While iOS 16 is bringing with it a lot of different changes and new additions, one of the biggest focal points for Apple is the Lock Screen.

At face value, it's all about giving the user even more easily digestible information.
Physical, the series on Apple TV+ starring Rose Byrne, is one of the more popular shows on the streaming service.
