Apple has just released iOS 16.5, as well as iPadOS 16.5, in a surprising move. I say surprising because point updates like this one don’t typically roll out on a Thursday. Generally on a Monday or Tuesday. Especially after we got a second release candidate earlier this week. But it’s here. So what’s new this time around?
This is the fifth point release for iOS 16, so there’s not a whole lot of major features coming here, but there are some nice changes coming to different apps. Here’s the changelog from Apple.
This update includes the following enhancements and bug fixes:
– A new Pride Celebration wallpaper for the Lock Screen to honor the LGBTQ+ community and culture
– Sports tab in Apple News gives easy access to stories, scores, standings, and more, for the teams and leagues you follow
– My Sports score and schedule cards in Apple News take you directly to game pages where you can find additional details about specific games
– Fixes an issue where Spotlight may become unresponsive
– Addresses an issue where Podcasts in CarPlay may not load content
– Fixes an issue where Screen Time settings may reset or not sync across all devices
Some features may not be available for all regions or on all Apple devices. For information on the security content of Apple software updates, please visit this website: https://support.apple.com/kb/HT201222
This is likely the final update for iOS 16
With WWDC happening next month, and iOS 17 being announced at WWDC, this is likely the last major update we’ll see for iOS 16. As the iOS team moves more attention over to iOS 17. With iOS 17 being announced next month, and rolling out in September, we’ll still likely see some updates to iOS 16.5, but don’t expect a 16.6 update. We will likely see just bug fixes from Apple, in the form of a 16.5.1 release.
