Apple releases iOS 16.5 with easier access to sports news

Apple has one more batch of major OS updates in store ahead of WWDC. The company has released iOS 16.5, iPadOS 16.5 and macOS 13.4 updates that all have an Apple News section dedicated to sports. You can keep up with rankings, scores and stories without having to wade through other articles. There are likewise score and schedule cards in News that jump directly to pages for particular games.

Apple TV 4K users, meanwhile, get a Multiview feature that shows up to four sports streams at once in the TV app. That includes Friday Night Baseball games as well as MLS Season Pass matches, but we wouldn’t count on third-party service support.

Other improvements aren’t quite so dramatic. Both iOS 16.5 and watchOS 9.5 respectively add Pride wallpaper and watch face options (shown above). You can also expect the usual round of bug fixes, including issues with CarPlay and Spotlight on iOS as well as Screen Time syncing on multiple platforms.

This probably won’t be the last substantial update before iOS 17. MacRumors understands that Apple is privately testing iOS 16.6, and might offer a public beta in the near future. Whatever happens, it’s evident Apple is winding down work on its current software as it prepares to deliver major updates this fall.
