At Apple’s 2016 WWDC, iPhone maker lifted the lid and announced its latest update iOS 10. The operating system includes major updates related to apps, services, and features, which includes Photos, Maps, News, Apple Pay, Control Center, and more.
Let’s take a look to the features unveiled –
1. Enhanced Lockscreen
Craig Federighi initiated the demo with the first update of its intuitive lock screen. The text message, as well as live status updates of apps, can directly be accessed through the lock screen.
2. Siri SDK
Siri would be available for developers now which is the biggest update in history. With this user can directly talk to Siri addressing the in-built apps and it will perform the exact action.
3. Quick Typing Suggestion
Apple is adopting the latest booming technologies and among it, iOS 10 is featured with artificial intelligence which brings quick typing facility. If anyone from your contact is asking for an email address of your another contact, Siri will automatically fetch from your mobile data and pre-fill the email in Quick Type suggestion.
4. Music Makeover
Apple Music’s biggest drawback was about its chaotic design which messed up the navigation. They worked out on this and now iOS 10 contains a simple list with a mostly black, white, and pink color scheme. Also, section-wise navigation is provided “Recently Added,” so you can quickly access new music added to Apple Music.
5. Smart Home App
Getting more serious about Smart Home technology, Apple built an app that supports IoT protocols – Homekit. The app has something exciting to offer for automating your home and light controlling features such as if you say “Good night” the lights will get dim. However, such devices are already there in the market from Samsung.
We’ll see how all that actually plays out when iOS 10 is available.
