Download iOS 16
Since tonight at 7:09 PM, iOS 16 is available for the iPhone. Unlike in other years, the iPad update will not come at the same time as the iPhone. Apple has said that iPadOS 16 will be released in October.
All iPhones from iPhone 8 onwards have iOS 16 support. The iPhone 6s (Plus), iPhone SE 2016 and iPhone 7 (Plus) are stuck on iOS 15. It is therefore not possible to download iOS 16 on these devices.
Install iOS 16
It’s easy to get the big iPhone update. We recommend making an iPhone backup first. Then follow the steps below to install iOS 16:
- Make sure your iPhone or iPad battery is at least 50 percent full, or hang it on the charger;
- Go to the Settings app and tap “General”;
- Choose Software Update and tap Update to iOS 16.
It is also possible that the update is not immediately visible, or that it downloads very slowly. With a major software update like this, many users try to download the new version at the same time. This sometimes creates digital queues. In that case, try installing iOS 16 at a later time.
