It’s enough to force users to upgrade their iPhones to iOS 16 without much thought. In this regard, it can be clearly seen that the adoption rate of iOS 16 in the days following the release of the update is one of the best historically for a new iPhone OS.

But if all this leaves a sweet smell of success for Apple, it actually seems to be the case Near Berezina, for some users anyway. Indeed, according to feedback from our American and French colleagues and on social networks, many basic errors that occur after the iOS 16 update appear quite often. Additionally, autonomy will take a hit from iOS 15 to iOS 16.

Other glitches that appeared with iOS 16 seem to have already been fixed with iOS 16.0.2, as seen there, including a bug that caused a jitter effect on photos taken with the iPhone 14 Pro or even allowing copy/paste too high an aspect ratio. desire For this last issue, iOS 16.1, expected for October, should improve the situation.

iOS 16 and reduced autonomy, what about?

From my personal experience, it is clear that there is iOS 16 It clearly affected the autonomy of the iPhone XS. If before iOS 16 I could run a day from 8am to 6pm on a single charge, with iOS 16 I have to charge the car in the afternoon. However, the condition of the battery does not seem worse than a month ago: it is still around 82-83% of maximum capacity (see Settings > Battery > Battery status and charging). Also, between iOS 15 and iOS 16, my iPhone usage hasn’t really changed enough to reduce battery life that much…

And it is the same observation that various users of iOS 16 reported in the comments of specialized American sites, in various technological forums or even on Reddit and Twitter. Also on iPhone.fra few of you readers have mentioned that you’ve lost autonomy since iOS 16.
