| Apple iOS 16 |
Apple will officially release major updates to iOS 16 and other operating systems at its WWDC 2022 developer conference on June 6, but a new report from Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman claims that iOS 16’s first public beta will launch a little later than usual.
Gurman said in a tweet that this year’s iOS 16 beta release schedule is a bit different. According to the reporter, Apple plans to launch the first public beta and third developer beta of iOS 16 in July. In previous years, the first public beta of a new iOS version was launched alongside the second developer beta.
The reason, Gurman said, is that the current build is a bit more buggy. Therefore, Apple engineers need more time to make the iOS 16 beta stable enough. However, he also mentioned that the situation may change.
It’s worth noting that new iOS developer betas are typically compiled days or even weeks before the official release. This means that now Apple may have completed the first beta version of iOS 16, which will be available to developers shortly after next month’s WWDC 2022 event.
According to recent rumors, iOS 16 is expected to bring major improvements to notifications and bring a new interface to iPad OS multitasking.
As for watchOS 9, another report from Gurman suggests the update will bring “significant upgrades to activity and health tracking.” He also believes that most watch interfaces will be redesigned to take advantage of the larger Apple Watch Series 7 screen.
iOS 16’s first public beta is scheduled alongside iOS 16 developer beta 3 in July. First iOS public betas are typically released alongside beta 2. That means the public beta may be running behind. Current internal seeds are a bit buggy. Things are still fluid and could shift.
