Anecdotally - my wife and I upgraded from iPhone 15 Pro Maxes 8 days ago - the 16 Pro Max is actually doing worse.  Regularly now, by bed time our phones are 30% full whereas our 15 Pro Maxes were around 50% under same usage.  At first I thought it’s the usual initial battery drain as the data/apps/etc get downloaded again - and, maybe this time, some AI stuff gets initialized with data on our phones, but it’s now day 8 - and battery use still hasn’t recovered on either of our phones.  Ergo, battery is worse - at least for us - on the new phones.

I'm a bit disappointed too, coming from a 13 Pro. I remember just how much better my 13 Pro was over the X i had before. I think iOS is doing too much background stuff even though I have background refresh off.

I wish Apple would add a feature to turn off cellular service entirely in certain locations. A big proportion of the battery is consumed by having no cellular service, and my wifi connection will always be better. I made a shortcut to turn on airplane mode when connected to particular wifi networks, but it doesn't work half the time, gets stuck in a weird loop of turning airplane mode on and off and spams me with a notification every_single_time. Which is another bugbear, I do not want to know every time a shortcut runs. Let me turn those notifications off.

I like it, but I think it's in the wrong place. It needs to be nearer the edge of the phone, unless you have huge hands you end up half covering the display whilst stroking the button.

Moving it over would make it difficult if not impossible to use in portrait mode. The current place allows it to be used in both landscape and portrait modes. 

I don't really know why you'd use the button in portrait mode. It's much easier to just use the screen one handed and avoid the button altogether, stroking the button in portrait mode is really awkward. It even looks awkward in the portrait mode marketing pictures. The place @602warren suggested it'd be a good improvement for landscape photos, whilst not really making much different to the already awkward portrait.

"Content harmful to children" is pretty broad. So a woman sending a topless picture to her SO is now a breach of Apple's rules? Or a screenshot of scene from a violent movie?

I’m not a lawyer but don’t see how you could jump from their new terms to your conclusion 

"Content harmful to children" is very broad, including the two above examples. So are you saying a violent movie is not harmful to children? What is the point in the age rating then?
