Compare with
verändert vs neu
new
'neu' and 'verändert' can both mean that something is no longer the way it was before. 'neu' often emphasizes the result: now there is a different form, a different rule, or a different situation. 'verändert' emphasizes the process or the comparison with earlier more strongly: something has remained the same thing, but it looks different or works differently. If something has been completely replaced, 'neu' fits better. If the same thing has been adjusted, 'verändert' sounds more precise.
