The latest iOS update seems to be causing trouble with Google Photos. So, if you rely heavily on Google Photos, you might want to hold back. However, the issue with that this update fixes a vulnerability being actively exploited in the wild. Maybe now might not be the time to use Google Photos on the platform. 

It's being reported that the photo service crashes instantly for iPhone and iPad users attempting to open it after the upgrade. Hopefully, Apple or Google comes up with a fix for this as soon as possible.

iOS 16 bug reportedly breaks support for Cinematic videos in iMovie, Final Cut Pro

While Apple recently fixed some bugs caused by iOS 16, a new one has reportedly popped up. Some iPhone users are finding that iMovie and Final Cut Pro aren't supporting videos recorded in Cinematic Mode if the device it was recorded on runs on iOS 16. It's unclear what's causing the issue, but the reports seem to be consistent in pointing out these apps show an error when trying to edit Cinematic videos.

Apple hasn't acknowledged the bug yet, so you can't expect a software fix for now. A workaround 9to5Mac suggested editing the video on the iPhone and then sharing these to the Mac via AirDrop.

Apple has started rolling out a new update for iOS 16 that fixes the shaky footage problem experienced by iPhone 14 and 14 Pro cameras in third-party apps. Version 16.0.2 also deals with the overbearing "Allow Paste" notification that asks you every time you try to paste an item from one app to another. It also fixes other issues like VoiceOver not working after a reboot and touch input issues on older iPhones (iPhone X, iPhone XR and iPhone 11) after being serviced.

Apple ends support for older iPhones with iOS 16

A few older iPhones will no longer be able to update to iOS 16. iPhones introduced in 2016 or earlier will not be getting Apple software updates. These include the iPhone 6S, iPhone SE, and iPhone 7. It's not an unexpected move, given Apple will regularly retire software support for older devices. If you have one of these devices, it doesn't mean you can't use them anymore. It just means you won't get the fancy new features. 

What's more important for deciding to switch is whether you'll lose access to security updates. Right now, Apple still offers security updates to older iPhones like the iPhone 5 and 6. But as CNET pointed out, these updates only address critical vulnerabilities, so you could still be vulnerable to other attacks. Regularly check Apple's Security Updates page to stay on top of the security updates you're getting.
