Users with older iPhones complain of battery life and camera quality issues after iOS 16 update

Apple has time and again been accused of throttling the performance of older devices whenever a new version of the iOS and a new iPhone is released. Well, Apple is facing such accusations again, with the launch of the new iPhone 14 and iOS 16.

Users with older iPhones complain of battery life and camera quality issues after iOS 16 update

Several users are taking to Twitter to complain about how their battery life and battery health have plummeted since they updated their older iPhones, like the iPhone 13 series and the iPhone 12 series, ever since they updated their devices.

Usually, older devices do take a hit when they get a new operating system. However, things such as battery management and RAM management become normal in a couple of weeks. This is mainly because iOS is performing several tasks in the background. These tasks include reindexing files, photos, apps, app data and more. This type of hit to your iPhone’s battery is especially notable with Apple’s yearly flagship software releases, like iOS 16, because they are such massive updates.

With the new iOS 16, users are complaining that the battery management on their newly updated devices continues to be poor.

A quick search on any social media platform, including Reddit, and Twitter, will unearth thousands of complaints from iPhone users. These users all say that their iPhone battery life has taken a significant hit since installing iOS 16 two weeks ago. 

And of course, there are a number of conspiracy theories about Apple purposefully reducing battery life on older iPhones to drive iPhone 14 sales.

In another conspiracy theory that may very well be true, a number of content creators have taken to social media platforms like Instagram and YouTube and shared how their cameras have been acting up, often blowing up the highlights inexplicably.

This has further fuelled conspiracy theorists who say that this is a trick that Apple uses to get people who rely on their devices the most, to upgrade and to upgrade quickly, with each cycle.

Apple hasn’t yet commented on these battery life concerns from iOS 16 users. The company has released iOS 16.0.2 to the public with no mention of battery life improvements. Apple is also currently beta testing iOS 16.1. In a couple of weeks, they should ideally be rolling out an update that takes care of these issues. However, it would behove users to first read the update note thoroughly and only update if it says that the new update improved batter life.

COVID-19 origins: Should we pay more attention to the lab leak theory and formally investigate it?

Image
A year and a half into the pandemic, we still do not know exactly where the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which causes Covid-19, came from. The prevailing view so far has been that the virus “spilled over” from bats into humans. But there are increasing calls to investigate the possibility that it emerged from a lab in Wuhan, China, where Covid first appeared at the end of 2019. So what do we know for sure, and what do we need still to find out? We know the sequence of the SARS-CoV-2 virus is close to that of bat coronaviruses . Several decades ago its “ancestor” was circulating in bat populations in southern Asia. But there are still many unanswered questions: we don’t know how the virus arrived in Wuhan, how its sequence evolved to allow human infection, and under what conditions it infected the first people who crossed its path. And for each of these stages, we don’t know whether there was a human contribution (direct or indirect). Zoonotic transmission pathways, in other words the pas

Menstrual cups are cheaper, more sustainable than pads and tampons for women

Image
Every year in America, women spend at least US$2.8 billion on sanitary pads and tampons that can take hundreds of years to decompose . Is there a more economical and environmentally friendly way? To find out, we asked Susan Powers , a professor of sustainable environmental systems at Clarkson University about her work comparing the environmental impact of tampons, sanitary pads and menstrual cups. What is a menstrual cup? A menstrual cup is a type of reusable feminine hygiene product. It’s a small, flexible bell-shaped cup made of rubber or silicone that a woman inserts into her vagina to catch and collect menstrual fluid. It can be used for up to 12 hours, after which it is removed to dispose of the fluid and cleaned. The cup is rinsed with hot water and soap between each insertion and sterilized in boiling water at least once per period. A cup can last up to 10 years . Although menstrual cups have been around for decades, they historically have been less popular than pads or ta

Human bodies respond to infections differently depending on the time of day

Image
When microorganisms – such as bacteria or viruses – infect us, our immune system jumps into action. It’s highly trained to sense and eliminate infections and clear up any damage caused by them. It’s typically assumed our immune systems work the exact same way regardless of whether an infection occurs during the day or at night. But research spanning over half a century now shows our bodies actually respond differently at day and night. The reason for this is our body clock, and the fact that each cell in the body, including our immune cells, can tell what time of day it is. Our body clock has evolved over millions of years to help us survive. Every cell in the body has a collection of proteins that indicate the time depending on their levels. Knowing whether it’s day or night means our body can adjust its functions and behaviours (such as when we want to eat) to the correct time. Our body clock does this by generating 24 hour rhythms (also termed circadian rhythms ) in how cells f
