FULL STORY
======================================================================

iOS 16.4 only began rolling out to iPhone users this week, but that hasnt 
stopped Apple from launching the first beta for iOS 16.5. 

As reported by Bloombergs resident Apple expert Mark Gurman, iOS 16.5 is 
expected to be the final incremental iOS 16 update before the iOS 17 beta 
goes live in June, with only minor changes on the cards for apps, including 
Siri and Apple News. 

At this stage, it makes little sense to add anything of substance with iOS 17 
around the corner, Gurman wrote on Twitter, confirming that screen recording 
via Siri and a dedicated Sports tab in Apple News are the main additions in 
the first iOS 16.5 beta. 

With regards to screen recording via Siri, iOS 16.5 will let you start a 
screen recording by saying, Hey Siri, start a screen recording. Youll then be 
able to stop the recording by saying  you guessed it!  Hey Siri, stop screen 
recording. iOS 16.5 looks to be about as minor as iOS 16.4 with only screen 
recording via Siri and a dedicated Sports tab in Apple News as the main 
additions in Beta 1. At this stage, it makes little sense to add anything of 
substance with iOS 17 around the corner. March 28, 2023 See more 

For Apple News, iOS 16.5 will add a new Sports tab at the bottom of the 
screen. Currently, the My Sports section is positioned below the For You 
section on the Today screen. The dedicated Search tab will also form part of 
the Following tab in iOS 16.5. 

As additional iOS 16.5 betas roll out in the coming weeks, well likely learn 
more about other new features this upcoming incremental update will bring to 
the table. However, as with iOS 16.4  whose flagship improvement was improved 
phone call quality  were not expecting iOS 16.5 to radically reinvent the 
experience of using the best iPhones . iOS 16.4's headline feature brought

To install the iOS 16.5 beta on your own iPhone, head to Apples Beta page and 
register with your Apple ID. After that, log in to the Beta Software Program, 
enroll your iOS device, then head to your Settings app. Tap General, then 
Software Update, then select the iOS Public Beta in the Beta Updates section. 

iOS 16.5 proper is expected to roll out in either April or May 2023, before 
iOS 17 is officially unveiled at Apples WWDC developer conference in June. 

When it comes to the features iOS 17 could introduce, were not anticipating 
any groundbreaking additions, like the lock screen or home screen widget 
upgrades that came with previous iOS releases. 

However, although Bloombergs Mark Gurman had previously reported that 
development on the Apple VR headset would lead to fewer major changes for iOS 
17, the seasoned Apple expert has since claimed that the upcoming update will 
actually provide several of users most requested features. In practice, this 
will likely mean a range of significant upgrades to existing iPhone features 
and apps, like CarPlay, Siri and Messages.
