is this the last beta before the official release of iOS 16?

We expect it to take a maximum of two weeks; then you can download and install iOS 16. Is the just released iOS 16 beta 8 the last test version before the official release of iOS 16?

iOS 16 beta 8: this is what’s new

Apple today released iOS 16 beta 8 for developers, a week after the seventh developer beta came out. Since the first announcement, we have received new versions of iOS 16 almost every week. These are intended for developers, but we as public testers can also install them. The release of the now eighth beta of iOS 16 means that the official launch is close.

When rolling out and testing the first beta, everything was still new and was constantly being adjusted. Now, however, we no longer see any major innovations or adjustments. The fact that there are still bugs to be fixed in this update indicates that a release is imminent. Still, we list the iOS 16 changes for you.

These are the big changes of iOS 16

iOS 16 introduces, among other things, a renewed lock screen. You can make this completely personal. Some Apple apps have also received new features, such as the Mail app and the Messages app. There you can now retrieve or delete a sent mail or message.

In addition, with iOS 16, Apple is focusing on sharing information and files. Safari supports shared tabs with other users, and iCloud Photo Library makes it easier for users to share photos with family members. This is just the tip of the iceberg. In the article below you can read more about the best and most fun iOS features.

When will iOS 16 be released?

We heard from Apple insider Mark Gurman last week that Apple is almost done with the final release of iOS 16. We always see the new software for your iPhone coming in September with that year’s iPhone announced. This usually happens a week after the iPhone event.

We have already received an invitation for the new keynote ‘Far Out’! On Wednesday, September 7, Apple will announce the iPhone 14 there, among other things. This means that we can probably install iOS 16 in the week of September 12th. On iPadOS 16, among other things, you have to wait a while.
