iOS 16 Speculation Thread

It was was crazy Tuesday yesterday as two storm eyes converged over Apple in the South Bay.
Some crazy numbers, I’ve been watching it the last few days, looked like a hurricane was spinning over the Bay Area.
Has anyone checked to see if the spaceship is still there?
Not missing from the original announcement but the Sound Detection feature for the new HomePods is due to come in the spring so I assume that'll be a 16.5 feature.
The way some higher-billing features have been delayed in recent years, I wouldn’t hold my breath….
I would guess either Monday, 27th or Tuesday, 28th.
And a lot of those bugs will carry over into 17, where they’ll be warmly greeted by a whole new family of bugs, some of which will still be around in iOS 18 and beyond.
There is no new information here. I didn’t do any research to specifically back up this claim. It’s just the way it’s always been and will always be. That people still act like there’s some final build nirvana is pretty hilarious.
Yes some people that wait for final previous OS release before upgrading. The problem is with all that waiting you can't assume 3rd party applications will be fully compatible, it means you still need to update afterwards so that updates recognize your new OS. Then's there's the OS changes you now learn about way after people have discuss issues. So besides making it harder on yourself, you now have to hunt for knowledge after it been discussed long ago.

They will not be in the beta stage anymore. You still owe everyone $2.00 tho. 😒💵💲
There are no promises guessing dates you know.
He lost track, y’all..
16.6 beta 6 is smooth as lava.
Like the betas burn up all known bugs.
Like the betas burn up all known bugs.
Just wait until iOS 16.6.2 to fix THOSE bugs. Always bugs.

I await newer versions of MacOS 14 which allow AV1 playback using Netflix and YouTube. Safari 16.4 shows that experimentally incorporated, but not allow this to be used yet. That and push metal 3 to offer some compatibility with Direct X 12 for VM. IPadOS 17 needs to allow better multitasking then side by side, even with stage manger not the best implementation as an alternative. tvOS and its ridiculous AppleTV app issues, and lack of better bitstream capabilities. iOS 17 and the App Store purchase limitations is much wished for improvements. We need more than the WWDC date, give us hope for once to satisfy our appetites. Then there’s the DTK finally for AR testing also might show up, that would be exciting if we can take the next step to show off that new marketplace.WWDC 2023 announcement next week along with iOS 16.4 public release?

I agree: it is time to start speculating about iOS 17 rather than the remaining cleanup iOS 16 releases.
New thread time, @MozMan68?
Here’s another wildcard that seems like something Apple would be looking at, just as the forced spatial speakers in macs could show up in smaller Apple devices.

Tech Watch: Silicon-Based xMEMS Microspeakers
Mechanical drivers could become a thing of the past if xMEMS Labs has its way. The Santa Clara, CA-based firm has set its sights on replacing coil-based driver technology that has dominated audio for nearly 100 years with a full-range silicon-based microspeaker it hopes will find its way into...
