It was widely believed that iOS 16.5 would be the last update before WWDC 2023. Unexpectedly, not long after that, we saw the news that iOS 16.6 would launch public testing. Although everyone speculates that Apple may be trying to correct the battery life problem that many people lament about in iOS 16.5. But now it seems that maybe you can consider waiting a little bit, maybe the iPhone’s power consumption problem will be improved.

Is the iOS 16.5 update going to crash? Apple officially provides solutions publicly
With the official launch of the latest iOS 16.5 update, many people have begun to report problems with battery life and even the temperature of their phones. Some people have even directly measured it and found that there is indeed a phenomenon that consumes more power (see more:iOS 16.5 update, actual measurement found that power consumption continues to increase, only these 2 iPhone models are not affected (there are also accessories update failures!)）。
But what’s amazing is that among all the mobile phones tested by iAppleBytes, two of them survived the general problem of poor battery life: iPhone 8, iPhone SE 2020, iPhone XR, iPhone 11, iPhone 12 and iPhone 13. It also makes people curious as to what causes such deviations.
Now it seems that some clues may be found from the Apple Support team’s responses to user complaints on social networking sites.
iOS 16.5 is deadly for the battery.

It was widely believed that iOS 16.5 would be the last update before WWDC 2023. Unexpectedly, not long after that, we saw the news that iOS 16.6 would launch public testing. Although everyone speculates that Apple may be trying to correct the battery life problem that many people lament about in iOS 16.5. But now it seems that maybe everyone can consider as long as it is very simple“A few thunders to repair the egg”After a while, the iPhone’s battery consumption may be different.
As for how long to wait specifically, Apple’s reply above mentioned the words “up to 48 hours” very specifically.

In short, this update may require more in-depth adjustments to some applications and functions (usually the database needs to be updated, etc.?). Because of this, it may lead to higher power consumption (so the survival of two mobile phones may also be related to the time and sequence of updates?).
In short, this phenomenon is considered normal in the eyes of Apple’s support team. However, it was also mentioned that if there are still related problems after more than 48 hours, the user can be asked to proactively DM the support team to obtain relevant information.
The iOS 16.5 update includes a new “Rainbow Celebration” background image for the lock screen that pays tribute to the LGBTQ+ community and culture, a fix for an issue where Spotlight may become unresponsive, a fix for an issue where Podcasts in CarPlay may not load content, and a fix for an issue where Screen Time settings may reset or fail to sync across all devices.
However, not only were problems with power consumption and high phone temperatures reported, some people also mentioned that the “Lightning to USB 3 camera adapter” seemed to be unable to work.
Now it seems that at least iOS 16.6 is on its way. But I believe that friends who are still on the previous version will choose not to update for the time being, instead of having to worry about battery life for two days after updating. Wait and see if iOS 16.6 can completely avoid such “pain”, right? Although it feels like this update may be to correct more problems with accessories…
