Apple has informed us that the iOS 16 downloadable formats should be available today. The information was spread on various social media platforms during the launch of the iPhone 14. The three models of different colours will hit the market on Friday, September 16th. So before the models are released iPhone wants to reach out to all users. iOS 16 is expected to hit the user phones around 1 PM Eastern Time, either an hour before or an hour after.
As soon as the iOS 16 release is downloadable, you must go to the setting app and then to General. iOS should be available to download.
