CUPERTINO, Calif. (AP) — It’s iOS 16. But will it, indeed, be sweet for those who use Apple devices? During most of its annual developers conference yesterday, Apple spent time talking up the new features in the software packages that run iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch and Mac computers. One big change is how the items on a user’s home screen are displayed. The new iOS will also feature a reboot of the device’s lock screen. Still another feature would make it possible for those sending texts to edit or delete them. The new software will be released this fall as a free download.
