14 DAY TRIAL // The month of September is projected to bring us not only a new generation of iPhones, but also an operating system update, with iOS 16 expected to be previewed at WWDC in two months.
Naturally, many people expect iOS 16 to be a massive update, and according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, they are not wrong.
This is exactly what the next iOS version is going to be, though aesthetically talking, it may not bring a massive facelift. The iOS interface hasn’t changed too much in the last few years, and even Gurman himself admits the look that debuted back in iOS 7 may not get a dramatic update this year.
On the other hand, iOS 16 is still expected to come with several notable goodies.
And one of them concerns the notifications, though, at this point, no further specifics are available. Of course, Apple has remained completely tight-lipped on everything regarding its next operating system update, and this makes perfect sense, as the company almost never discusses its upcoming releases.
Preview coming at WWDC in June
However, the company is projected to announce iOS at its developer conference on June 6, with a beta build to be released to testers after the event.
Gurman says some new health-tracking features are also planned for iOS 16, with the iPadOS multitasking interface also expected to receive a makeover.
This makes perfect sense, especially as this is an area that Apple is aggressively investing in.
Needless to say, we’ll find out more about iOS 16 in approximately two months when Apple previews the operating system update at WWDC. At this point, it’s not yet known if iOS 16 is supposed to support the same iPhone models as its predecessor, but it’s believed the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus would no longer receive the upcoming version of the operating system.
