Perhaps this seemed like the year to do it, thanks to the iOS 16 capability to have multiple lock screens on the go. Apple releases a Pride Apple Watch band each year, sometimes two, with several related Watch faces, but an iPhone wallpaper is a change. That’s because there’s a new Pride Celebration wallpaper. Next, click on Download and Install, and it’ll all be sorted for you. Updating is straightforward: open the Settings app on the device, choose General, then Software Update. Apple iOS 16.5 runs on all iPhones from the iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus and iPhone X onwards, and this update includes features relevant to all those handsets. If you have an iPhone released in late 2017 or later, you’re golden.
In the initial release, the feature doesn’t appear to be working, so it may be that Apple is merely laying the foundations at this stage. This is one of the last features promised for iOS 16, and iOS 16.6 looks like being perhaps the very last update before iOS 17 begins-unless there are bug squishes or Rapid Security Responses, of course. Apple says, “users who face extraordinary digital threats - such as journalists, human rights activists, and members of government - can choose to further verify that they are messaging only with the people they intend.”
Initial reports suggest that the update may include iMessage Contact Key Verification, designed to provide “users with even stronger ways to protect their data”, as Apple says. Meantime, yes, iOS 16.6 is already available to developers. This is not a widely used accessory, so it’s unlikely to be a widespread issue, but I’ll let Gordon tell you if it’s an important development. One headlining issue that’s come to light so far is that the USB 3 camera adapter which connects to the iPhone’s Lightning socket is not working for several users, as reported by MacRumors. Gordon explains the zero-days in accessible terms and will update his guide as more evidence appears. Also, check out Gordon Kelly’s essential guide to whether you should get the new software or not.
