Apple Announces iOS 16: First Look at New Features

[BJMRamage]

iCloud Shared Photo Library sounds nice. I think I am moving into the Apple One Family this year and this sounds good...

for when we go on vacation or camping. I can see this easily getting out of control. Hopefully Screenshots will NOT be a default share.

UP NEXT widget, PLEEEEEEAAAAASE!!.

Like the customisation options. But still no always-on display apparently.

If this will ever be added to the iPhone than only as a feature for a new line up. They will never release this for older phones. Of course because of hardware limitations.

This privacy reset/safety check is pretty damned cool.

 

[dcingie]

How about Face ID protection for messages???

Yeah looks decent, but there was no mention if setting up a Shared Photo Library means you lose more storage from iCloud (on top of storing the original photo in your normal library)

Still can't customize or get rid of flashlight and camera buttons on lockscreen, probably?

This. I'm constantly turning on the flashlight with the heel of my hand when I pick up my phone. Would love to get rid of that button.

One thing I’m certainly going to make use of is the weather wallpaper!

wow, my cars are so "dated" to only have a Bluetooth connection and no CarPlay

 

[Reeneman]

That they even put the mark as unread in the messenger as one of the main nee features… oh my…

 

[Reeneman]

So always on display confirmed for the iPhone 14 pro today

We don’t know yet.

As soon as they mentioned it I knew it would only be new cars. My 2019 doesn’t even put the map in the dash except for the built in nav so I figured. For VW need MIB3 which was on 2021 and newer gti for this. The dash looked like a new vw or Audi. Didn’t see vw listed so guessing a 2023 Audi.

NOW you wonder why Tesla wants CarPlay now. Imagine the new features of CarPlay from iOS 16 becomes part of the Tesla UI on newer Tesla vehicles.

Future CarPlay looks interesting. Loving the way it’s going to integrate with the car’s own systems.

it's funny that it used to be the coolness of the outside or the motor...maybe a few select internals that made someone WANT to buy a new car. now we have the same want/desire from iOS to cars with CarPlay.

I keep cars too long to really have any desire for this stuff, though it is cool.

Dude, I'm falling asleep...

Did I hear this right? Disabling email accounts based on focus setting? Yes please! My countless feature requests are finally paying their dividend hahaha. Please let it carry over to macOS.

For me both. I have a golf r which is no slouch on performance. I like performance and tech.

Woah my head just snapped back up and as I was wiping off the drool she's talking about the sleep app and shows what stage of sleep I was just in.

Medication tracking is a fantastic addition! Food tracking please?

 

[_Spinn_]

Hopefully Apple adds automatic sleep tracking as well.

I'm adding this presentation to my "Sleep" playlist on YouTube along with train and rain sounds.
