Since Beta 2 I Have noticed that "Battery Optimised Charging" is in effect even though I have switched it off, phone is randomly not charging above 88% and when look at the state it says"paused due to battery optimised charging" even though toggle is switched off.

Have tried on/off but no difference, next night does the same again

Anybody else having the same ?
 
New Rapid Security Response code in iOS 16.4 beta 3 adds wording about apps that could be incompatible with security updates. "Some apps may be closing unexpectedly due to incompatibility with the latest iOS rapid security response. Removing the security response may fix this," reads Apple's wording.
Could that be the problem for some of the guys complaining about crashing apps or widgets?

There’s been no real security patches in these updates and so far they’d only been testing the feature and optimizing it along the way.
They could start implementing it with a future update possibly 16.5.

Really, why the restart demand after?
 
Not really 16.4-specific but Apple just updated Testflight and the actionable button text is now a lighter, icier blue 🩵🫨

Good point but there has not been one for beta 3 yet. Also as stated they supposedly are nothing to them as of yet.

They annoy me because they still involve rebooting. I don't understand why it isn't possible for Apple to provide any updates, from deep security ones, to little Mail ones, without requiring a reboot (and in the case of stock apps, an entire O/S change).

So ... I've just ignored them. Of course, once out of beta I'll be installing them, as I want security updates regardless of reboots.

Rapid Security Responses that involve the operating system require the device to restart. Rapid Security Responses that involve Safari require the user to quit the app.

That's good - I didn't know that.

I hope they expand this to fixing non-security bugs in their stock apps, too.

Edit: Apple has to reboot the App Store just to add a new colour to something :)

Along with small battery widgets not working on the lock screen we can add the Tesla battery widget not working properly on the Lock Screen too, just a circle with a highlighted circle no info inside the circle like previous versions

on a side note this Beta is running great on 14PM

AirPods Max seem to be slow in connecting and/or just struggling to automatically connect altogether to my iPhone on this beta.

Apple needs to fire their connectivity team. I’ve had AirPods 1, 2, 3 and Pro and they’ve all had issues with cutting out. I also have two OG HomePods and two Minis and I don’t even try to use them anymore.

Edited to add this beta feels spectacular on my 14PM. Very smooth and responsive.

The icons of the devices in the warranty section of the settings have changed. The dark icon no longer appears, but with a background, it looks better hehe

Also from what I've seen, the iPhone icon is customized by the model and color you have, it's not a generic one.

That’s how the process works with the actual security patches so they treat it like it’s an actual update during the testing phase. iOS betas are well established but separating security updates is a paradigm shift and this calls for a much more rigorous testing before it’s deemed ready for public.

Focus mode wallpaper settings are bugged as hell. I can’t set separate wallpaper for lock and home screen
