Apple just announced several updates to the iPhone, iPad, and Mac. You can install the developer previews now, but you shouldn't.
Apple on Monday held the opening keynote for the Worldwide Developer Conference 2022, where the company announced iOS 16, iPadOS 16, macOS Ventura and WatchOS 9. The software updates include a long list of new features and improvements, ranging from the ability to edit or delete sent messages in iMessage to external monitor support for M1 iPads.
As is customary, Apple has released the first developer beta for the unfinished operating systems so app makers can begin to integrate the new APIs and features into their own apps.
Anyone with a paid developer account will have access to the beta(s) and can install the update(s) on a compatible device with just a few clicks or taps. And even if you don't have a paid developer account, it's only a matter of time before the proper beta profiles are shared that allow you to install the betas even though you haven't paid Apple the $99 a year that's required for legitimate access to the betas.
Apple has said that the public beta for all of the software announced on Monday will go live next month, giving anyone access to the updates. I've included a full list of iPhone and iPad models that are compatible with iOS 16 and iPadOS 16 at the bottom of this post.
