Sorry Android fans, but one thing that makes iPhone stand out is that the iOS system upgrades faster than Android. If you think about it, iOS is already at 16 while Android is only at 12.

Unlike Android, iOS 16 has new personalisation features, deeper intelligence, and seamless ways to communicate and share.

Here are some of the interesting features of the new iOS 16 that is now out.

Keyboard

Apart from new languages for emoji search and new languages for autocorrect, there is now keyboard haptics.

It is responsive feedback from your phone whenever you press a key, in case you need to feel confirmation when you type. If you’ve not tried this before, you should really give it a go: it’ll make it feel like you’re pressing a physical button when there isn’t any.

Before that, you’d have to download a third-party app to use this function.

CarPlay 

The next generation of CarPlay covers all of a driver’s screens for a cohesive experience. It is specific to each vehicle, accommodating unique screen shapes and layouts. Drivers can choose their gauge cluster design.

Fuelling and driving task apps are also available in CarPlay to help you with road information, toll support, and towing help.

Apple will also be announcing more on their vehicle in late 2023.

Freeform 

Freeform now comes with flexible canvas that is perfect for diagramming new projects or simply cracking your brains to think of a new idea. 

You can also view others’ contributions and make edits. If you are a student doing group projects, you will know who are the slackers to mark down for peer evaluation.

Memoji

The Memoji is a cute avatar that you can customise to look like yourself.

In the new update, you will get more expressive poses if you want to be less boring on text to the new guy you met on Tinder.

There are also more hairstyles, headwear and lip colour which you can customise.

Apple has an all-new Home app that helps you to navigate, organise, view, and control your accessories. You can improve the architecture to enhance your smart home’s performance.

Multiple devices can be used as well.

Here’s the chance to teach your grandparents the power of smart living.

iCloud Shared Photo Library

Now, you can share your photo library using the iCloud Shared library system. An album can be shared with up to five people.

You can select past photos or choose specific photos based on the dates or the people.

There’s no need to squabble over low-quality images sent through WhatsApp or Telegram as these photos are original quality from your iPhones.

Which, of course, means it’ll take more data.

Siri

Siri is our all-time best friend and lifesaver.

Now, you can insert emojis when sending messages with Siri. Siri also works offline and you can even ask Siri questions like “Hey Siri, what can I do here?”

There are many more updates that Apple has to offer but the above are the cooler ones.
