With the launch of iOS 16, Apple has brought back one of the most wanted features to the iPhone, which is turning on the haptic keyboard setting, along with other new features and settings that you should try.
Most of us turn off the iPhone’s keyboard sounds, which can be irritating when typing out long messages in public. But doing this means you miss out on the helpful haptic feedback that helps with typing accuracy.
In iOS 16, Apple finally gives an option to turn on haptic keyboard feedback without keyboard clicks, which is both discreet and valuable and thus combines the best of both worlds.
Step-by-step to turn on the haptic keyboard setting
To enable “Haptic Keyboard” on your iPhone, Go to Settings > Sounds & Haptics > Keyboard Feedback and flip the Haptic toggle green.
You can also disable keyword sound by unchecking “Sound” from inside “Keyboard Feeback.” This way, you will only get haptic while typing without typing sound.
Apple has recently released iOS 16, exposing users to valuable and enjoyable features adding more privacy, and improving the overlook and the user experience.
However, some users may find the new settings added by iOS 16 annoying rather than delighting, and in this article, we show how to turn these off. Meanwhile, some highly welcome new options that are deactivated by default, and we’ll also show you how to turn these on.
You’ll enjoy all iOS 16’s updates and options with these ten settings:
1. Show the battery percentage indicator
With the launch of iOS 16, Apple returned the battery percentage indicator taken from the iPhone’s status bar in 2017. But you have to choose to turn it on precisely. Step-by-step guide.
Step-by-step to enable the battery percentage indicator
Go to Settings > Battery and tap the toggle labeled Battery Percentage. A number will be superimposed over the battery icon at the top of the screen–if your iPhone supports the feature.
However, Apple has confirmed that users of older generation iPhone models will miss out on the ability to show their iPhone’s battery percentage directly in the status bar.
Apple says that the new battery percentage display is unavailable on the iPhone XR, iPhone 11, the iPhone 12 mini, and the iPhone 13 mini. Apple provides no additional information about why these devices will miss out on the new feature.
2. Turn off the search button
On an iOS 15 home screen, you’ll see a little icon between the dock and the other app icons. It shows a row of dots indicating how many home screens you’ve got and which one you’re on. Once you update to iOS 16, this icon is replaced by a Search icon, duplicating the Spotlight function accessed by swiping down on the Home screen.

Step-by-step to turn off the search button
If you find this unnecessary and/or distracting, you can revert to the dots by going to Settings > Home Screen and tapping the toggle labeled Show on Home Screen under Search.
3. Turn on the haptic keyboard setting
Most of us turn off the iPhone’s keyboard sounds, which can be irritating when typing out long messages in public. But doing this means you miss out on the helpful haptic feedback that helps with typing accuracy.
In iOS 16, Apple finally gives an option to turn on haptic keyboard feedback without keyboard clicks, which is both discreet and valuable and thus combines the best of both worlds.
Step-by-step to turn on the haptic keyboard setting
Go to Settings > Sounds & Haptics > Keyboard Feedback and flip the Haptic toggle green.
4. Give yourself more time to unsend emails
As iOS 16, Mail lets you unsend emails within a specific time limit. But the odd thing is that the time limit is up to you–to a degree.
Step-by-step to increase the time to recall emails
The feature is set to 10 seconds by default, but if you go to Settings > Mail > Undo Send Delay, you can change it to 20 or 30 seconds. Still, not much time to panic and change your mind, but every extra second helps in an email emergency.
5. Stop accidentally ending calls
Many iPhone owners will have experienced the inconvenience of accidentally pressing the side button during a phone call. By default, this action will end the call—but in iOS 16, Apple adds a new option that lets you change that.
Step-by-step to prevent Lock to End Call
Go to Settings > Accessibility > Touch and tap the toggle labeled Prevent Lock to End Call. Just remember you’ve changed this, or you might get caught saying rude things about the person you thought you just hung up on.
6. Hands-free hang-ups
While we’re talking about hanging up on calls, there’s a new feature in iOS 16 that lets you do this using Siri–which makes life a lot easier if you’re talking hands-free through the speaker. You just need to say, “Hey Siri, hang up.”
Step-by-step to enable hands-free hang-ups
To activate this option, go to Settings > Siri & Search > Call Hang-up, and tap the toggle, so it turns green.
7. Send messages without confirmation
Here’s another Siri time-saver: when sending messages using Siri, you can now skip the confirmation step.
Step-by-step to automatically send messages without confirmation
Go to Settings > Siri & Search > Automatically Send Messages, tap the toggle, so it turns green, and Siri will know not to bother asking you to confirm.
8. Share (some of) your Focus Statuses
iPhone users had access to multiple Focus modes in iOS 15, but iOS 16 heavily expands this feature. One change is greater control over the sharing of status information: it’s much easier now to audit and control the specific modes that are shared and those that are not.

Step-by-step to share focus status across devices
Go to Settings > Focus, and make sure that Share Across Devices is set to on. You can now tap Focus Status and pick and choose which modes, if any, will be synced.
We found that all modes were set to share by default, but you might not want everyone to know that you’re asleep, for example, or working out.
Finally, note that this sharing permission still only applies on a per-app basis. Go to Settings > Messages, for example, and you can toggle Allow Messages To Access Focus on and off.
9. Fine-tune your notifications
Apple has changed how notifications display on the lock screen, with those from the same app organized under what Apple calls the Stack view. This view is enabled by default, but those who’d prefer to use the old method can go back if they’d prefer.

Step-by-step to fine-tune notifications on iPhone
Go to Settings > Notifications and select List at the top to revert to the iOS 15 notifications style. Or pick Count if you’d rather not see the notifications and just get an unobtrusive number at the bottom of the screen.
Note: The Count view is the least stressful, although you may miss some emails.
10. Stop your photos from popping up unexpectedly
iOS 16 adds a cute AI-based feature that finds what it thinks are significant photos and videos and pops them up in various places (widgets, search, the For You tab in Photos, and so on) as a reminder of happy memories. This is a charming feature, but it’s not for everyone–particularly if you’ve got embarrassing photos on your phone or just don’t want people on the train peering at your vacation pics.
Step-by-step to stop photos from popping up unexpectedly
You can turn off this feature by going to Settings > Photos and then tapping the Show Featured Content toggle, so it turns light gray.
iOS 16 has brought one wanted feature to the iPhone: turning off the home screen’s search button, along with other new features and settings that you should try.
On an iOS 15 home screen, you’ll see a little icon between the dock and the other app icons. It shows a row of dots indicating how many home screens you’ve got and which one you’re on. Once you update to iOS 16, this icon is replaced by a Search icon, duplicating the Spotlight function accessed by swiping down on the Home screen.
How to turn off the search button on the iOS 16 home screen?
Settings > Home Screen and tapping the toggle labeled Show on Home Screen under Search.
With the launch of iOS 16, Apple has brought back one of the most wanted features to the iPhone, which is the battery percentage indicator, along with other new features and settings that you should try.
Apple removed the battery percentage indicator from the iPhone’s status bar in 2017 right after launching the new iPhone generation, iPhone X, yet, they decided to bring it back with the new iOS 16 release. Still, you have to choose to turn it on manually.

Go to Settings > Battery and tap the toggle labeled Battery Percentage. A number will be superimposed over the battery icon at the top of the screen–if your iPhone supports the feature.
Apple confirms iOS 16 battery percentage display is unavailable on specific iPhone models.
The new battery percentage display is unavailable on the iPhone XR, iPhone 11, the iPhone 12 mini, and the iPhone 13 mini. Apple provides no additional information about why these devices will miss out on the new feature.
San Francisco-based cloud communication giant Twilio will lay off 800 to 900 employees across its staff of over 7,800, approximately 11% of its headcount, to cut costs during the broader economic downturn.
In a letter to employees, Twilio CEO Jeff Lawson said the company decided to lay off staff to run more efficiently and align its investments with its priorities. He said the decision was “extremely difficult” but also “wise and necessary.”
“I take responsibility for those decisions, as well as the difficult decision to do this layoff,” Lawson wrote in a letter sent internally and published on Twilio’s blog.
“Twilio has always been a growth company. And as you know, we’re committed to being a profitable growth company. At our scale, profitability will make us stronger … We ultimately found that some investments no longer make sense and identified areas where we can be more efficient.”
Founded in 2018 by Jeff Lawson, Evan Cooke, and John Wolthuis, Twilio is a US company based in San Francisco, California, which provides programmable communication tools for making and receiving phone calls, sending and receiving text messages, and performing other communication functions using its web service APIs
Lawson said the employees impacted are in areas of the company that can operate more efficiently and where customers can “succeed without as much human intervention.”
Employees affected will receive at least 12 weeks of pay and one week for every year of service at Twilio, in addition to the value of Twilio’s next stock vest.
Lawson says Twilio’s talent acquisition team will create a list that laid-off employees can opt into, to be shared with other companies hiring and “investors who know many such companies.”
Paperwork filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission shows that the headcount reduction will cost between $70 million to $90 million, by Twilio’s estimates, with the bulk of costs being incurred during the company’s third and fourth fiscal quarters in 2022.
“Today’s layoffs are about aligning our investments more squarely with our priorities, as well as running our company more efficiently overall,” Lawson continued. “No doubt, it will be a hard few months as we change the shape of our company for the opportunity ahead.”
As CNBC notes, publicly traded, San Francisco-based Twilio has been striving for profitability in 2023. The company nearly doubled its headcount during the pandemic as the appetite for its cloud services climbed.
In 2021, Twilio acquired data security platform Ionic Security and toll-free messaging services provider Zipwhip — the latter for $850 million.
Twilio said it expects to incur between $70 million and $90 million in charges related to the restructuring plan.
Adobe acquired Figma for approximately $20 billion in cash and stock in one of the most significant digital design acquisitions. The digital design giant announced on Friday.
The news has sparked a scare among designers that Adobe would change Figma’s intuitive interface into a complex one.
Figma has become a hugely popular online user interface and user experience design tool for many. Unlike Adobe, It’s praised for its streamlined form and collaborative tools, while free access for those in education has made it a hit with students.
Figma currently tops the best UI design tools. It’s been touted as an Adobe killer for being more efficient, collaborative, and affordable.
Adobe’s subscription-based pricing is sometimes a bone of contention for users (although Adobe Creative Cloud discounts can be found).
Why did Figma sell to Adobe?
For Figma, the big bucks present a significant growth opportunity. The deal comes “with access to Adobe’s technology, expertise, and resources in the creative space,” CEO Dylan Field wrote in a Sept. 15 blog post.
“For example, we will have the opportunity to incorporate their expertise in imaging, photography, illustration, video, 3D, and font technology to the Figma platform,” he elaborated.
What will Adobe do with Figma?
For now, Adobe is “deeply committed” to keeping Figma operating autonomously, wrote Fields, who will continue to serve as CEO.
The company has no current plan to change Figma’s pricing, and the product will remain free for education. However, people are wondering for how long it will remain free.
Together, Adobe and Figma will reimagine the future of creativity and productivity, accelerate creativity on the web, advance product design, and inspire global communities of creators, designers, and developers.”
What Adobe’s acquisition of Figma means for creatives?
For Adobe, buying Figma makes sense. It dominates many areas of design, but UI has been a bit of an exception. Its own Adobe XD is playing catch up to a wide range of other tools and hasn’t managed to establish itself like other Adobe products.
Adobe says it will keep Figma going rather than eliminate a rival to Adobe AD, but Figma users are concerned for two main reasons: price and bloat.
Why creatives like Figma?
Many liked Figma’s independence and saw Adobe as a monopolistic behemoth that would want to charge them more money. Figma currently has a free starter and a professional plan that starts at $12 per month per editor – significantly less than an Adobe Creative Cloud single-app subscription. However, Figma insists that there are “currently” no plans to change its pricing and that access will remain accessible for those in education.
Creatives also liked Figma for its streamlined platform’s light footprint. They fear becoming part of Adobe will make it heavier and slower. What the change will mean for the platform isn’t yet clear. Adobe says, “The combination of Adobe’s and Figma’s communities will bring designers and developers closer together to unlock the future of collaborative design,” which is probably just the kind of corporate talk that makes users uneasy.
Figma will keep working autonomously.
Figma’s CEO and co-founder Dylan Field has provided a bit of elucidation. He wrote in a blog post that “Adobe is deeply committed to keeping Figma operating autonomously.” he’s confirmed that he’ll stay in his position after the deal. However, he’ll now report to David Wadhwani, president of Adobe’s Digital Media business.
He said he’ll work with Wadhwani to grow Figma’s business but that the Figma team will report to him and “run Figma the way we have always run Figma – continuing to do what we believe is best for our community, our culture, and our business.”
He said the partnership aimed to accelerate growth and innovation, with Figma incorporating Adobe’s “expertise in imaging, photography, illustration, video, 3D and font technology”. Figma will also “have the opportunity to reimagine what the best creative tools could look like within the Figma technology stack.”
New Figma products to come
Field hinted that there would be new products to come. However, he said the company would continue to improve Figma Design, FIGJAM, and the Figma community platform. He added: “One of the trickiest design decisions is when to make a new capability a separate tool vs. part of an existing tool. Please know that we have some fun ideas on how to address this issue.”
How did creatives react to the acquisition?
Creatives were quick to react on social media. Of course, there are many memes, and many are not exactly celebratory. Many people have dug up an old tweet Field posted in January 2021 in which he wrote, “Our goal is to be Figma, not Adobe,” while others suggest that they’ll move to rival UI design products such as Sketch.
Abu Dhabi-based B2B2C cloud kitchen startup has raised $10M in a Series A funding round. The investment round was led by Middle East Venture Partners (MEVP) and Olayan Financing Company (the Middle East investment arm of The Olayan Group), with participation from Rua Growth Fund.
Founded in 2019 by Kamil Rogalinski and George Karam, The Cloud allows restaurant owners to increase their kitchen utilization by hosting third-party food delivery brands.
The startup is supported by Hub71, Abu Dhabi’s unique, global tech ecosystem. It has been built on the principle of ‘the Airbnb of kitchens’ and allows restaurant owners to increase their kitchen utilization by transforming restaurants into cloud kitchens or virtual kitchens.
The Cloud’s founders developed the tech suite in-house, allowing the Company to scale rapidly to international markets.
The Company’s proprietary tech stack and virtual brands portfolio enables restaurants to achieve an entire virtual set-up in less than 30 days. In less than two years of operations, the Cloud already boasts a presence in UAE, KSA, and Europe.
The collected fund will allow The Cloud to continue its expansion in GCC and Europe. It also provides bandwidth for the Company to increase and accelerate the development of its AI-powered kitchen matching platform.
George Karam, co-founder & CEO of The Cloud, said: “The Cloud completely reimagines what a restaurant is and how it achieves scalability in the digital economy, which is why I am so delighted that our Series A funding raised $10 million in such a short space of time. We will utilize this funding to expand into KSA, make an even bigger impact on restaurant owners, and further bolster our talent and infrastructure. I am grateful to work with MEVP, Olayan Financing Company, and Rua Growth Fund, and I’m looking forward to expanding The Cloud’s market leadership in the cloud kitchen, virtual restaurant, and online food ordering segments and growing the brand regionally and globally, delivering strong returns for our investors.”
Apple has finally announced the long-awaited Always-On Display option into the iOS 16 Lock Screen to the higher-end iPhone 14 models (iPhone 14 Pro & iPhone 14 Pro Max).
Apple is replicating the behavior found on the Apple Watch on the iPhone 14 Pro. The Apple Watch Series 5 and later, with an always-on display, shows a darker and more muted version of the watch face until the wrist is raised, so similarly, the iPhone 14 Pro could show a darker version of the wallpaper until turned on by the user.
In this post, we’ll answer all questions about Always-On Display:
Is Always On Display available on iOS 16?
Although the Always-On Display comes with iOS 16, it isn’t a feature related to iOS 16, but it is exclusive for iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max only – in brief, it’s a prominent option on phones with OLED screens. When enabled, you get a glimpse of what’s on your Lock Screen, like date, time, and any pending notifications.
The Always On Display gets activated when a user locks the screen using the Side button. The feature works like a photo filter that tones down the colors of your wallpaper and darkens the overall picture, as is evident from the image above. When this mode is active, some elements of the wallpaper go dark while others are faded, which means you’ll still see parts of your wallpaper on the always-on screen.
Along with the Depth effect option on iOS 16, Always On Display should have any picture a user sets as their wallpaper, not just Apple’s backgrounds.
Which iPhones support the Always On Display option?
The Always On Display option is available only to iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max due to screen specifications requiring OLED screens.
iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max come with OLED LTPO ProMotion displays whose refresh rates vary from 1Hz to 120Hz. Because of such low refresh rates, the iPhone 14 Pro can display a darker version of your Lock Screen background with necessary info to glance at without needing to tap on the screen.

While low refresh rates can be beneficial for saving battery life, the essential requirement for an always-on screen is whether or not the display underneath supports it. For always-on mode to work, your phone needs to have an OLED display which, unlike a traditional LCD, can deliver the deepest blacks and lower brightness. Since the diodes in an OLED display light up only when there’s a subject to show, the part of your screen that’s entirely in black remains unlit, thus saving battery.
Apple’s existing iPhones come with Super Retina / XDR displays that feature OLED technology. The iPhones that support them are:
iPhone X
iPhone XS / Max
iPhone 11 Pro / Max
iPhone 12 / 12 mini / 12 Pro / 12 Pro Max
iPhone 13 / 13 mini / 13 Pro / 13 Pro Max
iPhone 13 pro can support Always-On Display- Image Credit: PCMag
Will Always On Display be available for older iPhones?
It’s not sure whether all of the mentioned iPhone models will feature an always-on display in the future. The iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max stand a high chance of getting this feature as both the devices offer advanced ProMotion displays that support an extended range of refresh rates that can toggle anywhere between 10Hz and 120Hz.
Although a 10Hz display would consume more energy than a 1Hz display, the margins are pretty thin. The low refresh rates make the iPhone 13 Pro lineup contenders for getting the always-on display if Apple decides to release it through an iOS 16 update later.
Facebook will no longer allow Special Ad Category advertisers to use the Special Ad Audiences tool.
Meta will be sunsetting Special Ad Audiences, a tool that lets advertisers expand their audiences for ad campaigns related to housing, employment, and credit ads.
In 2019, in addition to eliminating specific targeting options for housing, employment, and credit ads, Facebook introduced Special Ad Audiences as an alternative to Lookalike Audiences.
Since the Cambridge Analytica scandal, Special Ad Category advertisers must declare their category before creating ads. If advertisers fail to declare it, the Facebook policy team shuts down their advertising accounts.
Now, it’s getting more limited with this new rule.
Deprecation Timeline
Following is the timeline from Meta regarding the deprecation of Special Ad Audiences:
August 25, 2022: you will no longer be able to create new Special Ad Audiences.
September 13, 2022: Special Ad Audiences will no longer be available in new ad creation via the API.
October 12, 2022: Special ad audiences will no longer be available in new ad creation across Ads Manager and the API. After this date, the affected ad sets may be paused for delivery. To resume delivery of the paused ad sets, you will need to update them to remove Special Ad Audiences.
According to this timeline, you’ll no longer be able to use Special Ad Audiences in new ads via the API on September 13 and Ads Manager on October 12.
How can the Special Ad Category advertisers benefit from Facebook after this update?
It’s still unclear if Facebook is going to introduce a new way or release some restrictions for Special Ad Category advertisers or not.
That said, the only option is to go broad audience. However, some other options still benefit from the Facebook advertising platform. I will prepare some tips and tactics. Please keep an eye on Digital Boom for more.
As Apple announced at its September 7 event, the iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Plus, iPhone 14 Pro, and iPhone 14 Pro Max are finally here. And we’ve got answers to all your questions.
Here’s all you need to know about iPhone 14:
iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus new features: Cheat sheet
The iPhone 14 features a 6.1-inch OLED display, and the iPhone 14 Plus grows to 6.7 inches.
The iPhone 14 starts at $799, and the iPhone 14 Plus costs $899.
The iPhone 14 Plus promises the best battery life ever on an iPhone.
Emergency SOS via satellite functionality can be used to communicate when you’re out of cellular range. Launches in November and will be free for two years.
There are five colors: midnight, starlight, blue, purple, and product red.
The A15 Bionic chip is borrowed from the iPhone 13 Pro and gives you a 5-core GPU for 18% faster performance.
The new 12MP main camera has a bigger sensor (1.9 microns and 49% low-light improvement.
The front camera is 12MP with faster f/1.9, the autofocus for the first time, and better low light.
Photonic Engine: Enhanced image pipeline to deliver better low-light photos. 2x improvement on the front camera, 2x on ultra-wide, and 2.5 on the main camera., so you’ll get much better detail and color.
Significant improvement to the video: advanced stabilization mode, Action mode is new and can be toggled on for a smooth video. No gimbal is required.
The iPhone 14 supports eSIM, so there’s no SIM card tray.
The iPhone 14 offers crash detection like the new Apple Watch 8.
iPhone 14 release date and price
The iPhone 14 has a release date of September 16, and pre-orders start on September 9. The iPhone 14 Plus goes on sale on October 7.
The iPhone 14 starts at $799, and the iPhone 14 Plus is $899.

iPhone 14 design
iPhone 14 looks the same as the iPhone 13. The rear camera module is still in the diagonal layout. The notch is the same slim one introduced last year.
However, Apple claims to have improved the iPhone 14’s thermal performance, meaning you can push the phone for longer (such as with gaming). Apple has also done away with the physical SIM tray, meaning that the iPhone 14 is an eSIM-only phone in the US.
Another new feature for the iPhone 14 is Emergency SOS with Satellite. This satellite connectivity lets you get emergency help even when you don’t have a standard cell signal. This is ideal for people out in the wilderness or rural areas. With the iPhone 14, you get two free years of Emergency SOS with Satellite.
iPhone 14’sEmergency SOS with Satellite
Crash Detection, introduced with the Apple Watch Series 8, also appears on the iPhone 14. This can detect when you’ve been in a car crash, and it will automatically contact emergency services if you can’t respond.
The iPhone 14 comes in five fun colors: Midnight, Starlight, Blue, Purple, and Product(RED).
The big news is the iPhone 14 Plus, a 6.7-inch non-Pro iPhone.
iPhone 14 displays
The iPhone 14 comes in two screen sizes like in previous years, but the new one is the larger 6.7-inch iPhone 14 Plus. The iPhone 14 clocks in at 6.1 inches, but both phones feature Apple’s Super Retina XDR OLED display with a peak HDR of 1200 nits.
iPhone 14’s larger screen
iPhones 14 and 14 Plus feature Ceramic Shield on the front glass for added durability.
iPhone 14 cameras
You have three cameras on Apple’s iPhone 14, the 12MP wide and the 12MP ultrawide on the back, and the 12MP TrueDepth camera on the front.
iPhone 14’s front camera: TrueDepth& Autofocus
The iPhone 14 received some significant camera upgrades. The primary sensor is much larger with bigger pixels (1.9 microns), and with the faster f/1.5 aperture and sensor-shift image stabilization, the iPhone 14 enjoys a 49% improvement in low-light performance. Night mode even gets a bump with the exposure now twice as fast.
As for the ultrawide, Apple didn’t share too much on its specs, leading us to think it might be the same as the iPhone 13. (Meanwhile, the iPhone 14 Pro got a significant ultrawide upgrade.) However, the front camera (f/1.9) received an update with a hybrid focusing system thanks to TrueDepth and autofocus.
iPhone 14’s 12MP Wide Camera- Image Credit: The Verge
We also heard about adjustments to Deep Fusion, Apple’s technology that combines multiple frames at different exposures into one image in mid to low-light situations. With iPhone 14, Deep Fusion is applied earlier in the process with uncompressed photos.
Apple also introduced Action mode for the iPhone 14, which offers much more advanced stabilization for video, with the phone maker stating you may not even need a gimbal.
iPhone 14 software and battery
The iPhone 14 did not get the new A16 Bionic chipset, a Pro exclusive this year. Instead, the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus get the higher-end A15 Bionic we saw in the iPhone 13 Pro last year. That means it has the same 6-core CPU and 16-core Neural Engine, but the iPhone 14 now enjoys a 5-core GPU for boosted gaming performance.
Apple never advertises the amount of RAM in iPhones, but MacRumors can confirm that all four iPhone 14 models are equipped with 6GB of RAM.

Apple never talks about battery size, but it did say the iPhone 14 has the best battery life ever on an iPhone. We’ll have to assume that means at least 15 hours, but it could mean a day or more of video playback.
The phone still supports MagSafe wireless charging but did not, it seems, get any fast-charging bump.
iPhone 14 and iOS 16
The iPhone 14 will enjoy all iOS 16 new features very soon, including the new lock screen, changes to Mail and Messages, and more. The iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus will ship with iOS 16 in the next few weeks.
You can also take advantage of the new iCloud Shared Photo Libraries and more vital Live Text and Visual Lookup.
