How is the design of iOS 16?

Regarding the design and interface, it does not seem that there are too many changes. The big change comes on lock screen which, for the first time in iPhone history, is customizable. Now it is possible to change elements such as text, colors and even widgets within the lock screen.

Now the notifications they are dynamic, so they become “living” elements of the system. Apple gives as an example waiting for an Uber, being able to see from the application’s own notification and in real time how much the driver has left.

In addition, applications such as Apple Maps, CarPlay, iMessage will have certain changes, renovations oriented, above all, to functionality. With iOS 16, we can edit messages in iMessage, as well as cancel messages that we have already sent. In the same way, the app now has integration with SharePlay, so that we can view multimedia content simultaneously with our contacts.

Also, five years later, the battery percentage returns to iOS 16, although in a somewhat different way. Of course, it is not available on the iPhone XR, iPhone 11, iPhone 12 mini and iPhone 13 mini. The final version of the operating system will arrive on the iPhone on September 12. (YO)
