r/iPhone16Pro

Hi,

I am owning an iPhone 16Pro and have heard that Apple slows devices after some updates.

Can anyone tell when to stop updating? And by update i mean OS/software update.

Thanks.

My 14 pro max has 96% Battery Health ? If I update to 16 pro max . Will that give me more Smoother UI animations ? Or will it be the same ?

Contact on searching dong show up, clicking on names for call the screen is too laggy and becomes unresponsive for a second, the overall experience has worsened after the ios 27 update,

Is anyone else facing the same? What is the remedy?

I’m using an iPhone 16 Pro with 95% battery health.
I recently updated to iOS 26.7.1 about 1 day ago, and since then I’ve noticed some unusual behavior:
• The phone is getting significantly hotter than usual, sometimes after only 5–10 minutes of normal use.
• I can feel quite a lot of heat on the back of the phone while using it.
• The phone also feels like its performance has degraded compared with before the update.
• Multiple times, the screen has suddenly become completely black.
• A small loading/spinning indicator appears in the center for around 2–3 seconds.
• After that, the Lock Screen appears, and whatever app I was using has been closed.
• The phone doesn’t seem to completely shut down. It seems more like the system crashes/restarts the UI and returns me to the Lock Screen.
I’m not sure whether this is related to the overheating, iOS 26.7.1, or something else.
Has anyone else experienced this on an iPhone 16 Pro or another iPhone after iOS 26.7.1?

noticed something today with my iPhone 16 Pro. At low brightness, especially with a white or light background, I can see a very subtle flickering or pulsing effect if I look closely.
It’s not strong or obvious, and I basically don’t notice it in dark mode. At higher brightness, it’s also much harder to see.
Has anyone else noticed this on their iPhone 16Pro? Is this normal?

I recently obtained an iPhone 16 pro max. I have a somewhat older car, I need to use an usb-c to usb-b connection as an aux to play music. I have bern using my iphone 14 to play music as I drive connecting to lightning- usb-b.

The connection is good, my cord charges for the new phone without a music connection. Im not sure what to do. Any help will be appreciated. Thank you
