How To Download iOS 16?

Basically, all phones from iPhone 8 and above will get iOS 16 support. If you own an iPhone 7 or older, you won't be able to experience the iOS 16 software. If you're looking to try the iOS 16 beta, here are the steps to do it:

Step 1: Firstly, you need to register your smartphone with Apple via the Beta Software Program or just like on this link

Step 2: Click on Sign up if you're a new member or click on sign in if you've already registered before.

Step 3: Once done, the iOS software will show up in your Settings > General > Software Update

Step 4: Remember to backup your data as the iOS 16 public beta will be full of bugs that could damage your device

Step 5: Once done, you can download and install the iOS 16 update on your iPhone

Similarly, you can also get the iPadOS 16 update for your iPad Pro or iPad Air. It's advised to try public beta software on spare phones as you might lose some data because of bugs. If you're unsure about getting the new software right away, you have to wait for a couple more months for the stable version to fully rollout.

The stable iOS 16 update will arrive for all supported iPhone models in the fall. This is also the time when Apple will announce the new iPhone 14 series. The next-gen Apple Watch Series 8 and the Apple Watch Pro are tipped to launch.
