The Verge

Along with the release of the newest version of the mobile operating system, Apple has revealed a series of new lock screenWidgets. It is obvious that a refreshed lock screen is the most obvious change to iOS in this latest update, but you will have to wait a little while.

While some developers are pushing updates to their apps today, we can expect these to arrive "in the coming weeks," so until they're available, we'll walk you through the showcase.

There are several different displays on the lock screen that pull information from your inbox. One view shows the number of unread messages in your inbox and the other shows a bar with the date and number of unread messages.

There are public transportation details and location reminders that can be included in the automatic surface of ETAs for places it thinks you should go. It can show you nearby restaurants, shopping centers, coffee shops, and hotels with a single tap.

You can use one-tap buttons to open up a search box, use the camera to search using the camera, go to voice search, or open directly into the tools that come with the service.

Incognito, voice search, and open up the dinosaur game are just a few of the things that will be included in the future. You can get access to starred folders with one click and be notified when a folder or document has been shared with you, as well as a preview of a headline and story, if you install the News app on your phone.
