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.
Nooooooooooo… 99% 🪫. I knew this was coming. ☹️ I’m ready to order the new iPhone now. That is the only way! 😒

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! ☹️😩

I hoping for both of us and all the Apple people in the world that it will remain fast.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 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.Very nice! That’s awesome and it makes
Me happy. It should make all of us happy.
How’s the battery life looking for you?
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.
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.

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.Hard restart now your phones settled during the night?
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.
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’d like to hear from an Apple tech support person what they think about your battery health. I don’t think that’s normal.

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.![]()

I was actually expecting you to say “I have spoken..”🚨 ABSOLUTELY 100% this!!! 🚨
➡️ And Archive that encrypted back up from an official build before iOS 17. (So I’ve done one from 16.5) ⬅️
I CAN NOT STRESS that enough.
You need a safe platform/back up to go back to if sh*t hits the fan. If you hate IOS 17, as it’s just too buggy, you can easily restore back to the last official build.
Also some advice for the newbies to this or not that confident to get yourselves out of a bricked phone situ… I’d wait till beta 3 to be in the all round “safer” side of iOS 17 👍🏼
PLEASE, PLEASE, just brush up on some general reading about betas, IPSW files and DFU mode for emergencies. It still amazes me the way people go into these things blind and then panic because their “main” device 🙄 doesnt work how “they” had expected.
