16.3 to 16.5 differences


Does anyone know the major difference or what I need to turn off or on. In 16.3 graphics and online games were fine but now in 16.4 and 16.5 games lag or disconnect or the animation are very bouncy and don't land right. Not to mention's my phone often over heats now with the normal daily stuff and the battery drains so fast. I also noticed my cellular service will drop bars from full to 2 or 3 or even change band and it's happening a lot with the last two updates what do I need to turn off or on to make this go back to how it was in 16.3

iPhone 13 Pro Max, iOS 16

If something had massively changed that caused this sort of problem, the forums would be flooded with posts about it. They are not. What is more likely is that there is something wrong with your phone that developed around the same time, sounds like it might be hardware.


I would start by backing up the phone and restoring it to factory state, preferably with a computer as that will load a new version of iOS. Then, do not reload your back up. Instead, test the phone to see if you're seeing the same issues. If you are not, it is likely that something that was installed on your phone previously was causing a problem. If you're still seeing the problem, it is likely that you have a hardware issue. In that case, contact Apple and arrange to have them run diagnostics.

Some are preset so I’m just trying to compare, to what I have I don’t turn them on but I noticed they are preset and I removed the beta profile a while back but I have noticed some are one that my friend didn’t have on even for 16.3 so I wondered why I have those on if the beta profile was removed over 6 months ago. So I was hoping to see someone else’s default list to compare but you can’t find that list anywhere.

My main thing is trying to figure out what massively changed from 16.3/16.4 to 16.4.1/16.5 because these last two updates have caused many issues with graphics and phone getting very hot and also issues with the cellular reception it’s caused it to fluctuate all the way down to two bars out of no where and then back to 5g but never to my 5 guc until I reset it. But the graphics issue and online items with graphics is my biggest issue/ concern as my phone didn’t have the issue prior. So I want to refresh those items.

Yeah others have had the issue I saw a bunch of post outside of here about it and people asking for help. So Yeah already tried that route too and have a ticket in but in meantime I’m looking for help if someone had the default list for that to compare. So I can start somewhere so if you have that and can share it cool if not I’ll wait to see if someone else does and can share theirs. Thanks

So are you telling me that by default all of these should be off ? Because I have seen their are one on by default but what I have noticed is there are ones on that my friend didn’t have on with her iPhone but when I reset they staff on, on my iPhone and I think that’s part of the issue I’m having. Do these very per iPhone or per cellular carry which are defaulted on ?
