Hey guys Welcome to PANHWAR Tech
Today we are talk about ios 16,s amazing features.
5.
apple pay
now one new thing coming is that you're very soon going to be able to tap two iphones together and just with that transfer money from one user to another user that's pretty cool already but then something i think is absolutely enormous is a feature that they're calling apple pay later it,
basically lets you when you're about to buy a product using apple pay to split that payment up into four separate chunks with zero interest and no fees so at the point where you're buying something apple pays the full amount of that purchase
to the company and then over the course of the next six weeks takes back that amount bit by bit from your account it's almost like apple's becoming a bank and related to that they're also,

lasering in on expanding the apple wallet
you can kind of tell that the end goal here what apple's trying to achieve with ios is to effectively replace your actual wallet so for example right now they're working with various states and
cities to try to make your apple wallet hold your driving license plus your keys your apple wallet can now hold your hotel keys your office keys your home keys and just like with a physical key that you could you know take out of your wallet and hand over to someone else you can now just send someone one of your virtual keys through apple messages can you imagine if you sent them to the wrong contact though,
3.
Apple Maps
okay the new apple maps is also kind of exciting now just to give you a little bit of context i'm pretty much mostly a google maps user i quite like how it's it's not focused on being ultimately streamlined and instead just focuses on getting as many features in as possible but there is enough new stuff coming to apple maps that i'm pretty keen to give it another go there's an upgraded 3d view,
which highlights buildings with better elevation and improved detail and to be fair on the demos they showed us this looks insane with even a different aesthetic depending on whether your iphone is set to light mode or dark mode but i think i do need to see how it looks in the more day-to-day more normal rural scenarios to come to a conclusion but there's more you can now plan a route with up to 15 different stops in advance you can plan that route on your mac,
and then send it straight to your iphone which is actually something that i would use it will save me the couple of minutes that it takes to re-enter it on my phone plus you can also see the fares and actually make the payment for those fares of any public transport within the apple maps app one of the things that i'm most excited about though is how ios 16 handles,
2.
Notifications
I think the key thing it's trying to do is reduce that feeling of spam so for starters notifications now come up from the bottom of your lock screen instead of near the top but then also i imagine i'm not the only one who has a couple of apps that try to ping me like 10 different times per day you get this a lot if you use sporting apps they'll give you a new notification literally anytime,
even the most minor thing happens so ios 16 separates them it puts these activity-based notifications into a separate live activities section it makes them more compact and it allows you to set them so that they don't bug you in the same way that notifications that actually require your attention need,
1.
Lock Screen Costmization
I would say the most significant change in ios 16 is the lock screen it's taking its sweet sweet time but finally we have proper lock screen customization you press and hold on your screen and it takes you to the editor mode it's it's a very apple experience like it's definitely somewhat controlled like you,
can't change the core format of the screen and you still can't move around the camera icon or the flashlight icon but in traditional apple style it does make the customization very easy like with one swipe you can change the color filter applied to the wallpaper you can change the text font you can change the text color and then if you don't love the automatic settings that,
apple's chosen for you you can tap on any individual element to have a fiddle yourself the your phone can detect the multiple different layers within a portrait mode shot that you've taken and sandwich the clock between them there's a new look to music with bigger album art plus widgets in ios 14 apple introduced widgets on the home screen and now in ios 16 you get widgets on the lock screen and they're not just the same widgets repurposed they're brand new and they're custom made to fit better and also,
you can now have one lock screen for when you're at work with your work notifications your work wallpaper and your work widgets and then with one swipe you can switch to your personal ones a lot of these features are not new to smartphones but the fact that they've been made easy here means that i think a lot more people are about to start using them.
