It was totally obvious this would happen when they canned the entire Stadia development team over a year ago.

This feature should be really fun when I’m listening to and half watching the news while cooking dinner.

However, the fact that Apple released these on the same date and time that they knew their servers would be heavily pounded by iOS 16 upgraders makes me think there may be some backward compatibility issues they didn't want to delay getting fixes out into the field. 

I think it's more likely that they do them all at once because the all have mostly the same security fixes.  This prevents anyone from getting zero-dayed so long as they are timely with their updates.  

As for myself, I took the 15.7 update for my X, rather than 16.0.  After 16.0 gets shaken out for a few days, I can decide whether to go ahead with that.

So will Apple respect employees’ desires to work in a masked environment, or work from home if that’s not possible at their location?

Backing up first, then updating.  If there's a problem with the new release, I can recover.
