Apple has released iOS 16.0.3 and watchOS 9.0.2 to address known bugs that affect CarPlay and Mail.
The release cycle for Apple's latest operating system has been more buggy than previous releases. Owners of the iPhone 14 had to update right after purchase to address activation bugs, then another update was released days later to fix iPhone 14 Pro camera problems.
This third iOS 16 update addresses a few specific bugs. One bug prevented call and app notifications from appearing in a timely fashion, if at all. Another bug caused low microphone volume during CarPlay calls.
Apple also fixed a bug that could cause the camera app to be slow at launch or when switching camera modes. Finally, a bug that crashed the Mail app on lunch due to a malformed email has been fixed.
The watchOS 9.0.2 update was also released with bug fixes and performance improvements.
Users should see a notification for the update, and it will install automatically overnight for most. However, if you'd like the update to install right away, it will need to be initiated manually.
