Apple opened its Worldwide Developers Conference on Monday, June 6, which annually brings together developers from its ecosystem to take stock of future software development for the group’s flagship devices.

The main change concerns the redesign of the lock screen. This first entry into Apple’s iPhone interface will offer in-depth personalization possibilities. iPhone users only need to hold their finger on the screen to access multiple customization options including various filters, wallpapers, fonts, colors and widgets to configure as they wish.
For example, it would be possible to integrate a widget showing the progress of a VTC reservation, a mini music player or a selection of the best photos from an iPhone album. Several personalized lock screens can be saved to easily switch from one to another.
