iOS 16 Speculation Thread

[ValhallaOutcast]

can we swap out the 2 app shortcuts on the lock screen?

Looks like their updating the Beta.apple.com site at the moment.

 

[gwhizkids]

What time will beta drop? A few mins after event ends?

Yes

 

[TL24]

Underwhelming to say the least.

Yes, the Lockscreen, iMessage and shared Family Photo Album is nice, but what about the home screen? Camera features such as pro settings? Battery percentage on the home screen? So many features have been left out yet again.

I predict a beta today. I win

If this comes out this year it'll be with the redesigned iPhone. Don't forget some features of the new iOS are sometimes held back for the unannounced hardware.

Has anyone heard which devices will be supported ? Seem to have missed that .

And support dropped for the SE 1, 6S and 7, but iPad OS support for the iPad 5th gen which was basically just a scaled up 6S (A9 and 2GB of ram....) - doesn't make a lot of sense.

iPhone 8 and newer according to Apple's press room

Oh for sure, in typical Apple fashion, you'll need to upgrade to the iPhone 14 to get your battery percentage back 🤣

Had to get on extended conference call 15 minutes in. Killing me!

It looks like most of the highlighted features require an A12 chip or newer, except for Live Captions which requires an A13 on iPhone and A12 on iPad. My best guess is this could be a battery thing.

I think you can customize clock font and add widgets but won't be able to change the camera and flashlight apps

[ediks]

[nortonandreev]

it’s pretty interesting that iphone 7 gets dropped but the iPad 5 doesn’t

 

[waterskier2007]

iOS 16 provisioning profile link is giving me a 403. Guessing it's just taking some time to get everything in place.

edit: working now

 

[dannyyankou]

I usually do a fresh install, but I'm running out soon so I'm doing OTA lol
