Yeh, iOS 15.7 actually appears first, but "Also available -> iOS 16" shows up at the bottom.

I downloaded 15.7 before I noticed that it was the wrong thing. :argh:

Yeah terrible UX decision, why are they implicitly recommending users download 15.7 first? Dumb waste of time for millions of people at scale lol.

Anyways 16 is pending for me now. Do other users need to be on 16 for iMessage deletes to work?

iOS16 is required on all endpoints.

AT&T people - when you upload your ID to prove you're an actual person who wants a new phone, does it always take forever for them to update the order status page saying they'll cancel your order unless you comply within 24 hours? I did it on Friday minutes after I got the email/text, and it's still saying it today. If I click the link again it says it's already been done, is it too much work for them to update the page to say it's been received and just waiting to be validated? Hell the order doesn't even appear on my existing AT&T account for my fiber.

Can't agree to the new app store terms and conditions so no updating apps for now I guess. It just gives a non-specific error.

- Cool new Lock Screen
- Doggos can be cut from photos automatically
- iMessages continue beating Google in features which makes them sad and angry

Same server as the os download services so it's getting slammed. Wait a few hours.

Apparently notifications will now appear at the bottom of the screen instead of the top when you’re at the lock screen. Imo they really should have a ton more stuff controllable from the bottom of the screen. It’s a pain to swipe down for the control center and other things like it. If every UI element was at the bottom of the screen you could actually use the phone with just one hand.

I think this was what was displayed in 4pt font during the update on my phone.

It's really nice, and the photo object cutting thing is kind of unbelievable. And having my lock screen be a basic version of the weather app (with a dynamic background!) is awesome.

Do note that copy and pasting cats is inferior to doggos and it’s a shame they added the ability to cut and paste cats.

I guess it was naive of me to think this would be paired with Maps supporting cycling directions in more cities beyond a relatively short list. I’m not sure why that seems to be moving at a glacial pace.

You can't paste into photos, just out of photos. I tried it and it's wild! Works very well. Edge detection isn't gonna be perfect but it's a LOT faster than any other software right now.

The autocutout stuff is wild, although it does seem to lose the transparency when copying and pasting into a different app.

Most map providers I know of don't discriminate on road types beyond standard or off-road so cycling roads are usually a manual recon job. It's going to take time.

preface all my posts with this
There's a new default video player with iOS 16 that puts the playback controls in the middle of the screen like youtube and gets rid of the little grabber icon on the playback and volume sliders. I don't love the change but it's more than made up for with the new gesture-based playback controls, which allows you to just swipe back and forth anywhere on the screen in order to go backwards and forwards. It rocks.

Apple Maps outside of America is horrid, including in major cities like Venezia. I wouldn’t trust Apple Maps at all and it’s a shame that google maps doesn’t have solid integration with the Apple Watch. :smith:

iPadOS and macOS have been delayed TBA. I think this has been the case for a couple years now.

I dislike these gesture-based controls because it makes it significantly harder to just grab the iDevice and reposition it if you're shifting in bed or something without messing with your playback.

It's a setting in sound and haptics under keyboard feedback.
