Developers can download iOS 16.5
Apple has restarted the beta cycle for developers by releasing the first betas of iOS 16.5 and iPadOS 16.5.
Registered developers will have the option to enable developer betas directly in Settings, which Apple released in iOS 16.4. Moving forward, Apple will shift to this as the only method to get the betas.
The first betas for iOS 16.5 and iPadOS 16.5 have the build number 20F5028e, up from 20E246 from the release candidates. So far, there are no hints of what new features these betas may offer.
AppleInsider and Apple strongly suggest users don’t install beta operating systems or other beta software on “mission-critical” or primary devices, as there is the small chance of issues that could result in the loss of data. Testers should instead use secondary or non-essential hardware and ensure they have sufficient backups of their critical data at all times.
