Lots of folks will be confused by that totally user unfriendly new wallpaper set up. Been using iOS 16 since beta 1 and I am still getting the hang of it
Got a tip for us?

True. I do fully get it now, but I know for a fact that on day 1 of iOS 16, a LOT of people will unintentionally change their Home Screen wallpaper when they only want to change their Lock Screen and they won't exactly know how or why that happened.
Apple needs to separate the selection process for Lock/Home Screen wallpapers a little bit, especially now when the Lock Screen is its own distinct thing, both functionally and aesthetically.
Also, I'm just baffled that after so many updates, you still can't re-organize the order of your different Lock Screens. Would love the ability to sort them based how I see fit instead of a chronological flow forced onto me.
Very pedantic!
Just to clear this up as I can see your trying to steer this conversation into another direction…
…It was a reference to the modern world of name changes. Period!
You also cannot pick a Apple wallpaper from their gallery for the Home Screen without changing the Lockscreen unless I am missing something. There is no button to go back to the Apple Wallpaper Gallery when you edit the Home Screen wallpaper. You can only pick photos from your own photo library. So strange.
Oh my goodness, you're right 😆
I just tried that and it worked (or didn't) exactly how you said. That's incredibly bizarre.
I tried installing via IPSW a long time ago when the betas started, that functionality is completely broken. iTunes rejects the IPSW and says you must update to the latest version of iTunes in order to update to iOS 16
Just removed the iOS 16 developer beta profile from my iPhone and can confirm that it has also removed the Feedback app.
Well if the only thing left to talk about on iOS 16 is the feedback app then I guess we are done here.
Playback controls still linger on-screen upon dismissing Control Center. It’s almost like Apple didn’t change anything visual (including bugs) for the last three betas.
Absolutely shoddy, along with AirPods’ Spatial Audio being on regardless of the “Head Tracking” toggle, HomePod playing in Atmos regardless of that setting, setting a wallpaper as @contacos has mentioned, and the inaccuracy of the Weather app (I don’t know if it’s been fixed but I’m guessing along with all these other issues it’s still there).

To chip in on the Feedback app saga - installed the RC last night, the Feedback app stayed. Just removed the beta profile and after a requested reboot the Feedback app is gone. ✋
The beta journey shall continue on my iPad now.
Otherwise the RC seems to be running fine on 12 mini. 👍

If there is an RC 2 would you still need the profile back on your device to install it?
You would, yes. Though if 16 is released to the public in 4 days from now as expected, I’d just hold off unless there was something MAJOR affecting my device (which is pretty much the only reason they’d release an RC 2 at this point), as the public will get whatever ends up being the newest version.
Yes, but it does not really matter, as Apple will release iOS 16 (not beta) to everybody on Monday, 12 Sep. If it has a newer build than the current RC candidate, the phone will update without needing the beta profile. If the build is exactly the same - nothing to update, as the RC and public will be identical. Besides, the chances of releasing RC2 a few days before the public are close to 0. iOS 16 is ready and any further fixes, etc. will be coming with 16.x updates from now on.
Apart from weird wallpaper selection process, they have completely removed old still wallpapers, which I personally don't understand at all. They could keep them in special category and call it "Classic" or something similar, like they do with ringtones from the iOS 7.
Maybe Jony Ive and his agency designed them and with him leaving, so did the copyrights haha
Hahaha, this could be an answer. Although there are still some Apple Colors and old iOS 7 Style Dynamic Wallpapers and there is no explanation why they have removed exclusive to each iPhone model wallpapers (I know they are live ones mostly, but it is not hard to keep them still, right?)

Standard U. S. business law says that an employee or contractor who creates content (programming code, intellectual property, physical property, etc) does not own the copyright, patent or design - it belongs to the company for whom they created it.
Interesting. When we hire an external agency to do some creatives for us, we always have to pay extra to receive the open files for example unless it was already part of the contract negotiations
I thought you were joking.
Apple is never going to sign a license for anything that depends upon a person remaining with the company for its continued use. Moreover, it is obvious that when Ive started the agency, that was a way for him to ease out gracefully. There was no doubt he was leaving (and that was reinforced by the recent book). Finally, as pointed out above, if hypothetically Ive designed these while an employee, the standard employment agreement in the US requires that it become the company’s property.
I would amend this to say that a contractor’s work is not necessarily that of the retaining company. That’s a matter of the agreement between the parties. I’ve seen plenty of instances where the contractor retains ownership of the IP it creates for the company. Usually, it comes down to bargaining power.
Interesting. A bit of searching on the web bears this out... employees' work belongs to the company... ownership of a contractors' work is negotiable - typically spelled out in the work agreement.
Something that just appeared for me in the RC. Never seen this before.
Announce Messages is turned on in CarPlay, but is is not respecting the voice I have set in both Siri and Accessibility Spoken Content. Messages are being read aloud in a different voice than the British Siri 1 voice I have set in both locations.
