iOS 16 introduced a lot of little features. Here are the things I first noticed after upgrading:
1) Lock Screen widgets (AOD😉)
2) Notifications feel hidden at the bottom of the Lock Screen
3) I can’t play/pause media on the Lock Screen because the player isn’t centered anymore🧵 4) I don’t scroll the Digital Crown on the Apple Watch anymore given that watchOS 9 requires holding down the Digital Crown to unlock from sleep/school time/water lock.

The larger watch faces for the Apple Watch Series 7 rumor by @markgurman (and given design rumor from @jon_prosser) holds up based on what I’ve found in the watchOS code. Apple let this ‘modularXLMusic’ graphic and larger existing complications slip through in a watchOS 8 beta. The concept above is what I imagine this moduleXL complication could look like which is basically the Graphic Extra Large complication on the modular watch face instead of the X-Large watch face. This could be an option along side @ParkerOrtolani’s concept

Apple announced support for NFC stickers/tags that trigger Apple Pay for payment without having an app installed. Imagine tapping your phone on a scooter or a parking-meter and paying for it without signing up or downloading an app first. #ApplePay Apple is working with Bird scooters, Bonobos, and PayByPhone (parking-meters) on the initial rollout. Also instant-enrollment for loyalty cards in Apple Wallet is coming. I’m sure we’ll hear more about this at #WWDC19. #ApplePay
