Grab your iPhone or iPad and check out Apple’s “AR Experience” teaser ahead of WWDC.

Apple has a little AR teaser for WWDC (spotted by MacRumors). To see it, visit the Apple Events website using Safari on your iPhone or iPad and tap “AR Experience,” point your camera at a wall, and you’ll get a colorful animated logo with June 6th, 2023 — the WWDC keynote date — printed inside.

Apple’s mixed reality headset is expected to be the biggest announcement at this year’s WWDC.

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.

If you like to crank up your music, you may hurt your ears.

According to the CDC, repeated exposure to loud sounds — say, listening to your favorite music at ear-splitting levels via your earphones — can permanently damage your hearing.

Apple just released iOS 16.5, but there’s already betas for iOS 16.6.

As MacRumors spotted, it might introduce support for iMessage Contact Key Verification, which is intended to make it easier to verify you’re actually chatting with the person you think you’re talking to. Otherwise, it seems like a relatively small update so far.
