When Will iOS 16 Be Released? [Update: Rolling Out Now]

[Jimmy Bubbles]

They dropped the RC on Thursday.

It's so tempting to get it now. Is it safe to download the beta now?

Considering ios15, who is in the right mind upgrading to 16.0 on day 1? If I had a supported device, I would wait until 16.2 at the least. Let the FOMO people be the final beta testers.

I'm updating on day one, but I'm not glued to my phone, so I don't really care one way or another if it donks up.

Of course, I'm also not in my right mind...

It will be hilarious seeing the complaints of bugs later. It’s like nobody learned anything after iOS 15 😂

Ever since IOS 16 beta was released, I've not been able to download a single photo from my iPhone either with Image Capture or Photos, new or old and downgrading is not an option either without losing data since I no longer have an IOS 15 backup with my current picture library. I filed a bug report, but Apple's response was terse, "Shouldn't install a beta on my iPhone."

I just can’t wait to get my album art back in the BMW. Morons broke it in iOS15 and never bothered to fix it. Ios16 beta on sons phone works miraculously.

I’m gonna wait with the update till my 14 Pro arrives..

 

[russell_314]

what happened with ios15?

15.0 was a mess. I hope 16.0 is better. Whether I like it or not I’m getting it on the 16th…

Tim Apple: We release it when when it’s functional. We never complete the product and something is always being worked on.

Getting to production doesn’t mean something is production ready.

if i have the RC public beta i can safely delete my beta profile from the phone now?

been using the beta since the first public one and it has been running fine from day one. far better than the iOS 15 betas.

at this point you might as well just wait for the official release but if you really can't wait then join the beta and download the RC.

Yes, you have the public release already unless the rare update to it happens. And you'll get that Monday with the rest of the public anyway. No need to keep the beta profile.

Unless you want to remain on the beta train for future versions like 16.1

 

[krspkbl]

Yes, if you no longer want to be on the beta train for future versions like 16.1.

thanks. nah i'm not interested in that. i just wanted to jump onto iOS 16 asap. i can wait for the updates.

 

[WarmWinterHat]

I think I'll wait until iPadOS 16 and Ventura are out. There is nothing I really care about with this release.

I'm a pretty avid runner, so I am interested in trying out the new WatchOS updates.

 

[Digital Dude]

Are they back to calling it iOS and no longer splitting it into iPhoneOS and iPadOS?

As far as I know, they’re still separate.

 

[cosmogfd]

When would it be a good time to remove the beta profile? I've installed the RC but unsure whether there's going to be another build on Monday/whatever

Edit: ignore this, just scrolled up and saw somebody else asking the same question.

Where is Mexico city time?

Isn't it the same as Central Daylight Time (Dallas)?

So 8 PM New York time. Got it. thx.

 

[centauratlas]

One thing that seems much improved on iOS 16 is Siri dictation. It even figures out punctuation well so far.

 

[tonie walker]

Wasn’t keen about the iOs 16 and don’t know much on the improvement. But hey its free upgrade

 

[JosephAW]

Hoping for a few more updates to iOS 15 to resolve outstanding issues.
Not planing to install iOS 16 until August of 2023.

 

[PJM83]

Won’t be upgrading my iPhone 13PM. 14 PM arrives Friday, new hardware new OS.

 

[Russell L]

Not sure if I should even bother updating my 13, since Im getting the 14 on Friday, well hopefully.

I’ll just wait to get my 14PM this Friday as well, instead of upgrading iOS on my 12PM. New phone + new iOS will make the experience even better!

That reminds me of an old Homer Simpson episode where he kept getting himself hurt with a lit candle fire repeatedly, seemingly not learning that the action was causing pain. 😂

Apparently I haven't learned my lesson 🤣
