Probably because it’s intentional. The clock stays how you have it customized, but the date does not as that’s not something with customizable fonts.

It looks terrible 😬

Has the number pad always “jiggled” when swiping up to unlock without FaceID?

I mean, you can always adjust your clock’s font:

Liquid glass still feels “glossy” 🥲

I do wish they would give the Liquid Glass makeover to lock screen widgets. It’s weird with them just being a plain, flat font/icons, right next to the Liquid Glass action buttons.

Any noticeable changes so far?

I know it is early still, but doesn't seem to be dropping the frames in the OS like it was on beta 4 (16 pro).

Could anyone post screenshots from Music...the Now Playing and Album overview. Would be much appreciated.

The only noticeable change I’ve noticed so far is that when the Dark Mode is enabled, notifications are darker, enhancing legibility.

It’s s lot smoother than B4 which felt like $100 android phone stuttery.

Shows new wizards pn launching various Apple apps.

They finally removed the obnoxious “Share Your Name and Photo” prompt at the top of the Messages app!

Not on my 15PM, it's still there if you pull down

Phone settings for Default Calling App is now FaceTime Audio and Cellular instead of FaceTime and Phone.

It’s definitely gone on my 16 Pro…

Still dealing with icon redraws when swiping homescreens. Sigh.

Telekom.de carrier profile updates to 65.0

Messages app still struggles with the bottom liquid glass setup when going from chat list to individual chat view (they don‘t seem to warp smoothly, producing artifacts). The header portion of a chat view also still has harsh blur pop-in and the name liquid glass tuple at the top is cut in half for a second.

The new animation when unlocking with a password is nice, the enter key is still incorrectly placed on larger iPads (12.9” + 13”) and in safari in dark mode the background behind the url bar is way too dark.

The tab bar at the bottom (in Music, at least), doesn't expand when scrolling up until you reach the top (or hit the bottom-left button.

The album art is also slow to populate in the 'Library' tab, but it's getting better minutes after installing.

Still have it on my 16PM
