Apple Confirms iOS 16.5 Will Be Released Next Week With These New Features

[Fraserpatty]

So is the Siri screen recording feature working or not?

Poor logic in the title! By the provided information, iOS 16.5 will come out prior to or next week. Based on how Apple typically release these updates, it's more likely 16.5 will be released at the end of this week.

Wow.... an update for Pride Wallpapers. Yeah, that work from home thing didn't do anything to stifle innovation. I can't wait to see what the next iPhone looks like (hint, just like the current iPhone and 3 prior).

Good to know. New wallpaper is also good.

So annoying. Apple is too busy announcing the subscription model Final Cut Pro and the new Apple Watch bands but the Weather App is down once again.

This time band should support Diabetes or DiaBTQ+ .

Really sweet and nice looking band.

Being serious I watched with jaw drop how much work is required to control diabetes even with modern technology which is extremely pricey in my country (1/3 of minimal income) which lets to pump insulin up to 3 days automatically.

‘Wow Sports tab in Apple News. Finally!’ <<< said no one, ever.

I've not seen anyone mention the Podcasts Car Play fix, which deals with a bug that I've experienced most days for a while. So, a welcome update thanks.

They normally don't announce when updates are scheduled for release, what's different this time?

maybe because it's "bundled" with a new product release, the pride band that goes along with the new wallpaper. So they release the product available May 23, and also the new wallpaper included in iOS 16.5.

Since when do new wall papers and emojis warrant a dot release? These are not features or improvements.

A lot of people here complaining about performance as a bigger issue - and I agree.

Perhaps the lack of performance and priorities at Apple is because their recruitment is as focussed on ‘inclusivity’ as the product development folks who choose virtue signalling as a priority over the priorities of users….

Should focus on things worthy of priority. For a tech company: stability, performance. Etc. THEN, with your spare time take out the crayon box and virtual signal.

Very small update then.

The same person isn’t fixing the weather app and announcing the subscription.

FWIW, virtue signalling, inclusivity takes no time or effort so therefore virtue signalling definitely didn't take priority over stability and performance. It must be the new emojis that are causing drop in quality. /s
