Yep! It’s likely nobody’s cameras are working and all the batteries are dying well before midday but nobody mentions it because that’s just the state of iOS these days.

Clearly betas are only released nowadays to taunt those few that still believe every update has the potential to fix it all in one fell swoop.

Camera and battery absolutely fine on my ip14P. Been using it all today with the family. I would be agreeing otherwise.

This sounds like one of those weird old problems that effects some and not others.

I have recently done a restore on 16.5 B1, so that probably cleared away any bugs 🤷🏽

Phone is running really smoothly, battery is solid - 5-6hrs at 50% OST, great beta for me bar the calendar animation glitch.
 
I have found it impossible to charge my iPhone to maximum capacity since I upgraded to the iOS 16.5 beta 2. Every time I attempt to charge the battery, either I have been alerted it is on hold due to the device's high temperature, or it simply won't charge at all.

What steps have you tried to fix?
 
Is this something new or this has been there?

B2 is disastrous! Battery’s a joke, front camera isn’t working anymore. What the heck is this beta for? 16.5 b1 was already a problem… honestly considering this is x.5 release a lot of issues

When did you last do a restore on your phone? Do you just apply beta after beta on your iPhone?

Have you tried reinstalling the iOS?

B2 certainly isn’t disastrous, bit dramatic.

Sorry, thought I had laid the sarcasm on thick enough. I was responding to the alarmist post declaring this build a failure because of a couple of isolated problems that can more often than not be solved by a restart.

Hopefully people pay attention to the feedback after posting here and do what’s necessary to rectify the issues rather than stewing and hoping for the next one to resolve it for them.

Nobody does sarcasm like the Brits. 😆
 
Yeah totally, in the UK taking the mickey out of people is a sign of endearment, a lack of it can even make people become distant. This is all well and good fun... until you move abroad and everyone takes offence as soon as you make the slightest joke about them !
😂

My first travels to Canada and the US involved a lot of explaining. Ruined the jokes actually 😆😂
 
Which phone
14 Pro Max 512GB
What settings did you change?
I actually did a clean install and turned off a bunch of apps in background app refresh and it seems to have fixed a lot. I also do have AOD on now.
🌟 Excellent battery life! How are you hitting that? What’s your daily routine?
Nothing special and I actually tend to push my phone a bit! I use more 5G/LTE than Wi-Fi throughout the day and use a good amount of social media apps. I can post the % used by the each too! I usually unplug my phone around 8am and plug in once in the evening around 7-8 after I’m back from work and then charge overnight
 
When we try to see the mobile data consumed by the Apps Only on Watch” and “Personal Hotspot” in iOS Settings app > Mobile Data , it does not show any data. It only shows a continuously spinning circle.
