Some iOS 16 Users Continue to Face Unaddressed Bugs and Battery Drain Two Weeks After Launch

You have no knowledge of how Apple developers have been working and if working from home as some may have been doing has impeded bug fixing.
I'm seeing a little more battery drain on my XR - however it's way faster and smoother than it ever was on 15.
Perhaps Apple is spinning up the faster processor cores more often to achieve this - which would explain the extra battery drain, if so.
Whatever the case, losing a little more battery life for the same level of performance that I last saw on it on 14 and 14 seems a reasonable compromise for a 4 year old phone. So count me happy in this regard.
If I have one criticism, it's that lockscreen editing seems less well thought out than it initially seemed from the WWDC demo.
At sundown (ditto sunrise), not being able to trigger another darker lockscreen image or to put a dark filter on, seems to be regressive compared to how things worked from 13-15.

Apple has never produced sloppy software. There's the occasional glitch affecting a small percentage of users, but nothing beyond that.
He must be an old boss working for IBM or Xerox or something.
My 14 pro drains more or less 15% overnight while on standby. This is with the always on display off.
i check the battery app and all it says is Find My app.

That happens to me maybe 3 times a week. I am not sure what the source is and makes me double guess if my headphones are not functioning. I am also not aware of a fix, it just goes back to working when it wants to.
Come on, you all expect way to much from a indy start up company with $2500 billion
Please add to the list, excessive System Data. 50gb is not necessary or acceptable.
This might actually make sense since some people are having issues slow and/or non-function spotlight search. Maybe the problems are linked. I'll try disabling this. Thank you!
battery drain is the worse its ever been, Apple need to fix this mess ASAP
Yeah we are having these problems because Apple put themselves on a schedule they can’t meet and that no one actually asked them to do.
At this point their secrecy is hurting them I think because they need to separate the OS from the hardware a little more. No reason to sync OS releases 1-1 with hardware releases. Keep the hardware exclusive features for point releases and just release the major OS updates when they’re ready.
Two freezes/restarts on home screen and sometimes bugs in whatsapp: camera not working or layout problems.
14/16 has one of the buggier launches in the past few years. Hopefully the extra month will make iPadOS and ventura more reliable.
My wife got 14pro. First week battery was dead by 5pm every day. She kept telling me she was in meetings all day and didn’t use her phone. I kept saying BS, because the battery app was showing lots of Facebook activity 😂. We turned off background refresh for Facebook and problem fixed, she went from wanting her XR back to loving the 14. May not be a the fix for everyone and maybe it’s and Apple issue or possible Facebook issue. But needs to be fixed
Mostly it has been fine for me with the exception of two things, one of which is a major problem and the other a minor annoyance:
- Battery life on my 13 Pro Max is absolutely horrible. On iOS 15 it was utterly amazing, but now on a busy day I need to charge it in the evenings. If I'm travelling, this is really problematic. In a year on iOS 15, I'd never used a power bank once. On iOS 16, quite often.
- Swiping to the camera on the Home Screen works about 40% of the time. Otherwise the phone seems to think I want to swipe up through my notifications. This happens even if I swipe above the notifications. They move slightly, the camera doesn't open.
My issue as well and I don't even have FB. I work in a sensitive environment where I can't have my phone out at all and I hate to see when I come off from work that my phone dropped 20% for no reason.
I can confirm my 98% battery health iPhone12 Pro Max has some serious drain after iOS16. Off charger at 8am-sh and it barely makes it to 7pm with only texting, and a couple of hours of web/socials.
Very interesting. I had 16 on my 13 ProMax a week before my 14 ProMax came. Neither has had any battery drain issues in my own experience obviously others are having varied experiences. I just looked now and my background refresh for Facebook is off, probably always has been ;-). So your suggestion should be tried by folks may fix this issue for some.
