iOS 16 versus iOS 15: Should you update?

iOS 16 is here, but is it that different to iOS 15? Here’s a quick look at how it compares to its predecessor and the new features that should make it a serious upgrade.

THE LOCK SCREEN

While iOS 15 did a good job of smartening up the look and feel of the system, it still left the first screen you see a bit on the basic side. That’s changed now in iOS 16 thanks to the revamped Lock Screen.

With this feature you’re able to customize how the information appears on the screen. Photos can be placed in front of things like the time and date, making the aesthetic more 3D than before and certainly better than anything you’re likely to find on Android at the moment.
