If you own aniPhone 12,iPhone 12 mini,iPhone 12 ProoriPhone 12 Pro Maxyou’ll find the updated software makes your smartphone compatible with the newMagSafe battery packfrom the company.

The other bigger upgrade is the ability to combine credit limits within its Apple Card Family service. You can also now share a co-owned account with an existing Apple Card user, which is a small change but important for some people.

Other tweaks from Apple include air quality information for an extended list of countries, including Canada, France and Italy. Plus, a new tweak to the podcasts app allows you to only view your followed shows rather than seeing them all in one place.

Finally, the Home app now has the ability to manage timers on yourHomePod. It’s baffling that this wasn’t already an option before in the Home app on your iPhone, but this update will make using your HomePod’s timers easier than ever.

Other changes include some bug fixes around your iPhone, including changes toApple Musicon some devices.
