Lots of exciting iPhone news this week. There is an iOS 16 software update and a new iOS 16.1 Beta 1 release for developers.
Apple didn’t get all the features they wanted in the iOS 16 release. Some of these will be delivered with the iOS 16.1 update. One of them is live activity.
Apple updated the lock screen with iOS 16. It is now more customizable and has various widgets as well. The new iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max smartphones come with an always-on display for the new lock screen.
One of the new features coming to the lock screen with the release of iOS 16.1 is the new Live Activity feature. It is designed to provide up-to-date, live information.
For example, if you’re waiting for an Uber, pictured above, or if you’re following a sports game, these will update on your iPhone’s lock screen. I made it clear to the developers that it is now possible.
Apple will release new iPhone 14 smartphones tomorrow. A new iOS 16.1 update will be released sometime in October.
