iOS 16.6 Beta Coming Soon for iPhones Ahead of iOS 17 at WWDC

In less than 2 hours, already 25 predictably cynical, smarmy comments dissing Apple for having the gall to actually release another beta cycle—how inept of them, making yet another effort to improve their software in anticipation of an official release!

Honestly I don’t know if the usual hecklers on here actually own Apple products and are just Android trolls, if they just come on here to be smart asses, or if they indeed own iPhones and just don’t get how beta cycles work (hint: they’re supposed to be buggy, and no one is forcing you to download pre-release software!).

No matter the reason, this site’s server must be stuffed to the gills with these tedious complaints by now, and they’re so useful to those of us who come here to look for new features spotted in these betas. Ya’ll just keep getting wittier, keep it up!

LOL where? I don't see any negatve comments in this thread
 
Quality vs Quantity. Apple all in on Quantity. Very apparent with the frequency of updates, bug fixes, security releases. Will be seven significant grades in nine months. Not counting the second dot updates. And we all blasted Window‘s OS for bloated software, hilarious.

I can say I do more reboots with my Apple mobile devices than anything else I own.
Excluding counting beta devices.

I do get a number of Android updates however those are predominately security updates that Google puts out.

Cute. I’ve been around here for awhile boss—they were just getting started. Check again. Or better yet take a gander at the previous three cycles. Or any of the other Apple-related websites. 🙄

Yeah, I now know what you mean. Some superfans cannot stand even the most objective criticism of their favorite company and get toxic. But I didn’t see them in this thread - at least before your post complaining about their presence
