iOS 16 Speculation Thread

Pearsey said:
You're on a stable ios now. Or it wouldn’t be released to the public if it was unstable, so unusable.

16.2 would like a word with you

Really; iOS 16 has been botched from the get-go. If I could be on iOS 15 on a 14 Pro Max, I would!

Can you pair please get a room because your comments, not for the first time, are becoming increasingly boring.

Yes. Reasonable comments expressing the views of most of the reasonable people on this forum are boring.

By all means, let's have more alarmist unfounded claptrap to liven things up. After all, its all about the entertainment value rather than facts, right?

People need to stop spreading this FUD. 16.3 is perfectly fine for most with a few vocal outliers gathered in that thread. I have it on my daily driver 14PM and iPad Air 5 and I can’t think of a single thing wrong with either.

By no means am I discounting those with issues but quit scaring people away with this stuff. 16.3 is no worse or better than 16.2.

And it is precisely this type of sensationalist fear-mongering you correctly refer to that has led me to reduce my profile here.

All of these releases have some issues. None have issues that significantly impede their use for the vast majority (i.e., 99%+) of customers.

This forum would be infinitely better if people accepted the limitations of the beta software they are testing , reported the issues they have (both here and to Apple) and stopped complaining as much.

These are fair criticisms and I do admit that my original comment was on the sensationalized side. I read these beta threads quite frequently and the issues that were mentioned (whole phone freezing up, app unresponsiveness, apps not installing from the App Store) were noted by a vocal minority. I'm also aware that this is beta software and new bugs tend to crop up in beta 2 builds as more changes are made (whereas beta 1 tends to be branched off from a previous build). With all of this in mind, I was concerned that jumping straight from beta 2 to RC might introduce these issues to more people on the stable/public release channel for iOS but I could have definitely phrased things better.

Lesson learned 🙂

Well said.

The number of posts with people discussing issues is an institutional hazard of forums. Page after page of people posting that ”Everything is Fine” would be boring, both for the posters and the readers. Hence, we don’t see that, which gives rise to an “Issues Bias” in the forum overall, I.e., issues receive more attention than they represent in the overall user base.

I appreciate your response. This is certainly not your usual community and things just function a bit differently. We’re all here to learn and teach and this is just a step of that process.

Compared to past years iOS 16 is actually pretty solid overall, but it’s got its quirks. I just came back from a movie (M3GAN was wild) and my phone and watch switched back to my home Focus after the drive home but when I went to use the phone it wasn’t responding to tap-to-wake. I woke it up with the power button and it said my passcode was required to activate Face ID. Definitely a bug, not a big deal as everything is copacetic now. Reported and catalogued with the rest.

More reason to believe we’ll be getting RC this week unless they decide to not release iOS and macOS at the same time.
