Regarding the widgets of the iOS 14 home screen, Federighi told Tech Radar: We knew this was a multi-act project and we knew our next place would be the Lock Screen. We saw a real opportunity to take this area that has really evolved slowly over time, but has never seen such a huge step forward, and to do something very big – but something very Apple and very personal. So, this is an act of love this year “, he added. The challenge for Dye’s design team was to create a lock screen customization system that was both simple and good: From the Design Team’s point of view, our goal was to create something almost editorial and allow the user to create a lock screen that really… ends up looking like a great magazine cover or movie poster, but does it. in a way Let’s hope it’s very simple to create, a lot of fun, even with a lot of automation there, ”Dye said. Dye and Federighi also revealed that the styles suggested for lock screen wallpapers vary depending on the photo: Dye told us that if the system thinks the photo will not look great, it will not recommend it, a point of attention that helps guide the user towards the visual capture of the lock screens. “You get something much more exciting than just putting a filter over the photo,” Federighi added. The history of Tech Radar also covers the technology based on machine learning that allows iOS 16 to segment your photos so that parts can overlap with time, focus functions and more. There are many interesting ideas here from Federighi and Dye that are worth digging into if you are interested in the design and the way it is applied from a mechanical point of view.
