Experiencing software issues with iPhone 16 Pro Max.

1) Mail app. does not make a sound, it works when it wants to, sometimes I will get a notification sound sometimes I will not, and that's only when is NOT a Gmail, if it's a Gmail forget about it, no sound whatsoever. I even spoke to apple customer care and he advise me to download the Gmail app which has been working great but again if I'm paying $1800 for a phone I want all features to work like they are supposed to.


2) LED Flash for alerts works only for phone calls not emails, not texts.


3) Siri... sometimes she works and responds, sometimes it doesn't.


Anyone else having issues?

My iPhone 16PM won’t answer phone calls sometimes. Screen just freezes and won’t allow me to answer. But I can text …. It honestly makes no sense. Flash light stopped working. It would say it was on but it wasn’t. WiFi goes off on its own… sounds like to me Apple scammed us and I’m pretty upset that I just paid 2,000 dollars for a phone that’s not functioning properly

Yes!!! This is insane. For this much payment are you kidding me? Siri hardly ever hears me or responds. The screen freezes so often on refreshing. Once phone was fully charged yet would not turn on. Every iPhone 16 Pro Max owner ought to get a refund and different phone unless the all these issues get resolved asap. So frustrating.

Hey thank you for the details. I just received my iPhone 16 Pro Max on 24 October and I am having the exact same issues. My Siri sometimes just decides not to work even the microphone to type the text so I have to constantly reset my phone for Siri to come back on also my cellular network it’s very very bad the phones constantly Heating and charging is very slow. I’m very very disappointed. I’ve contacted Apple and I even have AppleCare for it and the phone just hung up and didn’t even get back to me so now I have a 2 1/2 thousand dollar phone my iPhone 14 pro Max was 10 times better than this and the phone is right next to me as we speak my 16 pro Max is the same Telco network. The iPhone 14 Pro Max has four bars with 5G. My iPhone 16 has one bar with 4G. What do I do

I found iPhone 16 pro max to be extremely disappointing. My 12 pro max operates better. Been an iPhone user since 3GS but now after getting the 16 pro max, I doubt that I’ll get another iPhone. Will try to get rid of it and switch to another brand. Too many problems. Sluggish, slow, heats up, screen doesn’t respond all the time, etc. I also lost my precious notes and WhatsApps because of iCloud and Apple’s complex syncing and backup process. The worst part is that Apple did nothing to make this right.
