With the news of the USB/lightning adapter being busted, buggy video playback, and no new features of note… I wouldn’t update, but that’s just me.
Got a tip for us?

this is on the front page of MacRumors and this alone is a dealbreaker for anyone relying on this connector - unfortunately I was not warned in time before installing the update.
I also wrote 8 posts upthread that the audio muting in camera roll videos keeps resetting between videos, making normal usage of the app a severe inconvenience compared to prior versions of iOS 16
No new features of note… self explanatory. We were supposed to get a Siri command to start and stop screen recording (in fact some webpages are still reporting this as a new feature of 16.5) however this was removed from the RC and is only present in the betas
Widespread bugs that have been commonly reported throughout this forum and persisted between past versions of iOS 16 still have not been fixed or improved in any way.
16.5 failed to deliver on its own promises, broke existing functionality, and added absolutely nothing of value in the process. This has shaped up to be one of the worst iOS updates of all time IMO, icing on the cake for the entire iOS 16 experience.

Well, seems like you forgot about iOS 13, and iOS 7…
For me it was iOS 11 as the absolute worst, then 13 just about as bad. 7 was actually really good for me. 16 has been the least problematic for me in quite a while. but I do have newer devices - 14PM and M2 iPad Pro. Battery life has been outstanding throughout but I’ve never had the battery issues that I read about here anyway.
Same unless I don't check for a couple or three days and then it will eventually show a badge
Right, I'm not going to check and see how long (if at all) before I get a notification badge 😂
Square notifications???Lol—I’m still getting the squared notifications randomlyQuality control is fantastic.
I’m not saying that Apple staggers the release, but the opposite: iTunes is staggering its phoning home. If it does, that’s a good thing, so we don’t DOS the servers serving out the iOS update.
BL.
Slo Mo videos won't playback in Slo Mo in the photos app. The workaround for now is to go into edit mode and press play from there, where you can see the Slo Mo working again.
Thanks for checking. I checked more videos and found I do have a few that are playing back properly with slo mo but the majority of my slo mo videos aren't slowing where they should. Doesn't matter if they were 120fps or 240fps. Issue is the same on all my devices in the Photos app, Mac, iPad and iPhone.Playing fine for me on my 14PM
I've had numerous problems with this update. Fitness app will not show my rings on iPhone, but still can see them on my watch. Clockology app is not working properly : cannot sync to membership, cannot sync faces. Please fix all this asap. There's nothing I can do. I have tried reinstalling the app, and tried restarting phone.
I dare to say that this update fixed whatever plagued the battery of my 13PM. No warm in touch anymore, no location service icon on top right of the screen. I can easily finish the day with 50% charge left and 5 hours SOT. I think I will settle in this one for a while...
The latest LinkedIn app update (today) is failing to launch in the 16.6 beta. It crashes every time.
16.5 works fine here on a iPhone 13 Pro and regular 13 and 13 mini.
Glad Apple is getting their finger out and have quicker release cycles to patch many of the newfound security issues that this release fixes.
Maybe it would be an idea to have a look at the Android phones and steal some of their best ideas.
They support 3 major versions and deliver monthly security updates to all 3 (Samsung experience).
Not saying that's without flaws but could be one way moving forward. That way users can choose if they want to do feature updates and/or security updates.

Trival, I know… but is anyone finding the Music widget is stuck on a single song/album? Changes when playing a song but reverts back, always to the same artist! Was fixed in earlier versions of 16 but back as of 16.4.1. No difference with 16.5.
