Signing off…

While I am quite pleased with iOS 16 and its legend of features including the ability to automatically bypass CAPTCHAs, lock photos with Face ID, shield private notes with a passcode/Face ID, and recover deleted messages, it’s the full-on Lock Screen customization that has set the stage on fire for me. The options to customize clock style, shuffle photos on Lock Screen, and automatically switch Lock Screen based on time and location are great.
