Apple Says Public Betas of iOS 16, macOS Ventura, and More Available in July
Apple today during its WWDC 2022 keynote announced that the first betas of iOS 16, iPadOS 16, macOS Ventura, watchOS 9, and tvOS 16 will be available to developers starting today, and the first public betas of both updates will be released in July.
Apple did not outline a specific day in July when the public betas will become available.
Those interested in installing the developer betas on their devices can sign up for an Apple Developer Program membership, which costs $99 per year in the United States. Those who do not want to register as a developer can join Apple's free Beta Software Program for access to the public betas when released in July.
iOS 16 is compatible with the iPhone 8 and newer, while watchOS 9 is compatible with the Apple Watch Series 4 and newer. iPadOS 16 is compatible with the iPad (5th generation and later), iPad mini (5th generation and later), iPad Air (3rd generation and later), and all iPad Pro models, and here is a macOS Ventura compatibility list. tvOS 16 is compatible with all Apple TV HD and Apple TV 4K models.
