iOS 16 Speculation Thread

[gank41]

Will the RC be released to both dev and public betatesters at the same time or as usual? 2-3 hours up to 24 hours after?

It's possible that when the RC is released after the event, we'll all see it available.

This is what I don't understand. macOS is my no. 1 system where I spent most of the time. There are M1 and M2 chips, so I expected they put more love in macOS and put its release more priority.

You do realize that the vast majority of Apple's users are iPhone owners not mac owners right? Just because you spend time in macOS does not make macOS a priority for Apple. They sell billions more dollars worth of iPhone than mac every quarter - iOS is the priority.

Apple makes more than half its revenue from products running iOS. That is where Apple is going to put its priority.

I can see the RC being released today… even if it’s far from being ready to be released.

Speculating there will be a huge Apple Maps announcement....or maybe I'm just trying to "wish" it true...

I can't wait to see Always on Display in action with the newly iPhone 14.

I can't wait to see Always on Display in action with the newly iPhone 14.

Seriously though, if it isn't announced as a new feature, I may lose it!

Been running it for the past week and it's been alright. No serious issues that I've noticed other than local search being a little slow. But I'm incredibly picky so don't mind that.

I’m soooo going Ultra & Pro. 😜

Tim Apple all done with the presentation. Now rushing to the secret room through the air vent tunnels to finally press the huge golden button to launch the iOS Release Candidate to all of us eager impatient folks. Woo hoo.

You know there’s different teams working on MacOS than iOS and watchOS? You want them to put more into it, but then rush it out? 🤔

 

[Jimpilot]

Anybody remember how long after the presentation ends they release it? Seems like it was like half an hour if I remember correctly

Haha same! Need to see cost and how I’m doing it, might upgrade and get Apple Watch tied to my account, or just by both outright. The latter means I have to get them in different months tho lol.

RC in 1 hour 20 min. 🎉

 

[drak22]

Might be an hour. Might be longer. We’ll just find out when someone that’s constantly refreshes posts haha.

Edit: I found a 9to5mac article from last year that was 11:46 San Diego time when RC was out to Devs.

 

[kayuz6]

Yes the presentation is over, we have to wait some hours to receive RC, also Public Beta will come out tomorrow so… anyway the 12/13 is very close so it’s just a matter of short time
