Apple releases the first beta version of iOS 16.3 and iPadOS 13.6
Apple has made the first beta version of iOS 16.3 and iPadOS 16.3 available to public beta testers, providing the new software to the general public for the first time. These public beta versions arrive a day after the company made the same version available to developers.
Public beta testers who have signed up for Apple’s beta testing program can download beta versions of iOS 16.3 and iPadOS 16.3 via OTA after installing the appropriate certificate from the Public Beta website.
So far, these two updates appear to be just minor tweaks from previous releases, namely iOS 16.2 and iPadOS 16.2. The software includes support for physical security keys to add an additional layer of protection to an Apple ID.
With this feature, a FIDO-certified physical security key can be used in place of device authentication when logging into an Apple ID in iCloud or a new device.
The update also includes a more streamlined process for transferring music to a HomePod from an iPhone and vice versa, with Apple providing additional details on how it works. No other major changes have been found in this new beta version so far.
