Apple began testing iOS 16.2 and iPadOS 16.2 updates at the end of October, providing beta versions to both developers and some users. As of now, a total of four beta versions have been released, with the last one earlier this week. While this was the case, the release date of the new version of the operating system began to become clear.
iOS 16.2 winks at launch with fourth beta
The launch date continues to shrink for iOS 16.2 and iPadOS 16.2, which are expected to be generally available at the end of the year. In this process, Apple’s policies in beta versions also help us predict the release date of iOS 16.2.
The US tech giant usually releases 5 or more beta versions before releasing its operating systems in general. However, before we saw iOS 15.2 last year, we only encountered 4 beta versions. That’s why Apple may follow a similar policy this year.
If this is the case; We can expect the final iOS 16.2 before the general release on Tuesday, December 6th. Putting it this way, it seems quite likely that we will see an iOS 16.2 launch in the week of December 12.
If there is a possibility that Apple will release another beta version, the launch may be shifted to the week of December 19th. However, since this date is very close to the Christmas holiday, it seems difficult to choose. On the other hand, Apple, which released the fourth beta version on December 2 last year, shared the final version before the official release on December 7 and the final version on Monday, December 13.
With the new iOS version, Apple will offer its users Freeform, two new widgets for sleep and medication tracking, Always On Display, Live Events, More Frequent Updates, and new architecture for the Home app. So what do you think about the iOS 16.2 and iPadOS 16.2 update?
