1. Press and Hold over the Lock Screen until this screen appears. You need to be the person who can unlock the phone for this to work because when you press and hold, the phone automatically authenticates to unlock, and only then it shows this. On this screen, tap on the option called Customize at the bottom of the screen which takes you to edit the lock screen.
   
2. In the Customize screen, you will get options to actually see the different sections was which could be actually edited. Tap on the section where the time is displayed. (where it says 7:50 in my case on the screenshot below)
   
3. As soon as you tap on the time section, you will see this popup which is called Font & Colour. Here you will see the options to change the Font and also the color of the text you see on the screen as you can see below in the screenshot.
   
4. So, tap on the font that you want to apply for the time and date text displayed on the lock screen of the iPhone.
5. Once you are done, tap on the Done button at the top right corner of the screen and the font you selected will be applied to the lock screen you chose to customize.

This is how you can change the clock font on the home screen in the iOS-installed iPhones. It’s super easy to use and can be changed whenever you want. There is no limit as to how many times you can actually do these changes.

In addition to these font and color changes, there is a new section called tiny widgets where there are dedicated widgets like Fitness, battery, news, Apple Home and so much more. I can see the third-party developers coming up with so many widgets to make context a little bit more accessible from outside the apps.

I, personally think that Apple has been very ingenious about how they perceive the customization in such a way that the customization is kept under a bracket where everything still looks okay and not so crazy. Do you think it would be a great way to actually let users do whatever they want despite how crazy or stupid it looks? Do let us know in the comments below.
