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.
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.
