iOS 16 beta 1 will be released after WWDC 2022

The final iOS 16 will be released in September 2022.

The new iOS 16 firmware will be announced on June 6, 2022 at 20:00 Moscow time at Apple’s annual event for developers WWDC 2022.

Every year in the early days of summer, Apple holds a conference for developers of software for Apple devices. The event usually begins with a presentation at which new firmware is announced, their capabilities are revealed, and beta testing of new software is launched. iOS 16, iPadOS 16, tvOS 16, watchOS 9, HomePod 16 and macOS 13 will be announced this 2022.

Any day after WWDC 2022 will be released first beta version of iOS 16. We described our expectations for iOS 16 innovations in this thread.

iOS 16 betas are for developers and not recommended for regular iPhone users. Beta versions usually have a lot of bugs. Many applications that are not designed to work with iOS 16 may crash or work incorrectly. Therefore, do not rush to install beta versions! We will tell you in detail about all the innovations of iOS 16 on our website, having installed and raced iOS 16 beta on editorial iPhones before that.

iOS 16 beta 1 will be tested throughout the summer months of 2022. After major bug fixes, towards the end of summer, Apple will release iOS 16 public firmware, which can be installed by every iPhone owner, not just an Apple developer.

The public beta version of iOS 16 usually contains a small number of bugs, but still does not guarantee error-free and stable operation of applications installed on the iPhone. For applications to work correctly, developers must finalize them to be fully compatible with the features of the new iOS 16.

How to install iOS 16 beta 1

Formally You must be registered with the Apple Developer Program to install beta versions of iOS. Participation in this program is paid and costs approximately $100 per year. There may be problems with payment if you are from Russia. After all, Visa and Mastercard cards issued in Russia will not be accepted for payment, and there is no need to talk about the MIR card. If you don’t develop apps for iPhone, iPad, Mac computers and laptops, Apple Watch, Apple TV, and HomePod, then you don’t need to.

But you can go to others free of charge.

To install iOS 16 beta, you can go to the site from your iPhone betaprofiles.comselect “iOS 16” and install the developer profile on iPhone, then restart the device.

Next, go to “Settings” > “General” > “Software Update” and if the beta version of iOS 16 is available, click on “Download and install”.

Previously, all iOS updates could only be installed over Wi-Fi. Large firmware updates weighed several gigabytes and Apple did not allow them to be installed over mobile networks. Starting with iOS 15.4, Apple has allowed iOS firmware to be downloaded via mobile Internet as well. This is logical, because in many countries high-speed 4G / LTE networks have become commonplace, and in many developed countries 5G is working.

If you have previously installed beta versions of iOS 15 firmware on your iPhone, then in order to be able to download the beta version of iOS 16, you will have to add another developer profile specifically for iOS 16.

Let’s repeat – we do not recommend install beta versions of firmware on everyday iPhones due to the high risk of failures and possible errors both in the operation of the iPhone itself and in the unstable operation of applications installed on it. Think about the fact that on your iPhone you can install and use applications that are no longer in the App Store (for example, applications of banks that have fallen under sanctions) and no one will modify them under iOS 16. By installing the first beta version of iOS 16 on your iPhone, you will simply deprive yourself of the opportunity to use these applications.

How to Install the iOS 16 Public Beta

Any iPhone owner can install the public beta version if their device is compatible with iOS 16. To do this, it is not necessary to be an Apple developer and generally know and understand something in high technologies. All you need is an iPhone and an Apple ID.

To install public versions of iOS firmware, you need to register in the official “Apple Beta Program» via Apple ID. After that, you can install the public beta tester profile on your iPhone and install iOS 16.

The public beta will be released towards the end of summer 2022.

Participation in Apple’s public beta testing program helps the apple company find and fix more bugs before the firmware is officially released. This 2022, it will be possible to take part in public testing of iOS 16, iPadOS 16, macOS 13, tvOS 16 and watchOS 9 firmware.

iOS 16 release date

iOS 16 will become available to everyone in September 2022 after Apple’s fall presentation, where it will introduce new iPhones 2022: iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Max, iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max. Perhaps at the September presentation, a new model of Apple Watch Series 8 smart watches will also be presented.

The expected date of Apple’s autumn presentation is September 13, 2022. After this event, the official releases of iOS 16, iPadOS 16, tvOS 16, macOS 13, HomePod 16 firmware will take place and the start date for sales of the new iPhone 14 will be announced. Thanks to numerous leaks, the features of all iPhone 14 have already been revealed and there are pricing speculations for the new iPhone 14. All iPhone 14 models will be sold with iOS 16 preinstalled. A list of all iPhone models that will support iOS 16 can be found in this thread.
