Every year, Apple makes significant software updates to keep the iPhone modern. Additionally, it is simultaneously accessible for all compatible devices, unlike Google’s Android. The update for this year is significant, adding a brand-new lock screen that can be personalized with widgets and typefaces that were previously restricted to the home screen.
