The new version of iOS can be installed on your iPhone today, provided you have a developer account. However, handling is not without risk and requires some precautions.
While Apple lifted the veil a few days ago on the new features to come in iOS 16, the next version of the iPhone operating system is already available for download. The iPhone operating system can be installed now on all compatible devices, provided certain prerequisites are met.
However, as usual, Apple reserves the first iOS betas for developers only. And that for good reasons. These preliminary versions of iOS, still at a very early stage of development, are indeed extremely unstable and still have many bugs. If Apple offers them so early to developers, it is simply to allow them to look now at future updates to their applications. By taking action immediately, they can ensure that they will be fully supported on all iPhones as soon as Apple rolls out the final stable version of iOS 16.
Starting now to install iOS 16 on your device exposes you to risks that you will then have to assume. Because in addition to the potential bugs, it is likely that the autonomy of your iPhone will take a hit and that certain applications that you use daily simply no longer work.
If despite these warnings you feel like an adventurer, you can consider installing iOS 16 without waiting for the first public beta that Apple should release in July. Remember one key point. If you take the risk of installing this beta on your main iPhone, back up all of your data before you start.
