Here are some of the most exciting highlights from last night's Apple Event
During the annual Worldwide Developer Conference 2022 (WWDC), Apple CEO Tim Cook presented pre-recorded footage of the company executives introducing the software's latest versions. Fortunately, Apple listens to its users' demands, considering that the updates announced were some of the most requested features ever, from message functions to lock screen personalisation.
All New Lock Screen
With the new iOS update, users can now customise the lock screen. They can tap on elements and edit typefaces, sizes, colours, and the photo displayed. There's also a wallpaper gallery where users can access the Photo Shuffle feature and choose a set of photos to display instead of having one wallpaper. There are also other wallpapers to choose from with cool built-in animations. Widgets such as calendars, activity rings, and weather among many others can also be added to get needed information at one glance.
Edit, Unsend and Unread Messages
iMessage now allows users to edit delivered messages. They can also remove messages by tapping on "undo send". Immediately, any embarrassing text will disappear and a notification at the bottom saying "You unsent a message" will appear at the bottom.
If users can't think of a response to a text at the moment, they can also mark a message as "unread".

The iOS 16 also includes Apple Pay Later, the brand's new buy now, pay later service, which allows users to purchase four instalments without interest and pay within six weeks.
The first payment must be paid upfront, but the rest must be paid every week over three weeks. All payments are managed in the Wallet app.
It's accepted both online and in-app as it uses the Mastercard network.
Redesigned Map

The new map features incredible detail for landcover, elevation, and roads that make it so much easier for users to recognise locations.
