Of course there would be an RC 2, since Apple introduced a bug in RC1 which allowed users to enjoy amazing battery life.
Other than being sarcastic, I can’t wait to see how battery life would be in this build.
If it is worse than the previous one we need to report it!
 
Even with this RC 2, the Apple Weather app shows the wrong weather conditions & forecast. It’s the fault of iOS 16 because my wife is still on iOS 15.7.1 & conditions & forecast are spot on. Thank God for Accuweather that I can have on my watch complication, which is always correct.

It’s things like this that have not been addressed by Apple that has caused a majority of trust I used to have in Apple to disappear. If there is no Mini in future hardware releases, I am definitely moving over to an Android flip phone. Google weather is good.
 
The RC2 broke my weather channel widget. Interestingly, it has been perfectly fine through all the previous Betas up till this update.
