Sure, but it's not like this is in any way unprecedented or even that unusual in software. It happens to all companies that deal with complex operating systems that are crammed with thousands of interdependencies. It will inevitably happen from time to time.
I have never understood people who install Beta's on their main device and then freak out when something doesn't work right. It's baffling!
Finding these types of bugs before a widespread public reason is literally the purpose of beta testing. Everyone installing a beta knows there’s things that go wrong.
....and the fact that this particular issue is related to dual-GPS devices only makes it even more likely to have something occur. Gajillion lines of code affecting thousands of apps that use this feature. It will be fixed and my guess is fixed sooner rather than later. Despite being a beta, Apple won't wait the typical release cycle for something as important as this....16.1.1 incoming in days.
You can do a DFU restore to downgrade the OS, but you’ll lose your data.
I think with beta versions, bugs are expected. Because beta means still in development and Apple expect there are bugs so they release beta versions so users or other devs can help identify the bugs faster. This means when you use beta versions, you should find bugs and report to Apple.
Dont know why people want beta versions to be bug free. Its called beta because people expect it still has bugs =))
its Apple. Software quality control has been terrible for a while now.
Are you kidding me? Their testers absolutely will.
I use all of their product lines and seldom experience issues beyond an occasional minor annoyance.
iOS16 general release wasn’t a beta? and needed a day one update for the Pro/Max
Sure, but this article is about a bug in the 16.1 beta.
Just go for 16.1 Beta 2.
Noting to apologize for. The thing about an early beta is, not every primary function is fully implemented yet. This is very early look at new code. As the beta gets closer to a release candidate, everything will be implemented and there will be fewer things broken. If your app needs GPS functions, test them for the moment on 16.0. You can test the UI features on 16.1. You can also test 16.1 GPS on non 14 Pro models. Don't worry, 16.1 beta 2 will be out in days.
That's fair, and an issue I wouldn't really know about. My devices rarely make it to be more than a few years old (while they're still in my possession). I do hear that complaint a lot, though.
Right, I don’t get the fascination with people using betas on their primary devices. Personally, I’d rather use a more stable OS from September to September…rather than potentially buggy betas from June to June. I’m still using the OS for a year just like the beta users, but just delayed and with a better experience.
