I think people get the point of the update, they just get annoyed that Apple is adding wallpapers like its some hard to come by item that they can't get unless Apple releases them to us.

Has it addressed real issues rather than cosmetics?
They didn't list the new bugs. Those are features. Festures to make you want to upgrade to iOS 17. And, if you need a new phone to do that, Apple offers it's sincerest apology.
How do I turn off ALL Apple sports marketing & news? In iOS, iPadOS, Apple App Store, Apple TV, MacOS … everywhere. I am not interested in team & performance sports at all, and I want it gone from my sight on my devices. So far, I see no Preferences/Settings thing to express this preference of mine, and it annoys me.
Wish the move the the Lock Screen wallpaper to setting menu. I'm always activating the customize screen. Annoying 
This why it is best to get the report by, for example, looking out the window …😀
Which one is correct? In Las Vegas, I'm betting on Mostly Sunny.
Watching this really shows how ios is missing so many good features.
Long press and select customize, then when it splits into lock and home screen select which one you want to change. You can then hit the little picture icon in the lower left to select a new background.
If you scroll to the right and hit +, that’s why it’s creating a new lock screen. Apple is thinking of them like watch faces on the watch where you would have several set up with different widgets and activate them with a focus mode.
So they’re not even there? That’s the entire reason I wanted this update in the first place. Why the f would they remove this? What’s the last 16.5 beta that still has this feature?
Hey everyone,
Great news! The new iOS update is finally here today! Can't wait to see what improvements and features Apple has packed into this one. Time to update and explore!

I'm pretty sure there are small improvements that were not listed. For example, previously when you have a Live photo and you tap-hold the subject it will lift it from the background and not play the Live photo. Now it actually plays the Live photo as longs as you don't drag it.
Where I live, you can have a half mile wide tornado with 300+ MPH winds and have it be a bright sunshiny day, both at the same time. My hometown got big swaths erased by such on more than one occasion.
Just a small point, but I don't trust internet enabled locks or doors. It's a dangerous technology, even if the programmers know what they are doing and in reality, much of the code is rubbish. Even if the programmers are good, they can be using compromised libraries. If the code is found to have a serious exploit two years later, there is no expectation that it will be fixed. You will be lucky if you find out about it.
It’s not just you. The weather is messed up globally.

This is what’s new… Spotlight search failed on me after updating.
The keyboard disappeared, spotlight search bar moved to the middle. iPhone froze.

I'll never understand why they made the default for wallpaper pair, the home screen, to be blurred. I hate them blurred.
The default should be normal, and you should have to tap on Blur if you want it blurred.

More like they get annoyed for the sake of being annoyed. Apple supporting social causes does nothing to change the experience of using their device or services.
Try doing it from the lock screen.
Long press on the lock screen > scroll left > Add New
Remember we are on the long tail of the feature-curve. The Age of Innovation is behind us.
That low hanging fruits allowing us grown-ups to position icons and widget freely on the Home Screen? - meh, humbug!
And don’t worry - that stupid interface is activated by mistake all the time in your pocket so you will likely end up with the new wallpapers sooner than later.
