Users of the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max now need to know that the recently released beta version of iOS 16.1 is preventing GPS from working properly on many users’ devices, meaning anyone who relies on location tracking should avoid the beta for now.
iPhone 14 Pro owners who already have iOS 16.1 beta installed will have to downgrade to iOS 16.0.1 or wait until a later iOS 16.1 beta fixes the issue to restore GPS functionality, and it is unclear what is causing the bug.
Like the Apple Watch Ultra, the iPhone 14 Pro model has dual-band GPS support, meaning that the iPhone can receive signals from more GPS satellites that operate on the traditional L1 frequency and the higher-powered L5 frequency, which can better traverse obstacles such as buildings and trees, and the combination of these two signals can significantly improve the mapping The combination of these two signals can significantly improve the positioning accuracy of apps and the like.
