Updated my iPhone 13 to iOS16. Being playing with the new capabilities for the Lock Screen. I feel it is not as Apple friendly. Especially adding, say, the Weather Widget to the Lock Screen. The current weather now becomes your Lock Screen background. I really do not want that. I still want my usual background and Date/Time BUT with just the weather widget.

Still yet to look into all the other changes - on going I suppose.

NOTE: my iPad 6gen iOS 16 has yet to be released.

Whilst the difficult we can do immediately, the impossible takes a bit longer. However, miracles you will have to wait for.

FineWine: my iPad 6gen iOS 16 has yet to be released.

iPads run iPadOS, not iOS. The next version of iPadOS is apparently due in October.

My Lock Screen is configured like this.

The updated Health app is much better especially the medication part

Really liking the release had it installed before work yesterday. There are a ton of YouTube videos that take you through the features. Love the Lock screen using the Earth view that uses GPS to geolocate the map you see then when you swipe to the home screen you see the map swoop in on NZ. Same 'FineWine' I take medication really good feature to remind you what to take and when. I also have a the battery percentage showing and its a small thing but useful.

Just a lot of little things re looking at the YouTube videos they are over an hour long :)

Are there any changes to dual SIM use in iOS 16? For example, can you now set different ring tones for each SIM?

That's been in the wings for a while - apparently with some features for the new iPhones, which will have a forced update very quickly to enable some features as advertised (not sure which).

I've been on the public betas for both iOS16 and iPad OS 16 (as well as Watch OS9).

Pretty stable, but without some of the intuitive polish of Apple of old.

Just used CarPlay in my Kia Sportage EX (2019) since this update.

They have definitely tweaked the sound. With better vocals and surround, it is now a 'richer & fuller' sound.

There is very little discernible difference now between BlueTooth and cable connection.

I’ve found it pretty good. It might be placebo effect but it seems snappier than iOS 15.

nztim: Happy to have my battery percentage back!

What does this actually mean? You're not the first person I've seen talking about battery percentage in iOS 16, but you can see it in 15 too so I'm confused.

or https://support.apple.com/en-sg/guide/iphone/iph4747a74a9/ios

I also have the battery percentage as a 'stack' widget with the time clock. I had this prior to this latest update with percentage now in status bar so leave it there as well.

Nope Using 13 Pro Max, but did read that people who were going thought the beta program and updating multiple releases has issues. The fix was backing up then resetting the phone, problems went away.
