Adam Kos Apple has released new operating systems for its entire product portfolio. While iOS and iPadOS are only decimal updates, macOS Ventura is the major release of the new system. And while I've already installed it on my backup Mac, there's really no reason to do so on the iPhone.
When iOS 16 was released in September, to my own surprise, I still had it on my iPhone that night. There was only one reason - the new lock screen looked enticing. What about the fact that after two days of trying on what would suit her best, I settled on one form and I still use it today. It's just a little different. But what reasons does Apple give me to install iOS 16.1?

Pavel Jelic Very few novelties, giant size
On the day the system is released, the servers are often overwhelmed, both the download and the installation itself are often delayed. With iOS 16, however, I hit the ideal window, dal Download and install and in about an hour and a half it was done. That evening, I tried the given news. But what does iOS 16.1 actually bring? Just waiting. First, the news that iOS 16.1 brings. It is about:
- Shared iCloud Photo Library (I don't have anyone to share with)
- Activities Live (I don't have an iPhone 14 Pro)
- Wallet and Key Sharing (I don't have anyone to share with)
- Matter support (no use yet)
- Books and hiding reader controls (I don't read e-books)
- Bug fixes (Messages don't work for me, I don't use Range or VPN)
Of course, we know from history many decimal updates that yielded even less. Here, I believe that the shared library may be to the taste of many, since macOS Ventura also brings it, but the update with nothing useful for me is a huge 13 GB for the iPhone 1,13 Pro Max. What does it mean? At least just over half an hour of downloading, because I don't have a fast internet connection, and then at least another half hour of waiting for the installation to finish, when you only see the company logo on the display and you can't do anything with it.

Background updates
It means that you will be blocked from receiving at least half an hour. Which he just doesn't want. Yes, there are automatic updates, but why didn't Apple finally understand that this is not the way to go? He is to be commended for his effort in systems. At one time, it will bring them to the whole world and for its wide portfolio, and it is unique in that, but the update can already be done smarter than by shutting down the device from its functionality.
The biggest news of iOS 16.1
Google provides an update feature on its Pixel phones that downloads and installs in the background, so it will be ready to deploy immediately and all you have to do as a user is to reboot your device. It means that you can still work with the device even during the installation. In addition, this function is to be spread among other OEM manufacturers, when, for example, Samsung stated that it will bring this meaning by installing updates as early as next year. And how long has it been since Apple threatened to optimize macOS install sizes, but it's still a matter of at least an hour before you download and install an update?
In terms of support, Apple has no competition, but it still loses considerably in certain techniques. It would certainly help if he finally removed his applications from the system and updated them continuously, i.e. through the App Store, not just by updating the entire system. It is true that he would then not be able to say how his Messages can do this and that in iOS 16, so perhaps a bad choice in terms of marketing, but users would be happy. For those now on older phones, which unfortunately are only a year old iPhone 13 and 13 Pro, the update doesn't really make much sense. But I'm definitely not saying don't install updates. Of course, I will also do it, I will just leave it for the weekend when I will not be pressed by working hours.
Ip 13 pro.. I agree that it doesn't bring me much, but they install anyway! If nothing.. I can finally see in the photos .. " " albums .. duplicates! Even if there isn't one, at least the album is added, so far it was only if he found one! And other nice little things. In addition, you can't escape anyway, with the next update, the machine will be installed and supplemented! Take, I have an iPad .. straight installation 16.1!!!! Finally .. if nothing .. thanks to the photos, notes, etc. So that it is finally in sync! So it's stupid not to install it! And you can use your phone!!!!! I normally use it all the time downloading and checking for updates !!!!!!!! Even at the moment of installation it doesn't work for a short while!!!! It's usually very fast!
Agree with Pavel. I can also work on the download and then the actual installation - sorry, but those 12 minutes won't kill me. I certainly wouldn't complain about that, given that I also have many years of experience with Apple and I remember the times when it was resolved that updates froze, data was deleted, and rollbacks were made (this was done just a few days after the release by downloading the zip from the Apple server) . Kudos to Apple that it's over! What bothers me is that Apple went down the path of mixing "operational" functions with administrative ones. If in 16.1 I can invoke the possibility of changing it (image, fonts, etc.) by "carelessly" leaning on the screen, it's stupid. OS updates and settings belong to a separate administrative section that I consciously work with. I don't know who wants it, the car doesn't ask me when I'm driving, what I want behind the tachometer - the setting of certain parameters is really on a different console, controlled in a different part.
I gave 25.10. Because I had to have an act because of the E-sim o2. It took about 30 minutes. Well done
