Apple has announced that the final version of iOS/iPadOS 16.5 will be released next week, along with several other updates including macOS Ventura 13.4, macOS Monterey 12.6.6, macOS Big Sur 11.7.7, watchOS 9.5, tvOS 16.5, HomePod-Software 16.5, and iOS/iPadOS 15.7.6 for older devices. The update is primarily focused on addressing newly discovered security vulnerabilities, along with several minor improvements and bug fixes.
Following the release of these updates, Apple is expected to provide release candidate builds for the upcoming system updates of macOS 13.5, macOS Monterey 12.6.7, iOS/iPadOS 16.6, and more, with the final versions set for release in July.
While the next major versions of Apple’s operating systems are set to debut at the upcoming WWDC23 developer conference, experts suggest that there may not be many major changes in macOS 14 and iOS/iPadOS 17. Instead, users are hoping for more quality improvements and bug fixes.
Apple’s commitment to addressing security issues and improving the user experience through updates is evident in this announcement, and users can look forward to enhanced security and functionality with the latest software releases.
