This happened to my device twice, and as first I thought something were wrong with my phone until I saw people talking about it online, and having similar problems. It sucks, but I'm glad knowing I'm not the only one facing these issues.
My phone actually decided to reset in the middle of a very important🤣 phone call I was making at 10% battery charge and lets not forget about the trash lightning connectors that seem to only die when not connected to a mac.
This bug was happening quite regularly on my iPhone SE 3rd generation a while back.. Would press the home button and the taptic engine would respond but screen would stay off and then phone would reboot after a while.. Seems to have been fixed in an iOS update, sad to see this same thing now happening on other iPhone models.. Also the iOS 15 software that my phone came with out of the box had a problem where my phone would just randomly crash every few days and when checking the logs it was a kernel panic each time.. Was quite shocked to encounter severe bugs like this on a new Apple device 😢
I absolutely feel you. I’ve been an android user for decades now and just recently made the switch to an iPhone 13 Pro Max. And I have to say it is absolutely the buggiest glitchiest piece of garbage cell phone I have ever used in my life. From capacitive touch issues with the screen to the keyboard, not functioning properly, skipping spaces, putting a period four spaces at the end of a sentence, TH-cam video going black while still hearing the audio, rotation getting stuck,and on and on. As absolutely soon as humanly possible, when my finances come together, I will be moving back to android. I have had it with the iPhone. Never AGAIN will I buy this worthless TRASH over Android.
The worst part in all of this, I MADE A BUG REPORT with the feedback app / site to let Apple know about my issues with audio playback (audio skipping after a call has been made with any app). It hasn't even been opened since NOVEMBER 2022. I am seriously mad. Thank you for shedding light on this abselutly ridicule problem (btw, love the new content direction !)
There are many old bugs, like Siri stuttering in Shortcuts. They never get fixed. Basic features like reading the weather forecast via Siri after stopping my morning alarm are broken since years. For me Apple is full of shit in some areas.
Good for you, Luke, for breaking out of the "iOS and Apple are perfect and everything just works" mantra of most tech TH-camrs. As an Android/Pixel user, I've been tempted to try an iPhone from time to time (my first). This video gives me pause, and I thank you for that!
Android guy here myself. All operating systems have bugs but what I see here is a bit too much for Apple. Never owned an iPhone but I admire their attention to detail which is why I am a bit surprised by all this.
I will say if you’re a small phone enthusiast the iPhone mini is currently the best bang for your buck. I got a refurbished iPhone 12 mini for $262 on backmarket which is a steal considering it has flagship features I’m an avid android user (previously had the Samsung galaxy Note 4, S10, and S20) but I’m tired of smartphones getting so large so I got the iPhone mini. I do miss a few things like the back button, the clipboard, and customization. If an android smartphone manufacturer made a smartphone the size of the iPhone mini or the original iPhone SE I would totally switch but for now the smallest android device is made by zenfone. Also I don’t count the Z flip 3 as a small phone because it’s more like a portable phone. When opened it’s the size of a normal phone and has the same problems (not usable one handed, not lightweight, top heavy, cannot reach entire screen, etc.)
Ironically, hearing you talk about all these bugs in iOS 16 made me realize just how stable my Samsung Note 10 is. It has rarely ever done anything wonky. It just works! (To the point that I just take it for granted). Ironic indeed. I love your videos and your presentation and I hope all of this works out for you very soon.
Same here, I'm shocked to see how buggy the iOS 16 is when I hear all the time that Apple iPhones are stable. I have a Samsung Note 20 Ultra that I held on and it works great with no issues.
I have an A series and still haven't experienced many bugs. Only app crashes but they're rare. The worst bug I've had recently was the phone restarting during charging. But it stopped for some reason. I think it was an app I downloaded that may have been taking up an excessive amount of memory
I've seen many of these bugs on my iPad too, so this is not limited to iOS. And the last sentence of your video, "Doesn't matter how good the hardware is if the software sucks" kind of translates to the iPad too. We finally need a powerful OS for the iPad, I don't care if it's Mac OS or something else, but it's absurd how I can't rely on the Files app to work on iPad and how many times I experience data loss on a $1000 device.
I would seriously contact apple and report your issues to one of the techs. They will run some diagnostics on your device to see if anything comes up such as software issues or hardware issues. Once a report has been made try to capture screen recording of the issue in action that way you can include that In the ticket. Good luck
@@imho4990 I don't know and I am happy for you. But working on the iPad with Microsoft word and other cloud services than iCloud or OneDrive - which, unfortunately, is necessary for my workflow - leads pretty often to Dataloss and as far as I can see it's not an error of my iPad but generally the problem of iPadOS's files app which really doesn't work well with cloud services.
There’s also changes in the UI that made experience worse. For example, Apple removed the knob from sliders in iOS 16. Now, I accidentally change something every time I try to see more notifications by swiping up (I tap on the text to avoid) or when I’m carrying my phone with my hands
Its insane that a high end manufacturer that charges the prices they do, and make design choices (they say) to make the best possible user experience releases such a janky operating system. One of the last real bastions of apple's phliosophy is UX and hardware/software integration which no other company can boast (they say) and they're fucking that up
I thought I was going crazy. Macrumors gaslights people into thinking they’re just not smart enough to use iPhone. The joy of the first iPhones were that as a first time smartphone user, you could easily and intuitively figure anything out by fiddling with the phone for a few minutes. IOS is bloated with options and settings that are always defaulted in the worst possible way. Don’t even get me started on the keyboard and predictive text. I use to be able to type multi-line texts on my android in seconds, but on iPhone 12 it takes twice as long to fix all the insane word replacements.
The camera switching between lenses as I'm trying to shoot is a design flaw, not a bug, which makes it even more frustrating. To reproduce, it occurs more on closeups and/or low light.
As you said, this is on purpose. It switches automatically to the makro lens bcs the normal lens cant focus anymore bcs you are too close on the object you are filming. You can turn that off in the settings btw
I'm curious how much this has to do with the newer iPhones. On my 11 Pro the only bug I've experienced with any regularity has been the squared notifications (plus the recent global weather info outage). Regardless, all in on iOS 17 being focused on smoothing out bugs and improving performance.
I don't know, I'm on a 11 Pro as well and have seen quite a few of the bugs as well, even the phone locking up completely but not as often. But yeah overall iOS 16 has been quite a mess on my 11 Pro as well, maybe it's not as bad as newer ones or maybe your just really lucky.
not much issue on iPhone 8+ with 16.4 beta. the one issue i had was unable to pick up a call as the button wasn't responsive. Today just upgraded to 16.5 beta and no issues so far
While I am an Android user, I always carry an iPhone with me for the good part of the last 10 years. I've been trough everything from 4S, to 5S, 6 and 6S, 8, X, 11 and now 13 Pro and similar bugs are ocurring for me regularly especially the keyboard playing hide and seek. This was not limited to latest iOs versions, nor to the iPhone 11 and 13 Pro. The keyboard constantly wanted to play with me troughout all years with all iPhones.... I've always told different friends and Apple Fanboys regarding this, showed them Screenshots, videos and what not - they never confirmed nor beleived such issues are present. So I concluded that Apple Fanboys tend to ignore those bugs if they are on an iPhone and only notice such if they occur on Android, Windows, etc. But I'm glad that finally a Fanboy made a nearly 12 minutes video to acknowledge those issues, as they are simply annoying. I might also send this to my friends now :)
Same here! I'm a long-time Android user but have some iOS devices (iPhone 7, iPad 8th gen). There are definitely many things I appreciate about iOS but also quite a few things that annoy the hell out of me. 😂 I just want to roll my eyes at the "it just works" mantra, haha.
Hide and seek with your keyboard? Same though.. I'm using ip11 rn.. thanks god I got a backup phone which is an android.. how about flickering while watching TH-cam? quite rare but still...
Im done with iOS 16 Heres another two bugs: - the unresponsive and laggy screen AKA FROZEN IPHONE that needs a hard reset to get it working again - the buggy ultra slow and momentarily unresponsive OS, and this one particularly makes the keyboard suddenly start spamming keys at light speed
I get rid of a my iphone 12 Pro Max because a lot of bugs on iOS, break down a lot and cost a lot a money for repair. I bought Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 for €250, I owned a Redmi Note 11 for 2 years and I don't have a issues. Ever I updating a latest version of Hyperos and I didn't have a issues at all.
One thing I absolutely HATE is how my iPad kills itself when it’s storage gets to full. It’ll get its storage full, it’ll give me a loading icon with a black background, I’ll be stuck on the Lock Screen, trying to escape results in that same loading screen again, I’ll force restart it... I then delete photos, and I get more storage for about a week. Then it’s full again. I DONT EVEN USE IT FOR A WEEK AND ITS STORAGE IS FULL. I also hear stories about people’s devices being bricked because the storage is too full. Seriously, why hasn’t Apple fixed this yet?
To be fair, if you run any computer at full storage capacity than you will eventually run into operating issues or a slow/delayed experience. This is because computers use the storage to do normal everyday operations as well so when you fill it up with data than it runs into a wall ocasionally. I empathize with you though that is frustrating. I personally regret swapping to a 14 Pro Max every sing day. I run into bugs left and right with this thing. I never had any issues with the multiple Samsung Android flagship phones I have had over the years. Figured I'd give the iPhone a shot. Never again.
I don’t like how involved it is to change a wallpaper now, and I also think the amount of focus modes and stuff is super daunting for new users. 14 was pretty solid. My 12 mini sidearm still runs it.
Oh my god you have no idea how much it pisses me off to change my wallpaper now! So many issues with it from automatically blurring home screenwallapers to not even loading wallpapers because of the lack of ram on iPhones!!! Just horrible and they haven’t fixed it!!
I remember a time when I was debating whether to stick with iOS 15 on my iPhone 13, or giving iOS 16 a try. I honestly regret upgrading to iOS 16, it's been nothing but problems and strange quirks ever since. I could live with the more benign bugs, like certain app notifications not pushing as they should, or downloads of new apps in the app store being borked until after the third reboot of the phone, but it's another story when performance is impacted. The worst bugs by far have been the random drop-outs and connectivity issues with all the wireless radio stuff. Random bluetooth dropouts, less precise GPS, getting the "Wi-Fi connection might not have internet access" message and a weak signal when I'm literally standing right next to the WAP in my home. My biggest gripe is the spotty cell service where I consistently had reliable 5G connectivity and full bars before in iOS 15. I know whoever is reading this is thinking "But wait, that sounds like a hardware issue!", but when I reboot my phone all those problems go away for a little while. Everything starts working fine for about a day, and then things start to degrade to like before. Literally the only thing that changed was upgrading to iOS 16.
Just the other day I was contemplating about updating my iPhone 13 to iOS 16 from 15, but the recounting of your woes about the same has been enough of a deterrent for me to not even look at that iOS update notification in the Settings app for quite a few months to come.
@@Ishan716 I've just installed 16.4.1 today. So far, so good, but only time will tell. I couldn't recommend staying with 15 more if I tried. It's not worth the customizable lock screen and extra emoji support.
@@foxyloon I got over those "customisations" while using my old Galaxy S4 as a school faring kid eons ago, as I'm sure many others did as well. A stable OS delivering a peace of mind is what one desires and expects, with these phones in '23. I hope that the 16.4.1 update lends you a well-deserved relief from the incessant niggles and the compounding headaches. Wishing for the best
I use an Android Phone (Pixel 6 Pro) myself but we use iPhones at work. Tbh I have experienced way more annoying bugs on iOS than on Android (e.g. not being able to hang up calls sometimes). To be clear: I am not hating on Apple, I own an iPad which I absolutely love and I may get a MacBook at some point and there are many things I like about the iPhones at work but my experience with iOS was worse than on Android. I have experienced my fair share of bugs on Android, but for a platform which has stability as one of its main selling points this is kinda bad
I consider myself very lucky not to have these major bugs. I’ve been getting the usual UI bugs and stuff, bad battery in early version, ect. But nothing phone breaking, or making me want to go back to iOS15
@@TheKDKCollector I’ve 8 plus with iOS 16 latest but didn’t get those bugs I guess it’s only in 14s with dynamic island (as all the iPhones with bugs in the video had that dynamic island)
@@AB-ei6tx Dude, I'm also on 15.6.1, which works perfectly! Looks like I'm skipping iOS 16 entirely and jumping straight to 17. I'm counting on Luke to let us know if it's an improvement. I wish other big Apple youtubers would give these issues the same level of attention.
After watching this I can comfortably say that I’m NOT alone with all these bugs. The worst I had was the inability of SENDING SMS after uploading to iOS 16 for like a solid two months and a half (yes, I do send SMS to some contacts). And if it is true that iOS 17 comes to fix all those bugs then I’m in, but for Christ sake do it sooner
A strange bug I've seen quite a bit: The clock on the springboard will skip a minute. i.e. it will be on 08:18 for two minutes, then change to 08:20. Lock screen clock has always been up to the minute. The clock app seems fine as well. From what I've read, this bug has been around since at least iOS 9 (2015).
This used to happen to me on my iPhone 4 using iOS 7. I believe this problem still exists, also this issue sometimes occur on my iPad and iPhone! Hopefully IOS 17 will sort out several bugs that exists on IOS.
I had a bug where widgets disappear from the homescreen and leave the space blank, that one is a classic for me. It has happened a lot of times now, and the blank screen has happened many times too but after a few minutes I can get back to using it again without restarting, but it definitely is annoying
I can never take a screenshot of it but I also have the AirPods connected notification bug on my 13 Pro Max (the one that would show in landscape even when holding it in portrait). Otherwise 16.4 and 16.4.1 have been bug-free for me so far. Around the same stability and is as bug-free as iOS 15
Glad to hear I’m not the only one encountering many bugs lately on my iPhone 12 mini. The most annoying is the bug where the screen stays dark. But it always unfreezes after 10 seconds orso without crashing. Oh well, I see it as a kind reminder how awesomely stable complex software has become in the last 15 years.
Honestly, I upgraded to the iPhone 14 PM only because Apple would not help me either through customer support or via Genius Bar. I had terrible bugs mainly on the 12PM though. Those included: (as unbelievable as it sounds) it called 911 TWICE by itself. Sometimes volume on headphones would skyrocket and hurt my ears if I pressed the volume down button. It restarts by itself with no reason whatsoever. Bugs at notification, similar to yours. And many more. I took it to the Genius Bar, explained all my problems, and they said my phone was fine. I did pay for AppleCare so I thought they would be able to fix my volume or my AirPods. But they said I had no problems. I couldn’t continue with them since they didn’t seem to want to help me. Later that month I decided to get the Note 20U 5G. Worked like a charm. No volume problems leaving me with short bursts of tinnitus. Notifs we’re great, my phone never restarted, and it just worked. Downside was battery, so I kept using my 12PM for trips and video. I upgraded to the 14PM 2 years later. I have had those exact issues you describe. Although I just got the phone about 2 months ago, I am contemplating trading it in at Samsung OR see if these issues will be fixed in iOS 17. If anyone has a solution please let me know. Thank you for reading my essay, albeit unorganized. 😂 have a good one y’all.
One thing that absolutely drives me mad is that iOS doesn’t accept touches when the screen is animating something like a message dialog or page slide. I find myself repeating touches 2-3 times before it’s registered because I haven’t waited for the entire transition animation to be over. It makes it so frustrating to use the phone!
@@austinmahone6322 while that’s great in order to make sure your phone remains stable and snappy, it’s also extremely risky, as you’re forfeiting any security patches that come with the firmware updates. There’s been at least a couple serious patches since 15.1.1.
@@TheEviltaco666Yeah well my Dad is getting up there in years and he just can’t learn anything new anymore. Guess who has to explain it to him several times a day. To make it even worse he also uses a PC which makes things more difficult in trying to integrate his information across platforms for me. I stopped using Windows over a decade ago so not that much is familiar anymore, and it’s an exercise in frustration. He could definitely use an interface that was more “Fisher Price” and TBH most of the features they have in the OS I don’t even use.
My iPhone 13 has been acting weird as well. I couldn’t play videos in my camera roll, I couldn’t open any group chat in messages, I couldn’t send photos or videos, nor could I delete photos or videos. And while watching this video, for some reason it asked me to sign into iCloud, when I didn’t have any other app opened in the background
About the not responsive touch screen when picking up a call: it's a bug that's been there for a while, it's more prevalent now, but I remember it happening during iOS 6. I've found a work around though, when you receive a call from a locked screen, hold your finger for about a second on the green circle before starting the swipe instead of trying to do it all in a single motion. I don't know if it's garanteed to work 100% of the time though.
The bugs, instability, and incompatibility in MacOS is what drove me to windows. I still stuck by IOS until last year when my iPhone 12 started having many of the issues featured in this video. I am a pilot, and so getting stuck somewhere unable to use my phone is a scary thought. Over this year I was getting maybe 4 hours of battery life when not even touching it and my charging port died so I could only use magsafe. I work with android a lot for work and school and have always found it to run better and offer so much more than ios, so this month I made use of AT&T's Samsung deal and traded the 12 in for a S23. I can say android is a welcome breath of fresh air. I am never going back.
did you really get a more stable and bug-free experience on windows? i had a completele reverse experience, so im curious why that is also which version of macos and windows did you use?
@@spaghettiiq I did. I didn't even buy a PC for the sake of switching, I just wanted a gaming rig (HP Omen 30L). I still thought MacOs was superior, thinking that the bugs and compatibility issues would be even worse on windows. The machine shipped before windows 11, so it ran 10. I was instantly amazed at how smoothly it ran. It felt so much more complete. Within a day I made it my main computer. Even after switching to windows 11, the only time it has ever crashed it was entirely my fault. During my first year at college the day before classes started I nearly threw my 2018 iPad Pro, which had been my "laptop" for several years, out the window after (routine) ios issues. I went to best buy and bought (literally) the last laptop in the store, a low-end lenovo IdeaPad 3 15.6 inch. Almost two years later it has nevet let me down. In fact, I still use my mac mini (Core i7 64GB ram 2TB ssd) as my home desktop when I'm at school. I am getting a new laptop that will fit my needs better for next semester and my lenovo will replace the mini as my home computer, purely because it has been more reliable. The mini won't go waste, tho. I have some plans for how to still use it. To answer your question, yes, absolutely yes I have gotten a FAR better experience with both windows and android. I have gotten it from both a low-end and a high-end PC, and the same for android. I have family and friends who still use MacOS religiously and refuse to believe that its the problem. They complain about all the same bugs, and the ones with Apple silicon have it the worst. (Also I always and still do update all my computers to the latest software version, so I was and am running the latest version of MacOS). Sorry for my little essay. I just feel very strongly about how Apple lied to us for so long. (Sincs 2012 for me).
@@upsidedownairplane4866 interesting for sure ive been using windows on a pc since around 7/8 years ago starting with 7, then 10 only recently around half a year ago now i had to get a laptop for school so i started using an old 2011 macbook air and despite being 11 years old for general usage it felt way better than my way more powerful pc no crashes, pretty much 0 glitches, compared to windows 10 which for me blue screened atleast once every two weeks on a new install december last year i upgraded to the 2021 14 inch m1 pro mbp and its been great, definitely noticed more glitches in post macos11 than on osx, which sucks, but nothing that breaks everything, mostly just visual stuff (im also on public beta versions, so not surprised), definitely way less than ive had on windows 10 though, for the amount of visual glitches ive had on macos13 ive had 1.5 times the amount on win10, but no critical system breaking glitches unlike win10 tried windows 11 too in virtualization (as trying to get it on my "unsupported" pc is a pain) and its terrible, from what i saw less glitches than 10, but ive not used it as extensively, so maybe not, but they completely destroyed anything it had going for it in terms of customization, not to mention the horrendous design (like genuinely, why can i not remove the network icon from the now grouped notification tray icons in the system tray area??) from windows 7 it seems for me each version of windows gets worse and worse, especially as a power user... not to mention microsoft needing to push everything they make down your throat, forces you to use an online account unless you literally dont have a connection, you need to spend extreme amounts of time to get rid of their stuff properly you cannot even remove edge without something breaking, and if you do not completely remove it, just unpin, remove shortcuts, etc, and not use it, ive had it multiple times after a windows update on win11 ADD ITSELF BACK to the desktop, taskbar, and start menu, like what the fuck? also after the same updates it added back the search box and task view buttons to my taskbar, after i deliberately removed them, again, wtf on macos you can just click 2 times to not use an appleid, some stuff you cant remove (which i do hate), like stocks, siri, photos, home, photobooth, because its for some reason in the read-only part of the system, but you can just not use them, and ignore them completely, they dont randomly open, try to get you to use them, or give you popups when you try to use an alternative app to change from safari to a different browser you just change it in settings after downloading another one, it doesnt give you like 3 banners when you search for a different browser (like seriously, why is edge modifying google search's html for specific results for its own purposes, wtf) having ads and preinstalled bs on a PAID and pretty damn expensive operating system is such a joke, gotta love having tiktok and candy crush in the win11 startmenu by default not to mention windows has been losing functionality and been getting more frustrating to use every update ive pretty much abandoned my pc for anything but games with anticheat that doesnt work under virtualization, nothing else, even a lot of games work on my apple silicon mac, definitely more than i expected, some run way better than on my pc, even though they are under so many translation layers its funny (of course my pc is very old by now, but still) sorry for the rant too :) what in particular about macos did you have constant issues with? also, could you elaborate in compatibility issues? im interested in what you mean by that
Traded in my 14PM 3 months ago for an S23 Ultra because of 16 bugs and continued lack of innovation on the iPhone overall. There's a few things I miss, but not enough to bring me back. Apple needs to step up their game.
I've been having many bugs with iOS 16's new lock screen. At the beginning of iOS 16's release, I would get a bug where the notifications wouldn't let me pull them up to see the rest of my notifications. That doesn't often happen anymore, but I get many UI glitches when playing music with album artwork. Overlapping notifications, distorted album artwork icons, and weird spacing. I believe that since the lock screen is so different and new that Apple will definitely fix this with iOS 17
The first issue has happened to me at least once. My iphone 14PM also still gets hot sometimes with just watching TH-cam videos or streaming music since launch. I hope Apple keeps addressing these nasty bugs. I've never seen ios get this bad when it comes buggy ios releases.
I am currently running iOS 16.5 developer beta, and I haven't seen any of these bugs, I have had a few in the past but after updating everything went away. Maybe they're getting things under control.
I've always wanted a bug collection, and my phone is the perfect curator! It's amazing how these bugs manage to find their way into every nook and cranny of my device.
Just experienced this as well.. so frustrating. It happens several times in a row, I thought it was a new app I installed. So frustrating.. unacceptable for an expensive flagship phone to be dying suddenly and no way to fix
I watched and read every single iOS 16 review that I could and decided not to update from iOS 15.1.1. I have an iPhone 13 Pro Max which is still on iOS 15.1.1 and the only downside of it is no new emojis. I hope Apple fixes the problems so that me and others like me use the newest and best iOS updates.
I've been saying this for a while. iOS is trending downward. I still absolutely love the OS and the device itself, but after notifications seemingly have gotten shafted over the past 5 or so years, everything else seems to just fall apart. About a month ago my phone would not turn on after charging fully. I had to DFU mode it and restart the phone that way. I hope Apple changes something before their OS eats it own tail.
yep, imessage is not working for me and facetime also, but at the same time, im not down to update it to ios17 since things will get worse, and battery will last less 🤦♂️🤦♂️
Thank you Luke for bringing his up!! The screen going black issue is something I noticed since upgrading to iOS 16 on my 13 Pro Max. Now the weird phenomena gets triggered when I put my iPhone for charging overnight and when I wake up my phone is like not responding with black screen. That means it suppresses the alarm also. Which almost got me late for work once. Since then I always make sure to charge my iPhone before I go to sleep or if I have to charge overnight, then I keep a backup alarm on my note 20 or apple watch -_-..The only way I could get out of it is if I connect back to charger and attempt to hard reset at least 5-6 times, taking to apple store two times didn't help either as they just reset the software and gave it back saying its fine. Almost thought of selling off my 13 Pro Max and getting a 14 Pro Max, but then I came across a bunch of reddit threads that discussed the same issue on the 14 PM also. So, ditched that plan.
To fix, click volume up then volume down, then hold the side button until you see the logo. This will force reset the iPhone, quick and easy. Still a frustrating bug though.
@@prhawkeye Agreed.Well that is the only thing that worked for me. But the frustrating part is this works only when I plug my iPhone to a charger or PC after a few attempts. The iPhone unplugged doesn't seem to restart with this technique. Luckily I have not yet faced this when I'm outside like Luke.
The visual bugs is something that I have not had on my iPhone 14 Pro Max, but a few weeks ago my devices decided to forget all of my Wi-Fi passwords... so I had to reenter the same password on my iPhone, iPad and MacBook. I work with IT for a company in Sweden and some of the users have had similar issues with their iPhones as well.
The same happened to me with my 11 Pro. I somehow can't remember if it was after I installed the iOS update or not. Do you know that? Was that after iOS update or just suddenly out of nothing?
That’s the reason I’m not updating now. I have an iPhone 14 pro (that obviously did come with iOS 16). But my iPad Pro M1 is still running iPadOS 15. It’s not the perfect iOS version, but it’s indeed way better than 16.4. The battery life is significantly worse on iOS 16, a 2018 iPad Pro that I have updated, dies way faster without using it, it’s just simply a shame now.
the only issue I ever had was the screen rotating and half of it missing, the other half covered by an invisible keyboard. The other issue I had since I got my iPhone 2 years ago, is using spotlight for searching google, it opening the search I typed in, and then going back to whatever window was open before in safari (usually another search). Really annoying to lose everything you typed. Same on iPad. As for it getting worse; I do notice apps being buggier lately, mostly Whatsapp has been interesting. That said, and I'm probably going to get flak for this; I have a Mac Mini M1, Macbook Air M1, iMac 2017 21.5", iPad 2021, iphone 11 and an Apple watch SE. And as much as I like all of them, the one that is most replaceable, is the iPad. Other than the ecosystem, a good Android phone is as good as a good iPhone. Sure, if you compare a 250 dollar android phone to an 1100 dollar iPhone, absolutely, the iPhone will win. And sure, there's shitty expensive android phones (The pixel 6 was absolute horror for instance) but if you are sick of iPhone, I genuinely think it's the devices that is most similar to the competition.
I wonder if these issues are worse for the iPhone 14. On my 13 I haven’t had much besides the unresponsive screen when you try to wake it, and that only been like 2 or 3 times in the last couple months. Also I had the weather app break and show nothing a few days ago, but I assumed that was some server issue not iOS
My 13 Pro max was SOLID, I almost regretted getting the 14 Pro max as it was buggy in the first week! Been alright since then, but I have noticed bugs in the last few days
it‘s very bad for me, i’ve been an iPhone user since Iphone 3gs, and I would say my experience for the last one or two years are very very very bad, i’m not kidding,3 days ago I I started to seriously thinking about buying myself a Samsung due to the unstable buggy experience in ios16, the FaceTime is pretty much unusable since the update, and I do a lot of FaceTime due to recently I moved overseas to work, and all those buggy things pretty much kills the experience I have for the past 10years, the only thing that stopped me from using the android is,I simply has too many data and files that works only with mac and iPhone, and this pissed me off even more, cuz I feel like I’m on a bus that I can’t get off.
I've gone through every iteration of iOS since I bought my first iPhone, a 3GS. Honestly, I have NEVER had any problem with iOS. I've heard of plenty of people complaining about bugs over the years, but I have yet to experience any of them.
Just because you didn't have those issues, doesn't mean it magically doesn't happens to others, you're just having a fluke I've went through this annoying system crash where it force restart my system several times, and even got the looping flash apple logo problem
I have a 13 and the weather app craps out routinely like you describe. It has locked the screen like you discussed here, but that's been rare. In general, I have noticed people with older iphones have far fewer problems. Something about the 14 seems way off in general. Does the camera still vibrate in that weird way?
When this lock up happens (I've only had it happen twice in since the iPhone 12) you really only have to force reset the phone. Click volume up, volume down then hold the side button until you see the logo. It is super quick. This is a frustrating bug though, but easy to counter with a couple of key clicks.
I’ve had it happen once, months ago on my 13 Pro and that’s what I did. Wish Luke would mention that instead of encouraging DFU mode reset. That’s not even necessary.
Unbelievable! I never upgraded from my iPhone 13 Pro Max and had a good as usual experience with iOS 16. I wonder if the software for the iPhone 14 variant might be connected to the bugs.
Yearly September iOS updates do generally start off a bit buggy and unstable I find, but within a few months they start to level out and become stable. However with iOS 16 I feel its not greatly improved since its initial release
I get an unresponsive touch screen very often, I know it software rather than hardware. Happens to random apps, which I’ll have to close and open again
It's kinda funny, one of the reasons I picked up an iPhone (but an old XS Max for 3d touch lol) was because of more consistent updates, yet I'm currently staying on jailbroken 15.1 instead of updating
I don't remember having any issues like this on my Galaxy S22 Ultra. I have definitely noticed more bugs in iPad OS's UI than Samsung's One UI on both the phone and the tablet.
I can't stands all the over complex functions of iPhone, like when it puts the camera in LiveMode automatically. There's so many user functions they add that make everything so clumbsy to use.
During an event last year, my iPhone 12 Pro Max completely locked up on iOS 15.4. It was so bad that I could not use my phone during the event to be in constant contact with my team. It was absolutely infuriating. Fortunately, my friend used a developer tool to reset and get it to work again.
I haven’t had most of these bugs on my 13 Pro Max but definitely have seen them mostly on the 14 Pro/Max, I do think the rumors were true that the 14 Pro lineup was supposed to have the 3nm architecture but Apple changed it last second to the 4nm one and it’s still not optimized properly.
So for all the people with the black screen bug it happened to me when i had a screen protector covering the entire screen along with the notch . It fixed itself when i got a another screen protector with a cutout for the notch
I’ve been using an iPhone 14 Pro since October. I also use AirPods Pro daily. I’m usually running the latest software within days of release. I’ve never experienced ANY of these bugs. Seriously, none of them. But if I had as many problems as Luke and others claim to have, and a reset from scratch (not a restore from backup) didn’t fix it, then I’d be getting the hardware checked out.
Same here… I’ve had zero problems on my 14 Pro Max. My buddy had a problem where his 14PM locked while validating an update and the screen wouldn’t accept input. His phone was just stuck with the ‘Validating Update’ screen for hours. He finally did a hard reset and it fixed it. Same thing happened to my wife on her 12PM a few days later. Outside of those examples, I’ve been pretty lucky, and I use my phone a lot during and outside of work.
one of the issues i've had is when none of the apps open up properly anymore. every single app would open up to a blank screen pretty much. safari would allow me to type stuff into the search bar but won't do anything else
I regret the decision of swapping to an iPhone 14 Pro Max from my usual upgrade of a Samsung Android flagship EVERY TIME I reach for my phone. I HATE this thing. The touch screen is clunky. It often doesn't respond to touch especially in corners and especially if its a small button I'm trying to hit. The UI is clunky and unintuitive. Why is the back button for most apps a VERY small arrow under the other arrow that is above it in the top left that exits out of the app entirely?! Talk about clunky just make it a swipe! Speaking of which the amount of times this phone mistakes a VERY clear swipe up for a swipe to the left or right is astonishing! I get apps that crash all the time. I have gotten all of the Facetime bugs you mentioned. I swapped to an iPhone when I had an opportunity for an upgrade because I am in nursing school and everyone in my cohort has iPhones so I figured it would make it easier to communicate with my fellow classmates. I regret ever swapping and will never, NEVER buy another iPhone as long as I live. I've had this PoS nearly a year now and I consistently run into little buggy glitches that all add up to such a poor user experience. I do not understand why people love these phones so much? It really is a cult like mentality. I didn't enjoy my iPhone back when I had an iPhone 5 and I still don't enjoy it now years later with the 14 Pro Max Apples alleged premium experience of a flagship. This thing is horrid. As soon as I can get rid of this thing and get another Samsung I will not hesitate.
This has been happening to me over the past few months with the camera app opening with a black screen, keyboard not showing 😂 and the screen being landscape so I can only see the middle square of the UI with the top and bottom off the actual display. The annoying part is volume control which doesn’t go in intervals but big jumps Also the black screen thing is a regular thing
A few things I've noticed: - Sometimes when you open the notifications on lockscreen, they will all be square shaped for a second or two before becoming bubble shaped again. - When playing around with the rubber band animation that happens when you reach an end while scrolling on lockscreen, going all the way to the top, sliding down slightly and then slowly sliding back up... instead of just bouncing back, it instaltly just snaps back with no animation at all. iOS 16 was so bad it made me go get a Samsung instead.
I’ve definitely noticed the increase in bugs over the years. It’s an unfortunate situation brought in by becoming more and more and more complex. They really need to devote more resources to debugging. That said, it may not be all that much better with an Android either, as bugs are just a cat and mouse game. That said some long-lasting bugs have seemed to be finally fixed, accidental or not. My main one was when I’d set to “play next” in music, occasionally it would decide to just ignore that request.
@@dsihacks my favorite one on Android when I did use it was when I’d move an app to the SD, it would work fine for a few weeks, then go corrupt or something. I’d have to delete and reinstall the app. Tried multiple SD cards as well. Oh and video calls overheating the phone. I know bugs exist on both sides.
@@computernerdinside installing apps on the SD card.... Forgot we used to do those...😅 But man, I think you haven't used good phones, and that too from Android 8 and up ( or use root to move apps to SD). They are not an issue anymore, you can't move apps to SD cards( even on Samsung's) and video calls don't heat up the device like in the past, even on low end phones.
I still don't get it why there's still people still obsessed with iPhones in 2023 Come one this isn't early 2010s anymore where iPhone & iOS is the best thing ever than crappy android Now the tables are turned & Android is getting better than iPhones on every single aspect
Disclaimer: at some point it got better. (the themes one at least) I've been having LOTS of bugs in the books app. In iOS 15 it worked perfectly, then they went and changed the whole UI and now it's trash. Sometimes it forgets the color theme, using almost white text in white background. Other times does the opposite in dark mode. It's impossible now to zoom in an image (it goes max zoom when tapping an image and it can only be dragged with two fingers and it feels buggy). Because i use an iPhone 8, i can see the page have square borders and then snap to rounded corners when dragging it away (the one to close the book), maybe they forgot square screens exist? (This one is macOS related) sometimes the book app is a white window, it cannot be interacted with and only fixes itself by restarting the mac, closing the app does nothing. AND THE WORST OF ALL, they removed the 3d paper animation and now the page just glides to the sides, it looks generic and sad.
Regarding the bug in the beginning: This typically happens at random when connecting your AirPods to the device. The easiest fix (for me at least) is to put my AirPods back in their case, wait a second, then try again.
Android has always had the best operating system in my opinion. I daily drive iPhone but I do so because of the hardware and the ecosystem (watch, airpods, etc), not because of iOS. The operating system has been Android's biggest strength and the gap is just getting a little wider now.
@@OleHippy Yeah, I've used both heavily from the beginning too. I always have the latest Pixel and latest iPhone. Agree to disagree, Android is far superior.
Luke I think you’ve got to remember certainly the last few years due to the pandemic it’s caused real problems not just with iOS but also macOS. Having said that I think Apple has taken its eyes off the ball in quality controls within its software development in its aim to add more and more features. I am hoping that this will be the year when they just concentrate on sorting out all the issues with iOS and macOS.
I appreciate making this video. I totally agree with your opinion. I wish that Apple more focuses on quality control of IOS instead of adding unreliable new features
Very interesting video, I have not had really any problems with iOS 16 on my iPhone 12 Pro so I wonder if these bugs affect the newer phones more? I thought 14 and 15 were worse for me than 16 has been. very excited to get iOS 17 though if its a snow leopard type deal I would be pretty cool with that.
@@cody7068 as long as you won't install any 3rd party bs app, it will work fine. I assume from the videos he posted that people had too many junk apps installed.
More bugs, yes. But also too many unnecessary features and complicated swipe and overlay options. Sometimes more features are not a good idea. The UI was great and they just could not stop. The iphone's simplicity was that most appealing feature and it's gone.
A bug I've been noticing is that if I try to take a photo when I'm listening to music it just totally breaks the Apple Music app until I take out my headphones and relaunch the app.
iOS 16 actually made me switch to Android. Shifted from an iPhone 12 to a Pixel 6. The shift was never a problem since I was never too deep into the ecosystem.
Same! iOS 16 shortened my battery life by 2 hours and introduced so many bugs it made my phone almost unusable. Switched to Pixel 7, not only is Android 13 so much more stable but there's so much freedom on this side!
Thanks for making this. Jon Prosser made a similar video back when we were on iOS 15. Apple's really dropping the ball. Edit: I went from an iPhone 12 Pro to a Zenfone 9 and haven't regretted it a bit. I still like iPhones but Apple's gotta get their s*** together
Good to see I’m not alone with that black screen bug happened twice. There’s a chance that’s going to be fixed then! The one very old thing I hate most (a bug kinda): setting alarm clock, and pressing ”save” too fast. If you don’t wait for the animation to stop, a wrong time will register. And this: exporting a file to gmail app, you can’t change the sender email in the popup, like you can in the gmail app itself. I guess I’m in a minority owning multiple email addresses, but how many years can that be like that? (Not apples fault but googles probably) Oh! And this: when filling email in forms, it will always suggest a wrong one, and sometimes it won’t remember my main address even if I write first letters. No matter how I set up my own contact, it will be like that.
Here in the UK I’m not experiencing any sorts of bugs, just hope you get it fixed EDIT: I am experiencing some bugs such as the one with the AirPods and occasionally my wifi just dropping out then reconnecting but I haven’t really experienced anything major
@Spinosaurus well not really im in uk and ive heard people experiencing bugs with their iphones like the facetime ones probably just chance, although there is different modes of iphone and software versions for different countries but they're mostly the same and wont be immune from bugs
@@RuthlessAfro4692 I have experienced some bugs but after updating to iOS 16.4.1 most have been fixed apart from the AirPods bug where the connection screen breaks
*iOS 9 on iPhone 4S vibes*
It was slow but man, as someone who used that phone on iOS 9 up until 2017, i can tell you it was nowhere near this buggy
Literally my iPhone 8
It’s more like iOS 11 vibes. I remember iOS 11 was also super buggy especially when it first got released.
my ipad mini 1 is on ios 9 its okay i never see a bug just the slownes bit its acceptable beacouse the age of the device :D
iOS 8 is horrible on my iPod touch
This happened to my device twice, and as first I thought something were wrong with my phone until I saw people talking about it online, and having similar problems. It sucks, but I'm glad knowing I'm not the only one facing these issues.
My phone actually decided to reset in the middle of a very important🤣 phone call I was making at 10% battery charge and lets not forget about the trash lightning connectors that seem to only die when not connected to a mac.
This bug was happening quite regularly on my iPhone SE 3rd generation a while back.. Would press the home button and the taptic engine would respond but screen would stay off and then phone would reboot after a while.. Seems to have been fixed in an iOS update, sad to see this same thing now happening on other iPhone models.. Also the iOS 15 software that my phone came with out of the box had a problem where my phone would just randomly crash every few days and when checking the logs it was a kernel panic each time.. Was quite shocked to encounter severe bugs like this on a new Apple device 😢
glad i saw this, same here had to do the volume up and power button trick
The stupid flashlight keeps turning on, half my voicemails are garbled, and voicemails stop if I just put the phone up to my ear. 😡🤬😡
yep, this happens to my iphone xr frequently and i thought it was the incel screen i installed on it
I absolutely feel you.
I’ve been an android user for decades now and just recently made the switch to an iPhone 13 Pro Max. And I have to say it is absolutely the buggiest glitchiest piece of garbage cell phone I have ever used in my life.
From capacitive touch issues with the screen to the keyboard, not functioning properly, skipping spaces, putting a period four spaces at the end of a sentence, TH-cam video going black while still hearing the audio, rotation getting stuck,and on and on.
As absolutely soon as humanly possible, when my finances come together, I will be moving back to android. I have had it with the iPhone.
Never AGAIN will I buy this worthless TRASH over Android.
1000%%% i agree i used iphone 15 pro max recently and hated so bad so i returned it and got myself s24 ultra and never looked back
I’ve had the opposite experience tbh
Same feeling bro bought 13 after 10 years of android, this piece of garbage doesn’t work properly
@@kartikpareek-nn4fb yeah 13 is garbage really bad device compare to modern android flagship models
@@zappsoimilk I downgraded to 13 from my ancient galaxy s9
The worst part in all of this, I MADE A BUG REPORT with the feedback app / site to let Apple know about my issues with audio playback (audio skipping after a call has been made with any app). It hasn't even been opened since NOVEMBER 2022. I am seriously mad. Thank you for shedding light on this abselutly ridicule problem (btw, love the new content direction !)
Then it will be automatically closed because of inactivity😂
I don’t have this issue on my iPhone 8+, so it might just be your headphones
There are many old bugs, like Siri stuttering in Shortcuts. They never get fixed. Basic features like reading the weather forecast via Siri after stopping my morning alarm are broken since years. For me Apple is full of shit in some areas.
@@half-qilin Happens with any lightning audio peripheral, so not quite.
Why I have zero issues?
Good for you, Luke, for breaking out of the "iOS and Apple are perfect and everything just works" mantra of most tech TH-camrs. As an Android/Pixel user, I've been tempted to try an iPhone from time to time (my first). This video gives me pause, and I thank you for that!
Android guy here myself. All operating systems have bugs but what I see here is a bit too much for Apple. Never owned an iPhone but I admire their attention to detail which is why I am a bit surprised by all this.
He's never been that way. You just start watching his videos today?
@@Pogey_Bait I didn't say he was, where did you get that?
Pixel gang 🤙
I will say if you’re a small phone enthusiast the iPhone mini is currently the best bang for your buck. I got a refurbished iPhone 12 mini for $262 on backmarket which is a steal considering it has flagship features
I’m an avid android user (previously had the Samsung galaxy Note 4, S10, and S20) but I’m tired of smartphones getting so large so I got the iPhone mini.
I do miss a few things like the back button, the clipboard, and customization. If an android smartphone manufacturer made a smartphone the size of the iPhone mini or the original iPhone SE I would totally switch but for now the smallest android device is made by zenfone.
Also I don’t count the Z flip 3 as a small phone because it’s more like a portable phone. When opened it’s the size of a normal phone and has the same problems (not usable one handed, not lightweight, top heavy, cannot reach entire screen, etc.)
Ironically, hearing you talk about all these bugs in iOS 16 made me realize just how stable my Samsung Note 10 is. It has rarely ever done anything wonky.
It just works! (To the point that I just take it for granted). Ironic indeed. I love your videos and your presentation and I hope all of this works out for you very soon.
Same here, I'm shocked to see how buggy the iOS 16 is when I hear all the time that Apple iPhones are stable. I have a Samsung Note 20 Ultra that I held on and it works great with no issues.
i use a note 10 too and its the best i have ever used
I have an A series and still haven't experienced many bugs. Only app crashes but they're rare. The worst bug I've had recently was the phone restarting during charging. But it stopped for some reason. I think it was an app I downloaded that may have been taking up an excessive amount of memory
those note 10 phones are still lit could last for a another 5-7 years and still be lit
@@fegik5922 fact.
I've seen many of these bugs on my iPad too, so this is not limited to iOS. And the last sentence of your video, "Doesn't matter how good the hardware is if the software sucks" kind of translates to the iPad too. We finally need a powerful OS for the iPad, I don't care if it's Mac OS or something else, but it's absurd how I can't rely on the Files app to work on iPad and how many times I experience data loss on a $1000 device.
Why I have zero issues?
I would seriously contact apple and report your issues to one of the techs. They will run some diagnostics on your device to see if anything comes up such as software issues or hardware issues.
Once a report has been made try to capture screen recording of the issue in action that way you can include that In the ticket. Good luck
@@imho4990 I don't know and I am happy for you. But working on the iPad with Microsoft word and other cloud services than iCloud or OneDrive - which, unfortunately, is necessary for my workflow - leads pretty often to Dataloss and as far as I can see it's not an error of my iPad but generally the problem of iPadOS's files app which really doesn't work well with cloud services.
@@mapakern3979 "with Microsoft word and other cloud services|
ask Microsoft.
I always thought ipad run on ios too
There’s also changes in the UI that made experience worse. For example, Apple removed the knob from sliders in iOS 16. Now, I accidentally change something every time I try to see more notifications by swiping up (I tap on the text to avoid) or when I’m carrying my phone with my hands
This is actually very annoying at times. Sometimes I skip hour long podcasts or songs by mistake
every. time.
Wanna read notifications? Why not suddenly increase the headphones volume to 100%?
Same here - really aggravating.
@@Akaiiro This. Super annoying when that happens. Also TH-cam videos btw
Its insane that a high end manufacturer that charges the prices they do, and make design choices (they say) to make the best possible user experience releases such a janky operating system. One of the last real bastions of apple's phliosophy is UX and hardware/software integration which no other company can boast (they say) and they're fucking that up
I thought I was going crazy. Macrumors gaslights people into thinking they’re just not smart enough to use iPhone. The joy of the first iPhones were that as a first time smartphone user, you could easily and intuitively figure anything out by fiddling with the phone for a few minutes. IOS is bloated with options and settings that are always defaulted in the worst possible way. Don’t even get me started on the keyboard and predictive text. I use to be able to type multi-line texts on my android in seconds, but on iPhone 12 it takes twice as long to fix all the insane word replacements.
The camera switching between lenses as I'm trying to shoot is a design flaw, not a bug, which makes it even more frustrating. To reproduce, it occurs more on closeups and/or low light.
As you said, this is on purpose. It switches automatically to the makro lens bcs the normal lens cant focus anymore bcs you are too close on the object you are filming.
You can turn that off in the settings btw
I turned off the macro mode. My other pictures were always terrible because it would always come up
@@grpl69 howww please tell me lol
I'm curious how much this has to do with the newer iPhones. On my 11 Pro the only bug I've experienced with any regularity has been the squared notifications (plus the recent global weather info outage).
Regardless, all in on iOS 17 being focused on smoothing out bugs and improving performance.
Same here !
Good point, that could well be the case, because apart from the Wheather-App my iPhone XR is not behaving too badly...
I don't know, I'm on a 11 Pro as well and have seen quite a few of the bugs as well, even the phone locking up completely but not as often. But yeah overall iOS 16 has been quite a mess on my 11 Pro as well, maybe it's not as bad as newer ones or maybe your just really lucky.
Same. My 11 on 16.0 is *knock on wood* rock solid, no glitches.
not much issue on iPhone 8+ with 16.4 beta. the one issue i had was unable to pick up a call as the button wasn't responsive. Today just upgraded to 16.5 beta and no issues so far
While I am an Android user, I always carry an iPhone with me for the good part of the last 10 years. I've been trough everything from 4S, to 5S, 6 and 6S, 8, X, 11 and now 13 Pro and similar bugs are ocurring for me regularly especially the keyboard playing hide and seek. This was not limited to latest iOs versions, nor to the iPhone 11 and 13 Pro. The keyboard constantly wanted to play with me troughout all years with all iPhones.... I've always told different friends and Apple Fanboys regarding this, showed them Screenshots, videos and what not - they never confirmed nor beleived such issues are present. So I concluded that Apple Fanboys tend to ignore those bugs if they are on an iPhone and only notice such if they occur on Android, Windows, etc. But I'm glad that finally a Fanboy made a nearly 12 minutes video to acknowledge those issues, as they are simply annoying. I might also send this to my friends now :)
Yeah, after a long time I shifted to IOS but IOS is not so good as I thought. I hope Apple will take it seriously to fix those issues.
Same here! I'm a long-time Android user but have some iOS devices (iPhone 7, iPad 8th gen). There are definitely many things I appreciate about iOS but also quite a few things that annoy the hell out of me. 😂
I just want to roll my eyes at the "it just works" mantra, haha.
Bro used all iPhones and saying that he is a Android User💀
Hide and seek with your keyboard? Same though.. I'm using ip11 rn.. thanks god I got a backup phone which is an android.. how about flickering while watching TH-cam? quite rare but still...
oh god i thought im the only one.
Im done with iOS 16
Heres another two bugs:
- the unresponsive and laggy screen AKA FROZEN IPHONE that needs a hard reset to get it working again
- the buggy ultra slow and momentarily unresponsive OS, and this one particularly makes the keyboard suddenly start spamming keys at light speed
Your first one is why I’m here as well… it’s awful
@@Generallyannoyed2024 fr
I get rid of a my iphone 12 Pro Max because a lot of bugs on iOS, break down a lot and cost a lot a money for repair. I bought Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 for €250, I owned a Redmi Note 11 for 2 years and I don't have a issues. Ever I updating a latest version of Hyperos and I didn't have a issues at all.
One thing I absolutely HATE is how my iPad kills itself when it’s storage gets to full.
It’ll get its storage full, it’ll give me a loading icon with a black background, I’ll be stuck on the Lock Screen, trying to escape results in that same loading screen again, I’ll force restart it...
I then delete photos, and I get more storage for about a week. Then it’s full again. I DONT EVEN USE IT FOR A WEEK AND ITS STORAGE IS FULL.
I also hear stories about people’s devices being bricked because the storage is too full. Seriously, why hasn’t Apple fixed this yet?
To be fair, if you run any computer at full storage capacity than you will eventually run into operating issues or a slow/delayed experience. This is because computers use the storage to do normal everyday operations as well so when you fill it up with data than it runs into a wall ocasionally. I empathize with you though that is frustrating. I personally regret swapping to a 14 Pro Max every sing day. I run into bugs left and right with this thing. I never had any issues with the multiple Samsung Android flagship phones I have had over the years. Figured I'd give the iPhone a shot. Never again.
I don’t like how involved it is to change a wallpaper now, and I also think the amount of focus modes and stuff is super daunting for new users.
14 was pretty solid. My 12 mini sidearm still runs it.
Oh my god you have no idea how much it pisses me off to change my wallpaper now! So many issues with it from automatically blurring home screenwallapers to not even loading wallpapers because of the lack of ram on iPhones!!! Just horrible and they haven’t fixed it!!
iOS hasn't been good since iOS 14.
I remember a time when I was debating whether to stick with iOS 15 on my iPhone 13, or giving iOS 16 a try. I honestly regret upgrading to iOS 16, it's been nothing but problems and strange quirks ever since. I could live with the more benign bugs, like certain app notifications not pushing as they should, or downloads of new apps in the app store being borked until after the third reboot of the phone, but it's another story when performance is impacted.
The worst bugs by far have been the random drop-outs and connectivity issues with all the wireless radio stuff. Random bluetooth dropouts, less precise GPS, getting the "Wi-Fi connection might not have internet access" message and a weak signal when I'm literally standing right next to the WAP in my home. My biggest gripe is the spotty cell service where I consistently had reliable 5G connectivity and full bars before in iOS 15. I know whoever is reading this is thinking "But wait, that sounds like a hardware issue!", but when I reboot my phone all those problems go away for a little while. Everything starts working fine for about a day, and then things start to degrade to like before. Literally the only thing that changed was upgrading to iOS 16.
Just the other day I was contemplating about updating my iPhone 13 to iOS 16 from 15, but the recounting of your woes about the same has been enough of a deterrent for me to not even look at that iOS update notification in the Settings app for quite a few months to come.
@@Ishan716 I've just installed 16.4.1 today. So far, so good, but only time will tell.

I hope that the 16.4.1 update lends you a well-deserved relief from the incessant niggles and the compounding headaches. Wishing for the best
Keep the system that it was released with. They downgrade your phone with each iOS update for mere buggy whistles and bells.
Not to long ago apple was signing ios 15 for the 13 I got to downgrade mine
I use an Android Phone (Pixel 6 Pro) myself but we use iPhones at work. Tbh I have experienced way more annoying bugs on iOS than on Android (e.g. not being able to hang up calls sometimes).
To be clear: I am not hating on Apple, I own an iPad which I absolutely love and I may get a MacBook at some point and there are many things I like about the iPhones at work but my experience with iOS was worse than on Android. I have experienced my fair share of bugs on Android, but for a platform which has stability as one of its main selling points this is kinda bad
I consider myself very lucky not to have these major bugs. I’ve been getting the usual UI bugs and stuff, bad battery in early version, ect. But nothing phone breaking, or making me want to go back to iOS15

After watching this I can comfortably say that I’m NOT alone with all these bugs. The worst I had was the inability of SENDING SMS after uploading to iOS 16 for like a solid two months and a half (yes, I do send SMS to some contacts). And if it is true that iOS 17 comes to fix all those bugs then I’m in, but for Christ sake do it sooner
No auto spam filtering either
Apple be like: "No SMS for you!"
A strange bug I've seen quite a bit: The clock on the springboard will skip a minute. i.e. it will be on 08:18 for two minutes, then change to 08:20. Lock screen clock has always been up to the minute. The clock app seems fine as well. From what I've read, this bug has been around since at least iOS 9 (2015).
Oh wow, that’s a long time!
I had an iPhone X from 2018-2020 and this bug really irritated me
This used to happen to me on my iPhone 4 using iOS 7.
I believe this problem still exists, also this issue sometimes occur on my iPad and iPhone!
Hopefully IOS 17 will sort out several bugs that exists on IOS.
This bug is annoying me since years...
I had a bug where widgets disappear from the homescreen and leave the space blank, that one is a classic for me. It has happened a lot of times now, and the blank screen has happened many times too but after a few minutes I can get back to using it again without restarting, but it definitely is annoying
Same here - the third party planner widget on my Mac crashes all the time and only reinstalling the whole thing helps
This happens daily for me
My Pixel 6A is better than iPhone Pro devices with 120 hz 😂
I can never take a screenshot of it but I also have the AirPods connected notification bug on my 13 Pro Max (the one that would show in landscape even when holding it in portrait). Otherwise 16.4 and 16.4.1 have been bug-free for me so far. Around the same stability and is as bug-free as iOS 15
Glad to hear I’m not the only one encountering many bugs lately on my iPhone 12 mini.
The most annoying is the bug where the screen stays dark. But it always unfreezes after 10 seconds orso without crashing.
Oh well, I see it as a kind reminder how awesomely stable complex software has become in the last 15 years.
Honestly, I upgraded to the iPhone 14 PM only because Apple would not help me either through customer support or via Genius Bar. I had terrible bugs mainly on the 12PM though. Those included: (as unbelievable as it sounds) it called 911 TWICE by itself. Sometimes volume on headphones would skyrocket and hurt my ears if I pressed the volume down button. It restarts by itself with no reason whatsoever. Bugs at notification, similar to yours. And many more.
I took it to the Genius Bar, explained all my problems, and they said my phone was fine. I did pay for AppleCare so I thought they would be able to fix my volume or my AirPods. But they said I had no problems. I couldn’t continue with them since they didn’t seem to want to help me.
Later that month I decided to get the Note 20U 5G. Worked like a charm. No volume problems leaving me with short bursts of tinnitus. Notifs we’re great, my phone never restarted, and it just worked. Downside was battery, so I kept using my 12PM for trips and video.
I upgraded to the 14PM 2 years later. I have had those exact issues you describe. Although I just got the phone about 2 months ago, I am contemplating trading it in at Samsung OR see if these issues will be fixed in iOS 17.
If anyone has a solution please let me know. Thank you for reading my essay, albeit unorganized. 😂 have a good one y’all.
One thing that absolutely drives me mad is that iOS doesn’t accept touches when the screen is animating something like a message dialog or page slide. I find myself repeating touches 2-3 times before it’s registered because I haven’t waited for the entire transition animation to be over. It makes it so frustrating to use the phone!
Screen hitches, touch failure, and un-fluid scrolling was one of the things I used to bash android for
@@minekey29348 doesn't exist in Samsung 😊
maybe a fix would be to turn of animations?
This is why i never update my phone if it works just fine as is. My iPhone 13 pro max still using the OS that it came with iOS 15.1.1
@@austinmahone6322 while that’s great in order to make sure your phone remains stable and snappy, it’s also extremely risky, as you’re forfeiting any security patches that come with the firmware updates. There’s been at least a couple serious patches since 15.1.1.
I would also like to see a more basic mode, for older people the new ways of doing things is too complicated
A basic mode really isn't needed, apple just needs to get their shit together again and start making software that is intuitive and easy to use.
All i'm going to say is i accidentally read ballistic...
Get with the times boomer

@@TheEviltaco666 Seems like common courtesy and politeness went out of fashion for you, too.
@@TheEviltaco666Yeah well my Dad is getting up there in years and he just can’t learn anything new anymore. Guess who has to explain it to him several times a day. To make it even worse he also uses a PC which makes things more difficult in trying to integrate his information across platforms for me. I stopped using Windows over a decade ago so not that much is familiar anymore, and it’s an exercise in frustration. He could definitely use an interface that was more “Fisher Price” and TBH most of the features they have in the OS I don’t even use.
My iPhone 13 has been acting weird as well. I couldn’t play videos in my camera roll, I couldn’t open any group chat in messages, I couldn’t send photos or videos, nor could I delete photos or videos. And while watching this video, for some reason it asked me to sign into iCloud, when I didn’t have any other app opened in the background
About the not responsive touch screen when picking up a call: it's a bug that's been there for a while, it's more prevalent now, but I remember it happening during iOS 6. I've found a work around though, when you receive a call from a locked screen, hold your finger for about a second on the green circle before starting the swipe instead of trying to do it all in a single motion. I don't know if it's garanteed to work 100% of the time though.
The bugs, instability, and incompatibility in MacOS is what drove me to windows. I still stuck by IOS until last year when my iPhone 12 started having many of the issues featured in this video. I am a pilot, and so getting stuck somewhere unable to use my phone is a scary thought. Over this year I was getting maybe 4 hours of battery life when not even touching it and my charging port died so I could only use magsafe. I work with android a lot for work and school and have always found it to run better and offer so much more than ios, so this month I made use of AT&T's Samsung deal and traded the 12 in for a S23. I can say android is a welcome breath of fresh air. I am never going back.
did you really get a more stable and bug-free experience on windows? i had a completele reverse experience, so im curious why that is
also which version of macos and windows did you use?
@@spaghettiiq I did. I didn't even buy a PC for the sake of switching, I just wanted a gaming rig (HP Omen 30L). I still thought MacOs was superior, thinking that the bugs and compatibility issues would be even worse on windows. The machine shipped before windows 11, so it ran 10. I was instantly amazed at how smoothly it ran. It felt so much more complete. Within a day I made it my main computer. Even after switching to windows 11, the only time it has ever crashed it was entirely my fault. During my first year at college the day before classes started I nearly threw my 2018 iPad Pro, which had been my "laptop" for several years, out the window after (routine) ios issues. I went to best buy and bought (literally) the last laptop in the store, a low-end lenovo IdeaPad 3 15.6 inch. Almost two years later it has nevet let me down.
In fact, I still use my mac mini (Core i7 64GB ram 2TB ssd) as my home desktop when I'm at school. I am getting a new laptop that will fit my needs better for next semester and my lenovo will replace the mini as my home computer, purely because it has been more reliable. The mini won't go waste, tho. I have some plans for how to still use it.
To answer your question, yes, absolutely yes I have gotten a FAR better experience with both windows and android. I have gotten it from both a low-end and a high-end PC, and the same for android. I have family and friends who still use MacOS religiously and refuse to believe that its the problem. They complain about all the same bugs, and the ones with Apple silicon have it the worst. (Also I always and still do update all my computers to the latest software version, so I was and am running the latest version of MacOS).
Sorry for my little essay. I just feel very strongly about how Apple lied to us for so long. (Sincs 2012 for me).
@@upsidedownairplane4866 interesting for sure
ive been using windows on a pc since around 7/8 years ago
starting with 7, then 10
only recently around half a year ago now i had to get a laptop for school so i started using an old 2011 macbook air and despite being 11 years old for general usage it felt way better than my way more powerful pc
no crashes, pretty much 0 glitches, compared to windows 10 which for me blue screened atleast once every two weeks on a new install
december last year i upgraded to the 2021 14 inch m1 pro mbp and its been great, definitely noticed more glitches in post macos11 than on osx, which sucks, but nothing that breaks everything, mostly just visual stuff (im also on public beta versions, so not surprised), definitely way less than ive had on windows 10 though, for the amount of visual glitches ive had on macos13 ive had 1.5 times the amount on win10, but no critical system breaking glitches unlike win10
tried windows 11 too in virtualization (as trying to get it on my "unsupported" pc is a pain) and its terrible, from what i saw less glitches than 10, but ive not used it as extensively, so maybe not, but they completely destroyed anything it had going for it in terms of customization, not to mention the horrendous design (like genuinely, why can i not remove the network icon from the now grouped notification tray icons in the system tray area??)
from windows 7 it seems for me each version of windows gets worse and worse, especially as a power user...
not to mention microsoft needing to push everything they make down your throat, forces you to use an online account unless you literally dont have a connection,
you need to spend extreme amounts of time to get rid of their stuff properly
you cannot even remove edge without something breaking, and if you do not completely remove it, just unpin, remove shortcuts, etc, and not use it, ive had it multiple times after a windows update on win11 ADD ITSELF BACK to the desktop, taskbar, and start menu, like what the fuck?
also after the same updates it added back the search box and task view buttons to my taskbar, after i deliberately removed them, again, wtf
on macos you can just click 2 times to not use an appleid,
some stuff you cant remove (which i do hate), like stocks, siri, photos, home, photobooth, because its for some reason in the read-only part of the system, but you can just not use them, and ignore them completely, they dont randomly open, try to get you to use them, or give you popups when you try to use an alternative app
to change from safari to a different browser you just change it in settings after downloading another one, it doesnt give you like 3 banners when you search for a different browser (like seriously, why is edge modifying google search's html for specific results for its own purposes, wtf)
having ads and preinstalled bs on a PAID and pretty damn expensive operating system is such a joke, gotta love having tiktok and candy crush in the win11 startmenu by default
not to mention windows has been losing functionality and been getting more frustrating to use every update
ive pretty much abandoned my pc for anything but games with anticheat that doesnt work under virtualization, nothing else, even a lot of games work on my apple silicon mac, definitely more than i expected, some run way better than on my pc, even though they are under so many translation layers its funny
(of course my pc is very old by now, but still)
sorry for the rant too :)
what in particular about macos did you have constant issues with?
also, could you elaborate in compatibility issues? im interested in what you mean by that
Yep I transitioned from apple to samsung many years ago and it's no comparison . The s10 plus and s23 ultra are incredible
@T-pose Koichi windows 12 has gotten alot of bugs fixes recently so for me it's been running smoothly
I have a brand new iPhone 14. It’s a few weeks old and by far the worst smart phone I’ve ever owned. It’s total garbage.
Traded in my 14PM 3 months ago for an S23 Ultra because of 16 bugs and continued lack of innovation on the iPhone overall. There's a few things I miss, but not enough to bring me back. Apple needs to step up their game.
I've been having many bugs with iOS 16's new lock screen. At the beginning of iOS 16's release, I would get a bug where the notifications wouldn't let me pull them up to see the rest of my notifications. That doesn't often happen anymore, but I get many UI glitches when playing music with album artwork. Overlapping notifications, distorted album artwork icons, and weird spacing. I believe that since the lock screen is so different and new that Apple will definitely fix this with iOS 17
The first issue has happened to me at least once. My iphone 14PM also still gets hot sometimes with just watching TH-cam videos or streaming music since launch. I hope Apple keeps addressing these nasty bugs. I've never seen ios get this bad when it comes buggy ios releases.
It’s usually caused by picture in picture feature. The only way that working for me is to disable the PIP feature on youtube setting. MEH 🙁
Ugh after i update mine my phone keep ghost touch and my back cam becomes blurry
I am currently running iOS 16.5 developer beta, and I haven't seen any of these bugs, I have had a few in the past but after updating everything went away. Maybe they're getting things under control.
I've always wanted a bug collection, and my phone is the perfect curator! It's amazing how these bugs manage to find their way into every nook and cranny of my device.
Just experienced this as well.. so frustrating. It happens several times in a row, I thought it was a new app I installed. So frustrating.. unacceptable for an expensive flagship phone to be dying suddenly and no way to fix
I watched and read every single iOS 16 review that I could and decided not to update from iOS 15.1.1. I have an iPhone 13 Pro Max which is still on iOS 15.1.1 and the only downside of it is no new emojis. I hope Apple fixes the problems so that me and others like me use the newest and best iOS updates.
Wait iOS doesn't force you to upgrade?
@@MRJMXHD Apple sure as heck does prevent you from DOWNgrading no doubt.😒
How can I downgrade though? I got my iPhone x a month ago, it was on iOS 15 but thought it’s gonna be better if I upgraded it.
@@RedGirlChannel if you don’t have a backup file of the previous version stored somewhere, you just can’t
@@RedGirlChannel only possible if your already jailbreak with TSS Saver or you have a computer so you can get blobsaver.
I've been saying this for a while. iOS is trending downward. I still absolutely love the OS and the device itself, but after notifications seemingly have gotten shafted over the past 5 or so years, everything else seems to just fall apart. About a month ago my phone would not turn on after charging fully. I had to DFU mode it and restart the phone that way.
I hope Apple changes something before their OS eats it own tail.
Considering they are watering down all of their software, I doubt it
yep, imessage is not working for me and facetime also, but at the same time, im not down to update it to ios17 since things will get worse, and battery will last less 🤦♂️🤦♂️
Thank you Luke for bringing his up!! The screen going black issue is something I noticed since upgrading to iOS 16 on my 13 Pro Max. Now the weird phenomena gets triggered when I put my iPhone for charging overnight and when I wake up my phone is like not responding with black screen. That means it suppresses the alarm also. Which almost got me late for work once. Since then I always make sure to charge my iPhone before I go to sleep or if I have to charge overnight, then I keep a backup alarm on my note 20 or apple watch -_-..The only way I could get out of it is if I connect back to charger and attempt to hard reset at least 5-6 times, taking to apple store two times didn't help either as they just reset the software and gave it back saying its fine. Almost thought of selling off my 13 Pro Max and getting a 14 Pro Max, but then I came across a bunch of reddit threads that discussed the same issue on the 14 PM also. So, ditched that plan.
To fix, click volume up then volume down, then hold the side button until you see the logo. This will force reset the iPhone, quick and easy. Still a frustrating bug though.
@@prhawkeye Agreed.Well that is the only thing that worked for me. But the frustrating part is this works only when I plug my iPhone to a charger or PC after a few attempts. The iPhone unplugged doesn't seem to restart with this technique. Luckily I have not yet faced this when I'm outside like Luke.
The visual bugs is something that I have not had on my iPhone 14 Pro Max, but a few weeks ago my devices decided to forget all of my Wi-Fi passwords... so I had to reenter the same password on my iPhone, iPad and MacBook. I work with IT for a company in Sweden and some of the users have had similar issues with their iPhones as well.
The same happened to me with my 11 Pro. I somehow can't remember if it was after I installed the iOS update or not. Do you know that? Was that after iOS update or just suddenly out of nothing?
@@hanushasl It was suddenly, no update or anything at that time. It was really wierd.
@@XandeR136 Ok, thanks for clarification. I was also thinking it was rather not related, but wasn't sure.
This is why I love Android so much more lmao
It's way more stable
That’s the reason I’m not updating now. I have an iPhone 14 pro (that obviously did come with iOS 16). But my iPad Pro M1 is still running iPadOS 15. It’s not the perfect iOS version, but it’s indeed way better than 16.4. The battery life is significantly worse on iOS 16, a 2018 iPad Pro that I have updated, dies way faster without using it, it’s just simply a shame now.
the only issue I ever had was the screen rotating and half of it missing, the other half covered by an invisible keyboard.
The other issue I had since I got my iPhone 2 years ago, is using spotlight for searching google, it opening the search I typed in, and then going back to whatever window was open before in safari (usually another search). Really annoying to lose everything you typed. Same on iPad.
As for it getting worse; I do notice apps being buggier lately, mostly Whatsapp has been interesting.
That said, and I'm probably going to get flak for this; I have a Mac Mini M1, Macbook Air M1, iMac 2017 21.5", iPad 2021, iphone 11 and an Apple watch SE. And as much as I like all of them, the one that is most replaceable, is the iPad. Other than the ecosystem, a good Android phone is as good as a good iPhone. Sure, if you compare a 250 dollar android phone to an 1100 dollar iPhone, absolutely, the iPhone will win. And sure, there's shitty expensive android phones (The pixel 6 was absolute horror for instance) but if you are sick of iPhone, I genuinely think it's the devices that is most similar to the competition.
4:18 yup. Until the most recent updates, this was an issue for me for a while
I wonder if these issues are worse for the iPhone 14. On my 13 I haven’t had much besides the unresponsive screen when you try to wake it, and that only been like 2 or 3 times in the last couple months. Also I had the weather app break and show nothing a few days ago, but I assumed that was some server issue not iOS
My 13 Pro max was SOLID, I almost regretted getting the 14 Pro max as it was buggy in the first week! Been alright since then, but I have noticed bugs in the last few days
Finally, someone is pointing this out!
7:02 This Airpods thing happens to me regularly, about 3 times a week AT LEAST!
it‘s very bad for me, i’ve been an iPhone user since Iphone 3gs, and I would say my experience for the last one or two years are very very very bad, i’m not kidding,3 days ago I I started to seriously thinking about buying myself a Samsung due to the unstable buggy experience in ios16, the FaceTime is pretty much unusable since the update, and I do a lot of FaceTime due to recently I moved overseas to work, and all those buggy things pretty much kills the experience I have for the past 10years, the only thing that stopped me from using the android is,I simply has too many data and files that works only with mac and iPhone, and this pissed me off even more, cuz I feel like I’m on a bus that I can’t get off.
I've gone through every iteration of iOS since I bought my first iPhone, a 3GS. Honestly, I have NEVER had any problem with iOS. I've heard of plenty of people complaining about bugs over the years, but I have yet to experience any of them.
Same experience here
Please start using your phone to experience bugs!!
Good for you.
Just because you didn't have those issues, doesn't mean it magically doesn't happens to others, you're just having a fluke
I've went through this annoying system crash where it force restart my system several times, and even got the looping flash apple logo problem
I’ve also never had any of these issues
I have a 13 and the weather app craps out routinely like you describe. It has locked the screen like you discussed here, but that's been rare. In general, I have noticed people with older iphones have far fewer problems. Something about the 14 seems way off in general. Does the camera still vibrate in that weird way?
one time my phone just randomly started to move around like the favourites bar was off center
When this lock up happens (I've only had it happen twice in since the iPhone 12) you really only have to force reset the phone. Click volume up, volume down then hold the side button until you see the logo. It is super quick. This is a frustrating bug though, but easy to counter with a couple of key clicks.
I’ve had it happen once, months ago on my 13 Pro and that’s what I did. Wish Luke would mention that instead of encouraging DFU mode reset. That’s not even necessary.
Solved - forced reboot - this on my 12 mini the same way. Occurred 3 times during the last about 6 months.
I’m thinking maybe his phone is defective because I have a 14PM and have gotten all the other bugs but it has never just locked up.
Unbelievable! I never upgraded from my iPhone 13 Pro Max and had a good as usual experience with iOS 16. I wonder if the software for the iPhone 14 variant might be connected to the bugs.
WE NEED TO BRING BACK IOS 6 UI
The only one I had was the 'No Weather Data' but it only lasted a couple of days. I think that probably was a server side issue.
I agree, I had the same issue on a couple devices at the same time.
Yearly September iOS updates do generally start off a bit buggy and unstable I find, but within a few months they start to level out and become stable. However with iOS 16 I feel its not greatly improved since its initial release
Encountered a bug while watching your video😂
Damn!!! ios sucks 💀😂
I get an unresponsive touch screen very often, I know it software rather than hardware. Happens to random apps, which I’ll have to close and open again
It's kinda funny, one of the reasons I picked up an iPhone (but an old XS Max for 3d touch lol) was because of more consistent updates, yet I'm currently staying on jailbroken 15.1 instead of updating
Jailbroken iphones sucks ass
I don't remember having any issues like this on my Galaxy S22 Ultra. I have definitely noticed more bugs in iPad OS's UI than Samsung's One UI on both the phone and the tablet.
Samsung one UI is bad designed but works
@@MrsNumeratorka I have to agree 😂 with this statement.
However there aren't any dropped calls there.
One UI is 99% stable, with Samsung flow it can be truly said it's android ecosystem.
if it was android or oneui u will see tons of youtubers talking about it but if it is ios no one talks
salut to you man
thats because android is much more popular and its open source
I can't stands all the over complex functions of iPhone, like when it puts the camera in LiveMode automatically. There's so many user functions they add that make everything so clumbsy to use.
During an event last year, my iPhone 12 Pro Max completely locked up on iOS 15.4. It was so bad that I could not use my phone during the event to be in constant contact with my team. It was absolutely infuriating. Fortunately, my friend used a developer tool to reset and get it to work again.
I haven’t had most of these bugs on my 13 Pro Max but definitely have seen them mostly on the 14 Pro/Max, I do think the rumors were true that the 14 Pro lineup was supposed to have the 3nm architecture but Apple changed it last second to the 4nm one and it’s still not optimized properly.
So for all the people with the black screen bug it happened to me when i had a screen protector covering the entire screen along with the notch . It fixed itself when i got a another screen protector with a cutout for the notch
I’ve been using an iPhone 14 Pro since October. I also use AirPods Pro daily. I’m usually running the latest software within days of release.
I’ve never experienced ANY of these bugs. Seriously, none of them.
But if I had as many problems as Luke and others claim to have, and a reset from scratch (not a restore from backup) didn’t fix it, then I’d be getting the hardware checked out.
Same here… I’ve had zero problems on my 14 Pro Max. My buddy had a problem where his 14PM locked while validating an update and the screen wouldn’t accept input. His phone was just stuck with the ‘Validating Update’ screen for hours. He finally did a hard reset and it fixed it. Same thing happened to my wife on her 12PM a few days later. Outside of those examples, I’ve been pretty lucky, and I use my phone a lot during and outside of work.

All these issues that you're describing I've never experienced that on Android. Lol

I regret the decision of swapping to an iPhone 14 Pro Max from my usual upgrade of a Samsung Android flagship EVERY TIME I reach for my phone. I HATE this thing. The touch screen is clunky. It often doesn't respond to touch especially in corners and especially if its a small button I'm trying to hit. The UI is clunky and unintuitive. Why is the back button for most apps a VERY small arrow under the other arrow that is above it in the top left that exits out of the app entirely?! Talk about clunky just make it a swipe! Speaking of which the amount of times this phone mistakes a VERY clear swipe up for a swipe to the left or right is astonishing! I get apps that crash all the time. I have gotten all of the Facetime bugs you mentioned. I swapped to an iPhone when I had an opportunity for an upgrade because I am in nursing school and everyone in my cohort has iPhones so I figured it would make it easier to communicate with my fellow classmates. I regret ever swapping and will never, NEVER buy another iPhone as long as I live. I've had this PoS nearly a year now and I consistently run into little buggy glitches that all add up to such a poor user experience. I do not understand why people love these phones so much? It really is a cult like mentality. I didn't enjoy my iPhone back when I had an iPhone 5 and I still don't enjoy it now years later with the 14 Pro Max Apples alleged premium experience of a flagship. This thing is horrid. As soon as I can get rid of this thing and get another Samsung I will not hesitate.
This has been happening to me over the past few months with the camera app opening with a black screen, keyboard not showing 😂 and the screen being landscape so I can only see the middle square of the UI with the top and bottom off the actual display.
The annoying part is volume control which doesn’t go in intervals but big jumps
Also the black screen thing is a regular thing
A few things I've noticed:
- Sometimes when you open the notifications on lockscreen, they will all be square shaped for a second or two before becoming bubble shaped again.
- When playing around with the rubber band animation that happens when you reach an end while scrolling on lockscreen, going all the way to the top, sliding down slightly and then slowly sliding back up... instead of just bouncing back, it instaltly just snaps back with no animation at all.
iOS 16 was so bad it made me go get a Samsung instead.
I’ve definitely noticed the increase in bugs over the years. It’s an unfortunate situation brought in by becoming more and more and more complex. They really need to devote more resources to debugging. That said, it may not be all that much better with an Android either, as bugs are just a cat and mouse game.
That said some long-lasting bugs have seemed to be finally fixed, accidental or not. My main one was when I’d set to “play next” in music, occasionally it would decide to just ignore that request.
As somebody who uses Android, Android has bugs too and I've seen them. But þey've never been as weird or inconvient as the ones in þis video.
@@dsihacks my favorite one on Android when I did use it was when I’d move an app to the SD, it would work fine for a few weeks, then go corrupt or something.

@@computernerdinside installing apps on the SD card.... Forgot we used to do those...😅
But man, I think you haven't used good phones, and that too from Android 8 and up ( or use root to move apps to SD). They are not an issue anymore, you can't move apps to SD cards( even on Samsung's) and video calls don't heat up the device like in the past, even on low end phones.

0:01 - Sadly this perma-sleep bug is still present in iOS 17. Apple failed to fix it.
Disclaimer: at some point it got better. (the themes one at least)
I've been having LOTS of bugs in the books app. In iOS 15 it worked perfectly, then they went and changed the whole UI and now it's trash. Sometimes it forgets the color theme, using almost white text in white background. Other times does the opposite in dark mode. It's impossible now to zoom in an image (it goes max zoom when tapping an image and it can only be dragged with two fingers and it feels buggy). Because i use an iPhone 8, i can see the page have square borders and then snap to rounded corners when dragging it away (the one to close the book), maybe they forgot square screens exist?
(This one is macOS related) sometimes the book app is a white window, it cannot be interacted with and only fixes itself by restarting the mac, closing the app does nothing.
AND THE WORST OF ALL, they removed the 3d paper animation and now the page just glides to the sides, it looks generic and sad.
they just added the paper fold animation back in the beta 🎉🎉
Blame apple for tampering with your device and slowing it down every single year
New bug: my wallpaper turns black and I have to reboot my phone to get it back
Regarding the bug in the beginning:
This typically happens at random when connecting your AirPods to the device. The easiest fix (for me at least) is to put my AirPods back in their case, wait a second, then try again.
This happens to me on the daily at least few times a month
@@jesusamenbro No disrespect, but it can either happen daily or a few times a month. 😂😂
This has happened to me before I ever had AirPods. It was an iPhone 7 Plus some years ago
@@siloPIRATE I've never experienced a problem like this before until iOS 16.0 beta 2 and newer on my iPhone 11
The only bug that happens quite often for me is the volume level animation when I turn the screen
That's the only one I have as well. Do you have the 14 PM? I have the 13 PM.
I have this one quite often. iPhone 12 Pro Max.
Thank GOODNESS I'm not the only one these bugs have been happening too!
Android has always had the best operating system in my opinion. I daily drive iPhone but I do so because of the hardware and the ecosystem (watch, airpods, etc), not because of iOS. The operating system has been Android's biggest strength and the gap is just getting a little wider now.
Having used both platforms heavily over the last 15 years, I couldn’t disagree more.
@@OleHippy Yeah, I've used both heavily from the beginning too. I always have the latest Pixel and latest iPhone. Agree to disagree, Android is far superior.
Luke I think you’ve got to remember certainly the last few years due to the pandemic it’s caused real problems not just with iOS but also macOS. Having said that I think Apple has taken its eyes off the ball in quality controls within its software development in its aim to add more and more features. I am hoping that this will be the year when they just concentrate on sorting out all the issues with iOS and macOS.
There are a lot more bugs on the top tier IPhones than lower tier stuff, my iPhone 11 suffers way less than my iPhone 14 Pro Max
I appreciate making this video. I totally agree with your opinion. I wish that Apple more focuses on quality control of IOS instead of adding unreliable new features
Very interesting video, I have not had really any problems with iOS 16 on my iPhone 12 Pro so I wonder if these bugs affect the newer phones more? I thought 14 and 15 were worse for me than 16 has been. very excited to get iOS 17 though if its a snow leopard type deal I would be pretty cool with that.
I have a 14 pro max and I haven’t experienced a single bug yet, everything works perfectly fine for me right now
@@cody7068 as long as you won't install any 3rd party bs app, it will work fine. I assume from the videos he posted that people had too many junk apps installed.
I have a 12 Pro and I've been getting camera, home screen, and lock screen issues. Hopefully iOS 17 irons things out all around
Same here, 16.4 on my 12 pro pretty stable at the moment
More bugs, yes. But also too many unnecessary features and complicated swipe and overlay options. Sometimes more features are not a good idea. The UI was great and they just could not stop. The iphone's simplicity was that most appealing feature and it's gone.
A bug I've been noticing is that if I try to take a photo when I'm listening to music it just totally breaks the Apple Music app until I take out my headphones and relaunch the app.
The music app is so buggy. It’s annoying.
@@lilskool510 I love Apple Music more than the others, but the app has recently been bad for me as well on iOS
iOS 16 actually made me switch to Android. Shifted from an iPhone 12 to a Pixel 6. The shift was never a problem since I was never too deep into the ecosystem.
Same! iOS 16 shortened my battery life by 2 hours and introduced so many bugs it made my phone almost unusable. Switched to Pixel 7, not only is Android 13 so much more stable but there's so much freedom on this side!
I have never even come across a single "bug" on Android since I started using it 6 months ago.
Thanks for making this. Jon Prosser made a similar video back when we were on iOS 15. Apple's really dropping the ball.
Edit: I went from an iPhone 12 Pro to a Zenfone 9 and haven't regretted it a bit. I still like iPhones but Apple's gotta get their s*** together
"We don't sell junk'', said Steve Jobs.
But they did
😂😂😂😂
sometimes when I hit the lock button, it remains on the screen but touchscreen doesn't work until it finally goes black 15 mins later
Good to see I’m not alone with that black screen bug happened twice. There’s a chance that’s going to be fixed then!
The one very old thing I hate most (a bug kinda): setting alarm clock, and pressing ”save” too fast. If you don’t wait for the animation to stop, a wrong time will register.
And this: exporting a file to gmail app, you can’t change the sender email in the popup, like you can in the gmail app itself. I guess I’m in a minority owning multiple email addresses, but how many years can that be like that? (Not apples fault but googles probably)
Oh! And this: when filling email in forms, it will always suggest a wrong one, and sometimes it won’t remember my main address even if I write first letters. No matter how I set up my own contact, it will be like that.
Here in the UK I’m not experiencing any sorts of bugs, just hope you get it fixed
EDIT: I am experiencing some bugs such as the one with the AirPods and occasionally my wifi just dropping out then reconnecting but I haven’t really experienced anything major
@Spinosaurus well not really im in uk and ive heard people experiencing bugs with their iphones like the facetime ones probably just chance, although there is different modes of iphone and software versions for different countries but they're mostly the same and wont be immune from bugs
Errr I’m on iOS 16 in the UK and I’ve experienced loads of bugs
@Spinosaurus I'm in Europe and have never experienced any of these bugs. Although might not have anything to do with Europe.
@@RuthlessAfro4692 I have experienced some bugs but after updating to iOS 16.4.1 most have been fixed apart from the AirPods bug where the connection screen breaks
I have noticed the battery getting smashed with the nothing happening during my sleep time.
For quite a while my Apple products have been buggy and acting up, so I'm glad that Luke is bringing some of these issues to light!
iOS 17 is still quite buggy
