My 16.5 journey... from 🤯 to 🥳
Tap to wake was awful on 16.5 b1 and some Settings where changed on the last IPSW file update.
So I reinstalled the iOS, reinstalled a couple of apps because Maps was laggy opening, still no change.
Downgraded the normal Finder options button tethered IPSW file way, but phone errored mid process and a restore was the only way out. Restored back to 16.4 from an Archived back up.
Everything was back to normal... until, Public beta came out and I got a red badge 🔴 😅
So I thought, screw it, easy enough to restore back again, so I installed 16.5 Public beta, OTA, 😳 yes I know shock horror, what drugs was Pearsey on last night, and...
...Everything is just peachy. Tap to wake is super responsive and in the process Settings weren't changed. Feels really great on my ip14P
So... maybe Public builds are slightly different to Developer builds 🤷🏽, even though they hold the same build number, or just the restore fixed something with an already lovely running phone on 16.4... moral of the story is, betas are tricky sometimes, things don't always go your way, so you just gotta get proactive with it and try things out and always, always, have a back up from any build but even more so from the last official to jump back to - I didn't need to wait for iOS 16.5 beta 2, as some might of thought, put it that way. Peace 👊🏼
