iOS 16.6 is compatible with all later devices to the iPhone X and iPhone 8 onwards, including the second generation iPhone SE. In terms of compatibility, it has not undergone any type of change.
This update brings some little changes, but the most striking of all is that this update has had some changes between the beta version and the final version. For example, some security features, as the verification of accounts appeared in the Beta version in the official version of iOS 16.6, it does not appear. We assume that Apple will leave this functionality for iOS 17.
