Hey friends
I received this and wanted to share it with you :




iOS 16 will support the iPhone 8, iPhone X, and newer models. Even so, not 
all functions will be available to older iPhones. With that in mind, 9to5Mac 
gathered all the features that will require at least an iPhone XR and iPhone 
XS, when this upcoming operating system is available to all users a month 
from now.



Some features will only be available to iPhones with the A12 Bionic chip or 
newer, which are:



iPhone XR

iPhone XS

iPhone 11

iPhone 11 Pro

iPhone SE (2nd gen)

iPhone 12

iPhone 12 Pro

iPhone 13

iPhone 13 Pro

iPhone SE (3rd gen).



Here are all the features coming to only a few iPhones with iOS 16 later 
this fall:



Live Text in videos: Text is now completely interactive in paused video 
frames, so you can use functions like copy and paste, lookup, and Translate. 
This feature works in Photos, Quick Look, Safari, and other apps.



Quick actions in Live Text: Data detected in photos and videos is actionable 
with a single tap. Track flights or shipments, translate foreign languages, 
and convert currencies.



New languages for Live Text: With iOS 16, Live Text recognizes Japanese, 
Korean, and Ukrainian text.



Emoji in texts: You can insert emoji when sending messages with Siri. It’s 
available in Cantonese (Hong Kong), English (Australia, Canada, India, UK, 
US), French (France), German (Germany), Japanese (Japan), Mandarin Chinese 
(China mainland, Taiwan), and Spanish (Mexico, Spain, US).



Discover Siri capabilities and apps: Open an app and ask, “Hey Siri, what 
can I do here?” or you can inquire about a specific app by saying, for 
example, “Hey Siri, what can I do with iRobot?” This feature is available in 
German (Germany), English (Australia, Canada, India, UK, US), Spanish 
(Mexico, Spain, U.S.), French (France), Japanese (Japan), Mandarin Chinese 
(China mainland), and Cantonese (Hong Kong).



All-new Dictation experience: You can move fluidly between voice and touch 
in iOS 16. Type with the keyboard, tap in the text field, move the cursor, 
and insert QuickType suggestions, all without needing to stop Dictation.



Add medications using your iPhone camera: You can quickly add medications by 
using your iPhone XR/XS camera in iOS 16. Simply position the medication 
label in the frame and you’ll see results for medication name, strength, and 
form.



Image search in more apps: With iOS 16, Spotlight uses information from 
images in Messages, Notes, and Files to enable searching by locations, 
people, scenes, or even things in the images, like text, a dog, etc.



Visual Look Up improvements: Lift the subject from an image or isolate the 
subject by removing the background. This works in Photos, Screenshot, Quick 
Look, Safari, and more.



New domains for Visual Look Up: Visual Look Up adds recognition of birds, 
insects, and statues.



Astronomy wallpaper: With iOS 16 beta 2, Apple made available the Astronomy 
wallpapers for iPhone XR and iPhone XS users.

Previously, it would only work with A13 compatible devices.



iOS 16 features for iPhone 11 and later



Live Captions: Transcriptions are generated automatically in real-time for 
users who are deaf or hard of hearing so they can follow along more easily 
with conversations, audio, and video. Requires an iPhone 11, iPad with A12 
Bionic chip, or Mac with Apple silicon. Only available in English (Canada, 
US).



iOS 16 features exclusive to iPhone 13 models



iPhone 13 models also have exclusive features with iOS 16. Here they are:



Foreground blur in portrait photos: Portrait mode lets you blur objects in 
the foreground of a photo for a more realistic‑looking depth‑of‑field 
effect.

Improved quality when recording in Cinematic mode: When recording videos in 
Cinematic mode on iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Pro, the depth‑of‑field effect is 
more accurate for profile angles and around the edges of hair and glasses.



iPhones that support new battery icon with iOS 16



While some of the features require a specific iPhone due to the processor 
capabilities, Apple has added a new battery icon with iOS 16 beta 5. Just a 
few devices will get this new feature:



• iPhone 13, 13 Pro, and 13 Pro Max

• iPhone 12,

12 Pro, and 12 Pro Max

• iPhone 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max

• iPhone XS and XS Max

• iPhone X



Wrap-up



These are all the features exclusive to newer iPhone models. As you can see, 
many of them work for iPhone XR and iPhone XS users, while just a few camera 
improvements are exclusive to iPhone 13 users.



iOS 16 launches later this fall.
