iOS 16, the latest version of iOS is coming to user iPhone models starting today (September 12).

At the annual WWDC 2022, the iPhone maker announced that iOS 16 would be supported by iPhone 8 and newer models and that means that the older iPhone variants would stop getting support for software updates.

iOS 16 gives a major facelift to lock screen

With the iOS 16, the lock screen will become more personal, beautiful and helpful. Apart from customising the lock screen, users can also change the look of the date and time with expressive type styles and colour choices. As mentioned, the lock screen features widgets take inspiration from Apple Watch, thus, making it easy to get information at a glance, such as upcoming calendar events, weather, battery levels, alarms, time zones, activity ring progress, and more.

New tools for Mail

iOS 16 brings the ability to schedule emails ahead of time and users will be given a moment to cancel delivery of a message before it reaches a recipient’s inbox. For example, Mail detects if the user forgot to include an important part of their message, such as an attachment. Users also have the option to resurface a message at any date and time with Remind Later, and Follow Up suggestions automatically remind users to follow up on an email if they have not received a response.
