This week, Apple holds the annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC). Here, Apple shows off their hopes, dreams and new gadgets for the upcoming year. Apple is excited about iOS 10, introducing iOS 10 goodies.
Apple’s latest operating system should be available this fall. Apple promises many upgrades. One is Apple Messenger. There have been many gripes about Apple Messenger. But these messages have intelligent Siri responses. This messenger will let you watch You Tube videos and send links within messages. Website links will look better. Emojis will be bigger and have more features. The iPhone lock screen will be interactive. There’s a new feature called Rise to Wake. This turns on your phone whenever you lift it up. If you have an iPhone 6s or 6s Plus, you can interact with notifications through the lock screen. With photos, iOS 10 performs scene and object recognition. If you look for a certain thing in a certain city, the app will give you photos of those items. Siri will send messages through through third party apps like WhatsApp. We all remember what a fiasco Apple Maps was back in 2012. They have made tremendous improvements since then. With iOS 10, you’ll get the best routes for normal routes. The new software comes with Home, a hub for all your devices and apps.
I remember this commercial in which the people could only communicate with each other through emojis. With what I’m reading, iOS 10 could help people do just that. Nonetheless, I’m the Rise to Wake app could be a waste of time. I can turn on my phone with the push of a button. Lifting it a phone will only cut time by a fraction of a second. But I am very impressed by Apple Maps. I look forward to seeing how iOS 10 can enhance Apple Maps. I doubt Apple Maps will ever be as good as Google. But it’s nice to see Apple improve in this area. What are your feelings about iOS 10?
