hi everyone Aaron here for zollotech and today Apple released iOS security response 16.2 B to
developers and public beta testers it's available to both right now if you're on the iOS 16.2 betas
and we had a before this now we have B and we'll talk more about what's in this in a moment but
this came in at a very small 3.2 megabytes on my iPhone 14 pro Max it was even smaller on the
iPad Pro so if we go over to the iPad Pro go to settings you'll see it's installing it right now
we're preparing if I go to photos where I screen captured it you can see it was even smaller at
2.1 megabytes so very small updates that allow you to quickly install security updates and get
everything up to date that way without installing a whole OS let's go ahead and restart the iPad
install it now and when you go to actually install it if you go to settings and then
you go to General and then software update you'll actually see the update just like any other and
then you can install it you'll also have a prompt here that says security response available so I'll
go ahead and get this one started download and install we'll put in the passcode and it should
be a very fast download it may take a moment to actually install but you'll see it rebooted and
installed immediately on the iPad now let's take a look at the build number and then we'll talk about
what this is all about so we'll go to General then about and under about you'll see that we now have
a new version of 16.2 B with a build number of 20c 7750490f a pretty long build number but we
also have the original build number for beta 3 of 20c 5049e so we'll have dual updates here and
then we can remove the security response and the security response is just a test in fact someone
on Twitter at philosophy confirmed this last time based off of an Apple website and you'll see they
confirmed it again it says they can confirm that this update was another test and does not contain
any security content you can see that here it's a screen capture from that and what they're doing
is testing to different install methods whether that be from mobile device management if you're
in a large it environment you can try and Trigger the install remotely and see if it works and just
test it actually installing since these are on new type of update and in the future we'll have many
more of these updates so instead of having iOS 16.1.1 and then 16.1.2 where there's no features
or changes they can push out a security update very quickly and just patch what they need to now
within the software update it says for information on the security content of Rapid security
responses please visit this website if we go here this is the typical Apple security update website
and at this time there's not really anything new in here because it's not released to the public
but we should see that in the future now one thing I wanted to know is it asked me if I wanted to
install this even though I have a low battery situation so I'm under 20 on my iPhone 14 pro
we'll go ahead and tap install put in our passcode and now it says verifying security response
reboots and can install without having to have fifty percent battery or more or be plugged into
the charger that's something new we haven't seen before and it's just a small change meaning that
these are so small we'll probably see that in the future you don't need a whole lot of battery power
you reboot and you're good to go now other than that there's not much more to talk about other
than probably the beta this week iOS 16.2 beta 4 could release as soon as tomorrow or as late
as Thursday like it did last year last year it released on December 2nd which was a Thursday and
then the final release was on the week of the 13th last year which was a Monday this year I expect
the final release on the 12th so we're looking forward to that with more features there's over 20
maybe even 30 plus different changes and features in iOS 16.2 and of course as soon as those are
available I'll let you know and talk about offer everything new now as you can see it says it's
already installed on the 14 pro and we're good to go not a whole lot more to talk about but I
thought I'd just keep you informed as many people were saying we're only going to get this instead
of beta updates at this point we should get both I wouldn't expect we'll see many more security
response betas once they start releasing them to the public we'll probably have our normal
betas and then after that we'll probably just have security updates unless there's something major in
them and they want to see how it affects devices I really would not expect those to be pushed out
as betas like we're having now typically we'll have IOS 16.3 betas and probably not security
response updates but let me know if you think you will have anything different or you think they'll
change the way they're doing betas altogether I'd love to hear from you in the comments below of
