The update includes many new features and changes, including Apple's new Journal app, support for spatial video recording on iPhone 15 Pro models, and a Translate option for the Action button on iPhone 15 Pro models.

Apple is also adding several new functions to existing apps and services, such as the ability for Apple Music subscribers to collaborate on playlists, an iMessage Contact Key Verification security option for high-profile individuals, additional Weather and Clock widgets, and more.
