apple Apple just released iOS 16.0.2 and it’s a quick but timely update. Here’s everything you need to know. MORE FROM FORBESApple AirPods Pro (2022) Review: Familiar Look, Great SoundBy David Phelan When Apple released iOS 16, it became obvious that updates were needed. An unprecedentedly early tracking came for iPhone 14 users, but that wasn’t enough. This is because some users have reported camera issues on the iPhone 14 Pro, for example, when taking photos using third-party apps like TikTok or Instagram. The most serious ones were camera shake (which is not good if you want your footage to stay pristine) and blurry photos. And then there was another issue: copying and pasting between apps could result in a frankly very annoying pop-up asking for permission to paste. Just when you didn’t need it. Now, iOS 16.0.2 is here to solve these issues. Make Forbes your destination for everything iOS. Read the full details of what’s in the release from me the moment it lands.

Which iPhones can run iOS 16.0.2?
Although iOS 16 runs on all iPhones from iPhone 8 onwards, this update mainly concerns the iPhone 14 series and the serious problems that have arisen. It’s not just for these phones though: there are fixes for problems on iPhones from iPhone X onwards.
How to get it
Updating is very simple: open the Settings app on the device, then select General, then Software Update. Once you click Download and Install, it will do everything for you. It’s a small update and it downloads quickly. On an iPhone 14 Pro Max, it downloaded in about seven minutes and installed in another 12 minutes.
What’s in circulation
Fixes are already available. Apple says this will address the issue of lens shake and blurry photos on the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max. If you found that the screen appears black while setting up the device, this update is for you. And if you’ve had the super annoying endless permission requests when copying and pasting between apps, then this update has you covered. VoiceOver disappeared after a reboot for some users, so hopefully that will be fixed here. And this update is here to solve an issue where touch input is unresponsive on some iPhone X, iPhone XR and iPhone 11 screens. This happened after a certain set of circumstances, especially after the device was serviced. Apple’s full notes are below: This update provides bug fixes and important security updates for your iPhone, including: · The camera may shake and cause blurry photos when shooting with some third-party apps on iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max · The screen may appear completely black during device setup · Copying and pasting between apps may cause a permission message to appear more often than expected · VoiceOver may not be available after restart · Fixes an issue where touch input is unresponsive on some iPhone X, iPhone XR and iPhone 11 screens after service For information about the security content of Apple software updates, visit this website: support.apple.com/kb/HT201222 MORE FROM FORBESApple Watch Ultra: New leak reveals surprising secret details By David Phelan
