Release notes

What changed

Original editorial synthesis. Linked references appear with the claims they support and in the source ledger.

Preserved release-note state

The archived Apple reader identifies this document as “iOS & iPadOS 16 Beta 2 Release Notes.” This iOS page selects 19 substantive records from the 175-record initial Beta 2 state.[1]

How this milestone differs

Against Beta 1, the parser found 31 additions, no removals, and 35 records whose heading or text changed. Only exact issue-ID additions or meaningful status transitions are used for later milestones; wording-only edits are not presented as release changes.[2][3]

Platform scope

The selection retains shared SDK records and notes explicitly scoped to iPhone or iOS. iPad-only Stage Manager, external-display, and iPad hardware claims are excluded.[4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22]

Editorial boundary

This article is original synthesis with issue-ID locators. It does not reproduce Apple’s list text, infer build numbers, assign the June 28 document revision to a nonexistent route, or copy the cumulative Beta 7 state into missing milestones.[23][24]
