Apple released the new version of its operating system for the smartphone devices it owns, and the iOS 16 brings a feature-packed release that utilizes many of its apps available now.
With all that said, let's dive right into what made this release a special one for iPhone users.

Apple revealed the iOS 16 on the first day of the WWDC 22 showcase, but note that this is not yet the release date of the operating system. It would come later in the year and prepare users for the change, with a beta seed coming in several weeks to come, with Apple not yet revealing the dates for its arrival.
The initial name for the iOS 16 is "Sydney," and many were expecting it for this event.
Lock Screen
The iOS 16's unseen feature for its release is the Lock Screen that users can now personalize to their style, aesthetic, and preference that will have it appear to what appeals more to them.
Users can now change their lock screen and choose from the new fonts and designs they wish to bring, also allowing people to put in Widgets, Live Activities, and other elements that would make it their own.
It may also integrate with Focus to show only their preferred essential notifications that will help in their access, rolling from the bottom instead of from the top. Multiple lock screens also help in switching from one look to another.
