What’s new with iOS 16.6?

iOS 16.6 adds no new features to the system. That’s because Apple is expected to announce iOS 17 next week at WWDC 2023, so the company is probably focused on saving the new features for the next major update to its operating system. The same applies to macOS 13.5 beta and other software updates.

Developers with a device enrolled in the beta program can now download iOS 16.6 beta by going to Settings > General > Software Update. The build number is 20G5037d, while beta 1 is 20G5026e. A public beta should be made available very soon.

Here are the build numbers for all the other betas released today:
