iOS 16 is sure to offer some interesting improvements for iPhone users.
Apple is known for keeping its mobile operating system a secret until its official launch. Many leaks have led to the revelation of the iOS 16 beta launch date, but that doesn't mean we're any closer to discovering all the new features for iOS 16.
Apple fans are clamoring for information about the operating system update, and rumors are flying about what we can expect to see on release day.
The good news? We've got plenty of rumors, leaks and social networking news to keep us busy until the company Apple Cupertino finally unveils the new operating system. Here's everything we know about iOS 16 so far.
Release date: When is iOS 16 coming out?
Apple recently announced that its annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) will take place this summer from June 7 to 11.
The event usually takes place when Apple announces new software features coming to iPhones, iPads and Macs next year, including iOS 16 for iPhones and iPads. In previous years, Apple has released the first beta version of its next-generation mobile operating system at WWDC, with a full public release the following fall.
iPhone and iPad users installing iOS 16 on their devices will be able to try out all the new features early, but it's up to developers to prepare their applications so that we can all use them, and that's what our developers have been doing for over 10 years for our customers !
Last year, for example, Apple released iOS 15 on September 20, about a week after the event. iPhone 13. If Apple's iPhone 14 event were held in September, as iPhone events usually are, iOS 16 would probably be ready for release.
Compatibility: will iOS 16 be available for your iPhone?
Apple has released a new iOS every year since the 2007 launch of its first iPhone, and each one is compatible with slightly older models. For example, iOS 15 is compatible with an iPhone 6S, released in 2015. An Apple developer has disclosed that iOS 16 will run on iPhones with an A10 processor or higher. This means it will be compatible with the iPhone 7 and above, but not the iPhone 6S, 6S Plus or 2016 SE.
iPadOS 16 will probably not be compatible with the iPad Mini 4, iPad 5, iPad Air 2 or iPad Pro 9.7 and 12.9 inches.
What can we expect in iOS 16?
The most persistent rumor involves continued improvements to the widget functionality first introduced by Apple in iOS 14. Apple's iOS 16 is likely to introduce a new way of interacting with widgets, which are essentially small windows onto data stored on your phone, often an extension of an app.
But LeaksApplePro suggests that iOS 16 brings more large interactive widgets and a possible icon redesign.
The image LeaksApplePro tweeted appears to show apps displayed in larger-than-usual squares and rectangles, leaving room for more information such as the day's weather, specific reminders and the song currently playing. The image has aroused some skepticism, with some claiming that the logo of the Apple TV remote is incompatible with the appearance of the remote.
In addition to the widget enhancements, LeaksApplePro points out that there will be small changes to existing features such as for FaceTime and iMessage. New features may include a new way of organizing applications in folders, a new design for the App Store and redesigned sharing optionsimproved management of the Apple Pencil for notes and a new fitness application called Healthbook.
Other supposed iOS 16 features are linked to unannounced Apple hardware. For example, rumors indicate that an Apple VR/AR headset will be released later in 2022 or perhaps next year. Beyond that, Apple is also reportedly working on a wearable mixed reality device called the Apple Glasses that would work with the iPhone.
What's more, MacRumours reported at the end of 2021 that this year's Apple devices like the iPhone 14 could add collision detection where a device contacts the services if it detects that you've been in an accident. Such a feature would require new functionality introduced in iOS 16, although Apple may wait to launch this feature when we're closer to the launch of iPhone 14.
According to MacRumors, iOS 16 will bring support for tracking devices AirTags still in development.
AirTags are small Apple-branded units that can be attached to items such as keys or wallets, and then located by an iPhone or other Apple device. The idea is that if you lose something to which one of these tags is attached, you'll be able to find it again via the Find My iPhone app.
Conclusion
While iOS 15 didn't bring many major changes, iOS 16 would be a more substantial upgrade. Rumors point to several new features that could be announced at WWDC and released in the fall, including a new "always on" display mode for iPhone and iPad that would work in the same way as Android devices. Other rumored features include a new Apple News app, enhanced Siri functionality and modified privacy controls.
