What is new in iOS 10.0.1 features

That brings Apple's new iOS 10


iOS 10 is finally here. Although the allegedly largest iOS update provides no sensations, but many useful improvements.

What is new in iOS 10.0.1 features


Caveat: sorted as with all new iOS generation Apple older devices, which no longer can install the new version of iOS. Devices for iOS 10 is available, obtain the update either via iTunes or the software update iOS. The following hardware is compatible:


  • The iPhone 4S, which operates currently still under iOS 9.3, does not receive an update. Also all older devices are no longer there. All recent iPhone models, so from the iPhone 5, iOS can invite 10th Also, the iPhone 5C, 5S, iPhone 6/6 Plus, iPhone 6S / 6S Plus are. And of course, it runs already preinstalled on the latest addition, the iPhone 7. All iPad models from the iPad 4, including iPad Mini 2/3/4 iPad Air / Air 2, iPad Pro / Pro 9.7, iOS can 10 invite.
  • iPod touch 6th generation gets the new iOS, older models remain outside.

iOS 10: what's new?


The biggest change: The lock screen

After setting up of the first iOS 10 contrast to iOS is already 9 visible: the lock screen. He mutates from sideshow to a sort of new home screen. This begins with the appearance: The clock shows the system in thicker font than iOS 9 to which notification messages for new messages, e-mails and appointments are clarified. In addition, can be now without unlock the device a lot of things done. appears on the iPhone 6S include a fixed pressure on a notification a submenu with various options. Above this event invitations can accept or delete emails. Incomprehensible: On devices without 3D touch technology, so all current iPads, and all iPhones up to version 6 and on the iPod touch, there is no such possibility of interaction! We can only hope that Apple still reworked. For even more innovation is the widget index: A Swipe right on the lock screen will list the first time all boxes clearly among themselves, depending on App Quick actions are also possible here. Similarly, one also has expanded the Control Center (wiping from below) so that it can be about smart home devices like the Philips Hue lamps control on the fly. Also new: A mop left in the Lock Screen starts the camera. Incidentally, even the always been accustomed wiper switch to unlock has disappeared; instead it now by pressing the Home button.


Apple Keynote: All about iPhone 7 & Co.


Surprise: Apple opens

Under iOS 10 Apple opens foreign developers for the first time system areas. Thus Apps sound on demand into the phone function or allow a deeper remote control by Siri. So far, but it is lacking in apps that take advantage of the new opportunities. Interesting for German users would in particular be able to set up WhatsApp as a service in the phone app or take SMS WhatsApp messages to completely customize freehand with Siri. Particularly striking for developers is also the free kernel, i.e. the open heart of the system. For the first time in the history of iOS developers and security professionals can access without detours on the system inside and find potential vulnerabilities quickly. Opposite TechCrunch says Apple that is not sensitive data would be included and they had abolished in favor of speed the encryption. It will be exciting if that might even affect new jailbreaks has - although certainly have lost their appeal over the years partly.

 


Work better with mail and keyboard

Many changes have been made in the email app. So now, the system assigns the entire email history of a conversation similar to the browser version of Gmail in immediate succession away to. This is not necessarily initially clear, because one finds the individual emails only through accurate scrolling. In addition, the tap always leads to the answers button to answer to the last mail. The trick: To reply to a response from the midst of the email course, you have to push this email only gently to the left. Only then appear symbols for answers and deleting that specifically refer only to this email. Practically, however, the new filter options and the new keyboard. A treat for all those who frequently mix in writing within a single sentence or text criteria in a number of languages: The iOS keyboard is multilingual iOS 10. So the program corrected English words in German texts correctly, without having to switch between the two languages. A similar feature is already offering the smartphone BlackBerry Priv. In addition to the keyboard - like Cortana - offer more capabilities of a personal assistant. Thus, the keyboard detects chatting when making arrangements for an appointment and automatically suggests a calendar entry. In practice, this function but not noticed until now.

New iOS feature: Now off to bed!

The alarm in the iPhone everyone knows. But a sleep memory? Thus there was in most adult humans, most recently in childhood - by parents. Apple brings them back now and although hidden in the Clock app in iOS 10: After activating the new "Bedtime" provides iOS 10 the user to the desired memory some questions about his usual sleeping habits - music, pre-warning, et cetera. Then there are two alarm signals a day: once at bedtime, the second to wake up. And iOS yet one has learned 10 from parents: control. "Make sure that the bars in the sleep log extend uniformly by you going every day at the same time to go to bed and wake up." Yes, Mama! Only the memory to the brushing, the Apple has somehow forgotten...

Apple Cards: coffee break instead of offline mode

The maps app Apple has improved. But the most important feature is still missing: Unlike Microsoft itself cards do not download in advance via WLAN for offline use map app or (with restrictions) on Google Maps. Also an active TCP congestion avoidance is so far probably not installed. Practical: For current maps app, the program shows by finger swipe from bottom to top suggestions that match the current location or situation. Based on habits and locations, showing the maps app about during commute info to expected remaining trip time to work. It also makes suggestions to local restaurants. It calculates a Map app, such as the arrival would change by a stopover in.

Colorful, colorful, iMessage

Especially on a teenager directs the iMessage. This allows simple messages with colorful pictures, funny emoji, small animations, decorate around with fireworks and other effects. Even its own app store for iMessage apps around for fun photo effects or popular especially in Asia Sticker effects to come. But everyday use is especially the integration of Emoji icons that automatically suggests the program while typing - they can be transferred with a tap in the message.

Addition for iPads: Two-window mode

Who uses the iPad to work or even to research when booking travel, often missed the opportunity side by side view two browser windows on the display. With iOS 10 that is possible - you just need to know how: with finger Man pulling a not currently open tab to the right of the display side, even the screen is divided and the desired tab appears next to the currently open page. touch on iPhones or the iPod does not work


Apple promises privacy

Many new features in iOS 10 presuppose that the system learns information about the user, his preferences, habits and whereabouts. Tim Cook, therefore, stressed at the thought of how seriously you take the issue of privacy. So was for all communication by default the end-to-end encryption enabled. Moreover, you have not made any data to collect profiles - a dig at Google.

iOS 10 rotating advertising spies from the juice

Networks try especially built-in tracker free apps a user to recognize and track to foist him relevant ads. For some time now apps can officially use at least only the Ad ID for recognition of users. Under iOS 9 can be selected by the user though, that he does not want any ad tracking - but apparently the seller did not keep always in mind. As a corresponding unwinding Shrouded document from Apple reveals iOS are now 10 after activation of the "no ad tracking" option no longer usable information to the outside, but only a number with many zeros.

Mac and iPhone grow together

Unlike Microsoft Apple continues to maintain separate operating systems for computers, mobile devices, watches and Apple TV. But with iOS 10 and the new Mac OS for Mac computers grow iOS devices and Macs closer together: Once the owners and support of Apple Watch approaches his computer, the Mac can unlock it. And iOS devices and Macs exchange on request - an active network connection - content such as text and images on the clipboard via Copy and Paste from. Apple Pay transactions on desktop browsers default user via fingerprint scanner free in iPhone.

iOS 10 already in the test

The latest beta of iOS10 was already tidy - no wonder, because that was finally already the final version. The pace is good, works on the iPhone 6S Plus to use some of them even more fluid than in iOS 9. On an older iPhone 6 Plus on the other hand you have to go and take back some waiting time into account, where there also is no iOS 9 rocket. The problems of the first beta versions, when parted by app now and then with a black screen are fixed. Nevertheless, is not entirely ruled out that 10 still can be problems with the final version of iOS. In the past, such as the alarm clock or the interaction with certain mobile networks from time to time made problems for new iOS versions.

Conclusion: iOS 10

No, Apple: The biggest iOS update that ever, iOS is not the 10th But already the Beta showed beside some gimmicks like colorful stickers iMessage many practical innovations. In addition one uses artificial intelligence and voice control more. Wrapped one may be, as developers take advantage of the new opportunities in the future. For owners of devices from iPhone 6 is currently nothing to prevent the move - unless you like the new features do not.
