Apple continues to polish its next big update for iPhone, and the first available version of iPadOS 16 for iPad, which they already have beta 4 available for developers with many new features and bug fixes.
Apple has already released the fourth Beta of iOs 16.1 for iPhone, along with the corresponding Betas of the rest of the operating systems: iPadOS 16 Beta 11 for iPads, tvOS 16.1 Beta 4 for Apple TVs, and macOS Ventura Beta 10 for computers. Let's remember that both Macs and iPads are still waiting for this year's software update.
