Apple has released the highly anticipated iOS 16.3 version. However, iPhones have gained many new features. On the other hand, many problems that drove users crazy, such as horizontal lines on the iPhone 14, have been resolved.
What Does the New iOS Version Offer to Users?
The innovation that came to the fore with the new update was the security section. With this feature, when you try to sign in to your Apple ID from a different device, a security key will now be requested in addition to two-step verification.
