We expect the presentation of the iPhone 14 in a few weeks. In principle two, according to most rumors, although until Apple sends the invitations to the event we will not be out of doubt. And, as always happens in these cases, the great doubt that will remain until that very day is what exactly will be presented. With just a few days to go we’ll round up what the most credible rumors have to say, but even then, we’ll continue to harbor doubts until Tim Cook dismisses the event.
However, there are two announcements that we can take for granted. One is, of course, the iPhone itself, the epicenter of the event, and the second? The date on which those from Cupertino will release iOS 16, the new version of the operating system of Apple, and that will surely take place a few days after the event, before or coinciding with the arrival of the first iPhones at the points of sale, which if the presentation is confirmed in just over two weeks, could be on September 16 .
We do not expect big surprises in this regard since, as you will remember, the main new features of iOS 16 were already announced at the beginning of June, during WWDC 2022. However, during these months we have known, at least, of a new function, the Isolation mode, although it is true that the scope of it (in terms of the number of users for whom it will be useful) is quite limited. This tells us that iOS 16 could add more functions in the future, but at this moment we can already have a practically absolute certainty that it will not be for its launch.
And it is that, as we can read in MacRumors, Mark Gurman affirms that development work on iOS 16 concluded, in principle, this week (The text refers to last week, but let us remember that in the Anglo-Saxon world the count of the weeks usually starts on Sunday, not Monday, despite the fact that the weekend is made up of Saturday and Sunday).
«The iOS 16.0 update, which Apple engineers finished work on this past week, will be released in September alongside watchOS 9. Those updates will correspond with new hardware. Updates to macOS Ventura and iPadOS, on the other hand, are now scheduled for October (following delays related to the Stage Manager in the iPad software) to coincide with the new hardware lineup.»
She is serious one more sign that Apple wants to advance the launch of the iPhone by a weeksince only two weeks after its presentation, the installation of the operation in all the units that are being produced for its launch should be imminent, to the point that it is likely that it has already started or that it will do so in a few days .
