Apple’s next significant operating system updates are expected to arrive around the middle of December, with improvements including iOS 16 following in February or March.
On October 24, Apple published a slew of operating system upgrades, including iOS 16.1, iPadOS 16.1, macOS Ventura, and others. However, customers may have to wait a long time for the next major update release from the iPhone maker.
Apple is now beta-testing iOS 16.2, iPadOS 16.2, watchOS 9.2, tvOS 16.2, and macOS Ventura 13.1. As is customary, Apple will most likely do numerous rounds of testing before making the product available to the public.
The iOS 16.2 and iPadOS 16.2 upgrades “should be published in mid-December,” according to Mark Gurman’s “Power On” newsletter. Gurman did not specify whether this was information supplied to him from Apple, but it might just be an informed assumption based on the average amount of betas and the frequency with which they are issued.
For example, macOS 12.2 was made available to the public on January 26, 2022, while 12.3 was published on March 14, 2022. Meanwhile, iOS 15 and iPadOS 15.2 were released on December 13, 2021, 15.3 versions on January 26, and 1.5.4 on March 14.
Gurman believes he was told the release of the M2 variants of the 14-inch MacBook Pro and 16-inch MacBook Pro were “connected” to the release of macOS Ventura 13.3 and iOS 16.3. These changes are said to be coming “between early February and the beginning of March.”
Given Apple’s preference for releasing similar version-level releases at the same time, equivalent macOS, iPadOS, tvOS, and watchOS releases are likely to be delivered alongside them.
