What is rumored
Early versions of iOS have been leaked over the past few years, giving us a pretty good idea of what to expect. That’s not the case this year, and we only have a few details on what might be in iOS 16.
The iPhone 14 Pro models won’t have a standard notch, which means we could see some minor design changes, and there are rumors of Health app improvements such as: a drug management tool.
Unspecified notification updates are in the works, and we could see emergency satellite messaging capabilities and updates related to car crash detection. iPadOS 16 may get new multitasking features, and we could also see support for services Apple is working on, such as B. a hardware subscription service.
You can read a bit more about what could be coming in our dedicated iOS 16 roundup.
