Apple released iOS 16 last year with a plethora of new additions and changes. However, the platform has a lot more to offer before Apple announces iOS 17 in June. Currently, the company is testing iOS 16.4, which is available to developers for all compatible iPhone models. The company previously stated that iOS 16.4 will be released to the general public sometime in Spring. Scroll down to read more details on iOS 16.4's release date and what features you should be looking forward to.
Apple will potentially release iOS 16.4 in the coming weeks with new features and performance enhancements
Apple holds an event every Spring where it sees fit to announce new hardware as well as software updates. So far, we have not heard any details on Apple's Spring event. We are expecting the company to announce the new 15-inch MacBook Air and other upgrades. It was previously noted by the Cupertino giant that Apple will release iOS 16.4 sometime in "Spring". If you are not familiar, Spring begins on March 20 and ends on June 21.
Take note that Apple will not release iOS 16.4 in June as the timeline is far too close to iOS 17 announcement. Instead, Apple could release iOS 16.4 in the coming weeks. Moreover, the company could have subsequent iOS 16 updates that it will release after iOS 16.4. We have previously reported that Apple will release its new Apple Music Classical app on March 28. What this means is that the company could bundle the app with the release of iOS 16.4 and iPadOS 16.4 next week.
However, the March 28 date is not official at this point, and Apple could release iOS 16.4 in the first or second week of April. Henceforth, we now have two potential timeframes to look forward to. Currently, iOS 16.4 is in its beta phase, with the fifth developer beta right around the corner. iOS 16.4 is a decent update considering the number of features it will bring to the table.
If you are not keeping up with the latest, iOS 16.4 will bring new emojis, Web Push Notifications for Safari, an updated Podcasts app, and much more. Front-facing features aside, the update will also bring numerous bug fixes and performance enhancements to the table alongside security updates. We will share more details on iOS 16.4 features as soon as further information is available. Apart from iOS 16.4, Apple will also make iPadOS 16.4, tvOS 16.4, watchOS 9.4, and macOS 13.3 available for the general public at the same time.
This is all there is to it, folks. Are you looking forward to the upcoming iOS 16.4 update? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
