JAKARTA - Before the Worldwide Developers Conference 2023 (WWDC) was held in June, Apple was reportedly speeding up testing iOS 16.5 internally this month.
Most likely, iOS 16.5 will be one of the last important updates before Apple announces iOS 17 at its annual celebration.
Unfortunately, there is no detailed information yet on what Apple will bring to iOS 16.5, but not a few are looking forward to features such as Apple Card savings accounts, Apple Music Classics apps and iMessage Contact Key Verification security options.
Likewise, new services are now paying later, Apple Pay Later. Keep in mind that Apple only has iOS 16.3.1, which the company recently launched the first 16.4 beta iOS, which is only available to developers and testers.
Among these confirmed features of beta, there are new emojis, push web notifications, and improvements in the Podcast app.
Meanwhile, for iOS 17, Bloomberg journalist Mark Gurman said Apple will introduce next-generation CarPlay, which will offer deeper integration with vehicle functions such as A/C and FM radio, support for multiple views across dashboards, increased personalization, and more.
Apple said the first vehicles with the next-generation CarPlay will be announced by the end of 2023, with committed brands including Acura, Audi, Ford, Honda, Mercedes-Benz, Nissan, Porsche, Volvo and others.
In addition, iOS 17 is also claimed to allow alternative application stores on iPhones in Europe, as required by the regulation on the Digital Markets Act.
Gurman previously reported that the changes would be implemented in mid-2024 as part of a newer version of iOS 17, as quoted from MacRumors, Monday, February 27.
