(apple iOS 16)
Welfare 1: a new screen lock interface experience
At WWDC22 conference, I thought Apple would spend more time on some applications of iOS 16, but I didn't expect to spend ten or twenty minutes explaining the new screen lock interface of iOS 16. Apple official said that the lock screen interface of iOS 16 was inspired by the dial layout style of early AppleWatch. But in fact, the widget, time font and pop-up message settings of the main page are very close to Android.

Users can add Widget to the lock screen interface according to their own preferences, such as calendar, weather, battery power and so on. Now the received notification is displayed at the bottom of the screen. If there is instant information, it will be displayed directly on the lock screen in a dynamic way like Android.
It is worth mentioning that this time on iOS 16, the focus mode can now be used with the lock screen, and different lock screen images designed by users can be used with different focus modes. If users quickly switch to different screen lock interfaces, they can also quickly switch to different focus modes.
This design allows users to freely customize the lock screen according to their own preferences. The iPhone lock screen interface of different users will look very different, and Apple will once again show "personalization".

Benefit 2: Realize horizontal face unlocking.
Many users will think that FaceID face unlocking is not humanized, especially when lying in bed, they often need to hold the iPhone in one hand and tilt their heads to unlock it. Or you must sit up and unlock the vertical screen before you can continue to lie down. The newly updated iOS 16 supports iPhone landscape unlocking, and users can unlock FaceID while lying on the bed or sofa.
However, at present, only iPhone 13 series is allowed, and other iPhone models may have to wait until the official version of iOS 16 system is pushed.
Benefit 3: Live text now supports video content identification and exchange rate conversion.
Previously, the text recognition function in Apple's iOS 15 could only recognize the text in the picture, and the application scenarios were limited, so many needed places might not be used. The content recognition function in the latest iOS 16 has been expanded to support the recognition of movie content and people. As long as you press the pause button while watching the video, you can directly select the people on the video for recognition.
And this update has a very interesting function. This time, Apple's content recognition function also supports exchange rate conversion, which means that as long as there are relevant currency units in the pictures and videos, users can directly convert the exchange rate after selecting them.

Benefit 4: One-button automatic matting
After iOS 16, there is a very useful function, that is, the function of "one-button automatic matting" is added to the image query. In the photo album, as long as the user holds down the subject in the picture for a long time, the system can quickly outline the subject in one second. After pressing "Copy" and "Paste", you can generate a main picture with the background removed, which can be used in other apps.
This function is especially great for some late users, and you don't have to open other applications to cut the picture bit by bit. It is also very practical for users who have high requirements for taking pictures. Cut the picture with one button. However, it should be noted that this function can only be used in photos with obvious subjects. If there are too many objects in the picture, iPhone still can't recognize them.

Benefit 5: Album supports hiding, and recently deleted photos can also be encrypted.
IOS has always had great advantages in privacy protection. Speaking of Apple's greatest advantage, it is security.
In the update of iOS 16, Apple once again strengthened the protection of mobile phone privacy. In the system before iOS 16, we can go directly to the recycle bin to view or restore the deleted photos. But in iOS 16, users can't enter the recycle bin at will. When users want to enter the recycle bin, they must use the owner's FaceID to view related pictures.

Photos can also be hidden in an album. If you need to view them, the hidden photos must be unlocked by the owner's FaceID.

Generally speaking, the update range of iOS 16 is really not too big, but the most attractive thing is custom screen locking, horizontal unlocking and hiding photos, which greatly improves the user experience, and other functions are of little use.
Some users will ask, do you want to update it? Personally, if there is no great demand for the above functions, it is best not to update them first, and then make a decision after the official version of the system is perfect. Because as far as the current iOS 16 is concerned, there are still some big problems that can't be ignored, and they often roll over in daily use.
Rollover 1: The mobile phone has obvious fever and is locked.
As the biggest side effect of beta, abnormal fever is really a stumbling block to prevent users from adopting early adopters. Watching video fever, taking photos fever, charging fever, this long-term high-temperature running state, the biggest damage to the battery.
During fever, the phone will automatically lock the brightness. Users manually want to adjust the most suitable brightness according to the environment and their own needs, but find that the brightness has not changed. Therefore, even if the strong light mode is turned on, the screen of the mobile phone is still dark under the intense outdoor sunlight, and the brightness is kept at a medium brightness, so the screen cannot be seen clearly.
Rollover 2: Abnormal increase in power consumption
Based on the fever situation, users reacted a lot, and the battery life of iOS 16 was much worse than that of iOS 15. A fully charged iPhone 13Pro, when I go out, I just brush Weibo and chat with WeChat, but I haven't started the game and navigated these power-consuming software. After 4 hours of use, it changes from full charge to "low charge mode" (less than 20% of the power is left).
In addition, many users find that the battery health of their Apple phones has changed from 100% to 97% in "Settings-Battery Health", which makes people uncomfortable at first glance, even if they buy new phones, giving people the impression that they are second-hand phones.
Rollover 3: most apps are not adapted, and WeChat group chat flashes back.
Since the current iOS 16 is only a beta version, many App functions have not been adapted to complete the system. So it can be said that it is very unstable and not easy to use. Some early adopters responded that during the use of one day, only WeChat flashed back dozens of times. At present, the apps that are known to flash back are: Shu Fei, China Merchants Bank, Mile Mile (when the live broadcast is turned on or the horizontal screen is clicked, it will flash back), QQ, WeChat (small programs, friends circle and articles that read the official WeChat account will flash back) and so on.
In addition, a considerable number of apps have pictures that can't be loaded, and software such as Taobao and JD.COM are stuck.

Flip 4: Screen recording black screen
In terms of screen recording, some users reported that after iOS 16 clicked on the start recording screen, clicking on the end recording for many times would pop up several "stop recording" prompts. At the same time, a black screen will appear in the process of recording video. The user experience is greatly reduced, and it will take some time to restore the normal interface.
Rollover 5: The localization of some interfaces is incomplete.
It is also because of the beta, some interfaces and some applications in the system are still incomplete, and English will appear from time to time. Although most users are very familiar with the operation of the iPhone, it is best to prevent operational errors through complete sinicization.

abstract
The new iOS 16 system redesigned the screen lock interface of iPhone, which is particularly similar to the dial interface of AppleWatch. It was personalized and customized, and the overall visual perception was brand-new. At the same time, iOS 16 system also optimizes and strengthens the information, search interface, fitness-"APP, children's account, family * * * gallery, text live broadcast function, etc.
However, if you only have one main iPhone, the current disadvantages of iOS 16 outweigh the advantages. It's best not to actively upgrade the beta version of iOS 16 now, otherwise the loss will outweigh the gain. The current beta is only for developers and some digital technology pioneers to evaluate. If ordinary users want to update or wait until the improved and optimized official version comes out, the experience will be stronger at that time.
