Manage notifications
It is rumored that iOS 16 will drastically improve the way notifications work, but the details of how that will change are still quite vague. Some speculate that notifications in iOS 16 will offer better and more grouping options. Other rumors suggest that there will be improvements with Actionable notifications – notifications that allow users to respond without having to launch the respective app.
Focus Mode improvements
Focus Mode is a feature introduced with iOS 15 that allows users to manage the apps and notifications they want to see in order to focus on a specific task without being distracted from other apps. For example, users can set up a Work Mode that temporarily filters out notifications from apps like ESPN or Tinder. With iOS 16, Apple is expected to introduce more customizations to Focus Mode.

New health features
Multiple reports suggest that some health tracking features will be expanded with iOS 16, specifically enhanced sleep monitoring and medication management tools. According to Gurman, Apple has been developing a medication management tool that allows users to scan their vials into the app. The software will monitor compliance and remind users to take medication.
Car accident detection

Emergency satellite feature

Support equipment
Apple is quite “generous” when it comes to ensuring that new versions of iOS run on older iPhone models. But running new software on old hardware can have its pros and cons. Reports that iOS 16 will not support iPhone 6s and older devices.
