For me it's the new lock screen effects, I love the customisability and also being able to make different lock screens to choose from is awesome

For me, the most wanted feature was the search in home screen

I like the new notifications preview on the lock screen
iOS 16 seems rather underwhelming. The lock screen is a good start, the scrolling notifications at the bottom of the lock screen is also acceptable. Nothing ground-breakingly 'new' though, just keeping up with Android it seems.
Is it just me or has Apple become the Android follower? I expect more from Apple, given their historical feature releases.
Why is it on my iPhone (iOS 16) key settings are on the left, while on my iPad Air 5 (iOS 15.7) key features are on the right? Am I missing something or is this just an annoying Apple thing?
@sairmckee Apple has always been the Android follower 🤣 Notification tray, widgets, the ability to change app icons… You name it and it was likely on Android first.

For me, it's the new search system on the home page. I’ve always used that feature, now it’s more comfortable 😎

unfortunately im not an iOS user... but ive heard people are happier with android phones... coz they dont have to sell their kidney each time a new iphone launches....lol
iOS 16 appears to be a minor change in comparison with its predecessors. The lock screen is a good start, as are the notifications that appear at the bottom of the screen when using interactive features such as Apple Pay or Face ID.
However, nothing ground-breakingly 'new' appears to be introduced in this release; it merely offers an improvement on what has already been established by other mobile operating systems.
None, legit none.

Dude! I still use Android.
You make me feel bad. 🤣
I just update my 13pro max to iOS 16 but the lock screens don't display the time as shown in the preview (with the clock behind the subject in the image). Is that feature for iphone14 only?

@imadbadri It isn't. Try to check if "Depth effect" is enabled on the bottom right corner, or choose another photo where the subject doesn't cover as much space of the clock
I really like the new Lock screen customization feature and the search button on the home screen.
Which feature did you like the most?
