CTOnews.com, October 5 (Xinhua)-- Apple today launched a developer preview version of iOS 16.1 Beta 4 update (build number: 20B5064c) to iPhone users, seven days after its last release.

In the latest iOS 16.1 beta, Apple adjusted the design of the Smart Island on the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max to make it more visible in a dark background. When using dark wallpaper or activating a dark interface in dark mode, when the screen darkens or the smart island is in active use, the outside of the smart island will have a light gray border.

CTOnews.com learned that on the light-colored wallpaper where the smart island outline is already visible, the border does not appear and disappears when iPhone unlocks or does not use the smart island. If the user plays music or uses an application that displays content on Smart Island, the border will be displayed again.

The wrong adaptive permeable mode switch has been removed from the iOS 16.1 Beta 4 beta, which was added for the original AirPods Pro and AirPods Max in previous beta versions.

IOS 16.1 introduces support for "real-time activities", an interactive notification feature that allows users to keep an eye on what's happening in real time from the lock screen, and on iPhone 14 Pro is a smart island.

Real-time activities are not currently available because developers still need to update their applications to add support, but it will be available when iOS 16.1 is released. Developers can visit ActivityKit API and start getting ready for their applications.

The update also introduces a new clean energy charging feature in the United States, which is designed to selectively charge electricity with low carbon emissions, and lays the foundation for Matter, a new smart home standard that Apple plans to support this fall.

Matter will allow interoperability between smart devices from different companies, which Apple, Google, Samsung, Amazon and others are working to support.

During the beta, Apple adjusted the design of the battery status bar icon to add a visual indication of the charging level. It also changed the battery font, updated the lock screen charge indicator, and fixed copy and paste errors.

Other new features in the update include the removable Apple Wallet app, changes to the lock screen customization interface, and more.
