Apple is reportedly unlikely to bring the health app to iPad and Mac.

Health information including heart rate data and more can be found in the Health app.

Those hoping for an iPad or Mac Health app are likely to be disappointed this year.

This week, we saw a very cool concept of what iOS 16 could be from Nicholas Ghigo. In this concept video, he showcases customizable buttons on the Lock Screen, interactive widgets, a redesigned Control Center, Always On display, multiple timers, and more. A lot of these features are things that I’m hoping to see in iOS 16 myself, so it looks like I’m not the only one out here.

While my biggest customization request was for more streamlined theming and icon customization, I would love to be able to reconfigure the shortcuts on the Lock Screen too. Though I’m not sure if …
