Performance improvements

Performance improvements are significant across devices. On iPhone and iPad, apps launch up to 30 percent faster, photos load up to 70 percent faster after being taken, and AirDrop transfers are up to 80 percent faster. On iPad, browsing files and transferring them to an external USB drive is now up to 5x faster, with additional improvements to closing, switching, and dragging windows while multitasking. On Mac, everyday tasks feel extra snappy and responsive, with quicker AirDrop transfers, faster iCloud Photos uploads, and smoother swiping between spaces and Mission Control. On Apple Watch, music playback is faster. Apple Vision Pro starts and connects to Wi-Fi up to 3x faster.

Connectivity enhancements

In Messages, sending large photos and videos in low-bandwidth situations no longer prevents subsequent texts from going through. On Mac, users experience faster network file browsing.

Search improvements

Search improvements across iPhone, iPad, and Mac make Spotlight, Photos, and Mail search more stable, efficient, and comprehensive. Mail includes a completely new ranking system that surfaces more relevant results in Top Hits.
