We've summarized some highlights below, but everything new in iOS 16.4 can be found in our dedicated guide. IOS 16.4 is a major update with a long list of features.

Software updates can also come on Mondays and Wednesdays, so the Mondays and Wednesdays of those weeks could also be the potential release dates. With these dates in mind, the most probable candidates for an iOS 16.4 launch include Tuesday, March 28 Tuesday, April 4 and Tuesday, April 11. iOS 15.5 - The RC was released on May 12 after four betas, a launch followed on May 16.iOS 15.6 - The RC was released on July 12 after six betas, a launch followed on July 20.iOS 16.1 - The RC was released on October 18 after five betas, a launch followed on October 24.iOS 16.2 - The RC was released on December 7 after four betas, a launch followed on December 13.iOS 16.3 - The RC was released on January 18 after two betas, a launch followed on January 23.Some past beta timelines for recent updates: With that in mind, we get at least one more beta followed by a release candidate, which is a software update that Apple provides to testers that marks the same version of an update that's expected to be delivered to the public. It's likely iOS 16.4 will be released in late March, though we could also see the update introduced in the first week or two of April.Īpple has provided us with three developer betas and three public betas so far, and while the number of betas we get varies, we do often see at least four or five before a public launch. Officially, Apple says that the iOS 16.4 and its sister updates iPadOS 16.4, macOS Ventura 13.3, tvOS 16.4, and watchOS 9.4 will be released in the 'spring.' The spring equinox (aka the first day of spring) is on Monday, March 20, and the season will last through June 21. Software updates go through several rounds of testing with developers and public beta testers ahead of launch, so when can we expect to see iOS 16.4 provided to the public? Apple's next operating system update will be iOS 16.4, with the software in beta testing as of February 16.
