◆Add a waypoint in 'Map'
In addition to the departure point and destination, iOS 16 will finally have the function to set the 'stopover' you want to take a detour. This feature allows for more complex route searches, but a similar feature has been available in Google Maps since 2017.

◆ 'Unsend', 'Reserve', 'Remind', and 'Resend' emails
In iOS 16, within 10 seconds after pressing the 'Send' button of the mail, you will be able to cancel the sending only if the other party is also using iOS 16. In addition, it is possible to reserve mail transmission so that it can be sent at any time, and remember the mail that was postponed with the reminder function. Gmail has an unsend feature since around 2018, and you can choose from 5 seconds, 10 seconds, 20 seconds, and 30 seconds after sending. It also has reminders and scheduled transmission dates.

◆ Automatic transcription
Apple is committed to improving the usability of its products for people with disabilities, and has

released many features such as the ability to detect building doors and the ability to operate Apple Watch by voice or tap. Among these features, iOS 16 will implement `` Live Captions '' that will allow subtitles to be used with any audio content, such as phone calls, video conferencing, social media apps, and conversations with people next to you. Along with Android, products have become more accessible in recent years for people who are deaf or who want to visualize their conversations.

◆ Keyboard haptic feedback
iOS 16 introduces the ability to give vibration feedback when typing. There must be a lot of people who have been looking for a physical response like a feature phone (garakei) for a long time, but it has existed on Android for a long time and was enabled by default on most models.

◆Photo sharing library
iOS 16 will soon have a feature called “ iCloud Shared Photo Library ” available. This is a feature that allows you to select and share photos and videos in iCloud with up to five users, making it easy to view and edit images. However, The Verge wrote, 'Apparently this feature will not be available immediately after the release of iOS 16.'

◆ Always-on display
The iPhone display, which previously did not turn on until you tap the screen or receive a notification, will now turn on all the time. On Android, it was possible to always display the clock and notifications without using the application, but on the iPhone it will be possible to further customize with widgets and images.

◆Fitness app
The fitness app ' Apple Fitness+ ', which was required to use the Apple Watch until now, will now be available to users who do not have an Apple Watch. This makes it possible to count the number of steps and measure a small part of numerical values such as calories burned.

◆ lock screen widget
With iOS 16, you will be able to add up to 4 widgets to your lock screen. Lock screen widgets have been available on Android since Android 4.2, but have been removed in Android 5.0. Of course, you can install widgets using the app, but being able to install widgets with the official function can be a great strength of the iPhone.

◆ Accident detection
iPhone 14 and ' Apple Watch Series 8 ' are equipped with a 'collision detection function' that automatically connects to an emergency call service in the event of a serious car collision. In addition, Google has a ' car accident detection function ' that detects accidents and notifies emergency information services on Pixel 3 and later of its own smartphones.

◆High quality camera
The camera performance of the “iPhone 12” and “iPhone 13” series was only 12 million pixels each, but the “iPhone 14 Pro” and “iPhone 14 Pro Max” have been raised to 48 million pixels. Thanks to the iPhone 14's adoption of a feature called `` pixel binning '' that suppresses noise under low light and improves sensitivity, it is expected to be able to take pictures with less noise even at night.
