The Far Out event held by Apple last night was full of announcements one after another. We’ve seen the next generation of Apple Watch 8 and Ultra, iPhone 14 series and AirPods Pro one after another. The most curious was undoubtedly the iPhone 14 series, and the series will come out of the box with iOS 16. However, when the current generation iPhone users will receive the iOS 16 update has not been clearly known until now. So when will iOS 16 be released? The question has been one of the most curious for a while.
WHEN AND WHAT DATE WILL iOS 16 BE AVAILABLE?
Fortunately, we now have a firm date, and it’s pretty close: iOS 16 will be available for download on September 12.
Apple’s press release unveiling the iPhone 14 and 14 Plus reads: “iOS 16 will be available as a free software update on Monday, September 12.” So, if you are an iPhone 8 and above user, Apple will release the latest iOS version for you on September 12.
On the same date, we can expect the release of watchOS 9 for the Apple Watch. iPad users, on the other hand, seem to have to wait a little longer for iPadOS to be released.
With the update comes the ability to add widgets and customize its appearance, and various improvements to the lock screen. “Make your iPhone your own with brand new ways to personalize your Lock Screen. Showcase favorite photos, customize font styles, and display a selection of widgets for at-a-glance information. Now different Lock Screens, each with a unique background and style. “You can create and switch between them easily. Check out a wallpaper gallery with suggested photos and themed collections for inspiration.”
You can also edit and recall sent messages (with some limitations), use the new iCloud Shared Photo Library to share photos with your family, and use Live Text to retrieve text from videos and photos with new added capabilities. .
