apples are usually in season in September which is maybe why Apple the tech company has made September releases of new versions of iOS a bit of a tradition over the last few years and things we're no different this year with the release of iOS 10 alongside the new iPhone 7 which you can learn more about here but with iOS 10 supporting iPhone and iPad models all the way back to the iPhone 5 and the fourth gen iPad from 2012 you don't have to shell out tons of new money on a brand new phone to get it but is it worth getting excited over anyway well let's start with the way you get into your phone in the first place gone are the days of slide to unlock as now you either have to press the home button or on iphone 6s and newer just lift the phone up to wake the screen which could be useful if your arms are full and it would be difficult to try to manipulate the phone itself once you're in you might find it a little easier to customize what's on your homescreen I mean they still don't allow you to place app icons wherever you want for some reason but they finally introduced the ability to hide some of the preloaded stuff you never use that you still can't uninstall them completely to save space on your phone a little annoying if you're trying to remove GarageBand iBooks or the stocks app because your portfolio consists of 10 bucks and some oddly colored pocket land but one thing you probably will be using a fair amount is the messages app which not only can animate your own handwriting for a personal touch but can now also show video and image previews from a number of different apps it can auto suggest in different languages if you routinely type in multiple languages and it can convert words to emoji on the fly you can even make your outgoing messages stay obscured on your recipient screen until they manually swipe them if you're sending a private message now let's talk notifications you no longer have to leave the homescreen to interact with your notifications many of them now support 3d touch interactions and you can now directly reply to text messages without having to open a new window or even unlock your phone then and this is cool once you're done you can get rid of all your notifications at once if you have a 3d touch enabled device a welcome addition for long time iOS users who know the pain of manually scrolling through ancient SMS messages to mark them all as read moving on to actually using apps here you'll find some more useful enhancements the default phone app can now transcribe your voicemails without a third party service hey boss is John um listen we're going to need an order of about 10,000 hula hoops if you don't have time to listen to them and can also check incoming calls against a registry of known spammers so you'll know if that ring is really someone trying to steal your credit card number in exchange for a vacation but it isn't just the default apps that offer more functionality perhaps even more importantly iOS 10 offers more robust support for certain features of the hardware in third-party apps 3d touch now supports more applications and you can now shoot high-resolution images in RAW format in supported apps if you'd like to work with them later in your favorite image editing program on your computer Siri also plays more nicely with non apple programs you can tell her to call you a ride through over or get her to interact with your fitness app because you're just too tired after all those uh bent presses to lift up your phone and speaking of going to the gym iOS 10 has built-in water detection for iPhone 6s and later to warn you if you need to let your phone dry out perfect even if you didn't go to the gym and you just like keeping your iPhone dangerously close to your big gulp no word yet though on whether any updates will automatically get Siri to shame you for being too sedentary speaking of shame it would be a shame if you when to build yourself a awesome
