Apple is intensifying internal testing of iOS 16.5 this month, according to mounting evidence of the update in our website’s analytics logs.
iOS 16.5 will likely be one of the last notable updates before Apple announces iOS 17 at WWDC in June.
It’s unclear what features will be introduced with iOS 16.5, but the wait continues for some previously-announced features, including the Apple Card savings account, Apple Music Classical app, and iMessage Contact Key Verification security option. Apple Pay Later is also coming soon, but is expected to be enabled with a server-side update.
MacDailyNews Take: Announced last October, as Apple Card users we want to finally be able to automatically deposit our Daily Cash into a new high-yield Savings accounts with no fees, no minimum deposits, and no minimum balance requirements! Hopefully, iOS 16.5 will finally deliver these new high-yield Savings accounts from Goldman Sachs.

For me, no compelling features. Skipping this one.
How are security updates, which are inevitable, and which are inevitably actively targeted, not an essential update?
I feel there’s an intelligence test at play here, and you’ve just publicly failed it.
Pretty sad stuff. Your mouth is desperately looking for a way to remove your foot.
It’d be nice if they fixed HomeKit.
That’s meant to be fixed in 16.4. Don’t you follow the news here at MDN?
