iPhone 16 passwords not working, apps disappearing and scrambling after updates

With new updates my passwords don’t work, apps disappeared and scrambled. You keep raising prices, making updates but quality is dropping. What’s happening. I seem to be trying to fix things more and getting frustrated. My iPhone 16 is not working near as good as earlier iPhones. I started with iPhone 4 and evolving with it. Why are passwords that worked last month now saying incorrect?

It seems you are scrambling to keep up with others at the expense of quality. I am starting to look elsewhere. Please slow down and focus.

You aren't writing Apple here. This is a user to user only forum, which Apple doesn't participate, nor read for user feedback.


I've had absolutely NO issues with ANY of the updates on my iPhone 16 Pro or 16 Pro Max. And the vast majority of the millions upon millions upon millions of people who have an iPhone 16 model haven't either. Or this forum would be flooded with complaints, yet it's not.


You've identified a myriad of issues in your post. It's hard to tell what you, the user may have done along the way with your iPhone. At a minimum, I'd do a Forced Restart on your iPhone --> Force restart iPhone - Apple Support


If this doesn't help, then you'd be better off scheduling an appointment at your Apple Store Genius Bar for help directly from Apple --> Genius Bar Reservation and Apple Support Options - Apple


If you'd rather just complain to Apple, you can provide feedback here --> Feedback - iPhone - Apple
