The problem is more serious than expected. Apple has added the Home architecture update in iOS 16.2 to the internal problem list.

CTOnews.com, December 31 / PRNewswire-FirstCall-Asianet /-- Apple has marked the Home architecture update in iOS 16.2 as a "major issue" and added it to the internal list (which usually represents a wide range of and serious problems), indicating that Apple is aware of a major problem with the new Home architecture.

Apple enabled the new Home architecture in the iOS 16. 2 update released earlier this month. However, when users try to update, there are many problems, such as jam, abnormal connection and so on, and they can't even pair up when they reconnect.

Apple then withdrew the Home upgrade and said it would push it again after a subsequent fix. CTOnews.com learned that Apple has added updates to Home apps to its internal hardware and software problem database, a rare move for a software-related problem. The lists used by Apple, the Apple Store and authorized service providers usually include only common problems faced by customers, mostly hardware issues.
