iOS 16 Speculation Thread

It’s very interesting how each update differs for each user. For me, iOS 16.3 is so much better than 16.2! I’m getting better battery life and don’t run into bugs that often.
I just want good battery life on my 14PM. I only get 6-7 hours SOT.
Except for the fact that webservers have been reporting hits from a 16.3.1 for well over a week now.

Maybe this report is true. We might be experiencing it today.

Agreed! I was getting solid 9-10 hours back in September on iPhone 14 PM. Now I can barely hit 5-6 hours.
16.4 beta 1 not being out is extremely sketchy though.

I have no doubt that this may be part of it. But if I am correct and that this is some sort of zero day problem, they’d pull resources off of the headset to get this fixed. iOS and iphone are the heart of the company and produce most of its revenue. They will want that fixed pronto.

But completely explainable if the priority is to get 16.3.1 out to patch something.
My guess is 16.3.1 for HomePod / AppleTV was zero day patch for HomeKit issues?
Same here, 6 hours from 100% to zero fir me yesterday, when I first got the phone I was almost getting 2 days out of a charge.
possibly. But remember that they are essentially all derivatives of iOS. Perhaps they don’t have the dependencies in them that the larger OSes do and passed Quality Control faster. Given the need to patch everything urgently, Apple might have just said “ship as soon as its ready and don’t wait for the others”.
Of course, I could be completely wrong and they’re just yanking our chain!
Only way I fixed it was to revert back to my 13 pro max 😂98% battery health and I still get 10+ hours of SOT even on 16.3. Seems like the A16 and new display engine for the dynamic island is more powerful hungry than previous phones. Also noticed my battery health on the 14 pro max dropped to 98 in 3 weeks while I’m coming up to a year on my 13 pro max and it’s at 98% after 150 charge Cycles. Something is fishy regardless

And with Jim gone who knows what will happen? Maybe the delays are because Apple is just gonna put Android 13 on the iPhone?
Me too. The only reason, why I am on iOS 16 is my AirPods Pro 2, that require it for full compatibility.
They are fake they say this every day, I called them out many times
Low following Apple News twitter feed. I follow and to be fair they have been correct in the past a few times….
The sooner everyone ignores these obvious clickbait sites the better off you will be.
Apple is probably the richest company in the world, I don't think it needs to remove resources from iOS or MacOS, because at least iOS isn't doing very well to afford these luxuries. He should have hired more people, not remove resources from areas that support the company for something that is not known how it will work. They are starting to walk down the road of Facebook.Maybe this report is true. We might be experiencing it today.
