iOS 16 Speculation Thread

[TheYayAreaLiving 🎗️]

anyone else notice @yayarealiving auspiciously dropped off the map as soon as the update hit?
For all her "energy" she missed all the drama!

Yeah, I got busy yelling at Craig Federighi for taking too long and making us wait. Also, someone owes me a coffee here. But I'm here reading all the comments and updating my iPhone 14 Pro Max. Big day for us tomorrow!!!

Go to General->iPhone storage. You should be seeing the download in the list.

Thank you. It showed up again before doing what you said.

Theirs servers are hammered. On my iPhone it went from 1 min left to 3 days now it paused lol.

Update: Now its preparing.

 

[furbzv1]

So update today or wait until tomorrow for a possible 16.4

Someone effed up big time. Showing up now on my 13 Pro.

How did they mess up?
Generally know zero about this, so interested to learn how they could F this up.

Apparently someone uploaded the update to the beta channels instead of public release. It’s corrected now.
Explains why it showed up for those with the profile installed initially.

Oh boy, Apple messed up big time. They uploaded the updates to the wrong “channel”. tvOS, watchOS, and macOS is out to public now. Will delete and re-tweet the updates

Current situation until tomorrow at 10:00 AM PDT.

Yay do you think we're going to coast on this one all the way until the release of 16.4?

90% sure iOS 16.4 Beta 1 is coming tomorrow. But right now this is exactly how I feel.

I stopped trusting myself after waiting this long for an update from Apple. It was brutal and a complete struggle. 😖

I think this lends more credence to my “zero day” theory: they were able to get patched versions done for HomePod and Apple TV and the priority was to get them out the door as soon as they could, rather than wait for the iOS / iPadOS versions to finish QC.

just take a breath. enjoy the recent update. Dont worry about tomorrow and 16.4 for a few hours. put your feet up.

I have the 16.3.1 popping up on my 14PM and I have a DEV beta profile installed... I think I am going to just ignore this one and not install... Will wait to see what happens tomorrow.

 

[kayuz6]

Finally something has popped out 😅

I think it's a bad sign that 16.3.1 was also rolled out to the devices with DEV beta profiles. For me, the only explanation is that there won't be a 16.4 beta anytime soon and the exploit is so bad that Apple wants to equip the developer devices with a secure version as well. I don't believe it's a bug, since 16.3.1 continues to be distributed to devices with dev beta profiles.

I hope of course that I am completely wrong and tomorrow a 16.4 appears 😅

Why? If it's a security patch it's beneficial until a newer seed takes its place that has that incorporated. 😉
It may not be a beta but I feel better today seeing these updates. 😎

Yea it’s incredible we finally got something, I think 16.4 beta 1 will come out tomorrow, but I was also thinking maybe it won’t be out for another week or two or three because why not!

 

[Abthevolfan92]

16.4 won't go public until the first week of April is my bold prediction

I'm hoping Apple is going to have a Spring event in March. I think it will be sometime in March. Perhaps Mid or End of March. As long it is released tomorrow. Also, the new color iPhones may be loaded with iOS 16.4 as well.

 

[cbreze]

Have the beta profile and just now see the update. I see no point in installing what I already have installed. If the modem had changed I’d go for it as i continue to get data drops, 3 in the past 4 hours. I hope 16.4 has an improved modem as that is the only thing that seems to help this issue, other than going back to my pixel 7 of course. 😆

⚽ FiFA Worldcup is over

There is nothing else left for Tim Cook. He needs to get back to work in Cupertino, CA.

The new Formula 1 season is about to start and teams are busy presenting their new cars and their brand new "livrée". Tim will fly to Bahrein 03-05 March to steward the crew shooting the next "Shot on an iPhone' advertisement material 😉

I’m getting a notification that my HomePods have an update. However checking for the updates under home settings updates I just get the spinning wheel for 1/2 hour.

I have the HomePod beta profiles installed.

Anyone else notice this?
