This is completely untrue because I do not have any such issue on my iPhone 12 Pro iOS 16.5.1(c)
The impact of an iOS update glitch can vary depending on the specific nature of the glitch and how it interacts with different devices. Here are two possible scenarios: The case referred by you falls under category 2.
- iOS Update Glitch Affecting All Devices: In some cases, an iOS update glitch can indeed affect all devices that have been updated to the same version of iOS. This can happen if the glitch is related to a core system component or a common feature that is present across all devices. When such a glitch occurs, it's likely to be widespread and affect a large number of users who have updated their devices.
- Device-Specific Issue: On the other hand, certain glitches may be specific to certain device models or configurations. This can happen due to hardware differences, software variations, or other factors that are unique to certain devices. In such cases, the glitch may only affect a subset of devices, while others may remain unaffected.
Furthermore, some users may encounter glitches due to interactions with specific apps, settings, or third-party accessories that are not universal across all devices. In these cases, the glitch may appear to be device-specific, as it only affects devices with those particular configurations.
Apple's iOS updates typically go through rigorous testing and quality control to minimize the occurrence of glitches. However, it is not uncommon for some unexpected issues to arise, given the complexity of software development and the wide range of devices and configurations that iOS supports.
When users encounter glitches after an iOS update, it's essential to report the issues to Apple through official channels. Apple typically releases subsequent updates, often referred to as "bug fixes" to address known issues and provide improvements and stability enhancements.
