iOS 16.0.2 is here – fixes issues with iPhone 14 series

A week after the launch of the iPhone 14 series, Apple launches a new update for its mobile operating system iOS. iOS 16.0.2 is now available for download and mainly fixes bugs and problems that occurred with the new smartphone generation.

iOS 16.0.2 released

Even though we couldn’t verify any of the issues during our iPhone 14 Pro review, some buyers complained about various bugs with the new smartphone generation.

The most important improvement of iOS 16.0.2 concerns the fix of the camera bug. It could happen that the camera showed unusual (and unattractive) shaking or jerking, especially with third-party apps. This bug should finally be a thing of the past thanks to the new OS update.

Furthermore, the new version of the operating system addresses the frequent queries for using the clipboard. Thus, it could happen with the iPhone 14 in all models that objects or texts that were copied to the clipboard regularly asked for permission when pasting.

“When copying and pasting content between apps, permission may be asked more often than intended,” Apple writes in the release notes of iOS 16.0.2. The new update also addresses this issue.

More bug fixes in iOS

When setting up the new iPhone 14 generation, it could also happen that the screen – when transferring data from the iCloud – remained black without further ado. The new update also takes care of this error and should eradicate it.

For owners of older models, especially the iPhone X, XE or iPhone 11, iOS 16 could cause the devices to no longer respond to touch inputs after maintenance. This problem is also fixed with the new update.
