The iOS 16.6 beta is now out for public testing.

iOS 16.6 is in beta for public testers, just a few days after the iOS 16.5 update and 16.6 developer beta dropped on Thursday and Friday, respectively.

Don’t expect to see any significant updates this close to the presumed announcement of iOS 17 at next month’s WWDC. It’s likely iOS 16.6 beta will mostly be testing small bug fixes.
