Yes, but with Apple's closed ecosystem, limited devices that rely on the iOS software, & 10 months into this 16 release, there should be Zero bugs. I mean having notifications still randomly lining up from the lock screen when you swipe up instead of a smooth presentation is not a good look for Apple. This and many other unresolved bugs at this point show the due diligence memo is not being read or has yet to be created.
Whoops! Sorry about that.
Well, one of the GPS fixes I had previously found was to outright reset app location preferences, so even after starting from scratch, I'm getting this issue.
As I mentioned, the phone's GPS stops working after some random time. Doing a blind search online to attempt to fix it myself had links that suggested resetting app privacy preferences (General -> Transfer/Reset -> Reset -> Location & Privacy) could potentially fix it (which of course did not fix this issue in this case). So the question you originally asked on whether those apps kept their Location preferences was moot because I had already reset it.
I do on my 8 Plus. I‘d say that overall performance and battery life is okay, but if you don’t necessarily need iOS 16 features, then stay on iOS 15
The only thing, is ChatGPT and an alarm clock app, both of them require iOS 16.1 as a minimum to work on the iPhone.
Well, sometimes there're some stutters and lags, but they don't bother me. Keep in mind that I use 8 Plus and you have standard 8 with less RAM, so your experience could be different.
Compared with iOS 15, I assume, right? Because on iOS 15 is not 100% smooth compared to iOS 14 but I guess, by what you’re saying, that performance is worse on iOS 16.6
When it comes to wifi, cellular, etc. - everything works perfectly.
I think you’re not the first having that issue. I’ve read it elsewhere.
even worse than that I'm receiving an unable to check for update message. I hope this is a known issue and not just my phone
Are you sure that it is related to iOS 17? I guess this bug has been there since iOS 16 and migrated to iOS 17, like a notification one.
My main device (iPhone 14 Pro Max) is currently on iOS 16.6 (20G75) which is the latest iOS 16.6. So, I'm not too sure why I'm encountering these bugs and glitches. I'm so tempted to download iOS 17 beta on my main device now. Roughly 1 month away till the official public release. 🤩
Cool. I do want to install already iOS 17 on my main device, however, I remember beta experience from the last year and prevent myself from doing that. Waiting at least for RC.
