Default iOS 10

This is the first time I haven't used the beta so I'm looking forward to 6pm.

iPhone 5 and up.

Not sure if Watch OS3 is out at the same time but I would think so.

Back up to iTunes first if at all possible.

I will be down the gym when it all goes download city so I shall wait until the madness has died down and grab them later
Which usually means waiting until tomorrow as Apple servers will be running at full tilt !
Let's hope they have put an extra dollar in the meter

That's a good result. It should be subtle not striking. Always take an available update.

I think you'll find quite a few new things including the ability to delete stock apps. Which is good timing it seems.

Well I'm shocked, 10 posts in and no sign of Toffee Pie telling everyone how all the new features in iOS are things Android had years ago.

dont worry, he will be along soon linking to the bbc website about iphone users having their phones bricked as stupidly they tried to update it over the air with 1.1GB over 3/4G
(though Apple fixed the issue within a few hours that wont be relevant of course )

Did mine last night, all good and been playing with the new features.
One little tip is bubble effects in iMessage for those users who are iphone 5/c/s and iphone 6.
If you dont have 3D touch then the new bubble effects will not work if you have REDUCE MOTION turned on.
Turn it off and you will find the long press on bubble effects now works

The filter by unread is handy.

by contrast the threading in mail is appalling

First impressions :
1. Lock screen, notifications and no accidental home screen dismiss is a godsend
2. swipe from left for notifications is great, very detailed and swipe from right for camera is soooooo much quicker and easier than the old method
3. Threading in mail is annoying and was the first to go ( just like conversation mode which I hate) but the unread action is good.
4. iMessage finally gets the update it has needed for ages. Some are gimmicky and I wont use, some are a lot more useful ( like automatic emoji )
5. shared editing in Notes is useful
6.Contacts reordering with details is far better

I love threading on the desktop and so far love it on iOS. Marmite.

This may have been in the last update and I missed it, but super handy.

Just read on Mailonline that it's supposedly bricking some devices? Is it worth taking the chance on the upgrade?

the ability to delete apps is astounding, must say i am gobsmacked by how far Apple have come, soon there will be the ability to open several apps at once and seamlessly switch between them.

This is why Apple are useless and how far behind the times they are, when Fanboys see OLED displays they will explode with excitement next year.

iOS 10 now installed on more devices that Android Nougat and Marshmallow combined. Which isn't bad considering that 80% of users are on Android.

The Note series can multitask 2 apps at once, with several more running in the background, probably too much for iOS. All them 'new' features in iOS10 are nothing new to most people in the 21st century.

There is a reason why the cpu scores on the Apple devices are so high, its partly due to the smaller displays and again due to the fact the OS is much more basic.

now with everyone up to speed on iOS10 it means people will have plenty fun deleting apps.

You might remember this video, it's all about which device is better at multitasking, now do bear in mind that the 7 will spank the 6s so your beloved device slips further down the ranking.

Got a new love/hate with Breathe, I'm going along with it at the minute as it does feel good to take a minute out. Same with being told to stand.
