Further, there is a new AirPods case imagery that apparently reveals a design change and the presence of Qi standard-based wireless charging. Apple has also added tweaks such as a 'Share Across Devices' toggle in the Screen Time section and a smaller text for the Clear All Notifications button to clear all the notifications. There are additionally new connecting and disconnecting tones for FaceTime.

The latest iOS developer beta also reveals new HomePod capabilities. These capabilities are designed to let s send and read messages, add reminders, create notes, and make phone calls using HomePod will be available sometime in future through the 'Personal Requests' feature. A HomePod OS private beta last week suggested the availability of voice call through Apple's smart speaker.
