Historic! Apple does a first, releases iOS16.0.1 for iPhone 14 even before sales start

Apple has released iOS 16.0.1 exclusively for the new iPhone 14 models just a few days after iOS 16 was released to all users on Monday. The new iPhone 14 lineup will be shipping with a version of iOS 16.0 that predates the official build (20A362). However, the new update (build number 20A371) comes with even more bug fixes for iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Plus, iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max. Notably, Apple has never released a software upgrade so early in the life cycle of an iPhone series.

Amazingly, this is happening even as the iPhone 14 sales have not even started. In fact, the phones will be available for sale from tomorrow, September 16 onwards and users will reportedly be prompted to skip straight to iOS 16.0.1.
