iOS 16 was introduced more than six months ago at WWDC 2022. But by now not all the announced features have reached users’ devices. Some of them can already be tested in iOS 16.3 beta, such as physical security keys for two-factor authentication. And others like push notifications in Safariwhich should give a new twist to PWA development is still under development.
iOS 16 will still be able to surprise users with new features.
❗️ЕЩЕ БОЛЬШЕ СТАТЕЙ ОБ APPLE ИЩИТЕ В НАШЕМ ДЗЕНЕ СОВЕРШЕННО БЕСПЛАТНО
Some of the planned features will not appear in Russia, so you definitely shouldn’t be very upset due to their absence. It’s here push into Safari it could bring good benefits to users. We have collected all the features of iOS 16, which will appear in 2023.
Notifications in Safari
Push notifications in Safari is one of the most anticipated features of iOS 16. It will be especially relevant for our country, because a very large number of popular applications have simply been removed from the App Store, and in some situations it is necessary use the APWA. And the only thing such applications lack for full use is notifications.
For apps removed from the App Store, it’s push notifications in Safari that will bring iOS users back.
Press Safari could solve this problem. That is, it will be enough for you to go to the same Sberbank Online through the website and agree to receive notifications. And everything will work the same way as with a full-fledged bank client. A very convenient feature, especially for those who have little memory on their iPhone and don’t want to occupy it with useless applications.
Hire purchase
This payment method is suitable for budget purchases.
Unfortunately this spring Apple Pay in Russia it doesn’t work and the Apple Card has never been to our country. Still not talking about it Apple pays later, the release of which the Cupertino company has delayed, we cannot. It is in fact an installment plan for a paid purchase, the cost of which is divided equally by Apple Pay itself without the need to obtain a separate card. Within six weeks it will be necessary to make four equal payments, which will fully cover the cost of the goods without interest and any commissions.

In Russia, Tinkoff Bank has something similar. This is the Actions service. The principle is the same here. Within a few weeks, the purchase is paid for in full. In the case of Apple, the convenience for users in the United States is that this service is fully integrated into their devices and does not require additional programs and settings. Everything is done from iPhone, iPad or Mac.
Two-factor Apple authentication
Of physical keys for two-factor authentication we have already discussed in a separate article. If you haven’t read it yet, be sure to check it out. You can also find links to purchase them there. Simply put, their essence is that no one will be able to enter your Apple ID until you connect a special NFC key to the smartphone’s NFC antenna. No SMS or code words. Thus, no one will be able to withdraw them or, even having access to your phone number, will not access your account.
You will need to buy at least two security keys and they cost a lot.
Of course, this story isn’t so much about convenience as it is about safety. Therefore, if the latter is more important to you, then it is worth purchasing such a thing. Now you can try security keys on your running iPhone iOS 16.3 beta. Like install the firmwarewe said separately, so if you are interested, you can try it yourself.
Online savings account
With Apple Card, users will be able to save money and earn interest.
This function will also not be available in Russia, since it is part of the Apple Card. All its users will have the opportunity to open a special savings account with Goldman Sachs and receive all cashback on it. At the same time, the funds will not only remain in this account, but will bring the owner a small income.

This, of course, is not a full-fledged deposit in the form we are used to. There are no requirements for the minimum balance and the replenishment amount, but it will allow you to somehow increase the income collected from purchases using the Apple Card. Most likely, Apple card holders will like this opportunity, but for Russia not it matters.
iCloud encryption
In iOS 16.2, Apple introduced a special advanced iCloud data protection for those users who want to get the highest level of security and not worry about the safety of information important to them stored in the cloud. At the time of release, only US users could activate this feature. For all other countries, it should only appear in early 2023.
In Russia, extended data protection is not yet available.
It is not known whether Russia will be included in this list. But Apple has no barriers to add it. There is no need to negotiate with anyone, as was the case with Apple Card. Everything will depend only on the desire of the company itself. We hope that such a wish will appear and our iPhone users will also be able to protect all of theirs data in iCloud.
Emergency calls via satellite on iPhone
In a critical situation, this feature can really save a life.
iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Plus, iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max the opportunity to send text messages via satellite communications to the emergency services. From the beginning it was only available for the United States and Canada, then it appeared in France, Germany, Ireland and the United Kingdom. This is especially convenient for fans of extreme recreation somewhere in the mountains, where there is no normal coverage of mobile operators.
❗️ПОДПИШИСЬ НА НАШ ЧАТИК В ТЕЛЕГРАМЕ. ТАМ ТЕБЕ ОТВЕТЯТ НА ЛЮБЫЕ ВОПРОСЫ
Having encountered some kind of problem, the user just needs to press a couple of buttons, catch a satellite signal and he will be able to broadcast a message that a problem has happened to him, along with data about his geolocation. In 2023, Apple plans to further expand the geography of this feature. In Russia, it’s definitely not worth waiting in the near future, because new iPhones we are not officially for sale.
Car Play — iOS 16
In iOS 16 Apple has seriously redesigned CarPlay. In a separate article, we did not dwell in detail on all of his abilities. Now iPhone can control absolutely all screens in your car, including speedometer, tachometer, climate control and other important options.
CarPlay on all monitors. It can even replace automaker software.
First CarPlay-enabled vehicles new generation will appear at the end of 2023. The most famous automakers that have already declared their support are: Acura, Audi, Ford, Honda, Jaguar, Land Rover, Mercedes-Benz, Nissan, Porsche, Volvo. But it’s one thing to announce and quite another to start selling. It is worth waiting for new cars to go on sale no earlier than the beginning of 2024. Therefore, the implementation new CarPlay it won’t be as fast as Apple would like.
