iOS 16 was introduced more than six months ago at WWDC 2022. But by now, not all announced features have reached user 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 round to the development of PWA 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 expected features will not appear in Russia, so you definitely shouldn’t be very upset because of their absence. And here push in Safari could bring good benefits to users. We 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 you have to use PWA. And the only thing missing from such applications for full use is notifications.
For apps removed from the App Store, it is push notifications in Safari that will bring iOS users back.
Push in Safari just might 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 as through a full-fledged bank client. A very convenient feature, especially for those who have little memory on their iPhone and have no desire to occupy it with unnecessary applications.
Installment purchase
This method of payment is suitable for inexpensive purchases.
Unfortunately, this spring Apple Pay in Russia does not work, and the Apple Card has never been in our country at all. Still don’t talk about Apple Pay Later, the release of which the company from Cupertino delayed, we cannot. In fact, this is an installment plan for a paid purchase, the cost of which is divided into equal parts by Apple Pay itself without the need to get 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 Shares service. The principle is the same here. Within a few weeks, the purchase is paid in full. In the case of Apple, the convenience for users in the US is that this service is fully integrated into their devices and does not require any extra programs and settings. Everything is done from iPhone, iPad or Mac.
Apple Two-Factor Authentication
About 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. In a nutshell, their essence is that no one will be able to enter your Apple ID until they attach a special NFC key to the smartphone’s NFC antenna. No SMS or code words. Therefore, no one will be able to pick them up, or even having access to your phone number, will not enter your account.
You will have to buy at least two security keys, and they cost a lot.
Naturally, this story is not so much about convenience as it is about safety. Therefore, if the latter is more important to you, then it is worth acquiring such a thing. Now you can try security keys on your iPhone running iOS 16.3 beta. As install firmwarewe told separately, so if you are interested, you can try it for yourself.
Savings account online
With the Apple Card, users will be able to save money and earn interest.
This feature will also not be available in Russia, as 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 just lie on this account, but will bring a small amount of income to the owner.

This, of course, is not a full-fledged deposit in the form in which we are used to it. There are no requirements for the minimum balance and replenishment amount, but it will allow you to somehow increase the income collected from purchases using the Apple Card. Most likely, the owners of the Apple card will appreciate this opportunity, but for Russia it does not matter.
iCloud Encryption
In iOS 16.2, Apple introduced a special advanced iCloud data protection for those users who want to get the maximum level of security and not worry about the safety of their important information that is stored in the cloud. At the time of release, only US users could activate this feature. For all other countries, it should appear just at the beginning of 2023.
In Russia, extended data protection is not yet available.
Whether Russia will be included in this list is unknown. But Apple has no barriers to adding it. There is no need to negotiate with anyone, as is the case with the Apple Card. Everything will depend only on the desire of the company itself. Let’s hope that such a desire will appear, and even our iPhone users will be able to protect all their data in iCloud.
Emergency satellite calls on iPhone
In a critical situation, this function can really save a life.
В iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Plus, iPhone 14 Pro и iPhone 14 Pro Max the opportunity to send text messages using satellite communications to emergency services. From the beginning it was available only for the US and Canada, and then appeared in France, Germany, Ireland and the UK. This is especially convenient for fans of extreme recreation somewhere in the mountains, where there is no usual coverage of cellular operators.
❗️ПОДПИШИСЬ НА НАШ ЧАТИК В ТЕЛЕГРАМЕ. ТАМ ТЕБЕ ОТВЕТЯТ НА ЛЮБЫЕ ВОПРОСЫ
Having got into some kind of trouble, the user just needs to press a couple of buttons, catch the satellite signal and he will be able to transmit a message that trouble has happened to him, along with data about his geolocation. In 2023, Apple expects to further expand the geography of this feature. In Russia, it is definitely not worth waiting for in the near future, because new iPhones we are not officially on sale.
CarPlay — iOS 16
In iOS 16 Apple has seriously redesigned CarPlay. In a separate article, we did not dwell in detail on all its capabilities. Now iPhone can control absolutely all the screens in your car, including the speedometer, tachometer, climate control and other important options.
CarPlay on all monitors. Can even replace the software of automakers.
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 on sale no earlier than the beginning of 2024. Therefore, the implementation new CarPlay will not be as fast as Apple would like.
