I noticed that yesterday on my 13P. Really annoying.
What. I thought Clear Icons was all auto-generated? Many of my apps haven’t received updated for months but still has a clear icon in folder?
this looks like its true tone... not brightness. turn off true tone and see if it fixes it.
It depends on the icon. If it’s a simple two colored icon iOS will do it automatically. But if it has a gradient for example or is a complex icon then the dev needs to update it.
without true tone it's also happened. It's normal? i'm really worrying about it. It's look like Display changes after HDR
who can try it? iph 16pm ios 26.1 beta 4 hellpp thankss
look at the botton of the screen there it's better visible. After hdr or stories or reels it's also happend/ It's normal? the second video after stories in inst
i'm really worrying i saw it by chance

Let’s examine the other elephant in the room here which is…wait, you have an iPhone Air???!
This is effectively going to be beta software for quite some time. God only knows when they actually began development on this.
Are you for real? I am not a relatively new user. I have owned iPhones since the first iPhone, and I have also always been a beta user, I develop little apps, I am a system administrator and I have managed datacenters and large networks among other things. I'd say "relatively new user" doesn't quite describe it.
I know very well OTA updates "only" became a thing from iOS 5 onward (which was what, 14 years ago?). But "Apple Devices" for Windows only exist since 2023 IIRC. And even if Apple officially supports it, you can't really rely on Windows as an OS to have things working properly. Too many variables (antiviruses, buggy firewall apps, this and that), and the results can be seen, with almost-bricked devices (in the end, they can always be recovered, but you get the gist).
Also, the thing that wired IPSW installation method is supposedly better has been debunked numerous times. Many users love it and that's fine, but it has never been proven to be better in any way. To each their own, I guess. But if you really wanna do wired, use macOS at least.
All that said, it's way easier for Apple to get OTA working right, as that's the same for all users (and definitely not niche, as 99% of users use that method). While wired IPSW upgrades happen using PCs/Mac that are not 100% under Apple's control and unforeseen things can happen. So I'd say it's arguably a "riskier" procedure (we could run 1000 OTA upgrades and 1000 IPSW upgrades side by side, I'm sure the IPSW failure rate would be way higher).

Unless you can back it up with actual evidence, it’s just your opinion.
If ipsw updates are really better, why do you think @MrRom92 keeps having so many issues with each version? He doesn’t do OTA either. IPSW way is the one that ended up bricking his phone in the end too.
It appears to be an Apple Devices issue rather than an IPSW issue. There were almost 20 years of regularly functional IPSW updates before Apple Devices replaced iTunes. They can’t seem to get this critical piece of software right. The current state of things could only ever happen under Tim Cook. Apple Devices was entirely nonfunctional for a very long time, but it seemed to properly work briefly at the official start of the iOS 26 release cycle. This was only a month ago! But now it is back to basically being undisclosed malware.
The IPSW worked fine with 3Utools which saved my phone and rescued me from the mess Apple’s own software created.
Well, yes, I actually am going to blame Apple Devices as that is the problem in this equation.
I am willing to give it up, I’m not married to the program but there needs to be an alternative. There is, it’s called 3Utools. It would be nice if Apple’s own official software wasn’t broken to the point that it could brick your iPhone though. Again, an issue that could only ever happen in the Cook era.
OTA is undoubtedly a simpler way to update. However, as it is a smaller (delta) file, compared to the IPSW, it does not overwrite the entire system, so the problematic files can be left intact. So while running betas, I frequently go IPSW route.
No one’s asking you to stop blaming Apple bud. We blame Apple for their crappy iOS bugs all day every day.
We’re just asking you to use an alternative so you can have an issue-free phone and maybe rejoice in the future when Apple manages to actually get the AD software working.
You can start fresh with a better experience and still blame Apple. You don’t need to be miserable to do that. Join in with the rest of us in the happy camper club.
Running pretty good on my 17PM. Feels like iOS again, finally.
