The feature is one of the inventions listed in the patent application.
It will likely be weeks before the update is ready to ship, since Apple is currently testing it with developers. There is an update for the iPhone 14 Pro and the iPhone 14 Pro Max. The initial version of iOS 16 is still being used by all compatible devices.
