The platform updates include up to 30% faster app launch speeds on iPhone and iPad, alongside faster AirDrop transfer speeds.

New parental controls feature age-based setup options, website approval requests in Safari, and automatic detection to block violent content in shared media.

The Screen Time feature was updated with new daily app limits, while the Health app added cycle tracking support for perimenopause and menopause.

Apple Intelligence capabilities rolled out alongside the updates, with Siri AI launching in beta for English-language users on supported devices.
