Description:
A new beta has arrived that brings refinements to new features, but when
could the public beta for iOS 16 arrive?

FULL STORY ======================================================================

Apple released updates to the developer betas of iOS 16 , iPadOS 16 , macOS Ventura , and watchOS 9 this week (June 22), where there's been some bug
fixes and refinements for the new features it announced at WWDC .

While Stage Manager in iPadOS 16 has seen some improvements, by way of making it easier to resize windows, and being able to hide the dock, the Messages
app is taking older software versions into account when editing messages.

There'll be two messages sent - one being the original, and the other the newly edited message.

There's also the ability to create backups over iCloud using your cellular data plan, but as other users are awaiting the public beta release of iOS 16 (along with other platform releases), we suspect the wait won't be much longer.

Beta releases from Apple usually arrive two-three weeks after a previous version, whether that's a minor release such as iOS 15.6 , or the tentpole releases of iOS 16.

At the time of writing, it's been two weeks since WWDC and when the first developer betas arrived. We usually see the public betas show up when beta 3 does. By then, there'll be a bunch of feedback given by developers who have been using the earlier releases, and all that has been applied to the
features across the new software.

For example, WWDC 2021 was June 7, with the public beta arriving three weeks later, earlier than Apple's date of July. While the iOS 14 public beta
arrived on July 8, just under three weeks after WWDC 2020 was hosted
remotely.

This is why we suspect the public beta of iOS 16 and other updates will
arrive around the week beginning July 4. That way, they're released after the federal holiday break, and users can get into how the new updates will
benefit them, albeit with caution.

Regardless, these are still early, in-development versions of what will be on the majority of iPhones by the time 2022 wraps up. So be aware that you may encounter bugs and other issues if you do decide to install the public betas...when they arrive.
