A brand-new night sky, and settings that tell you what to shoot. • Tonight's Sky — the new home screen shows a live sky you can scrub through time with your finger to see exactly when tonight's light and stars arrive. • Tonight's Recipe — get concrete camera settings (ISO, aperture, shutter) tuned to tonight's moon, clouds, and your own camera and lens. • Widgets & Live Activities — put tonight's photography score and next golden hour on your Home and Lock Screen, with a live golden-hour countdown in the Dynamic Island. • Aurora alerts are back and now use your true geomagnetic location, plus a Kp-based settings ladder. • New photography calculators — ND filter (with timer), timelapse, star-trail planner, moon framing, hyperfocal, depth of field, exposure, and focus stacking. • Field recipe library — offline cheat sheets for Milky Way, aurora, moon, meteors, star trails, and more. • Sharper AR Sky — real camera field-of-view, tilt handling, and one-tap calibration by aligning the Sun or Moon. • A refreshed, darker "instrument panel" look throughout.
