📦 Unboxing the new iPhone 16 Pro and Apple Watch Ultra 2 all in Black Titanium 📱 Inside the iPhone box, the USB-C charging cable is now laid out in a new way, and when you turn on the iPhone, you'll be reminded of the new button, which, by the way, is called Camera Control instead of Capture Button. ⌚️ The box for the black Apple Watch Ultra 2 has been slightly updated – the box covers and brochure now come in gray cardboard, as does the inside of the box and the compartment where the band is located. @iPhone #iPhone #AppleWatch #unboxing

🖼 The biggest Photos redesign

The biggest-ever update to Photos makes it easier to find and relive special moments. The beautiful, simplified layout puts the library into a unified yet familiar view. New collections like Recent Days, People & Pets, and Trips automatically keep the library organized with on-device intelligence, so users can spend less time searching and more time enjoying their memories. Users can personalize their experience with a customizable layout that reflects what is most important to them and pin favorite collections to keep them easily accessible.

When you first launch the updated Photos app, it seems that a lot of sections have disappeared from it. In fact, there are even more folders and collections » they've just been moved to another location. ▪Missing photo sections Now the photos feed is unified and looks more like a social network. There are no more tabs “Media Library”, “For You”, “Albums” and “Search” at the bottom of the screen. Only the year or month view bar remains. ▪Updated Search The search button has moved to the top right corner, and the menu itself has become more informative. It was possible to search for pictures by tags, year of shooting or some objects earlier, but now the iPhone will prompt you about this possibility. For example, if you enter “Winter 2024” you will get all the pictures for this period. Also you can enter the names of objects, for example, “cat” or “car” to see the corresponding selection. You can also enter the model of your iPhone, and the gallery will display all the photos that were taken with that device. ▪Application settings Previously, all gallery settings were hidden in the Settings. Now some of them are available right in Photos. To access them, tap on your avatar in the top right corner. Most useful: here you can customize the visibility of the Hidden folder and disable some photo and video collections if you don't need them. ▪The appearance settings button has moved downward It is now marked not by three dots, but by an icon with two vertical arrows pointing in different directions. ▪Ability to hide screenshots A useful innovation for those who often take screenshots: now they won't clutter the general feed, you can hide them and return them in the appearance settings menu. @iPhone #iOS #iPhone #apps
