Take Control of iOS 16 and iPadOS 16

Every year, Apple releases new versions of its mobile operating systems. In 2020, it was iOS 14 and iPadOS 14, both of which include tremendous new convenience features and significant revisions to your favorite apps.

As usual, Josh Centers is back with a book on the new operating systems, but this time around, we’re taking a different approach.

Build on everything you already know about using your iPhone or iPad and explore what Apple has changed and added in this update.
