Shulou(Shulou.com)11/24 Report--

CTOnews.com, May 15 (Xinhua)-- reliable sources say Apple has stepped up internal testing of the iOS 16.6 in the past week, according to Macrumors. This indicates that the first beta version of the update will be released to developers and public testers in the next few days.

CTOnews.com has previously reported that Apple has previously confirmed that the official version of iOS 16.5 will be released this week, so the first beta version of iOS 16.6 may be available later this week or next week. It is reported that Apple has been testing iOS 16.6 internally since at least early April, which may be the last version of iOS 16, as Apple is expected to release iOS 17 on WWDC next month and shift its development focus to this update.

With iOS 17 coming, iOS 16.6 may be a minor update, but it remains to be seen what new features, changes, and bug fixes it will include. Apple has previously announced that iMessage contact key authentication will be launched in 2023, but it is not clear when this optional security setting will be introduced.

The official version of the iOS 16.6 should be available to the public within weeks of the WWDC, which begins on June 5, and there is no sign of Apple testing the iOS 16.7 yet.
