Just more of the same over last few days about the 14’s getting a day 1 update. Unsurprising.Apple releases iOS 16.0.1 with bug fixes for iPhone 14 - 9to5Mac

It had been reported that the build would be the same as what was released on Monday, but looks like it is a newer build
Perhaps, just for clarity. It would likely be just a placebo update (is that the right term?), containing nothing but a new build.
I’m hoping 16.0.1 doesn’t make resorting from backup from 16.0 when we get the 14 a nightmare. Will we have to skip the update when setting up the phone to restore and then update once the new phone is set up? I guess we won’t know until Friday.
You can always restore from a lower numbered version of iOS to a higher numbered one (e.g., 15.6.1 to 16). It’s going the other way that is problematic.
Ah, that makes me feel better. I was under the impression both devices had to be on the same version.
Have a read of the article buddy…
available exclusively for the new iPhones as the update comes with even more bug fixes for the 14 and 14 Pro models
Stay on 16 and do your restore. You can down the IPSW file and hold alt when you select restore button to stay on 16, coz you would select the IPSW obvs, then select your 16 back up.
Once your restores done, and your back ups on, update to 16.1 beta 1. Pretty sure what’s ever in 16.0.1 will be in that… could be an easy work around if you’re still wanting to be on the beta train of love.
Also, as long as you don’t have the Dev or Public Beta Profile installed, it won’t look specifically for a new version number, it would look for a new build number, and one that’s officially released. So if we’re all on 16 and another release of 16 comes out with a larger build number, we’d be offered it.
Same goes for during a restore or setting up a new device.
Also also, you can’t restore from a NEWER build, only an older or same build, unless it’s the same version of OS. And generally during the beta testing process, all of the betas are still being signed so you can still restore to a prior beta. Although now that 16 has officially been released, I’m not sure anything but the official release would work.
Here's a good example- Looking at the signing status of the .ipsw files for the iPhone 14 Pro Max, both iOS 16 (20A362) and iOS 16.0.1 (20A371) are being signed. Unless this changes, this would mean that if you get a new phone on Friday, you should have no problem restoring from a backup created while also on the official release.

But then if you look at the iPhone 12 Pro, you can see that there are more releases still being signed:

Fingers crossed.
I’m still getting the Home app HomeKit underlying architecture upgrade prompt that won’t go through without a further HomePod upgrade.
The “unable to check for update” message is still appearing on yesterday’s iOS 16.1 beta. I doubt we’ll be seeing any updates until that is resolved.
The issue seems to be fixed, no longer seeing the message
Well, I'm currently on the 16.0 PB, not the 16.1 beta. That shouldn't pose a problem.
I disagree. We’ve seen it many times where the release an update that is only for certain phones & this is likely one of those times. We’ll see another release in a week or 2 for all devices after the 14 Only update, though.
Just speculating! It seems odd that Apple would wait too long to realign all phones on the same build number. 9 builds is not a tiny amount of updates.And then everyone on iPhone 14 will have to update again?
If not a modified 16.0.1 for all on Friday, and not a 16.0.2 for all on Friday, then I think we'll still see a 16.0.2 pretty quick. 16.1 isn't coming before end of Oct.
