iOS 16 Features by Model

Is this while using the phone on low power mode?

I average around 4-5 hours SOT before it gets to 20% - No power savings

Yes I generally use low power mode as the battery is aging even when I was on iOS15 but definitely noticed it’s better for me on lower power mode on iOS 16 vs 15

15 I used to get 7-8hrs
 
I’m not sure how this all works - is there about a month left until the new iOS comes out?

Is it every year that we have a major update ?
Is every device eligible for every update?

Every year a new iOS version comes out in September.
Normally devices in the last 5/6 years will all get the update but older devices might lose out on newer functionality they might not support.

But you'll never have a situation where Apple say (for example) 'oh this Apple TV is great and there's not much to add ... so we'll skip 16' and end up with your devices on different versions ? Everything goes to 16 ? Though watchOS is 8, I think - so that'll go to 9 at the same time ?

Don't have a Apple TV so can't advise there but the watches get 3-4 years of updates also.

Which devices will get the update is announced in WWDC in June

They have different names because they’re considered different operating systems, so no the updates don’t happen for every device all on the same day. They do all stick to one major update a year though, afaik.

Some are linked via versioning: iPadOS and iOS, they are both going to 16. (I think tvOS as well but I don't have Apple TV)

macOS = 13
iPad/iOS/tvOS = 16
watchOS = 9

But as @Nike7 said, they are different systems.

Typically all supported iPhones and iPads will go up to the same version number E.g. 16 this year, all on the same day.
All supported Watches go to 9
All supported MacBooks go to the new version (I believe it’s Ventura).
Etc etc…
The updates typically come the same day or the same week, but all supported devices get it the same day.

There is the odd time where Apple will do an update that goes to a certain iPhone model, if I’m not mistaken in iOS 15 they did an update for the 13 models like 15.0.1 or something but then soon after that all models catchup at iOS 15.1, there is the once in a while where they need to tackle a bug on a specific model or add some functionality etc…where one model may go ahead momentarily.
 
Bug: when playing YouTube Music, the MediaRemoteUI (as it’s being called on the Lock Screen ) is duplicated. There are two. :cautious:
 
  • Wow
Reactions: Yuu
I've noticed since installing the latest public beta that Siri is no longer able to identify songs, bombs out with a wierd error message....

Other than that the latest beta seems pretty good.
 
I'm on the beta now - my favourite feature by far is the object detection / copy. Also works between devices :thumbsup:

Battery life seems better than iOS 15 on the 13 mini for some reason.
 
It seems that Always On in iOS 16 is limited to iPhone 14 Pro models only and previous generation won't get them, due to only 10hz refresh rate screens vs the iPhone 14 Pro at 1hz.

At least. that's the rumour
 
iOS 16 dev beta 7 dropped for iPhone this evening.

Bizarrely the iPad got iPadOS 16.1 beta 1 instead.

Public beta didn't happen, so likely tomorrow.
