I’ll be living vicariously through all of you from now on. I finally achieved something close to harmony in my Home setup and I just don’t want to have to futz with it anymore.
Got a tip for us?

iOS 16 Speculation Thread

2 weeks from now roughly if this is similar to how 2021's iOS 14.5 was that wrapped up mid April couple of years ago, and there was differently hardware released end of April. 2022's iOS 15.4 around same time doesn't compare as it offered less changes and started late January and wrapped up mid March.

I think we will be on weekly’s as public beta came out so quickly the day after.
In the past, when a public beta comes out a week later, we’re on a 2 week schedule.
Is normally the trend.
Depends on how much feedback they are expecting from the first beta. Remember this took forever to get released so while later betas might be weekly this might not be. Comparably the year before there was no long time gap.
It's all speculative.

It’s quiet in here. Does anyone remember this beta? 12 MB 🥲 Good, Simpler times!

Just my predictions I think we get 16.3.2 in mid march like the second week and 16.4 rolls in the first week of April
Decided to actually install that beta. For me it has been quite smooth so far and battery life is better compared to 16.3.1. Also I have noticed one not mentioned feature: Swipe keyboard is now available for both Ukrainian and Russian languages.
Very strange apple stopped signing 16.3, we have only been on 16.3.1 for 1 week
Not necessarily. Considering several actively exploited Zero Days were patched they would want to cease 16.3 immediately.

Today is the day. It has to be. It's going to be..
It would be nice if we get a new iOS 16.4 Beta 2 today. Let's get it!!! 🍀

Not always. Mixed bag this time round what with the zero day bug… could be two weeks, might be 8 days, so possibly Thursday. 🤷🏽 (8 days is very common, on par with 14 at a glance at .1, .2, .3, .4, etc releases across all iOS)
Look at 12,13,14,15,16 on point releases… All over the place with 5 days since beta one up to 28 days iOS 14.4 😆 @TheYayAreaLiving 🎗 you wouldn’t have any hair left having to wait that long. 😂

Agree with this. The zero day bug patch (which as it turned out was more than one bug and more serious than first alluded to by Apple. See www.macworld.com/article/1518365/ios-16-3-1-security-update-vulberability-disclosed.html) probably completely upset the timing of the 16.4 b1 release.
I suspect “normal” timing on the remaining beta releases will out the window and the remaining betas will be issued on a hurry up basis to get things back on schedule.
The multiple (and exploited by the way) zero days likely also explain why Apple stopped signing 16.3 yesterday.
I will not be terribly surprised to see a better today, but more likely tomorrow or Thursday
So all freeloaders need to either flash ipsw of dev 16.4 beta 2 or wait for public beta via settings app?
