Hvala ljepo @Banglazed

You're the man 👍

 

[hovscorpion12]

Release notes might need to be updated though

 

[bestal]

thanks @Banglazed

 

[TheYayAreaLiving 🎗️]

Thank you so much @Banglazed

 

[dog_water]

Excuse my French, but everything feels WAY ****ING SNAPPIER since this beta. I’m not normally someone who notices that kind of thing but everything feels so smooth.

We’ll see if other bugs start to present themselves, but things feel good right off the bat.

 

[Dwalls90]

Another d build?

 

[sbailey4]

Another d build?

Hey you cant use that language here. 😂

 

[TheYayAreaLiving 🎗️]

iOS 16.6 Beta 4 video is out. Check it out!

 

[pw5a29]

Nothing new or experienced, guess we just enjoy updating to something newer now at this stage

 

[Banglazed]

Public beta is out

 

[sbailey4]

Public beta is out

Anddddd apparently nobody cares. lol 😂

 

[Hans300]

I care, downloaded it and feeling happy with it.

 

[bricktop_at]

I care, downloaded it and feeling happy with it.

Yup, same here. As long as iOS17 has issues with IMAP, I won’t switch over.

Precipitation in the weather app has now been renamed to Rainfall

 

[13paul13]

Precipitation in the weather app has now been renamed to Rainfall

That keeps changing for me throughout iOS 16. Even on the same iOS version, i.e 16.5.1. One time I can look and it says Rainfall, the next time it might say Precipitation.

 

[Macx69]

I care to! iPhone 12 mini feels really good now!

 

[sbailey4]

Ha glad to finally see some activity. My comment was about the “PB is out ” post at around 1 and no comments until my post at 5:10 or so. Like a ghost town in this thread.

 

[gwang73]

Seems like nothing fixed and nothing broken, so staying with 16.5.1 for now.

 

[roncron]

Happy to be a beta tester for iOS 16 for a couple more months. The vast majority of iphones will be on iOS 16 until September, at least, and Apple will continue (albeit it at a much slower pace) to make tweaks and fixes to iOS 16 until then.

That keeps changing for me throughout iOS 16. Even on the same iOS version, i.e 16.5.1. One time I can look and it says Rainfall, the next time it might say Precipitation.

Interesting.

I've looked this morning and it's switched back

 

[Isamilis]

iOS 16.6 Beta 4 video is out. Check it out!

Probably we need more video, not on what's new, but on how much faster and more battery efficient the new version.

 

[DjanSeriyAnaplian]

Anyone who's downloaded this got any thoughts on whether it's improved on the battery drain issues with 16.5.1?

 

[JemTheWire]

Guess I’m lucky, no battery drain issues on m6 13PM.

 

[DjanSeriyAnaplian]

For anyone wondering i took the plunge with the 16.6 beta 4 and all the battery issues have resolved themselves. The phone (13 mini) is noticeably snappier too; i'd encourage people to upgrade.
