Apple has added a new feature to iOS 16 that allows users to back up their iCloud devices over an LTE connection, as well as 5G, just like iOS 15.

Apple released the second beta for iOS 16 developers on Wednesday, and notes on its release include new backup features for it and iPadOS 16:

Customers using iOS 16 can now back up their device via an LTE cellular connection as well as a 5G or Wifi connection. (95276719)

IOS 15 customers now have the option to back up their devices via cellular connection, but it is currently limited to 5G. The new feature in iOS 16 allows users to back up their devices even when 5G is not an option and not connected to Wi-Fi, which is definitely a welcome improvement.

Other updates in the beta round this week include confirmation that you will no longer be able to use your iPad as a home center. Apple has also added support for a new anti-fraud feature that displays the official logo of some companies in their emails, and the inclusion of the RoomPlan framework, which will allow developers to create applications that can be used to scan rooms in 3D.

iOS 16 is coming to all of Apple’s best iPhones, including the iPhone 13 and the expected iPhone 14 later this year.
