This is what iOS 16 Live Activities would look like

Do we have a date for the release of iOS 16?
Officially, there is no fixed date for the release of iOS 16although some rumors speculate that the update is out and Apple is only waiting for the release of iPhone 14 to release the update.
And, according to the most recent rumors, the date set for the launch of the iPhone 14 could be September 7th. If it’s true, we hope that on the same day Apple will release the release candidate (RC) of iOS 16 for developers and beta testers.
Following this rumor, we could see the first orders of iPhone 14 two days later, which means that users would have their new iPhone from a week later, around September 16, which would indicate that the launch of iOS 16 for all users would be between September 12 and 15.
However, all these dates are only guesses Until Apple confirms nothing officially.
