Apple Seeds First Betas of iOS 16 and iPadOS 16 to Developers

[MacRumors]

Following the conclusion of today's keynote event that saw the unveiling of new versions of iOS, iPadOS, macOS, watchOS, and tvOS, Apple has made the first betas of iOS 16 and iPadOS 16 available to developers for testing purposes.

Registered developers can download the iOS and iPadOS 16 profiles from the Apple Developer Center, and once installed, the betas will be available over the air. Given that this is a first beta, it is best to install iOS 16 and iPadOS 16 on a secondary device. Early software is often riddled with bugs, and rumors have suggested that iOS 16 could be buggier than usual.

Over the course of the iOS 16 and iPadOS 16 beta testing period, Apple will refine the newly introduced features and work out bugs. Developers have been provided with the software to prepare their apps ahead of a fall launch.

The software is limited to registered developers at this time, but Apple is expected to provide a public beta for public beta testers in July.

The beta testing period will last for several months, and we are expecting to see iOS 16 and iPadOS 16 released to the public in September alongside new iPhones.

and tvOS,

So, I am guessing that tvOS 16 will looks a lot like tvOS 15? And pretty much every tvOS version that was ever released?

Interesting that the iPad 5th and 6th generations with A9 and A10 chips stuck around while the iPhone 6s and 7 with the same chips and amount of RAM were dropped.

I'm pretty excited to see the external monitor support in full now for iPad OS.

I’m really excited about iPad 16. I’ve been running betas on a few of my Macs, iPads and iPhones for years, but this is the one I’m most eager for. They didn’t do a couple of things I wanted for files, or they didn’t have time to announce them, but pretty much everything else is there. I’m now hoping we will see FCS and some others on the iPad before too long.

Public beta != Developer Beta.

Also even within the Developer Betas there's a separate iOS 16 profile you need to get into the iOS 16 track vs. the continued iOS 15 developer builds.

 

[CaptainV]

installing on my 13 Pro right now. Backup made, curious how it runs!

 

[nCode]

Anyone on the beta can confirm any UK bank apps working? Thanks

 

[LV426]

I'll be glad to see a native weather app on the iPad. The existing weather widget, which connects to a website, can be quite unreliable.

Still waiting for the iPhone's calculator app to make it onto the iPad...

 

[JackieTreehorn]

Wondering if I should upgrade my A12X to M1 for this update….

 

[jaxsoccer24]

iPadOS 16 installed on 12.9" Pro M1:
Not much working yet: Lock Screen changes, multitasking, external full screen support - still same old same old
Working: weather app is clean

 

[emmab2006]

Using iPadOS 16 as well, No major improvements yet… looking forward to those being added.

Who will be the first brave lass or ladd to drop it on their iPhone and report back?!
