Has anyone experienced dynamic island and camera app swipe up lag?
A reboot will fix it but it shows up again after a few days.
Yup. Also, squared notifications all the time. Gotta love the software quality. They have no excuses anymore. It‘s not a 16.0 release.

Just a heads up for everyone thinking about updating to 16.4 b1. Don‘t 🤐 Lags still prominent on that version, but now you get a nice black screen when swiping out of apps

iOS 16 is the worst ios I have ever seen.
 
Im glad to not play this whack a mole game

16.1 has not been spectacular but rather serviceable on my 14PM and battery life has been stellar so staying put all around. Gonna wait it out for iOS 17 at this point before considering upgrading. And even then only after feedback, review of features, etc.

The roller coaster of quality control just isnt worth it from one point version to another, IMO, when things are as much of a crapshoot as they are.

16.1 was definitely superior to 16.0.x , that much I know.

Maybe I’m the rare one but on my 14PM battery life has been stunning, no stuttering, really have had no issues whatsoever that I can recall right now through the current 16.3.1. I’m sure I must have had some issue but nothing that pops up in my mind. This has been one of the smoothest ios releases in a long time. But on the latest phone that’s what I expect but hasn’t always been the case.

Ah, I just remembered the one issue that I have had - tapping the screen to wake the phone sometimes has a delayed response. I’ve seen that on my M2 iPad Pro as well. But that’s it. Extremely pleased overall.

I'm at about 200 hours uptime right now on 16.4 and I don't think I've seen a swipe home stutter yet. I say that because, maybe a handful of times, I thought there was a very subtle one but I wasn't looking for it at the time and it wasn't a big one.

Maybe 3 or 4 times I did see that stutter when I swipe from Home to the App Library (when it slides over from the right). A smaller one.

Some games still run atrociously bad.

I don't want to be too excited about the home stutter, because every time I get too excited it hits me. But I wanted to update ya'll. As always, I will post here when I see one for sure.

Same boat - 14PM on 16.1 here, too. Mail crashes on open 2-5 times out of 10, and periodically my dynamic island thinks I'm tapping it repeatedly based on the haptic feedback clicks/top of page scrolling, but I have awesome battery life so I don't wanna play BS roulette.

For sure. To be fair the email thing is only a few weeks old. Might reset all settings and start as new at some point unless 16.4 turns out to be amazing. Managed to keep my 12PM on its shipping day 14.2 the whole time I owned it and I mayyy lean toward a similar thing for the 14PM but I’ll keep an eye on the reports here of 16.x to see.
 
I have to say I'm cautiously optimistic about 16.4. I had beta 2 running for a little over 3 days until it decided to install a test security update and reboot. I did not see any swipe home stutters that whole time. Typically I could get about 15-20 hours tops after an update before it would start stuttering again. Also, the squared notifications are almost completely fixed. That used to happen many times a day. I've only seen it once in the 4 days I've been running beta 2. So while not completely fixed, it's vastly improved.

I still haven’t had one either.

But I’m trying to temper my excitement.

I also installed the 16.4 beta following the comments by @antiga and I haven't had any swipe home stutters for more than one week on my regular 13. This is the longest stutter-free since 16.0, so I'm also optimistic.

Have you ever had only a swipe up lag? Maybe you experienced more stutters: on Safari (open new/switching between tabs), jumping to widgets/App Library screen, swiping on recent open apps, switching pics on Photos, laggy scrolling on Weather and in some other apps.

Mine have buggy animations on regular iPhone 12 in this cases. Maybe 16.4 beta will fix all of this or only swipe up.

I have also seen some buggy animations, even on 16.4 beta, although it seems better than previous 16 versions. The stutters when I swipe up to see the open tabs in Safari are still present, which are the most annoying for me.
 
I just noticed that I am unable to edit a contact on 16.4b2. The contacts app crashes within a few seconds of displaying a contact's details. Anyone else?

No issues here. But I'm on the rapid update from today if that means anything.
 
Has anyone experienced this? The iPhone reboots every night

Yes, the last time was 3 days ago. I checked the log and the reason for the re-spring was: 'User reclaimable memory dropped below the limit.' Facebook being the largest process, so I guess Facebook has RAM issues?
That being said, I'm on 16.3.1 (14 Pro), and since 16.2, I have no lag issues.

My lag issue is still there (16.4 beta 3)
Is there any solution to fix the reboot issue? This issue started from iOS16.0
