Thanks, but I only see an option to change the wallpaper, and they all look terrible. Is that it or can I select clock fonts? Sorry if I am being dim.
Got a tip for us?

Many routers have the ability to define a separate guest wifi network. If people only need internet access and not actual access to your internal network, that’s the way to go.
They've always been able to do that. It's just slightly easier now.
Just touch the "time on your iphone" and a menu will appear with all the clock fonts, then select one. I agree, some of those wallpapers are for little children, quite bad.
Thanks - it seems you have to add new wallpaper and then you can edit the clock font (limited options indeed)! I was trying to edit my current homescreen/wallpaper or whatever I should be calling it. Thanks for the help 👍
Back on the first iPhones, I do remember accidentally ending calls with the side button. Not any specific one but like burning one's hand as a child, it was enough to make me forever terrified of the lock button during a call.
On recent phones I've tested it with less important calls, and I think it only happens when you're actually at the active call screen. If you minimize the call and lock at the home screen it won't drop it.
But, I have NEVER wanted to end a call this way so to finally end my trepidation I immediately turned this on. Truly a hidden gem, and literally the only item on the list I in fact did not know about.
One doesn’t have to be driving to be connected to CarPlay.
For example, I often sit in my car at the beach, listening to music and reading while my dog barks at the birds. I also go to the drive-in very often, where I’m sitting in a parked car with the engine off, CarPlay active, for two hours.
Also, passengers exist.
Automatic CarPlay screenshots are really annoying.
Contacts finally have groups that you can edit! You can now add a contact to a group just like on macOS! Finally. Only taken 16 or so years. Just need Smart Albums in Photos, Smart Folders in Mail etc would be good now
I could be wrong but I think you can sort the playlist in itunes on a mac or PC for a smart playlist and then that change will reflect in ios.
My biggest annoyance is I've made branching playlist in itunes like 3+ star rated songs, then 3+star rated Rock music, hip hop etc then specific artist under the genres and unfortunately you can only play these at the artist level in ios.
It's bad enough we can't create smart playist in at least ipad os but even worse we can't use them the same way.
I like the Pause charging to prolong battery life. You can always change a new battery in two years or more but rather not.
Yes, you can try sorting in iTunes and the new sorting transfers to the device, but if you have Apple Music this is hit or miss. But if you don't use Apple Music and sync to iTunes, yes sorting in iTunes transfers to the device.I could be wrong but I think you can sort the playlist in itunes on a mac or PC for a smart playlist and then that change will reflect in ios.

If you use Apple Music and make your own playlists (I do) I have found that if you make a Smart playlist in iTunes which is based on the content of other playlists, then the smart playlist won't show up on the device -- "Playlist Is ..." criteria breaks Apple Music syncing across devices.
So if you have a Smart playlist that depends on another, change the Smart playlist to have its own criteria such that it does not depend on another playlist.
Where has the volume slide in Lock Screen went when playing music/podcast 😭
Ya I get how to do it. Just sucks a little that I have to do it but somewhat of an easy enough fix. But you may have pushed me to actually change them all one day.
.You're right. The problem now, though, is the sheer volume of items that we have connecting to wifi now. That's why I started using my Guest network for all my iot devices, because there is no way in hell i'm going to reconfigure all those devices by changing the password. Unfortunately, it's almost as bad for the primary network, with tablets, phones, laptops, and some misc. things connected.
There's gotta be a better way! (And there is, Kevin!)
I’ve NEVER wanted to use the lock button for hanging up a call - this one is a godsend for me! Used to nap on the phone with my girlfriend and I’d often accidentally hang up the phone either trying to turn the screen off, or just moving the phone!
Phone call from Susie…
“Hey Siri, answer call”
“Hey Susie, hang on a second, got my hands full”
Siri: “Ok, ending the call”
Battery Percentage indicator - only available on ”some iPhones”. Not avail on XR? Whhhyyyyyy when it’s available in Control Center?
This is great, but they need to extend this to family accounts sharing icloud space. My wife and I airdrop each other a ton of photos, so our icloud storage is full of duplicates. It would be cool if Apple was somehow able to match them by hash, delete the dupe to save space, but have the photo still appear in both of our accounts.
This is a scenario where a guest network would make more sense. I get where you’re coming from, but you’re describing a very amateur and insecure way of sharing a password vs. a secure method of authenticating and viewing a password.
I turned it off anyways. The battery shows as full until it hits a certain percent. Having a filled battery indicator when I’m sitting at 50% doesn’t sit right with me.
