Face ID is insanely fast on 16.6 beta 1. I hope they don’t mess it up before launch. This is the best my 14PM has felt since I bought it. No issues and blazing fast.
Got a tip for us?

NOOOOOOO! Why did I even bother checking? iPhone 14 Pro Max 1TB.
Come to find out 🪫 Battery Percentage dropped to 98%
. That's within less than a month. Pathetic! 😩In addition, 0-100% Battery charge. Only have 4% left and my iPhone 14 Pro Max 1TB is barely hitting 5 hours. I was at home all day under Wi-Fi. So, it's definitely not the lower cellular signal. Dang it! ☹️😩
Somehow still at 100%. Only MagSafe Duo Charger and wired CarPlay.

Ahhhh! I like how you are a PRO user like me. You use your iPhone as you should!
Yes, thank you. I use my phone appropriately, and so do you, the iPhone ultra can’t come soon enough for us.
Hear our call @TimCook
Yeah it’s performing really, really well on my 14Pro. I do fear though, as I’ve felt this before on 16.4 and 16.5, that it’s a temporary thing. Hope not mind!
Be it they are testing performance vs battery life or just code with things being unfinished under the hood, so when they are, your phone goes back to slug mode 😆.
That’s the best way I can describe this scenario, being a non developer so not understanding what’s happening entirely. Happy to be corrected.
I hoping for both of us and all the Apple people in the world that it will remain fast.
Remember our phones are using a gpu from the ancient iPhone 13 series, for what it’s worth. Not sure if that has caused any of the problems we’ve been seeing.
I don't play games, I charge 5w between 20 and 80. I turn it off while I sleep. We have the iphone for $2200, so we have to take good care of it. 😀dynamic island seems to use a little more battery.

Not been seeing any problems on my 14Pro. I don’t have a 13 👍🏼
To you all…
Just a thought seeing as battery is always a concern to some people during betas, which is sooo unpredictable and not a true representation of your phones capabilities, BECAUSE WE ARE IN A BETA 😆👍🏼
Adjacent to the 16.6 betas forums for bugs, changes and improvements, have a dedicated 16.6 beta ? Battery, performance & health forum…
Then this one doesn’t get cluttered with the same screen grab over and over and over again, and you can talk to hearts content ❤️🔋🪫 about battery’s and health and keep this one clean for actual bugs, changes and improvements?
Just an idea.
Love Pearsey 😘
EDIT: I’ll start the first one for iOS 17 beta 1 battery life, performance & health… then it’s up to you battery freaks 😆😂.

If we're going down that route, which I agree with, I think it should be extended to how to restore, IPSW, upgrade etc as these threads always get derailed with that as well every single time and it gets boring.
Unfortunately it did not help. I even reinstalled from IPSW, same results. Thing is, I don't know whether an app update introduced the stutter or iOS 16.6 beta 1 itself. Honestly, I am hoping it's in iOS itself, because that would suggest they started tweaking something. Previously games supporting ProMotion stuttered after touch input, this time around 'Hit the Island' always stutters.
Totally. I don’t have the time to answers everyone’s questions though. No matter how well you try and describe a process, someone will always have a question, or not read something properly or just bone idol.
I think doing it for the entire iOS 16… should be enough. If people want to help others that have learnt and know the process, DM them.
I won’t be doing any IPSW file chat for iOS 17.
I’d like to hear from an Apple tech support person what they think about your battery health. I don’t think that’s normal. I wonder if you got a phone with a bad battery in it. You are dropping a percent every four months. I don’t believe it is supposed to be that way.NOOOOOOO! Why did I even bother checking? iPhone 14 Pro Max 1TB.

98% is quite normal after a few months, some iPhones are shipped with true battery healths above 100 so they may take longer to drop than others. Heat + how much you use your phone also varies.
I'm afraid when they go back to normal with these animations, going to have to start swiping a lot slower. 🤣
Apple’s rude for dropping what sounds like a very stable beta update on a Friday for developers only and making us peasant public beta testers wait till Monday.
They do pay for that privilege buddy.
Public might be a week later 🤷🏽

Or you can just get it anyway if you really want it before then.
I was actually expecting you to say “I have spoken..”
