Users reported that iOS/iPadOS 16.5 breaks USB 3 adapter compatibility. USB-A port seems to be no longer working after the 16.5 update. Connecting the accessory triggers the error saying that it requires too much power.
watchOS 9.5 in turn added green tint on passcode entry, notifications and control center screens. Issues affects Apple Watch Series 8 and older devices. Apple Watch Ultra seems to be unaffected.
