As usual, the update will be available to a few beta testers by September 2022, and a stable public rollout might happen after a few months of beta testing.

Which iPhones will get an iOS 16 Update?
As for the expected device, Apple rolled out six years of updates to its iPhone. From this, we firmly hope the iPhone 7 and iPhone 13 series will get the iOS 16 update.
The iOS 16 supported list will likely include iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus, iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus, iPhone X, iPhone XR, iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, iPhone 11 Pro Max, iPhone 12 mini, iPhone 12, iPhone 12 Pro, iPhone 12 Pro Max, iPhone 13 Mini, iPhone 13, iPhone 13 Pro, and iPhone 13 Pro Max.
It is worth mentioning that the iPhone 6s series might lack the iOS 16 update. The upcoming iPhone 14 lineup, namely iPhone 14, 14 Pro, 14 Max, and 14 Pro Max, will arrive with iOS 16.
iOS 16 Features (Expected)
The iOS 16 is expected to bring a major overhaul to the iOS 15. The iOS 16 might bring a new interactive widget; it is also expected that iOS 16 will bring a new ability to Siri voice assistant, which can transfer content directly from iOS to Mac and Apple TV. It will also come with a new focus toggle, which can turn on Focus mode directly from the toggle. An all-new background sound application is also expected to come. More features include all new privacy features, a new retouched home screen, and a user interface.
The iOS is already smooth and fast. But the iOS 16 will bring some smoother animation and a hassle-free experience. It is also said that users can order the foods directly from the Apple Maps from their preferred restaurant. The stock Photo application is expected to get retouched with all news feeds and stories as we see on Google Photos.
According to a report via Macrumors, iOS 16 will include a Safety Feature for the iPhone and Apple Watch called the Car Crash Detection feature. The feature will automatically detect when a user is involved in a car crash. It is currently being tested using millions of devices. The feature will use sensors like the accelerometer. The device will automatically dial the emergency service number when a crash is detected.
