Apple is working on the good version of its operating system for iPhones and iPads, iOS 16, which will bring a number of improvements and new features that are long-awaited from the company.
Apple plans that the new version of the operating system will arrive officially in conjunction with the launch of the upcoming iPhone 14 in September, but the company is first launching beta versions that are expected to arrive following the company’s event next June to be a reference for developers to prepare for the upcoming system and take advantage of iOS 16 updates in their applications .
According to a report published by MacRumors, which is interested in covering the latest Apple news, there are many features that were talked regarding in the leaks that affected the next version of the Apple operating system, including 5 features that were addressed in the report.
1- Change the control panel
The first changes, which can be said to be confirmed, is that Apple will put a change in the design of the upper part of the user interface in iOS 16, following it has become almost certain that the new generation of iPhone will arrive without a notch for the first time in years, and there will be a hole for the front camera and next to it is the part of the headset and interface sensors Like Face ID.
Thus, there will be more space to display more features at the top of the screen, and it is expected that there will be a change in the basic control panel of the phone with new features.
Among the additions that will come, there will be a “widget” that offers control functions such as a button to control the screen brightness directly from the panel.
As mentioned by previous leaks supported by an image of the user interface, the Control Center will include a new feature called infoShack, but there is no clear information regarding the role or tasks that it will provide.
2- New apps pre-installed in iOS 16
In a report to the Bloomberg newspaper, he confirmed that the upcoming operating system will contain more private and official applications for Apple, which will be pre-installed on the system and will provide more services to the user.
She pointed out that it is also possible that applications that provide several services will be divided so that each application is dedicated to a single service.
3- Do not turn off the screen
Among the features that iPhone users have waited for in previous years, especially because of its presence in the competing Android system, is the option to always work the screen or Always-On Display without turning off following a specific time.
Apple offers to control when the screen turns off when the iPhone is off, but in iOS 16 there will be an additional option, Always-On Display.
4- Split screen in iOS 16
One of the features that iPhone users have been waiting for year following year and in every release is the ability to split the screen and use two apps at the same time on one screen.
The feature has already arrived in the Android system years ago and has become one of the most important strengths of smartphones following the trend to produce larger screens with reduced edges, so it became possible to deal with two applications at the same moment.
Information said that the new practical feature will finally arrive in iOS 16, but it will need work from the developers as well in order to provide the best user experience.
5- Use the iPhone in landscape mode
If you are an old user of the iPhone, not for a long time but only back to the iPhone 6, 7 and even 8 before iOS 14, the user might view the main interface of the phone in landscape mode.
Despite the fact that the screen size has increased in the latest iPhone phones, the versions of the operating system decided to stop offering the landscape mode display of the interface and applications and were content with it only while using applications and displaying content from the inside.
In iOS 16, Apple decided to return once more and improve the exploitation of large screens, by displaying images in landscape mode completely with the interface and applications.
