Apple has announced the release of the iOS 16.3 iOS beta version that includes the features like Apple Card Savings Account, Apple Pay Later, Security Keys for Apple ID, Apple Music Classical, Custom Accessibility Mode, and Advanced Data Protection for iCloud beyond the United States. 

The beta is already available for the developers and could be available to Apple’s public beta program for iOS before the end of this year.

Please note that Apple has announced these features, but there is no update about when these features will be released. However, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman has reported that Apple targets a release date sometime in February or early March. 

The physical security keys feature will strengthen Apple’s existing two-factor authentication for Apple ID, and it’s going to be especially useful for public figures whose profiles and accounts are always at threat by hackers. 

Example includes celebrities, politicians, high-level government officers, and journalists. As the name suggests, you will need to have a physical security key as one of the two factors while signing into your Apple ID account.

An existing feature of Advanced Data Protection for iCloud in iOS 16.2 can now become available for citizens outside the states with iOS 16.3 update. Going forward, you can also expect to have an introductory guide on transferring control of music playback from an iPhone to a HomePod speaker to become easily accessible to a wider audience. 

You should note that this feature was already in existence, but this update will make the audience aware of the Handoff capability.

Moreover, you can also expect the feature of “Apple Music Classical,” dedicated to the classical music app, along with the “Apple Pay Later,” for users to split payments into four installments with Apple’s payment service that is yet to be released; due since the September release of the latest iPhone software version.

One of the most exciting features of the iOS 16.3 updates could be the custom accessibility mode allowing streamlining of the home screen and controls on text sizes – as hinted during the iOS 16.2 betas. Nonetheless, it would be exciting to see emerging features on the way of the iOS 16.3 beta process.
