Apple revealed today that iOS 16, its most recent operating system, would debut on September 12.
During its Worldwide Developers Conference 2022 in June of last year, it initially revealed the free upgrade, and in July it made a public beta available.
(Unfortunately, the release of iPadOS 16 has been postponed even though the two operating systems are often published simultaneously.)
The abundance of features included in the upgrade won't come as much of a surprise as a result.
They begin with a number of changes to the lock screen, such as the ability to add widgets, modify how it looks, and deliver notifications in a new way.
With some restrictions, you will be able to edit and recall messages that have already been sent and use the new iCloud Shared Photo Library to exchange pictures with your loved ones.
The launch of the new operating system coincides nicely with the release of Apple's newest iPhones, the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max,
which go on preorder on September 9 and hit stores on September 16.
You won't have to wait long to benefit from these enhancements, even if you weren't willing to install a beta version of iOS 16 on your current iPhone
because, after all, betas are still in the early stages of development.
