Lock Screen = Watch Face. Good upgrade.

 

[FelixDerKater]

Widget Kit has an interesting ring to it.

 

[Johnny907]

Uh oh. So much for iOS can’t be customized!!!

Yeah, only 8 years behind Android. Toot that horn.

 

[TheYayAreaLiving 🎗️]

Dang, I love the animations for the notification. It looks very nice and smooth.

 

[JCCL]

Well, I think this is pretty much a confirmation that an AOD is coming in this year's iPhones.

 

[trip1ex]

might as well just make your home page the lockscreen. lol.

 

[alexandr]

I'm sure you can. Craig will make it happen.

I'm not so sure

 

[Realityck]

I hope they convert timer/stopwatch to a widget

 

[sjsharksfan12]

Live Activities is pretty cool. Android doesn't have that.

 

[_Spinn_]

Oh, notification changes. Live activities look super useful.

 

[Useless Touchbar]

Loving the live activies thingy. Great for checking food delivery status or football game score

 

[johnmarki]

Live Activities is going to be amazing once devs unleash its potential!

 

[Edsel]

So tired of the theatrics. Just give us the facts.

 

[macduke]

Oh man it makes so much more sense to do some notifications as live activities. Seems so obvious now. Traditional popups seem so outdated for something like that.

 

[dumastudetto]

Multiple lockscreens?!?! Wowza! Thats impressive. 👍

Sure is.

Notifications are hugely improved too. AI built in. Live activities. Glanceable experiences when you need that information most, without covering other elements of the screen.

 

[Realityck]

IOS focus is extended to lock screen

 

[ThisBougieLife]

So lots of lock screen customizability...but watch no home screen customizability other than moving square icons around...

 

[slplss]

Apple keeping it real with the new Lock Screen, step closer to iPhone Watch.

 

[dynAdZ]

Music player on the bottom of the lock screen, looks like new muscle memory will be needed.

 

[trifid]

Could they have chosen more hideous font options for the lock screen?

 

[Kylo83]

No one really uses the Lock Screen, I’m shocked widgets are the same still only glanceable and all icons are the exact same this is as bad as I thought

 

[_Spinn_]

Love the changes to focus mode and being able to change the lock screen per focus mode.

 

[Al Rukh]

The new Lock Screen and the widgets are gonna drain battery quicker for sure. There goes the awesome battery life of the 13 series…

 

[macduke]

Oh nice, so using focus answers my question earlier. Making focus more unified is great.

Is that an option now to blur wallpapers on the Home Screen? I kinda like that option.

My Saints games will be better followed.
