First time I’m seeing Upcoming Automatic Update
For your battery woos for now...
It actually looks like it happens when my phone switches from 5G to 5G UW or UC, those two extra letters lol. Gotta love US carriers.

I've seen that more often than not... often for apps that submitted updates 3-4 days prior
Probably too early to tell but 16.6 at least seems better on battery drain. "System Services" location pings are still unrelenting, but never mind.
Phone doesn't always feel hot at least... better screen on time too so pretty happy. Apple will likely ruin it by the 3rd or 4th beta

Same thing happening to me, APP pauses for a half a second and then the volume goes all the way up, while the message red by Siri is barely audible. Shame it is back, it was OK on the RC. Most of my use cases are without bugs, so overall happiness with this build.
Just wanted to double check.
13 ProMax parked in standby.
Only thing showing is 2m Home Sreen
75% battery left after 53 hours of no use with nothing running fore or background.
Confirms by 12%+ per day standby battery use.
Definitely worse on this beta.

I installed this developer beta, and want to go back to non beta. Apple instructions are not working for me (press volume up, volume down, hold side button, then restore. Anybody know how to revert to non-beta? iPhone 14 Pro.
Plug into iTunes, click restore iPhone. It will automatically download 16.5 and wipe your phone. Hopefully you have a backup that wasn’t overwritten with 16.6.

This is the 🔋 battery life I would love to see.

I think mine is even better than that. I’ve never been below 30% on my 14PM. But I don’t spend all day watching videos as some might, but I take it off the charger usually around 6 a.m. and put it back on around 10 p.m. after having used it for emails, word games, browsing, GPS navigation, checking financial accounts, Twitter, Kindle reading, etc. I’m not certain I’ve ever gotten to 30%.
Ask yourself: “Why would I install beta software on my critical hardware without knowing how to undo the process.”
What do you think the odds are of that? Or, if so, that it was archived and hence not overwritten?
I’m just getting myself steeled for many such posts beginning in 10 days from those eager to try out the new iOS 17 features and discovering they can no longer access their bank account.
I really wonder how he does that. My 14PM on 16.5 uses about 15% of battery for every hour of Screen On Time. And it has been like that since 16.0. Somehow below average. AOD is off.
Damn, money can’t buy grammar I guess.
It can be pretty difficult to get it just right sometimes, I’d suggest looking up a YouTube tutorial on how to do and follow along as you watch. If it’s not done perfectly it will fail every time.
Good luck to you on your quest.
DFU mode can be tricky sometimes but recovery mode is hard to miss. Just leave the iPhone plugged in and then Vol Up then Vol Down and then keep pressing the Power button till it enters the Recovery mode.
Recovery mode is the only way to downgrade without losing data.
No chance. I’ve hung that cape up. Enough of you know, even though it’s scary how wrong it’s already being reposted.
Can you imagine how many questions I would get on that forum. I’d need a bible sized FAQs page and probably get some people even demanding I go round and fix it for them myself. 😆😂
