Haptic technology

You can now set an independent volume for alarms in the Clock app.

This new option is in the Settings app under Sounds and Haptics.

This means your alarms and timers no longer have to match your ringtone volume.

iOS 27 adds an all-new extra-large widget size for your home screen, so you can now get full-screen widgets for apps like Music, Photos, Weather, and Calendar.

Yeah.

It honestly had that like haptic experience to it.

Haptic? Haptic.

What does that mean? What does that mean? Like kinetic?

Haptic?

Haptic.

Physical sensation.

Wow.

And so one, we're able to track back to the reason why we have an experience strategy.

And then when you look at things like Sonic and Haptic, the reinforcement that you get of trust is two times greater when you have that Sonic brand there.

And that's not only a return for us, that's a return to merchants more likely to go to our merchant partners.

Think of small businesses and the ability to reinforce that trust with an e-commerce transaction.

Now let's take a look at the other option that fits in sensory alerts.

This is found in Settings, and then we go to Sounds & Haptics.

Perhaps.

We go to Sounds & Haptics, and underneath Hearing, so this of course can depend on, uh, which of your, uh... which of- which version of iOS you have.

But from the Settings app, we scroll down, we get to Sounds & Haptics, and then from here, if we pick an alert type, so Ringtone, and we have it set to Reflection, we can then tap in and make sure that we've got that set to the right one that we're looking for.

Up at the top, there's a Haptics option, and you can set it to Synchronized, which will use the haptic that is tied to the sound, but you can also create a custom vibration.

This is one of my favorite things to do when it comes to having, uh, special contacts.

So if you pick a person and you edit their ringtone or their text tone, you can assign a pattern that is unique to them.
