Apple has just released the iOS 16 beta 7 as the operating system is reaching its final development. The beta 7 is finally available to developer beta testers as iOS 16 gets ready to release next month.

The New iOS 16 Beta 7 Doesn't Come with a Lot of New Features

According to the story by 9to5Mac, they are not expecting a lot of new features in the iOS beta 7. This is because Apple is already finalizing the release of the latest operating system ahead of its launch in September.

The build 20A5356a, iOS 16 beta 7, is finally available for download to those developers that are registered. The new version can be downloaded directly from the Settings app.

How to Download iOS Beta 7 Developer Beta Version

In order to gain access to the operating system, users will have to go to the Settings app, click on General, and choose Software Update. The update might take a few minutes before the beta version will become available for beta testers all around.

The iOS beta 6, which was released a week ago, only included a few changes to its features. During that time, Apple decided to focus on fixing certain last-minute bugs as well as certain issues when it came to performance.

The Company is Already Preparing for the More Advanced iOS 16.1 Version

Apple also wanted to optimize certain things like battery life. In a report by Bloomberg, it was noted that the company has finalized the iOS 16 internally and is already preparing for a more advanced iOS 16.1 version.

There are now rumors going on about the company potentially planning a special event for September 7. The event is where Apple could be revealing its upcoming iPhone 14 and new Apple Watch to the world.

Estimations of the iOS 16 Point Towards Release During the Week of September 12

9to5Mac notes that during the event, they are expecting the company to announce the official release date of the iOS 16, watchOS 9, and even the tvOS 16. Should Apple follow its previous patterns on release dates, this could result in the iOS being most likely released during the week of September 12.

When it comes to the iPad OS 16, it has reportedly been delayed until October. This is because Apple is still trying to improve the new multitasking feature called the Stage Manager.
