iOS 16.3 Is Out
- bluetidepro 4y agoHere are the new features in iOS 16.3: - New Unity wallpaper honors Black history and culture in celebration of Black History Month - Security Keys for Apple ID allow users to strengthen the security of their account by requiring a physical security key as part of the two factor authentication sign in process on new devices - Support for HomePod (2nd generation) - Emergency SOS calls now require holding the side button with the up or down volume button and then releasing in order to prevent inadvertent emergency calls The update also includes some bug fixes and improvements for iPhone users: - Fixes an issue in Freeform where some drawing strokes created with Apple Pencil or your finger may not appear on shared boards - Addresses an issue where the wallpaper may appear black on the Lock Screen - Fixes an issue where horizontal lines may temporarily appear while waking up iPhone 14 Pro Max - Fixes an issue where the Home Lock Screen widget does not accurately display Home app status - Addresses an issue where Siri may not respond properly to music requests - Resolves issues where Siri requests in CarPlay may not be understood correctly
- bena 4y agoI've seen the Freeform issue. Someone was trying to share a board with me and it was pretty much garbage. It looked like parts of strokes were missing or misplaced. He eventually exported it to PDF and sent that to me, but yeah, you could do that with any drawing app.
- bangonkeyboard 4y agoSomething I've wondered when writing my own changelogs: What determines whether an issue is categorized as "fixed," "addressed," or "resolved"?
- labria 4y agoI'm pretty sure all of them mean the exact same thing, they just alternate for the notes to be less repetitive.
- culturestate 4y ago> What determines whether an issue is categorized as "fixed," "addressed," or "resolved"? I mostly use them interchangeably and just pick whichever one feels better in that particular sentence at that particular part of the changelog. The only real exception is when I've fixed one specific expression of a problem but I think there are probably still edge cases where it might pop up again. I deliberately mark those as "addressed" for my own sanity.
- savoytruffle 4y agoIn recent years the terminology on Apple update notes is very inconsistent so I wouldn't read much into it except that nobody is paying much attention to it.
- layer8 4y agoYou use “addressed” when you’re not entirely sure that it’s completely fixed. You use “resolved” when you removed the feature instead of fixing it. ;)
- memco 4y agoThese days I gravitate towards “improved” or “enhanced” handling or support for something to avoid unbounded certainty about the issue.
- wrldos 4y agoI only ever write it as defect / feature prefixed. I never write the resolution as I am fallible!
- koen_hendriks 4y agoIt's why I prefer to use a standard like https://keepachangelog.com https://keepachangelog.com
- lazzlazzlazz 4y agoVery similar but subtly different in my mind. - Fixed: something was broken, and it has been repaired. - Addressed: there was an issue, and we've responded to it maybe with a workaround, improving docs, maybe by saying we won't fix it/it wasn't broken. - Resolved: something wasn't working, and now it works. Maybe there were fixes, and maybe there were workarounds. But it works now.
- dmonitor 4y agoFixing Siri issues (especially the CarPlay ones) is a godsend

- _Algernon_ 4y agoIn contrast, your comment could have been better expressed as just an upvote, as the comment does not contribute anything to the conversations. Yes, I am aware of the irony.
- treeman79 4y agoSiri activated in my car other day. “Sorry didn’t get that” it was muffled so wide asked what that was. Off hand I joked And said. “Oh car is going to blow up” Siri “working on that” Wife and kids give me a look. Siri “Sorry. Something went wrong” Wife now panicking “kids get out of car now!!” Kids totally busting up.

- drcongo 4y agoEmergency SOS calls now require holding the side button with the up or down volume button and then releasing in order to prevent inadvertent emergency calls Isn't that a screenshot?
- Kirby64 4y agoProbably the difference between a press and release and a hold.
- flandish 4y agoIt’s actually “hold your phone in a gripper dash mount” position. Sure a nominal place is not on a button but an accidental one sure will be. Toss your phone into the gripper mount in wrong way, start car, get out scrape ice and snow for five mins, and find your phone had dialed 911…
- thiht 4y ago> - New Unity wallpaper honors Black history and culture in celebration of Black History Month Weird to push this internationally when it's really just a US thing. When I read the official release notes of the update I found them a bit racist sounding, from my country's perspective.
- tunesmith 4y agowatchOS update as well, hopefully they have fixed the battery-draining bug. Prior to the most recent update, my watch would still have 50% battery at the end of a long day; now it drains after eight hours.
- sroussey 4y agoThis occasionally happens to me, and a restart fixes it for a long time.
- vuln 4y agoThe watch restarts with every update, right? It seems like my watch updates at minimum once every 1-2 months. How long is a long time; days, weeks?
- vuln 4y agoI hope so. My battery life is terrible and I can't get apple to do anything about it because "Battery health is above 80%". I've tried everything, turned off almost all notifications, turned off LTE when not needed, turned on every power saving thing I could and it still dies 5 hours earlier than it use to. I'm over it.
- pohl 4y agoI've found that a complete restart of the watch alleviates the symptoms for a while, so there must be some process that gets into a bad state.
- vuln 4y agoThe watch restarts with every update, right? It seems like my watch updates at minimum once every 1-2 months. How long is a while; days, weeks?
- pohl 4y agoYes, I'm referring to me manually restarting, not the ones that already happen when updates come out. I do it when I notice it's draining faster than it should for my normal day of use. It gives me relief for weeks — usually until the next update comes out.
- chrizel 4y agoAdvanced Data Protection now for the rest of the world. Any experience how well it works? I'm currently in the process of updating all my devices and activating it as soon as possible.
- kylehotchkiss 4y agoI've had no issues with it, but you're ultimately trusting Apple to delete the private key from their servers. The best way to verify it works is logging into icloud.com. It will show that you cannot access the tools there since advanced protection is enabled.
- radicaldreamer 4y agoThere is a setting to enable iCloud access on web by verifying on a trusted device. I think the way this works is by temporarily sending your decryption key up to Apple to allow the active session access to data.
- lost_tourist 4y agowhat incentive does apple have to keep it? If anyone finds out they're lying then their whole privacy schtick goes out the window.
- kylehotchkiss 4y agoMy worry is more being compelled to keep a key by government agencies.
- stjohnswarts 4y agoI believe if that happened apple would simply refuse to encrypt any longer and let customers know that's what is happening. The government can't force them to lie to the public. We're becoming a more autocratic nation but we're not quite that far along yet.

- j1elo 4y agoWill this arbitrarily break compatibility with some XCode version that ends up forcing me to buy a new Mac just to be able to build my code? (asking for a friend)
- akmarinov 4y agoNot if you have a Mac from the past decade
- jshier 4y agoThat only happens with major OS releases. Or the inverse, where the version of Xcode requires the next major version of macOS. We should see that in March with Xcode 14.3 or 14.4.
- j1elo 4y agoThat happened to me with a "minor" update of iOS, which upped the bar and required a new version of Xcode, but that version of Xcode required a newer version of MacOS, and that version of MacOS was not available for my MacBook. So quite a nice chain of requirements that ended up forcing a new computer purchase, for what essentially boils down to the purpose of compiling Swift source code. Absolutely no other of my technical or performance requirements were asking for a machine renewal.
- ddmma 4y agoWas expecting Siri to ChatGTP but instead is silently killing battery lifetime with every update until next iPhone version must buy.
- chewmieser 4y agoI just setup a Shortcut the other day for this (I based this off of the shortcut here: https://matemarschalko.medium.com/chatgpt-in-an-ios-shortcut-worlds-smartest-homekit-voice-assistant-9a33b780007a https://matemarschalko.medium.com/chatgpt-in-an-ios-shortcut... - just ripped out the smart home stuff from it). Gives some much needed intelligence to Siri! Just need to speak "Hey Siri, GPT (or name of shortcut)" and then your query.
- ddmma 4y agoNice work around, I guess Apple will have own chatGtp while was validated by the market
- diebeforei485 4y agoI usually update my iDevices as soon as the update is out, but this time around I'm going to let automatic updates do its thing. I'm curious to see how long it actually takes for updates to be automatically installed. I assume the vast majority of people aren't keeping track of the latest iOS news.
- italicize 4y agoSince iOS 16, the alarm of the Clock app is not working properly on my iPhone. It either won't sound at all, or won't sound again after a snooze. I can see in the alarm notification that the snooze 9-minute timer only starts counting down after I pick up the phone (turning on the screen). It's taking so long for this to be fixed that I'm starting to think that something is wrong with my device, not the OS.
- Ephil012 4y agoYou might want to do this iOS settings => Sounds and Haptics => Drag the Ringtone and Alert Volume slider up higher and turn off change with buttons The alarm clock volume on iOS is separate from your normal volume. So if it accidentally got lowered then your alarm clock will never make any sound. It can get accidentally lowered if you have change with buttons on so I turn that off. Turning off change with buttons just fixes your alarm and ringer volume, it won’t prevent you from changing your volume normally when listening to music
- lost_tourist 4y agothat should work, as I have no issue with alarms. Have you uninstalled the clock app and reinstalled?
- lwansbrough 4y agoI have the same issue.
- rumblerock 4y agoI've had alarm issues as well recently, and I think in my case it may have something to do with either (1) "Attention Aware Features" that will silence alarms if it thinks you're using / looking at the phone, or (2) wearing my watch and having it think that I was silencing alarms by covering or touching the screen. I turned off the attention aware features and also flipped off "Push Alerts from iPhone" for the Clock app on my watch. My distrust at this point is so bad that I just don't wear the watch to sleep even though I love the sleep tracking features. It's ridiculous that a bug with alarms is even a thing, and also something that's hard to troubleshoot when I'm half-awake.
- gruez 4y agoThere's also security updates for iOS 15/12 devices as well: iOS 15.7.3: iPhone 6s (all models), iPhone 7 (all models), iPhone SE (1st generation), iPad Air 2, iPad mini (4th generation), and iPod touch (7th generation) iOS 12.5.7: iPhone 5s, iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, iPad Air, iPad mini 2, iPad mini 3, and iPod touch (6th generation) https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201222 https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201222
- mig39 4y agoiPhone 5s still receiving updates. Almost 10 years old.
- test-robot 4y agoGroup FaceTime is really unstable in iOS 16. I hoped fixing that would have been a priority, I guess not.
