INTERNAL iOS issues could derail the new system’s launch plans, according to an Apple insider.
Apple is due to present iOS 16 on June 6th during its annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC), which will run through Friday, June 10th.

Following the initial unveiling, the first iOS 16 public beta should drop in July, according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman,
“iOS 16’s first public beta is scheduled alongside iOS 16 developer beta 3 in July,” Gurman said.
However, he added that typically, the first iOS public beta is released at the same time as the second developer beta.
This means that there could be a delay in the release of the first iOS 16 public beta.
“Current internal seeds are a bit buggy,” Gurman noted, however, “things are still fluid and could shift.”
Apple’s Beta Software Program
If you are an Apple device user, you have the opportunity to sign up for Apple’s Beta Software Program.
Joining this program lets users enroll their devices to access the public betas and try out the latest features.

However, some users need to be careful when installing beta software on their devices, Phone Arena points out.
“That’s because a beta release is not stable and some of the features you count on to work could be disabled by the beta software,” Alan Friedman writes for Phone Arena.
“For example, if you join the iOS 13 public beta program, that long battery life you enjoy when using the iPhone 13 Pro Max could shrink significantly until iOS 16 is officially released.”
iOS 16 rumors
In his newsletter Power On, Gurman shared some other thoughts about the upcoming iOS 16 update.
The Apple expert said that while he doesn’t predict a “full redesign” of the operating system, he does foresee “new ways of interacting.”
He said that the update will also likely include “fresh Apple apps.”
Last month, Gurman noted that iOS 16 may feature a new updated notifications system and some health-tracking capabilities.
Earlier leaks indicate that the phone may come equipped with a new “mega widget,” reportedly known as “InfoShack.”
This feature would allow iOS users to create customizable widgets.
