According to Apple, in the new version of iOS, the lock screen has been redesigned and various options for personalization are offered to the user. iOS 16 has new wallpapers and hosts changes to iMessage and other apps.
As expected, the new version of iOS is not available for all devices that supported iOS 15. We have long expected Apple to end support for the iPhone 6s and the first generation iPhone SE with iOS 16, but the end of support for the iPhone 7 was a bit unexpected. According to Apple, iOS 16 will be released for iPhone 8 and newer phones.
