iOS 16.5 push update, the official version will be released soon

iOS 16.5 Beta 4 Update

Yesterday morning, Apple pushed the iOS 16.5 Beta 4 developer test version, a week after the last update. The version number of this update is 20F5059a, and ending with the letter "a" usually means that the official version is approaching, and the official version is expected to be released in the middle and late part of this month.

This update does not add any new features, it is mainly for bug fixes and optimization. No changes worth mentioning were found after the update. The only visible change is that when you add a new lock screen, you will see that the rainbow wallpaper that was previously classified as "Favorites" is now classified into the new "Rainbow" category.

As of now, iOS 16.5 system has added voice start/stop screen recording function for Siri. At present, the iOS 16 update has basically ended. You don’t have to expect too much from the iOS 16 update. Let’s look forward to the iOS 17 update next month!

iOS 17 latest news

Recently, news person @analyst941 tweeted again, bringing a demonstration of the actual machine interface running iOS 17, showing some new features in more detail.

Wallet Application

@analyst941 said that Apple will update and adjust the operating interface of the Wallet app in iOS 17, and plans to have a new navigation bar at the bottom of the app with five options: cards, cash, keys, identity documents, and orders.

Health Apps

Apple will also bring a wave of updates to the Health App, redesigning the "Personal Collection" interface under the "Summary" column, and changing the personal collection interface from a list style to a card style.

Earlier, there were reports that Apple will add health features to iOS 17, bringing new features such as emotion tracking and vision monitoring to further improve the functionality of the Health App.

Lock screen

Apple first launched the custom lock screen feature in iOS 16, and there will be a wave of updates in iOS 17, including support for previewing all lock screen schemes at the same time in the form of thumbnails. Users can save their own lock screen schemes; more fonts and more system wallpapers.

It is basically certain that iOS 17 will focus on stabilizing the system and optimizing the user experience, and will not bring any eye-catching updates. There is still a month before iOS 17 is released, so let's wait and see.
