Exclusive: inside Apple’s iOS 16 remake of the iPhone’s iconic Lock Screen
- 2 tahun yang lalu
Your iPhone’s Lock Screen is the first thing you see when you pick up your phone. It’s also the face you present to the world and those who might glance at the phone in your hand, its screen temporarily lit up by your touch.
The Lock Screen is the thing you interact with more than anything else on your phone - it's the most personalized part of the phone, and yet with iOS 16, Apple is offering fundamental changes to the iconic screen; Apple SVP of Engineering Craig Federighi described it to TechRadar this week as “a massive step forward.”
The roughly two-year-long journey from early Home Screen personalization efforts in iOS 14 to the rich and surprisingly expressive tools in iOS 16 is, in some ways, obvious: a joint effort between engineering and design to offer customization without muddying what people know and love about the iOS interface. But it's also a story full of surprises and, yes, innovation.
As Apple’s WWDC 2022 wound down, Federighi and Apple VP of Design Alan Dye sat down via video conference with us to walk us through the development, decisions, and deep technology that led to the all-new Lock Screen features coming to iPhones.
Your Lock Screen is already a destination for utility (camera and flashlight access), information (all those notifications that can crowd the screen), and some light personalization (the photo of your partner or cat).
