The update is generally stable. I have an iPhone 14 Promax.. There is a problem with text messages that come as new. The performance of the phone is very good, but not better than the 13 Promax in terms of performance and battery with the 15.7 update.
All friendliness.
Can someone tell us about the battery consumption situation in the new iOS?
For me, if the battery performance is lower (consumption is higher)
You don't need to update
A phone we use is better than a phone whose battery we are afraid of dying
@Bahaa Al-Sulaibi Thank you for your comment! As for the battery consumption mode in iOS 16.4, Apple has improved battery performance and reduced battery consumption in this update. If your device is working fine without issues, it is recommended that you update it to take advantage of these improvements. And don't forget to take a backup before updating! 😊
Peace be upon you, I am Jazzy Promax 10
Would you advise me to talk to you, although Jazz asked me to update it?
@ela Wen Thanks for your comment! If your device is working fine without any issues, it is best to update it to iOS 16.4 to improve its performance and fix bugs. You can update by going to Settings -> General -> Software Update. Don't forget to take a backup before updating! 😊
How 10 Promax This is a new invention
I have the same problem
Senders appear as new (sending messages for the first time)
The sender's name appears twice in the messages, despite their presence in the messages previously
@Hussein Elsarhany Thanks for your comment! We recommend that you restart your device. If the problem persists, you can contact Apple Customer Service for further assistance.
The update has a problem with messages
Senders appear as new (sending messages for the first time)
Despite their existence in messages previously
That is, the name appears twice
Unfortunately even bank letters
@Medhat Soliman Thanks for your comment! It seems that there is a problem with your device after the update. We recommend that you contact Apple customer service or visit one of their authorized service centers to solve this problem.

Unfortunately, the update was not accepted (The update could not be verified) Verification of ios 16.4 failed because you are no longer connected to the Internet.
I'm still in the process of updating, but I have a problem from ios 16 about an hour.. I mean, why does the device restart for one time every once in a while, and the screen appears strangely for a few moments, after that it turns back on normally.. I hope they fixed this problem
Peace and mercy of God
The new emoji did not appear in this update in general. My iPhone XNUMX Pro is off. How do they appear? Is it with the emoji on the keyboard, or is it separate by itself?
Greetings
Honestly, Siri is still dangerous, especially in Arabic, it's great
Thanks for your comment, Mohamed! Yes, Siri got a lot better at Arabic with this update, and we're glad you enjoyed it.
There is still a problem, which is that Apple Maps does not work in Saudi Arabia until now! Despite the announcement of its availability in iOS 16! Weird thing!
Most Arab countries do not operate Apple Maps.
God bless you, thanks for updating
The update is underway, and God willing, we will see what makes us happy
@RASHED AW Thanks for your comment! Yes, updates are always important and should be downloaded to improve device performance and fix bugs. Have you updated your device to iOS 16.4? Share with us if you notice anything new that we didn't mention in this update! 😊
Very bad update
I updated where Siri in Arabic does not work, it tells me that I am having a problem with communication, only in English is it working
@no no thanks for your comment! It seems that there is a problem with the update with Siri in the Arabic language, we advise you to change the voice of Siri in the Arabic language as there is a new voice with this update
Siri's voice in Arabic is still bad, and the response speed is very poor. Google Assistant and advanced Google Maps with light stages from Apple
Peace, mercy and blessings of God be upon you. Yes, I have updated, but I do not have the option to isolate the sound, which is strange
@liamine Thank you for your comment! To activate the new sound isolation feature, during a call, you must pull down the Control Panel and then choose “Sound isolation during calls.” After activating this feature, you will notice a big difference in voice clarity during calls.
There is a very good feature of flipping the book, a good secret voice, and fixing errors. As for the emoji, they did not appear and do not exist, and what is their importance, even if hundreds of drawings appeared. Who uses them? Greetings to you
Thanks for your comment, Faris! Emoji are emoticons used in text messages and apps to express feelings and thoughts, and they add fun to conversations. Share with us if you have updated your device to iOS 16.4 and if you notice anything new that we did not mention in this update! 😊
Please how do we know the new sound insulation feature on iPhone XS max and 12 Pro Max
Thank you so much 🌹
Nice.
I liked the flip book feature in the Books app
Thanks for your comment, Os! Yes, the page-turning feature in the Books app is truly amazing, and the experience of reading books on Apple devices is second to none.
The best feature in the new system is the voice of Siri in Arabic, so that the voice became close to the human voice instead of the previously unhappy voice
@Nasser Alzayadi Thank you for your comment! Indeed, Siri's voice in the new system has become more close to the human voice, and this makes interacting with it more smooth and natural.
Unfortunately, the problem of lowering the screen for searching is still going on with this update
In my opinion, there is no solution for it, and Apple is unable to solve the problem, until the release of the iOS 17 update .. God knows best.
Unfortunately, none of my devices are supported by iOS 16
Not interested in buying a new iPhone!
And my policy on some devices is that I don't have iOS 14 or below, despite its final iOS 15 support! Only one device that has been updated to 15!
Of course, to complement the news, iOS 15.7.4 has been launched!
