iOS 16 is here: the lock screen is finally renewed and the widgets are more useful than ever

Apple has finally released the news of iOS 16, the new version of the iPhone operating system. Although in recent months we have indeed begun to learn some details through the inevitable leaks, it was not until WWDC 2022 that those from Cupertino cleared up any doubts about the update. If no unforeseen event arises, it will be available to everyone between September and October of this year. Thus coinciding with the presentation of the new generation of the aforementioned smartphone.

With each version of iOS that Apple introduces, the following question quickly arises: is this a significant leap?

IOS 15 was indeed considered by many to be a “minor” update. Although iOS 16 does not come to revolutionize the operation of the terminal —and much less in the mobile phone industry—, it does introduce some features that users have been waiting for years and that, for one reason or another, Apple had not been encouraged to offer.

In this sense, the biggest novelty of iOS 16 is found in the lock screen, which had barely changed in the long history of the terminal. But, also, Apple is taking advantage of the update to enhance widgets, whose use has become widespread; largely thanks to the excellent use of the developers. So, we review every one of the new features of iOS 16 below.

The lock screen is completely renewed

The iPhone lock screen is a section that we constantly interact with, and with iOS 16 it has been renewed like never before. Not only in design, but also in functionality. Best of all, its new features are subject to the user’s choice, since it will be completely customizable in many ways.
