Thanks for posting. New iPADs coming out next month. Time to trade mine in.

Every time Apple updates my phone it pulls the old Microsoft trick of turning things on that I want OFF, especially iCloud.

I am running off an old iPhone 7. Maybe I am through with updates. I wish my Linux Pine Phone was more useable than it is.

LOL - I tried to upgrade to iOS 16 but somehow accidentally managed to update to iOS 15.7 (the security update only). I should have paid closer attention to what I was doing. I bet there will be a number of others making the same mistake inadvertently.

> ...you can download the update on the iPhone 8 or newer...

Apparently it would be too much to ask of CNet to list those models. Because I have an "SE-2020" so where does that come in?

Here's what Wikipedia says are "8 or newer":

• iPhone 8 (2017–2020)
• iPhone 8 Plus (2017–2020)
• iPhone X (2017–2018)
• iPhone XS (2018–2019)
• iPhone XS Max (2018–2019)
• iPhone XR (2018–2021)
• iPhone 11 (2019–2022)
• iPhone 11 Pro (2019–2020)
• iPhone 11 Pro Max (2019–2020)
• iPhone SE (2nd) (2020–2022)
• iPhone 12 Mini (2020–2022)
• iPhone 12 Pro (2020–2021)
• iPhone 12 Pro Max (2020–2021)
• iPhone 13 Pro (2021–2022)
• iPhone 13 Pro Max (2021–2022)

and I confirmed that my "SE-2020" a.k.a. "SE (2nd)" thinks that iOS 16 is an available upgrade.

I updated my Homepod, my Mom’s iPad, my Macbook pro 2021, and I just updated my iphone 13 to 15.7(Weird how it had BOTH updates available) figured Id update to 15.7 BEFORE updating to 16

[higgmeister]

My wife has been interested in the new iPhone and found today that it has been marked down to almost half price, but you have to order a new line.   That means no upgrade at half price.   Then she looked at the individual reviews and saw people wishing they had kept their 8plus, which is what my wife has.   The new 16 owners said They kept hearing others telling them "you're breaking up, you're breaking up."   I said that sounds like Colonel Steve Austin.

Apple should release an iLand Line ... then I might be interested.

If they’d just get rid of dual factor authentication.

[MalPearce]

If they haven’t fixed the most retarded fails of previous updates, I’ll pass.

Urgent update notification on the lock screen? Unlocking dismisses the notification before I’ve had a chance to read it.

Biometric unlock? Please enter the passcode first. FFS. The biometric is more secure than the passcode, you cretins.

Banking app sends an app notification? Let’s kill the browser session when it loses focus as you read the code.

Outlook still doesn’t have the facility to use Exchange search folders like “Unread” and “Flagged” so if an unread message gets filled into a folder other than the inbox you’re screwed. Ten years ago, Outlook on Android had them enabled by default.

I need apps for the Middle East, Western Europe and Eastern Europe. Installing these apps on multiregional Android is effortless but on the iPhone each app only installs and updates if I switch the device to the right country.

I gave up on the iPhone and switched to Android, which has none of these ridiculous annoyances.

[smokingfrog]

Oh, boy! Can’t wait.

[for-q-clinton]

The changes to imessage sounds like they are trying to compete with telegram.

[livius]

That’s great. Some of these things are pretty modest but things I always wanted.

[Poser]

My iPhone 12 mini is a very good phone, but it is extreme overkill for those of us that use it as a phone, camera and bluetooth music broadcaster. I guess I’ll upgrade, but there probably is nothing I will use in the immediate future. I have Xfinity mobile and only pay $15.42 total for our two phones monthly and use far less than the provided 1 gig of cellular data. I think I was happiest when I had my Razor flip phone.

[Sicon]

Gee, I don’t know…. More “contact tracing” (unless you’re a homosexual having sex with 10-20 anonymous partners every weekend)? More FedGov surveillance? An app that listens and records your every fart as the threat to “muh environment” that it is, according to the “experts”?

[dfwgator]

First, in iOS 16 you'll be able to edit sent messages. So if you notice a typo after a message, you'll be able to edit the message after the fact. A tiny "edited" appears in the status under the message.

LOL, how many times over the years have I wished FR had this feature.

New iPhone has communist chips inside to spy on you.
