Continuing the beta run, Apple has released iOS 16.1 beta 4. Apple seeds the fourth beta to the developers first, and after a few hours, the update goes live for the public beta testers. iOS 16.1 is going to be the first major update for iOS 16 which was released two weeks ago. With the release of the new beta, the public build release is nearing.
As you know Apple has not released iPadOS 16 to the public and they will release iPadOS 16.1 directly. And as iOS 16.1 beta and iPadOS 16.1 beta are in perfect sync now, the iOS update is expected to release alongside iPadOS 16.1 which will go live by the end of this month.
Along with iOS 16.1 Beta 4, Apple has also released iPadOS 16.1 Beta 5, macOS Ventura 13.0 Beta 10, and tvOS 16.1 Beta 4. The watchOS beta has not been released, but we can see its beta this week.
