A few instances where unlocking my 16 Pro and swiping up there’s a delay in the apps appearing on the Home Screen. With a few other stutters here and there.

Sorry guys, I have to ask again as I've looked all the settings and cannot find away to get rid of the tick and search bar above the keypad in the picture below. And surely I can't be the only one who's getting it, can I?
It's supper annoying as once you've typed a certain amount of text, the bottom lines are hidden by the bar and tick and you can't see what you've typed.
I removed SwiftKey as someone suggested this bar might be part of it, but that hasn't helped at all.
Any help massively welcome.

It’s about to go public in two weeks, what on earth are you talking about? These are the most glaring visual inconsistencies that should’ve never made it this far. QA of Android has been much better these days.
Stop making excuses for incompetence.
Do you also get sometimes just the icon names before the icons appear?
Did that yesterday and it resolved none of my issues.
Always OTA and never got any problems - only battery life is not that great
Clearly someone missed the point of my comment… Regardless, Apple certainly is incompetent & as someone who’s been on iOS since iOS 4, I find myself in a unique position to tell you that they they always have been. All I’m saying that It’s only somewhat better recently.
And you’ve missed my point. We’re used to Apple taking a year to optimize the released iOS and with UI overhaul the inconsistencies in different parts of iOS can be excused but glitchy text box when trying to text somebody should’ve been dealt with weeks ago.
You were talking about iOS 7 days when it was abysmal but even then it was the performance that needed work and UI elements were mostly consistent (not best) across the board. We didn’t have dark icons in one settings page and light icons in the other thanks to Jony Ive. I’ve ran betas for every iOS since iOS 7 so you’re not in a unique position.
Telling people to take it easy just cause it could’ve been worse isn’t something anyone likes to hear for something so obvious. Bugs are expected but most glaring ones that are easy to fix should’ve been prioritized and resolved sooner.
I’m with the iPhone since day one. I agree with you, my friend. There were worse days…
True however that is no excuse for this current mess. Yes, I complained about 7 and it took a few upgrades to fix most of it. Never expected to see this debacle again - figured Apple had learned a lesson. Guess not.
No such thing as a GM release and hasn’t been for a couple years. It’s “RC” for release candidate.
There is still a fundamental difference in the underlying mechanism for updating iOS using an IPSW file via Finder (or iTunes) compared to updating Over The Air (OTA). The IPSW method with Finder downloads and installs the full firmware image, effectively replacing core system files, whereas OTA applies incremental patches to update only the necessary components of the existing system. Both methods result in the updated operating system, but the pathway and scope of changed files differ. With IPSW installation, it can be thought of as a more complete, “fresh” installation, reducing the chance that device-level corruption or fragmentation of system files persists after the update. You can do whatever you want, but I honestly believe this is why I just don't see a lot of the same bugs folks do even when running the same beta release on the same hardware as I am. It's carryover cruft.
The fact that the iPad floating keyboard is still not working consistently for 3rd party apps in beta 9 is incomprehensible to me.
All this mess shown in these comments for some glossy animations are not worth it if you can’t keep the rest of the OS working (this said the keyboard issue is probably due to iPad multitasking - it’s not an issue if full screen apps only are enabled).
They should have removed the “swipe up” line and called it a day - my favorite iPad 26 change.

It will start working after the new updates for those third party apps are online !
Don’t expect that to function now in the beta - as many already said, third party apps aren’t allowed to be up to date, that’s why we see such a mess for the keyboard right now in many third party apps
Why can’t 3rd party apps update as they’ll need to consider version even after the official release?
@Artemiz
A few of us here had a discussion (email) with Craig F. a while back on that very subject. He (Craig F) stuck to his guns and claimed they were the same. For those of us testing, we found each method of updating can trigger unique / same bugs however we had fewer issues with ipsw.
Take it for what it is worth.
Because they need the newest XCode version as I understood it, and that’s not gonna happen until official release ?!
What ever reason there is, it’s not gonna happen until official release, that the mess with the keyboard stops, and maybe even longer because not everyone has their app updated immediately
Also, if you launch an app, you can see the dock quickly turn glassy. There’s no real reason it couldn’t have the glassy effect always
I’d seen the debate play out time and again and usually it’s about how one can lead to fewer bugs which I don’t have any evidence for or against. What’s new and doesn’t make sense to me is the battery life being better with ipsw compared to OTA.
I’ve tried to test the theory in the past by updating multiple times via ipsw over a week and that led to an unstable config with new bugs which was interesting. Since then I only try ipsw if there’s an annoying bug not experienced by others.
I use a number of apps that won’t receive updates (have been abandoned for a while). These kinds of compatibility breaks requiring yearly churn from devs is one thing I don’t like about Apple’s ecosystem.
