Besides those, there are some new 5G updates that aren't mentioned in the list. Sources also say it includes 5G Standalone support, new 5G connectivity for other countries (such as unifi, Yoodo and Yes 5G), and the Apple HomeKit reintroduction. As usual, you can get the new software update from Settings -> General -> Software Update.
