iOS 16.6 update pushed, iOS 17 will be updated next week!

Early yesterday morning, Apple pushed the iOS 16.6 Beta 3 version update, two weeks after the last beta version. The version number of this update is 20G5047d.

This update does not bring any new features, and no visible changes were found after the upgrade. It is still mainly focused on fixing bugs and optimizing the system. According to the update log provided by Apple, this version still has problems that need to be solved in the Matter protocol smart home pairing.

The iMessage contact key verification feature, which Apple previously announced would be launched this year, has not yet been launched in iOS 16.6 Beta 3.

However, it should be noted that after the iPhone 12 Pro Max model is upgraded to iOS 16.6 Beta 3, the baseband firmware is upgraded to version 3.80.00, which means that the iPhone signal is also optimized to a certain extent.

The current iOS 16 will continue to be updated, but the updates will mainly focus on fixing bugs and optimizations, and no new features will be added. Apple's development focus has shifted to iOS 17. The first beta version of iOS 17 has been released, and the next beta version Beta 2 is expected to be pushed next week.

There is also the previously exposed official version of iOS 16.5.1, which is also expected to be pushed next week.

The official version of iOS 16.5.1 is a minor version and update, which should focus on fixing bugs and security updates. It is recommended that the main device currently running the iOS 16 system be updated to this version.

In addition, some netizens recently discovered that Apple has quietly launched a lock screen password reset function in the iOS 17 beta. When the user forgets the reset lock screen password, the lock screen password can be reset using the old password within 72 hours.

Simply put, within 72 hours of updating the new password, if you enter the password incorrectly multiple times , the iPhone will prompt "Retry after 1 minute". At this time, click "Forgot Password" in the lower right corner of the screen and click to reset the password with the old password.

After setting a new password, users can also find "Expire old password immediately" in "Settings" - "Face ID & Password", so that your iPhone cannot use the old password to reset the password.

For those who are forgetful and forget their password right after changing it, you can use this feature, provided that you have updated to iOS 17.
