Apple has consistently made changes to the Lock Screen user interface through the three prior developer betas, and the fourth is no different. When the Lock Screen creation user interface is opened, there are new options for customization to make the choices easier to understand. New options exist at the bottom of the display to make the Lock Screen a solid color, gradient, filtered, or photo. Each widget field now has a prompt that reads 'Add Widgets,' identifying the fields more clearly to the end user. More importantly, Apple released the beta of ActivityKit, the API that will be used to create Live Activities widgets. These will appear at the bottom of the Lock Screen automatically and represent urgent and timely actions, like tracking an Uber ride or a delivery order. Live Activities won't be ready for the fall release, but it'll come in the subsequent releases of iOS 16.
Other slight revisions to the iOS 16 developer beta include a bolder music player on the Lock Screen and a volume slider that grows in size when it is increased. There are also new wallpapers for scenes and rooms in the Home app featuring architectural and floral pictures and CarPlay wallpapers that compliment iOS 16. In addition, numerous bug fixes highlight the fourth developer beta, per the release notes, indicating that the software is getting closer to the final product that will be shipped in the fall.
Laziness is very attractive to ignorance, so wherever there is laziness in the quest for knowledge, be certain to find ignorance married happily to Mr. laziness, making a perfect couple with darkness as their residence. Corrections, criticisms and the like are welcome as usual. They keep me on my toes and on the look out for much information. Since information is key in this day and age.
