Viticci is out again with another massive review of the latest version of iOS! I like the framing he starts with:
iOS 16, launching today for a variety of iPhone models dating back to the iPhone 8, marks Apple’s triumphant return to user personalization, with a twist: while in 2020 customization might have felt like a happy consequence of Apple’s engineering, this time the company has intentionally marketed iOS 16 as an update that will make an iPhone feel truly your own.
I’m a bit skeptical at the moment because at least in my experience some of these features are just too complicated. Apple is continuing to build out Focus Modes, and tying those into Lock Screens and additional widgets. I've yet to understand the mental model that this is built on, and if I can’t see that I have no idea how your average user is going to figure it out. We'll see. Also check out Viticci's iOS 16: All the Things I Didn’t Like list.
