iOS 16, these new features, I want them all

Now, less than a month before the upcoming WWDC22 Developer Conference on June 7, the much-anticipated iOS 16 is just around the corner.

Before the official unveiling of the new system, everyone has different expectations.

Recently, concept designer @Konstantin Konovalov unveiled a set of homemade iOS 16 design drawings that showed us a wish list of new features in iOS 16.

Next, you can take a look at what new features may be expected in iOS 16.

Widgets

The first is a new change in widget functionality.

According to the concept map, the widget functionality has been redesigned in iOS 16, and the new widget will have more interactive features than the previous widget.

Users can play music or cut songs directly on the desktop through the Music App widget, or collect the same type of app in a widget for easy viewing and opening.

At the same time, users can also set a time to display different content in the Notes or Calendar app widget.

For example, the display information of the memo widget is refreshed regularly, and the latest schedule can be seen on the desktop.

Combined with the previous exposure news about the "super widget", it seems that the news that Apple will make a wave of major changes to the widget in iOS 16 is still relatively reliable.

App Library

In addition to this, app library functionality may be optimized in iOS 16.

Users can choose to automatically classify apps through the system, or customize the categories of apps and rename the category name.

Of course, for many small partners, they still want to be able to manually turn off the App Library function.

Hopefully, Apple will add the relevant options to iOS 16.

The screen is displayed

In addition, the information screen display function that many small partners are looking forward to may also be launched on iOS 16.

According to the display of the concept map, information such as time and date can be displayed in the information screen state, but it is not clear whether the new message reminder notification will be displayed.

I have to say that compared with some of the previous iPhone screen display concept maps, this design map is indeed more inclined to the minimalist style that Apple has always favored.

iPhone split screen

Also expected is the split-screen function.

The designer showed us how the split-screen function is presented on the iPhone, which can be divided into upper and lower screens and can be operated at the same time.

It still looks very efficient.

Control Center

In addition, the design drawings also bring iOS 16 changes to the control center interface.

Overall, the new Control Center interface is much like the Control Center layout structure in macOS, and you can customize the layout of the Control Center buttons according to your needs.

Notification Hubs

At the same time, in iOS 16, the notification center of iPhone will also be functionally optimized.

According to the design description, Notification Center will support viewing images in notification messages and searching for notification content.

iPhone landscape mode

It is worth mentioning that the design also shows a display of iOS 16 landscape mode, which can automatically adjust the layout and orientation of the app according to the horizontal or vertical orientation.

With the introduction of the 6.7-inch screen of the iPhone 14 Max, this feature can also better take advantage of the iPhone's large screen space.

In addition to the above features, the designers also showed some other features, such as custom backgrounds for iMassage, reference messages, safari homepage to display news, wallet app support for more card additions, and exchange of different currencies.

As is customary, Apple will also optimize and improve some system-native applications, and you can also expect details changes in iOS 16.

At the end of the concept map, the designer also posted a list of possible support models for iOS 16.

Combined with previous multi-party news reports, iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus and the original iPhone SE will most likely miss iOS 16.

The above is the iOS 16 new feature outlook brought by Xiaoguo for everyone, is there a new feature you like?

Now that we're less than a month away from WWDC 2022, let's look forward to iOS 16.
