Apple launched the iPhone 14 series models at its Far Out event last week. The company launched the iPhone 14, the iPhone 14 Plus, the iPhone 14 Pro and the iPhone 14 Pro Max, all of which will come with Apple’s newest mobile operating system, that is, iOS 16.
iOS 16 brings several new features to the iPhones. For instance, iPhone users can now customise their lock screen by using images from their own gallery on screen. They can also choose the widgets that they want to see on their lock screens. These widgets can include weather, time and date, battery levels, upcoming calendar events, and activity ring progress among other things. iPhone users can also create patterned lock screens based on their favourite emojis.
iOS 16 also brings the ability to edit a message within a span of up to 15 minutes after sending it. Messages users can also unsend any message within up to two minutes after sending it. Additionally, users also get the ability to schedule an email to be sent at a particular time. It also brings passkeys that will replace passwords with an easier and safer sign‑in method.
It is worth noting that in addition to coming to the iPhone 14 models, iOS 16 will also arrive on older iPhone models starting today. So, here are all the iPhone models that will get iOS 16 update starting today:
