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.
