iOS 16 is out

[ThePinkChameleon]

Per iMore, the displaying of the battery percentage “only works on certain models: iPhone 11 Pro Max, iPhone 12 Pro Max, iPhone 13, iPhone 13 Pro, and iPhone 13 Pro Max. The iPhone 13 mini and the non-Max models of older phones are apparently too small, or the notch is too large, for it to work.”

Interesting! I have the 12 Pro, not the Pro Max.

It works on my iPhone 12

More than likely, the author of the blog article put the iPhone 12 on the list by mistake.

Just installed it on my iPhone 12 Pro Max. So far so good I see the little changes here and there as I am still playing around with the phone and changing up my screen and wallpaper

I have the 11. I do not have the numeric battery indicator. (for me it's not something that is of any consequence).

Still getting use to this notifications center

 

[Wotchered]

I had that ! but because it is so small turned it off in
Battery setting, pretty pointless really, particularly because if you hold the battery ikon the enlarged version in the middle of the screen does not have the percentage in it ! have the XS.

Oh I love the new notifications on the lock screen & I adapted instantly !!

I have mine set to stack so my lock screen wall can be seen

According to this iMore article,  16.1 will be bringing the battery percentage to the screen of the phones that didn’t initially get to have that option !! So I’ll wait till GM 16.1 is available. I’ve never run an betas on any of my phones.

Question in regards to the way lock & Home Screen wallpapers get set on iOS 16.

I’m not going to lie, I find it extremely frustrating setting a Home Screen wallpaper without changing the Lock Screen. I like to use different walls for the lock and home.

I used to be able to go into my photo app, pick my wall and set it as Home Screen. With iOS 16 doing a simple task to keep my lock wall and my home wall different seems like a cluster f@Ck situation.

Is there another way to set a Home Screen wallpaper WITHOUT going into Settings/Wallpaper/Customize…? Am I missing something here

TIA for any help/explanation

Yes, I felt that frustration as well. But after playing with it a few days, I figured how to work it. At least my way. Lol I have my own little tricks. When you finish customizing your lock screen. Tap done in the upper right. Then click your side power button to turn it off. Then click it again to turn back on. Your home screen should still be there.

Yes, I’ve been doing that for when I set my Lock Screen.

But seriously, there’s got to be an easier way… it just seems so @ss backwards that Apple set this up in this way.

Agree 100%. And it's difficult to set a homescreen wallpaper only in the Photos app. I've had issues setting my custom wallpapers. Can't just tap to set now. I have to use my fingers to try and get it to fit. And some are really difficult. Especially the ones with borders around my icons and folders.

Honestly it drives me insane…

I almost don’t want to change my wallpaper on my Home Screen anymore as frustrating as it is.

So far, I've created 18 lockscreen/homescreen combos. So I just switch from one to another combo.

The one I use the most is a stack of 9 Van Gogh painting images that rotate each time that my phone unlocks. I may change it to rotating once per day, just so I see each image for a longer period of time.

I also still have my original lock screen / wallpaper combo from iOS 15. I don't care all that much about widgets on the lock screen, so I may go back to that eventually. I don't love the stock wallpapers for iOS 16 compared with iOS 15, that's for sure.
