling is working. What is going on?

Restoring a backup does not revert the software. You just factory reset 16.4 and restored a backup from 16.3.1; you have to downgrade with IPSW to actually go back to 16.3.1.
