Apple today seeded the first betas of upcoming iOS 16.3 and iPadOS 16.3 updates to developers for testing purposes, with the new betas coming one day after the launch of iOS 16.2 and iPadOS 16.2.
Registered developers can download the iOS 16.3 and iPadOS 16.3 profiles from the Apple Developer Center, and once installed, the beta will be available over the air.
There is no word yet on what's included in the betas, but it is possible that this is an emoji update as Apple has not introduced new emoji for some time. When we install the update and find out what Apple has added, we'll update this article.
I was figuring there would be an iOS 16.2.1 update next. :rolleyes:
I sure hope there is to remove this advertising in the Apple TV app. I hope I’m not the only one livid about this and sending Apple feedback. I mean the entire page is an advertisement with one thin strip of what I was actually watching.
