You absolutely must know this before installing iOS 16.5

  • Apple prevents users who have installed iOS 16.5 from “rolling back” to the previous version (iOS 16.4.1)
  • This guarantees more security for the devices
  • With each new version of iOS, we witness this blocking

Users who have installed iOS 16.5 can no longer downgrade versions. It is in fact impossible for them to “return” to iOS 16.4.1, the fault of Apple which blocks the associated functionality. This practice is in fact completely harmless, given that this is what happens with each new version of the Apple company's mobile operating system. Another (iOS 17) is also expected for September, a major one, the first official details of which could be revealed during the Worldwide Developer Conference.

Good to know, however: if Apple pushes iOS 16.4.1 towards release, it's also for your own good. Indeed, we know that iOS 16.5 comes withmany patcheswhich fix crucial security vulnerabilities. At the same time, iPadOS 16.5 also arrived with similar solutions, but this time aimed at tablets.

Excellent statistics in sight for Apple

The forced transition to iOS 16.5 also risks persisting certain bugs from this edition, which would not have been present in the previous one. However, this is a good way for Apple to increase theadoption rateof the different versions of its operating systems, well beyond the figures that we can notably encounter on Android.

These results seem to have a direct impact on the attractiveness of pirates to this or that software. Indeed, according to comparisons of mobile antiviruses, malware today mainly attacks smartphones running the Google OS, with compromised iPhones being rarer. Despite everything, laboratories specializing in monitoring such as those of theNSO GroupToday, they continue to update themselves as soon as security patches are released by publishers like Alphabet and Apple – and no one seems to be able to fix it.

What's more, iOS 16.5 also bringsadditional featuresto iPhones which are equipped with it. The proprietary Siri voice assistant can trigger video recording of the screen (capture) upon oral request. With this, several wallpapersPrimededicated to the LGBT+ community are arriving in the dedicated settings.

As for technical problems that may be encountered, don't panic: the developer generally resolves them within a few days at most. In the end, it is therefore rarely necessary to downshift.
