Besides confirming that Apple is working on a new pair of Beats earbuds, the iOS 16.4 update also showcases new exciting features.

Mac Rumors notes that it brings VoiceOver support for maps in the Weather app. It also introduces notifications for Safari web apps on the Home Screen.

Back to the Beat Studio Buds Plus, The Verge notes that sources close to the matter revealed what we could expect from it.

The news outlet notes that the new "Plus" variant offers a couple of welcome upgrades, usually seen on higher-end earbuds like the AirPods Pro.
