iOS 16 review: Apple opens the lock screen

Apple has focused on modernizing the iPhone lock screen, making it a more useful part of how you interact with your phone. These changes also make it easier to use the iPhone’s Focus modes, which remain a little complicated to setup. The company has made lots of minor changes and improvements that add up to a better iPhone experience. Apple’s Messages app continues to improve, and the increasingly useful Visual Lookup feature is something an Android device can’t quite replicate. Yet.

Pros: Customizable lock screen, Visual Lookup is smarter and more useful, haptic typing, launch bugs seem minimal.

Cons: Some features demand the latest iPhone hardware, others need third-party app support.
