iOS 16.2 release is in December: these are the new features
iOS 16.2 is the next major interim update for the iPhone, with many new features. Apple insider Mark Gurman thinks he knows when the iOS 16.2 release takes place: the software would appear in mid-December.
Gurman reports this in his weekly newsletter, in which he shares his expectations for the last two months of 2022. The last major interim update for the iPhone this year is iOS 16.2 and we can expect the software in December, he reports.

Message yourself on WhatsApp: the best feature in years
WhatsApp will soon show your own number as a contact in the app so that you can send a message to yourself.
The website WABetainfo, a site that focuses on beta versions of WhatsApp, found this in the latest beta (2.22.24.2). But why would you want to use this (kind of strange) feature anyway?

Experts: iPhone 14 Pro camera is a huge leap forward
The iPhone 14 Pro camera has been vastly improved over its predecessor. At least that’s what reputable experts say.
In an extensive review of the camera of the iPhone 14 Pro, the new technology from Apple was assessed as positive by experts. Lux, the maker of the popular camera app Halide, annually reviews Apple’s flagship camera. The result this time is excellent.

KPN Multisim now available: call everywhere with Apple Watch 4G (without iPhone)
An Apple Watch with 4G is ideal for athletes such as runners and cyclists. The smartwatch can track your data and tells you everything about your speed, heart rate and more. Yet you often still have to have your iPhone in your pocket. For example, to remain accessible on the road or to be able to stream music.
With KPN Multisim you can now leave your iPhone at home. The new subscription ensures that the watch is always and everywhere connected to the internet. T-Mobile previously released a similar bundle.

iPhone SE 4: might get an OLED screen (and that’s nice)
There are already several rumors about the iPhone SE 4. This new version of the budget iPhone gets the look of the iPhone XR. However, that is not entirely certain, says the usually well-informed Ross Young.
According to him, Apple is not quite sure what kind of screen they want to use for the iPhone SE 4. He believes that Apple is still considering different types of screens. There are two manufacturers of a 6.1-inch display (OLED) that Apple still has in its sights.

Too bad: iPhone 15 camera won’t get a cool upgrade
You may immediately think that the iPhone 15 will not get a periscope camera, but the rumors follow that this special camera will come.
But, trusted Apple expert Ming-Chi Kuo said on Twitter that another expected camera feature is unlikely to come.
