Apple is working around the clock on a new version of iOS, and this could make many people think of iOS 16, it looks like the Cupertino-based tech giant is actually focused on two different fronts at this point.

More specifically, in addition to the super highly anticipated iOS 16, Apple is also trying to further polish the experience with iOS 15, the major update that it shipped the last fall.

So until iOS 16 arrives in the stable form, Apple just wants to make sure that the experience is as reliable as possible on all iPhones out there.

This is why today, the company has released iOS 15.6 beta 1 to developers out there, therefore starting the work on another update for iOS 15.

No further information has been shared on what exactly is new in this beta, but for now, it’s important to know that a public beta isn’t yet available. Only developers can download it, but most likely, a public beta build is also on its way and could see the daylight at some point in the coming days.

iOS 16 is also coming

Obviously, iOS 16 is the release that’s catching everybody’s attention these days, especially as Apple is expected to provide the world with a preview at WWDC.

But according to people close to the matter, it could take longer until we get our hands on a public beta build of iOS 16. This is because the current builds that the company is testing behind the closed doors are kind of buggy, so Apple needs more time to further polish the experience with this early release.

iOS 16 is projected to be announced in September alongside the new-generation iPhone, with the public rollout to also begin during the same month.
