Apple released a number of new betas this week. This includes iOS 16.1 Beta 1, watchOS 8.1 Beta 1, iPadOS 16.1 Beta 2, and more.
These new betas come the same week Apple released iOS 16 and watchOS 9 and bring some new features to Apple’s devices.
iOS 16.1 Beta 1 brings some features to the iPhone that were missed in the iOS 16 release. You can find out more about these in Brandon Butch’s new video.
New features added to iPhone with this update include the new Live Activities feature on the lock screen.
The Battery Percentage feature has also been added to all iOS 16 compatible devices. This includes iPhone XR, iPhone 11, iPhone 12 Mini, and Phone 13 Mini. These devices did not get the functionality on iOS 16.
The new iOS 16.1 Beta 1 is now available for developers to try. A new public beta will also be released soon.
This is the first beta of the series, so it will be some time before the final version of the software is released. We will inform you as soon as we know the details such as the release date.
