iOS 10, the new mobile operating system software from Apple for the iPhone and iPad devices, came to non-developers through a Public Beta on July 7. This has made it possible for them to download the software's preview version prior to its final release, which is set later this year.
Although the tech giant has already announced this during the WWDC 2016 event on June 13 in San Francisco, reports indicate that it is unlikely to be finished, and that compatibility and bug issues may likely come with some apps.
As the public launch of the iOS 10 comes near, its main features are believed to be already done, and that beta releases are finishing up the features and resolving the bugs that were discovered in the testing phase. According to Apple Insider, the immediate release of beta 7 is likely indicative of Apple's quick discovery of a bug found in iOS 10 beta 6.

Apple usually announces its new iOS iteration every June during its WWDC event in the US, as the final release date coincides with the launching of the company's new iPhones in September. That being said, the iOS 10 is expected to be available in September of this year, prior to the release of the upcoming iPhone 7, according to MacWorld.
While iOS 10 is set for release in September, there are rumors that it will be available sooner than the supposed released scheduled. According to reports, the iPhone 7 is expected to be made available on either Sept. 16 or 23, pre-loaded with iOS 10. In addition, the current iPads and iPhones are also believed to receive the update earlier, which is likely on Sept. 14.
