Apple Pay Later
Apple Pay Later joins the ranks of other “buy now, pay later” providers like Affirm and Klarna, which are at the forefront of this recent modern payments trend. Apple, on the other hand, assures that platform will be “seamless and reliable,” and will integrate with Apple Wallet at no cost.
Apple Card Savings Account
With the Apple Card Savings Account, you can conveniently save Daily Cash rewards with hassle-free automatic deposits. With integration with Apple Wallet, you can easily track your account growth and balance, and even make convenient deposits from a connected bank account.
Next-generation CarPlay

This cutting-edge technology will revolutionize in- car, enabling multi-screen support and providing a seamless connection to your car's hardware.

Apple Music Classical
While this feature wasn't announced for iOS 16, Apple had previously said it would be available in 2022. Unfortunately, that timeline has passed and the feature is no longer available. In 2021, Apple acquired streaming Primephonic and quickly removed it from the App Store, integrating its content into its own Music app.
Web push notifications
While Safari web notifications have been readily available on Macs for several years now, support has yet to be added to iPhones and iPads. Jen Simmons , an Apple Evangelist on the company’s Web Developer Experience team , teased the feature in a post on Mastodon. Apple has announced that support for web notifications on iPhone and iPadOS will arrive in 2023. So far, iOS 16 betas have yet to include the feature.
New Home architecture
In October, Apple introduced iOS 16.2 with an advanced opt-in architecture for HomeKit to improve the performance and reliability of your home accessories. As it turned out, the reality was very different from what was expected – instead of improving the user experience, the new architecture had a seriously detrimental impact on many who chose to use it.
