Mixed feedback online is making me hesitant. Sounds like a lot of bugs persist in RC. Might give it a week or two.

I'm literally still on iOS 15.7 because I've heard lots of reports of battery draining in 16.

I've heard lots of reports of battery draining in 16.

With every single update there are always reports of battery drain. With any operating system there are often clean-up, maintenance and other tasks that have to happen after an update that can take a little bit of time and can impact battery.

I can safely say that I have not personally noticed any additional battery drain. Update away...

I've just updated to 16.1 and can confirm that Wi-Fi Calling works on Skinny (although you have to manually enable it).

It seems iPadOS 16.1 is also now available. However what I can't understand is why my iPad, which is on 15.7, shows "Your iPad software is up to date" - but then says "Also available, 16.1". I don't recall seeing that message before.

It's because 16 is an opt-in update. It'll become the 'primary' update in due course (I think Apple wants to ensure there are no unexpected showstopper bugs before pushing it out by default).

The update from 14 to 15 was the same from memory (not sure if they implemented it earlier), gave the option to stay on the previous version and install all the .x updates, or jump to 15.

Took the update, and enabled wifi calling. Under "Settings/Mobile" it has now selected "Spark NZ Wifi Calling" as the Network Selection.

I expected to see some sort of status bar indication on calls that it was using wifi calling but nothing looks different - should it?

The status bar on mine now says "Skinny WiFi Calling".

Mine says that too (Spark) on the network banner. I was expecting based on older comments in another thread that there would be a notation in the top right where the wifi and 4g/5g icons reside, to show wifi calling.

Question Guys I had Wi-Fi calling enabled for Spark since iOS16 came out, never checked before that but it was already available with the earlier release. From reading the thread it sounded like a new feature FYI I have an iPhone 13 Pro Max.

Interesting thing received a call the other day and received a certificate approval box (work WiFi update) so it to me meant it was using wi-Fi for the call.

If I'm not mistaken, the option was there in 16.0 but didn't work. The certificate prompt may have just been a coincidence.

Does the "Pay TV Provider" menu option in the Settings app work for anyone? I'm not sure what it's supposed to do, but it just gives "An error occurred while attempting to load details" on my phone.

I think it's only for US/UK/AUS people at the moment

Found one bug, it breaks the next alarm widget on Lock Screen. If have a recurring alarm the widget shows off after alarm has gone off instead of next one.

Have to go into alarms, slide go off and then back on for it to show next alarm again. Have tried deleting alarms and setting back up, didn’t fix it for me.
