I installed iOS and iPadOS 16.0 in early July and I am currently on iOS and iPadOS 16.2 beta 3. I ran into a couple of minor glitches and a few new features that were not working, but all those were resolved long before the 16.1 beta that was released in early October. The .1 and .2 releases seem to be pretty routine “touch-ups”. There are some really cool new features in both, but many of those require hardware features found only in the latest iPhones and iPads. Among the new features that do not rerquire new hardware are enhancements to Focus feature including different screens and watch faces for each focus. IPadOS 16, continues to differentiate itself by adding real multi-tasking in Stage Manager and as promised the first of new “Industrial strength” applications in the form of the complete suite of Affinity’s graphics applications Designer 2, Photos 2, and Publisher 2 with all the functionality and power of their macOS siblings. My wife and daughter upgraded their devices to 16.0 with absolutely no drama and it went so smoothly they thought it was an upDATE not an upGRADE.
