- A built‑in Transfer to Android tool in Settings enables moving photos, messages, notes, apps, passwords and phone numbers to an Android device, excluding health data, protected items and Bluetooth pairings.
- EU‑focused openness features include notification forwarding to third‑party wearables and AirPods‑style proximity pairing for accessories, with availability limited to the European Union and some elements arriving in stages.
- A new Limit Precise Location option reduces how accurately cellular networks can locate a device, working only on Apple C1/C1X‑modem hardware and initially on Boost Mobile (US), EE and BT (UK), Telekom (Germany), and AIS and True (Thailand).
- Apple fixed dozens of security issues, including a dyld vulnerability linked to an extremely sophisticated attack, while some users reported unusually large download sizes for the update.
