All signs point to Apple officially releasing iOS 16 sometime in the middle of September, likely right around when the iPhone 14 comes out. But you can totally try iOS 16 now, if you don’t mind rolling the dice on a beta.
Ideally, we’d suggest installing the update on an iPhone that isn’t your main device to prevent any potential data loss. (You never know what can happen with beta software.) That said, in our experience, the iOS 16 developer and public betas have been pretty stable and most of the bugs have already been ironed out.
