As well as an update for older devices

Apple has released iOS 16.5, the fifth major update to the iOS 16 mobile platform. The update isn’t as remarkable as some of the previous ones, but it does include some important bug fixes and new features.

First, Apple added a dedicated Sports tab to Apple News, giving sports fans quick access to stories, scores, standings and more. Users can choose their favorite teams and leagues to receive news about them.

A number of bugs have also been fixed:

Fixed an issue that caused issues with downloading podcasts to Apple CarPlay.

Special attention should be paid to security fixes.

According to Apple’s security support documents, the iOS 16.5 update fixes a long list of vulnerabilities, including three WebKit “holes” that have been heavily exploited by attackers.

You can install it on devices such as iPhone 6s (all models), iPhone 7 (all models), iPhone SE (1st generation), iPad Pro (all models), iPad Air 2 and later, iPad 5th generation and newer, iPad mini 4 and later, and iPod touch (7th generation).
