iOS 16 Launches Today Every Big Change Hitting Your iPhone

The IOS version number of your iPhone has been announced by Apple. And now the company is announcing today every big change coming with its new update for all users of its existing smartphones and other products.

The first major upgrade comes in IOS 14 which brings a redesign of the home screen, a new system icon, an updated camera app (which also adds support for video capture), and changes to accessibility. Other improvements include smoother performance, redesigned widgets to enhance information-displaying for notifications and quick access to a home screen, and more. Another important note is that it will only be available for developers – you can find more details here.

The two biggest changes are a new look and feel for the Home Screen widget with a rounded design, and an option to toggle between home screen layouts and make different combinations of various categories. These options will help users with organizing their IOS experience and making better use of your device’s space for all your content apps, including videos. It will also allow some users to customize their IOS experience without having to develop custom settings for each one of them separately.

Other features include several performance enhancements, such as memory management and battery consumption analysis, and many others, depending on what your priorities are. IOS 15 will also introduce support for multiple displays so users can have two side-by-side or full desktop screens and four walled ones. This is going to allow a lot of possibilities when using Apple devices, especially on the Mac. It will also bring native Touch ID support so that no matter if you are using a laptop or PC – both will work together just like with Apple Pencil or AirPods or another compatible peripheral. For older devices this feature may not be available at launch.

For iPad users, there will also be some significant updates. Firstly, they will be able to edit text directly on the main display, which should make things easier since we already used to do it before as we did on iPhones but now we will be able to do it on our iPads too. Secondly, they will be able to switch from landscape to portrait mode automatically based on the current situation and that the keyboard will be available along with Apple Pencil or AirPods functionality even if you do not use any specific accessory. Lastly, due to the pandemic people probably prefer more flexibility than typing. They will also get a notification bell on the lock screen and will have easy access to Siri as well. All these features come with an improvement on iOS 14.0 and Android 10 but they still take much longer (typically 5-10 minutes) to adapt as compared to the previous versions. As usual, these are very minor updates which IOS 15 will require an internet connection to start downloading.
