If you are a beta tester and have any of the iPhone 14 Pro models, do not dare with this update.
Finally Apple has launched its long-awaited new batch of iPhone 14 devices, with the normal models but above all highlighting the iPhone 14 Pro Y iPhone 14 ProMaxsome latest devices that have exclusive features such as dual-frequency GPS compatibility, among other things.
And beta users with an iPhone 14 Pro, both with the version Pro normal as with version Pro Maxare experiencing issues on their iPhone if they have updated to the latest beta, basically breaking GPS.
And as reported from Macrumorsowners of the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max should be aware that if they dare with the iOS 16.1 beta versiontheir GPS will be pretty much broken until further notice, so if you feel this feature is critical for you, you should skip this update.
Although it is very clear that a beta version can bring functionalities that do not go quite well, the truth is that many users prefer to take risks in order to test certain features before anyone else, but due to the seriousness of the matter, since the function of GPS practically breaks, it is convenient to warn.
If you are an iPhone 14 Pro user and you have already installed the beta version of iOS 16.1, the solution you should do is downgrade to the previous version 16.0.1 or wait for an upcoming beta version after 16.1 to be available. fix this issue so that GPS functionality is restored.
Interestingly, the cause of this important error is not clear, so it is quite likely that we will not know anything official until the next few hours, so the most sensible thing is not to install this beta version if you have these new device models.
What is dual frequency GPS
It should be noted that the iPhone 14 Pro models have dual-frequency GPS support, so these iPhone specifically, they can receive GPS satellite signals that operate on both the legacy L1 frequency and the higher power L5 frequency, the latter capable of better traveling through obstacles such as buildings and trees.
And it is that thanks to the combination of the two signals, your iPhone would be able to offer improved locations in map applications and much more.
As we said, this dual-frequency GPS functionality is not present in the iPhone 14 nor is it present in the iPhone 14 plus, but it is in both models of the iPhone 14 Pro.
