Apple officially announced iOS 16 official version! Push time, models announced: RC candidate version is open for download

Along with the release of the new iPhone 14 series, Apple announced that it will push out the official iOS 16 version on September 12 (Monday).

Right after the launch, iOS 16 RC version has been available for Beta testing and download for developers, the so-called RC is the candidate version, which can also be interpreted as the quasi official version.

Other operating systems, WatchOS 9 official version is also September 12, as for macOS Ventura and iPadOS 16 official version, it is expected in October.

The official website shows that iOS 16 will support iPhone SE 2 and all subsequent models, but iPhone 7 and previous devices will not be available.

The most intuitive change in iOS 16 is the new lock screen, which includes a hierarchical background image, widgets, notification messages at the bottom, and a rest screen for iPhone 14 Pro/Pro Max, as well as shared libraries and global text recognition. We will have to wait for time to test it.

In addition, since iPhone 14 Pro/Pro Max abandoned the bangs screen and adopted the new Ling Ling Island hole design, many more interactive operations and support for the rest screen display, its iOS 16 system experience will be more unique then.
