The first steps have been taken. Apple had one earlier this week first look at iOS 16 given and the first beta for registered developers was published at the same time. On the way to the final version (this is expected for September) it is now a matter of implementing all the planned functions and eliminating as many errors as possible. More intensively than ever, beta testers should contribute to making the software bug-free.
Apple wants to increase the quality of iOS 16
Again and again in recent years, criticism has arisen that the initial release of a major iOS update contained too many errors. This year Apple is taking further measures and wants to get its developers on board more. Beta 1 is still only available to registered developers. Apple will release a first public beta for iOS 16 and Co. in July. Then the feedback from participants in the Apple beta program is certainly in demand.
The first beta versions are usually still very buggy, so Apple strongly recommends installing them on a second device rather than on a productive iPhone. However, submitting bugs and feedback is sometimes complicated, and beta testers don’t always report problems they encounter. The lack of feedback makes it difficult for Apple to identify bugs and fix them before the software goes to market. This year they want to change and optimize the procedure.
Macrumors knows to report that starting with beta 1 to iOS 16, the system will automatically prompt beta testers to send the issue to Apple, including all relevant logs, if a iPhone experiences a crash, reboot, or fatal system-wide error. This information is intended to be used by Apple’s technicians to fix the bugs.
Just before WWDC, Apple had published tipshow developers or beta testers best submit bug reports.
