iOS 16.3 Coming Next Week: Here's What's New

[Scholli]

I hope they will fix that bug which occurs sometimes when connecting to smb://xyz via files.app.
(on iPhone 13 iOS 16.2 and also on iPad 9.Gen iPadOS 16.2)

Thats my only wish

A fix for HomeKit no where in sight?

This is the one I’ve been waiting for:

• Tweaked wording for Emergency SOS in Settings

So when will it be safe to update from 15 to 16? 16.5? Shall we have a betting pool?

Just yesterday or day before my 15.7.2 iPad started pestering about 16.2 being available. Um, no thank you. 16.5 sounds good.

Because Apple is trying harder to become unpredictable all while releasing unpolished software.

Unpolished software? Pls use the polishing cloth

No need to be alarmed for some bug fixes. The sky is not falling.

Just give us a silent mode indicator 🔕 on the screen to stop missing calls.

Not a lot of additions. The new watch face is interesting.

I also expect 16.3 to fix:

- HomeKit revamp

- issue with AirPods/Beats battery level reading (currently the case is 0%, unless earpieces are in the case)

Hopefully there are a lot of bug fixes. Otherwise just the security key to be excited about.

Apple announced today that iOS 16.3 will be available for iPhone customers next week, bringing just a few new features and enhancements to iPhone customers around the world.

In a press release today announcing new Apple Watch bands, Apple said iOS 16.3 will be available next week as a requirement for a new iOS 16 wallpaper. Alongside iOS 16.3, we also expect iPadOS 16.3, watchOS 9.3, and presumably tvOS 16.3 and macOS 13.2 to also be released.


Compared to iOS 16.2, iOS 16.3 has few new features and instead focuses mainly on bug fixes. We've highlighted a few of iOS 16.3's new features below.

• Support for security keys for Apple IDs
  
• A redesigned HomePod Handoff prompt following the release of a new second-generation HomePod
  
• Tweaked wording for Emergency SOS in Settings

iOS 16 was released four months ago, and some users continue to experience bugs and system UI glitches on their iPhones. iOS 16.3 is likely to address some of these issues next week. For a full rundown of what's new, see our past coverage.
