Anyone can test the new software for free when it is released this week.

A month ago, Mark Gurman said that the public version of the operating system should be released on July 11. According to Gurman, the public version of the software is expected to correspond with the third developer version.

The day of the week that the public version of the software will be released is not known. The embargoed reviews of the new MacBook Air are expected to be published on Thursday so it is possible that Apple will release the public version of the operating system by Wednesday. The public version of the operating system was released last year.

For those wondering where iOS 16 beta 2 is, the public beta (developer beta 3) should be out the week of July 11. So, based on past history, I’d guess that beta 2 is next week, with beta 3 to follow 2 weeks after that. — Mark Gurman (@markgurman) June 21, 2022

After 10:00 a.m., Apple usually releases new versions of the operating system. It is 1:00 p.m. in the Pacific time zone. There is a time in the U.K. where you can find it.

At Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference last month, it was announced that public versions of iPadOS, watchOS, and tvOS would be released in July. The tvOS based version of the HomePod software will be released.

If you sign up for the AppleBeta Software Program on your phone, you'll be ready for the public version of the operating system. The program will let you install a custom profile on your device that will allow you to install the new version over the air. The Feedback Assistant app can be used to give feedback.

There are bugs, incompatible apps, reduced battery life, and other issues that can be encountered in the iOS 16beta. It's a good idea to think carefully before installing the public version of the phone.

It is compatible with the newer versions of the phone. The software update, which should be released to all users in September, introduces a variety of new features.
