Apple’s iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro series of smartphones ship with iOS 16 out of the box. If you have a reasonably modern iPhone, the device is sure to support Apple’s latest mobile operating system. While you can install iOS 16 beta on any modern iPhone, the stable version will be downloaded soon.
Apple has confirmed that the stable version of iOS 16 will be available on September 12 for iPhones in India and across the country. Here’s everything you need to know about the stable release of iOS 16 and the list of devices that officially support it.
Unlike the Android OS release, where the update is only available for Google Pixel smartphones on the same day, the iOS update is available for all eligible devices at the same time. Therefore, iPhone X and iPhone 13 Pro Max will receive the iOS 16 update on the same day.
Features of iOS 16
Depending on the mode of the iPhone, the feature set on iOS 16 will vary. Always-on display and dynamic island are only available on iPhone 14 Pro series, while features like customizable lock screen will be limited to new iPhone models like iPhone 12, iPhone 13 and iPhone 14 series.
