Apple releases beta number 8 of iOS 16 a few days after its final release.
Apple has released the beta number 8 of iOS 16 to developers accompanied by public beta 6 that any user can download on their iPhone. This beta comes just a week after the seventh, which indicates that its development is progressing very quickly to get the system ready for its official launch.
