Agreed! iOS 16.4 has been super solid for me all around. Getting great battery life and the phone is buttery smooth. Of course there are random visual glitches but they are infrequent and very minor, for me at least.
It's the other way around if anything, according to the security website the fixes from iOS 16 are often backported to 15 at a later date.
But what I was trying to say is that you're not getting any security patches if you stay on an older version than what your device supports, whether it's iOS 15 or 16.
stay at 100% battery health so they keep giving us good press 
Hey someone’s gotta do it!
To be honest, I’m surprised my phone is still showing 100%. I use it fairly heavily and I don’t baby it.
Sorry I’m late. Anyhoo, I babied my 12 pro max and still managed to run it down to 86% in less than two years so now I can’t even be bothered to baby the 14 pro max. Only thing I do is put my phone right up to the A/C unit while charging at max wattage. And yes I fast charge every day through a wire. Maybe the 12 was a dud? Ha.
12 series battery is iconically bad. How do you think they made them so thin? My regular 12 absolutely sucked in both short and long-term life while my 13 mini demolishes it 🙌😹
Yeah them downgrading the batteries in every 12 model AND adding 5G support at the same time was just a recipe for disaster. Worst series ever! Not to mention the green tint and LCD black issues.
This on your primary iPhone? It's usually good idea to test drive this on one of your secondary iPhones if you have them laying around.
It should be a user accessible setting to adjust how much wattage is used in charging. If I want to slow charge when I plug my phone in overnight for example I should be able to choose this.
😆
So after a deeper individual dive into notifications for each account, they were off. F knows why. Also optimised charging was on. 🙄
Would love to know why settings are changed FFS. Hands off my data Apple.
All sorted.
So, basically ... you turned off notifications, complained notifications were off, and turned them on again.
Glad we got that sorted.
You're so in the ecosystem you're sleep-configuring your devices!
DOWNGRADING: on a Mac, using the options key + IPSW file FAILED going from 16.5 beta 1 to 16.4... for me. Normally this hasn't been a problem, but considering the new beta "non profiles" set up now, might be interfering with that easy process - A restore got me back to 16.4 using the above method with the IPSW file.
TESTED: Updating and reinstalling the iOS using this method works fine. 👍🏼

This may be new, or I am just seeing it for the first time. I forgot to grab a screenshot though.
Wife texted me that we need to make enchiladas for an event tonight and asked me to "pick up the stuff on my way home from work."
Top of the message thread had a banner for a Siri reminder to "pick up the stuff." and had an add button to add to reminders.
Is this new in 16.5? Or had I never received a message that triggered it before?

Not yet. My guess is that this is a licensing restriction of some kind. The car is the perfect place for this app.
That said, you can play tracks and playlists that you've saved in Apple Music Classical via the regular Music app.
I have VERY occasionally gotten one of those in earlier versions. But so rarely as to be totally unuseful.
How’s everyone’s battery? My 14PM is getting better SOT than it was on 16.4
Not new.
I suspect, based on the infrequency of these, that it requires specific words or phrase to trigger this.
I ignore the few I get.
Just an update on my Apple Watch 8 excessive battery drain—it started draining really fast starting in watchOS 9.4 beta 4 and persisted through 9.5 beta 1. I finally tried an unpair and re-pair yesterday and it seems to have solved the issue. FYI for anyone with a similar issue.
