This major software update introduces a sweeping redesign with 'Liquid Glass,' a new suite of Apple Intelligence features, and significant upgrades to core apps like Phone, Messages, Camera, and Photos.

Here's the complete breakdown of every new feature available for your iPhone.

DESIGN

New Design
● Liquid Glass
Combining the optical qualities of glass with a sense of fluidity, Liquid Glass forms the foundation of the new design. It reflects and refracts what's underneath it in real time, while dynamically transforming to help bring greater focus to your content. It makes what you do on iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch even more delightful, from the Lock Screen and Control Center, to app icons, controls, and navigation.

● Updated controls
Buttons, sliders, switches and other controls you use everyday come alive with Liquid Glass as you interact with them bringing joy and delight to even the simplest of interactions.

● Dynamic tools & navigation
Liquid Glass toolbars and navigation across apps like Mail, Notes, Messages and more bring more focus to your content, and fluidly morph as you need access to more tools or move through different views of your app.

● Dynamic tab bars
Liquid Glass tab bars across apps like Apple Music, Podcasts, News and more bring more focus to your content, shrink to create more space as you scroll, and fluidly expand the moment you need them when you scroll up or tap on the tab bar button.


● In-place alerts

When editing or formatting text the edit menu can be expanded into a vertical context menu to make finding the commands you need even easier.

● Light-tinted icons & widgets
Personalize your app icons and widgets with a lighter, colored tint.

Or choose to switch between light and dark colored tints automatically based on whether Dark Mode is turned on or off.
