Yup. I’m on 14.8 on my main phone, getting the 14p though so will be updating very soon. Suppose I will just have to deal with it. Not happy with it, but I can’t stay on this aging OS forever. I don’t use iCloud anymore since Apple implemented the scanning though. I don’t have anything to hide, I just don’t like anything about it including apple’s “but think of the children” BS reasoning.

Oh you sweet sweet Summer child that you believe you have any semblance of privacy on the Internet. Rule number 1 of OpSec is to already consider yourself compromised. Every single company is harvesting your data, monitoring and tracking your every single move.

Apple doesn't 'need' any reason to give a BS excuse to scan any of your files you put on their servers, it's already against the law for you have any kind of files that breach your countries laws. In this instance all Apple is actually doing is 'enforcing' this. It is after all their hardware, their servers, and their liability.

Would you allow me to store something in your house without you knowing what I am storing? "Hi buddy, you don't mind me storing this big box in your house, don't ask what it is, because I don't need your BS excuses, it's none of your business what I'm storing". How would you feel if I took that approach? What if I said here's some hush money to keep your nose out. I seriously doubt you'd be so accommodating when it's 'you' on the receiving end.

Stomp your little feet on how unfair it is you can't store your filth on other peoples property all you like.
No-one cares about it but you.

Sticking with 15.7 and 13 mini for as long as possible. Lost all trust in Apple to a) not break the staples for the sake of headline features, and b) not to surreptitiously weaken privacy at the behest of increasingly authoritarian states.

*edit* after restarting the phone a couple times and also just leaving it for a while, all seems good again.


I was super excited to try all the features in iOS 16, soi did something I never do - upgrade to the .0 (ie 16.0) version of a new release.

Regrettably most of my apps crash shortly after opening. I can basically use Safari - no apps. Even the photos app crashes.

This is on a 2 month old iPhone 13 Pro.

If you updated to 15.7, it’s already to late, imo.

Possibly. But I figured major changes would be in 16+ and that security updates to 15 were worth the ‘risk’. We’ll never know. In any case I’m happy enough with 15 in terms of features 👍

My 13 pro max feels speedier and smoother in iOS 16 compared to 15.6. I am going to call BS on your claim that iOS 16 has basically neutered all the apps in your phone.
 
I used to upgrade day 1, especially when new and exciting features were available. Nowadays, I just want a stable system with no keyboard lag and great battery life. I’ll upgrade at some point, but I don’t like to beta test software every year.

I'm on a 13 mini, battery life is really good, also no lags, everything works as it should. Just very few UI stutters but those will be gone with future updates. Overall, i don't regret it updating it to 16.

Precisely. No thanks to those UI stutters.

Nothing major trust me, i'm very perfectionist and very needy as in smooth things when it comes to UI. And it doesn't bother me at all. Stutters happens when i'm doing things too fast on the phone but overall is a very stable iOS
 
Looking at MRs iOS 16 forum, still lots of bugs. However, glad peeps are updating faster this year so they can get ironed out faster. 🙂
The number of people who are okay with the general public being used as a beta testing group…
 
Flush out? I can't keep up with all of these new technical terms...
Yeah, just say “finish it”.

But then, Apple never do finish anything. They move right past and ignore the hundreds of already-reported bugs, pushing the next version into another rushed development cycle, for another buggy release next year.

Well… I get to decide if I want to be a “beta tester”. Someone else does not.

What’s interesting is that the MR posters who railed against csam scanning, doesn’t seem to scale up to the general public.

Proving MR posters do not represent the public at large.
