Is IOS 16 worth upgrading? You will know these advantages and disadvantages!

IOS16 is the latest new system released by Apple. On this system, Apple has made changes to many applications, making the use of Apple mobile phones more convenient and secure. Is the value of IOS16 worth updating? Don't worry. Xiao Bian introduces the advantages and disadvantages of IOS 16 here today, so that you can clearly understand this problem.

Is IOS 16 worth upgrading

It is definitely worth updating. However, since the system has just been released and there will be some bugs, it is not recommended that you update it immediately. You can bear to update it after several versions.

Advantages and Disadvantages of IOS 16

Advantages

IOS 16 has added many new features, such as the lock screen interface that can display more content, and the return of the battery percentage. Privacy protection has also been greatly enhanced.

Disadvantages

Increased power consumption

This problem occurs almost every time you update iOS. The specific reason is usually that after the iOS system is upgraded, the internal file index needs to be rebuilt for a certain period of time, which is equivalent to the system traversing all the files in the phone. In theory, the more space the phone uses, the longer the time is consumed, and the more power is consumed. During this period, there will be abnormal heating, and even the system will get stuck.

Application Flash Back

Some apps after iOS 16 could not be opened. Even if they were started reluctantly, they would flash back in an instant, including WeChat. Even Pan Yueming, the star, was unlucky. However, it is likely that the application version is too low. Upgrading to the latest version can solve this problem.

The lock screen font is too large

One of the new features of iOS 16 is the addition of rich lock screen interfaces and wallpapers. However, one problem is that the font size of lock screen cannot be adjusted. Some originally beautiful wallpapers with large fonts will give people a sense of top heaviness.

IOS 16 hidden function

Get rid of duplicate photos: iOS 16 Photo App can let users know whether there are multiple identical photos in iPhone, and can delete additional photos to save space. Duplicate photos are listed in the new Duplicate album.

AirPods update: It is easier to manage AirPods settings in iOS 16. When connecting to AirPods, a special option will appear in the settings app. IOS 16 also adds a personalized spatial audio function, which uses the original depth camera to scan the user's ears, providing a unique listening experience tailored for users.

Face ID in landscape mode: iPhone running iOS 16 already supports face ID in landscape mode. When iPhone is not held in the standard vertical direction, it can more easily unlock the phone. This feature is limited to iPhone 13 and later.

Protect hidden and deleted photos: In iOS 16, users need to use Face ID or Touch ID for authentication before they can access hidden and recently deleted albums. If someone accesses your phone without unlocking it, iPhone will lock these albums.

WiFi password: If you have ever been frustrated by not being able to access the network WiFi password you are using, this will change in iOS 16. In the iPhone's WiFi settings, users can finally see the connected network password.

Keyboard haptic feedback: iOS 16 has a keyboard setting that allows users to enable haptic feedback when typing. Each key will generate vibration, providing users with a physical confirmation that the letter has been clicked.

Copying and deleting screenshots: When users capture screenshots on iOS, they can also "copy and delete" screenshots in addition to saving them to "photos", "quick notes" and "files". The new option saves screenshots to the clipboard, making it easier to use one-time screenshots without having to save them to the device for cleaning.

The ability to delete "Find My", "Clock" and "Health": Starting from iOS 14, Apple allows users to uninstall some pre installed apps on iPhone. More uninstallable apps are available in iOS 16, including "Find My", "Clock" and "Health". Users can also re download deleted apps from the App Store.

Built in currency conversion: iOS 16 has a built-in currency conversion function in the camera and Photo app. Just aim the iPhone camera at the price tag, wait for the real-time text icon to appear, click and hold the price, and then select "Convert".

View battery percentage: In iOS 16, Apple allows users to directly display the iPhone battery percentage in the status bar in the battery icon, but the status bar battery percentage is not available on all iPhones.

Use Siri to end a call: A new setting in iOS 16 allows users to end an ongoing call using Siri. Enter Settings> Accessibility> Siri and activate the call hang up. The user can say "Hey Siri, hang up" to end the call in progress. Note that others on the call will hear your request to Siri before hanging up.

Prevent accidental call termination: Users on iOS 16 can now disable the side button to end a call. In previous iOS versions, pressing the side button and locking iPhone during a call immediately ended the call. In iOS 16, Apple allows users to enter Settings> Accessibility> "Touch" and turn on "Prevent lock to end call" to disable the function.

Sorting options for playlists: In Apple Music on iOS 16, users can now sort playlists by title, artist, album, and release date. When viewing the playlist, press the three points in the upper right corner to find new sorting options.

Full screen music player: One of the main but perhaps little-known features of iOS 16 is that Apple will bring back a full screen lock screen music player. When listening to songs from Apple Music, Spotify or other third-party music apps, press to lock the album cover on the screen in "Now Playing" to enter the new player appearance. Click the full screen album cover to minimize "Now Playing".

Space audio specially designed for users: With the latest AirPods and some Beats headphones, iOS 16 users can activate personalized space audio. This feature supports  The LiDAR scanner on iPhone 12 Pro, iPhone 13 Pro or iPhone 14 Pro scans the shape of the user's ears to provide a better spatial audio experience.

New warning during charging: On iOS 16, if the user's iPhone is hot, the phone will receive a new notification informing the user that charging will be suspended until the iPhone temperature drops. This is to prevent possible long-term damage to the iPhone battery.

In general, IOS16 is worth updating. After the update, many new functions will appear, making your phone more intelligent. However, because it is a new system, there will inevitably be some BUGs. If you can accept these BUGs, you should upgrade them.
