1-Safari Browser
Safari browser is also redesigned as it includes an address bar down at the bottom, which is more reachable now. When you want to type in it, it moves back up to the top and disappears when you are scrolling through the opened page in Safari, and at that time, Safari will be in full screen, and you can also swipe across it to switch between your open tab more conveniently.
2-Facetime App
There are new features in the Facetime app as there's spatial audio, so now, people's voices come from the direction they're oriented on the screen in group face times. There's portrait mode added so you can blur your background. There are also different microphone modes that you can choose depending on the environment you are in with background noise.
Now the link of Facetime calls can also be shared, and that link can be opened in any web browser, including Android and Windows web browsers, and non-Apple users can now join Facetime calls.
3-Focus Mode
You can now turn on focus mode in which you can create multiple profiles (some profiles are given by default), which will let you silence multiple apps notifications, including messaging app. The person you're messaging will see that you have notifications silenced. You can also create profiles depending on which time or place you want to apply focus mode.
When a user sets a focus mode, it will sync to all of his Apple devices using the same Apple ID.
4-Shared Play
If you're on a facetime with someone and you want to watch or listen to something together at the same time, now that feature you can listen to apple music together with someone or watch tv shows or movies on apple tv with synced playback controls so one person pauses, it pauses at the same time for everyone, and if one person fast forwards, it will fast forward for everyone, but this feature is available for limited apps right now, not all the apps supports this feature.
5-Live Text
There is also included a feature called live text. Any image you have with text in it from your camera app or any picture in your gallery, you can long-press the text in that image, and it'll recognize it and let you do anything such as you can select and copy and paste it somewhere. This feature also works on other objects, such as it can tell you the bread of the cat or dog in the picture, but this feature will only work on devices with a12 bionic chip or later chip.
6-Apple Maps
Apple maps now have much more details to catch up with google maps and have 3d models of various buildings and landmarks in certain cities yet, but more cities may be included over time.
7-Notifications
There is a feature included in notification known as notifications summary. This feature will collect and arrange all the notifications in priority order from higher priority to lower priority using artificial intelligence analysis and deal with them accordingly.
8-Weather App
The weather app is changed now because it includes features like the dark sky, live weather notifications, and big full-screen animations. It also includes an animated background feature in which background changes as the condition of weather changes, like the position of sun, rain, and snow.
9-Clock App
iPhone's new clock app also looks mostly the same, but one minor change is that it lets you type the time for your alarm instead of dealing with the figure’s sliders all the time.
10-Health App
The health app now includes sharing feature in which you can share your health data with your family. It can also store data results from Covid-19 tests by scanning the QR code from the concerned healthcare provider. It also includes walking steadiness to help manage fall risk.
