Apple unveils latest iOS 16.5 beta 4 for developers, here's what to know

Just a day after releasing iOS 16.4.1, Apple initiated beta testing of its upcoming iOS 16.5 version, starting with the release of the first developer beta. The public beta is expected to follow tomorrow or Thursday, with the final version anticipated to be released in late April or May. As WWDC is only a couple of months away, iOS 16.5 could potentially be the final iOS 16 update before the launch of the first iOS 17 beta in June.

Here's what to expect from iOS 16.5 beta 4

Apple has made available the fourth beta of iOS 16.5 to developers, while the public beta version is expected to be released within a day. So far, no new features have been discovered since the initial release of the beta.

While the exact number of new features and changes that will be included in iOS 16.5 remains unclear, updates will be added to this section as they are discovered. According to a report by Mark Gurman from Bloomberg, iOS 16.5 is expected to have minor improvements similar to those of iOS 16.4, as Apple aims to reserve significant updates for the upcoming iOS 17 release. Nonetheless, there are some confirmed features that are included in the latest beta update.

How to install iOS 16.5 public beta

The installation process for iOS 16.4 beta has undergone changes. To install the beta version, users must first go to the Apple Beta page and click on "Sign Up" to register with their Apple ID.
