Shocking that 16.2.1 didn’t come out a few weeks ago. Still so many bugs on iOS 16 with the 14 models especially.
Yeah, I’m particularly disappointed. I’m going to be traveling and I’m definitely not taking the risk of doing an update while I’m so far away from home and have basically nothing but my phone to rely on. By the time this iOS comes out, it’s already too late. A bug fix for 16.2 should have been issued within a week. Not more than an entire month later. It would not have even slightly impacted their ability to release 16.3 when they wanted to - they just didn’t care how their users were impacted.
I’m not seeing many bugs at all. Perhaps the issue is on your end and not Apple’s?
iOS 16, 16.1, and 16.2 have all been riddled with bugs. 16.3 will be no different. Just gotta learn to live with them. I’ve given up on hoping they get fixed.
16 has been just about the buggiest iOS of all… maybe 17 will be one of those stability/performance focused updates.
Agreed. There will always be bugs, but 16 is particularly bad. I’m honestly really surprised they haven’t gotten more of a handle on it yet.
Pretty sure it has dedicated tester plus all the staff, and then they’re all of us reporting.
Also, depends how you treat your device, steps to fix any bugs… you call Apple for help for example they will get you to do a restore… and what your experiencing could be just your device or a third party app that has a very small number of people being effected. Which means that bugs priority might be quite far down the line.
Just trying to paint a bigger picture. It’s not just install the new iOS, there’s a bug, wait for next update to fix, that didn’t fix it and so on and so on. Most things you do a hard restart for and you’re fixed, or reset the network settings and your WiFi stops dropping.
90% of what’s being banded about on these forums I can honestly say I’m not experiencing. Using an IP14P. But then I take exceptional care when looking after my phone from battery charging behaviour to iOS installations. 🤓

When do we think 16.3 will be released publicly? Tomorrow? Tuesday since that's when the new M2 devices are released? Wednesday since that's a week since the RC was released?
Agree. Since the new MBP’s will be available in stores here in the US beginning Tuesday, Jan 24th, the software has to be available before then (i.e., before stores open in the Eastern Time zone).
Tomorrow it is!

Good morning & Happy Monday!
Hope everyone had a great weekend. Monday... A big day ahead of us. As speculated by others I have a strong feeling iOS 16.3 is being released on Monday around 10:00 AM PDT.
Make sure to charge up your devices. It's going to be a very exciting day! Let's get it! 🙃

Morning, wouldn’t expect to much today if your on the RC. Very high chance it will just be the same build number.
But… for all your other non-beta devices, happy F**king Christmas.
I’d love to see Home Screen customization, like Nova Launcher for iOS. I really loved it when I was a Droid user.
Last year 15.4 was a small release so I hope it’s not another 16.3 with nothing really changed
These are the changes that were made in 15.4
New Features & Changes
- Universal Control support in iPadOS when used with MacOS 12.3 beta
- FaceID with Mask without Apple Watch for iPhone 12 & 13
- Can add glasses manually to FaceID
- New SharePlay option added to various Apple apps using the '...' instead of only the share sheet
- Turn off notifications for personal automations in Shortcuts app
- Can add notes in Passwords
- New Emojis
I would not call this a small release. The biggest change was adding Universal Control, for which we had all been clamoring. And Emojis!!!!
So, if Apple follows its normal cadence, we may see something that was promised at WWDC (such as Apple Pay delayed payments (or whatever its called) and Apple Classical Music) but not yet rolled out. Plus we may see something else of a fairly minor nature new.
Oh yeah I remember it started out a small release with beta 1 but then kept getting new features interesting, let’s hope 16.4 allows us to remove home bar 😉

I'm just hoping we get new emojis. That is always something fun to look forward to. 🙃
At some point, we are going to be overloaded with emojis.
What I would like to see is for Apple to include the SF Icon set in the emoji section. We can get at these now in various ways, but it's not easy.
Would be nice if you could turn off certain emojis or themes to make them more manageable.
I could easily pick a top 20-30 and leave it at that. Even the ”recent emoji” section doesn’t seem to be that accurate… for me.
I get emoji overload sometimes just looking for one. lol
