CTOnews.com, September 8 (Xinhua)-- Apple officially announced today that iOS 16 will be available for download from September 13 on iPhone 8 or successor models, as well as iPhone SE (second generation) or successor models, including a redesigned lock screen and a new information App function.

It should be noted that unlike in previous years, Apple will not release iOS 16 and iPadOS 16 at the same time. IPadOS 16 will be released later this fall. In addition, some features are only available in some devices, some countries or regions.

In iOS 16, the lock screen becomes more personalized. The new multi-level effect presents the main body of the photo in front of the locked screen, creating a depth-of-field effect. Users can also use more eye-catching fonts and colors to change the display style of dates and times.

In addition, the new home App makes it easier for users to manipulate, organize and view accessories, and the strengthening of the underlying architecture also allows users to control smart home devices more efficiently and securely. In addition, iOS 16 will launch a software update this fall, when it will add support for Matter, the standard for smart home connectivity.
