OS 10 was announced at WWC in June, with an immediate developer beta
release, followed by a public beta release in July. The first completed
release will be available to download from 13 September.Here we round up
all of the latest news and rumors about Apple’s newest mobile OS and
break down its key features.
- iOS 10 will be released on 13 September
- Developer preview and public beta available now
- It has 10 key features revamped, with the user experience front of mind
- Much of the functionality has been opened up to developers
Beta users of iOS 10 can now get their hands on the final version of the
operating system.Apple has released the golden master (GM) to users on
its Beta program, less than a week before the official release ends up
in the hands of consumers.The GM build should be the same software that
will download to user’s Mac, barring any last minute critical flaws.
That version will be available from 13 September.To get your hands on
this version you need to sign up to Apple’s beta testing program to
receive the OS as an over-the-air update.
iOS 10 will be available to download from 13 September,
Apple has announced. The new OS will also come pre-loaded on the iPhone
7 and iPhone 7 Plus, which are available themselves for pre-order on 9
September and hit shelves one week later on 16 September.
Today could finally be the day the world gets to
experience a full, finished version of iOS 10. The operating system is
expected to launch alongside the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, both of
which should make their debut at Apple's Special Event in San Francisco,
which starts at 6.00pm UK time.At this point, the features of the new
operating system are largely established but this will be the first time people get to experience the new OS on
their own devices as a stable release.To find out iOS 10's general
release date, as well as all the news about the iPhone 7, Apple Watch 2
and macOS Sierra,Despite the final version not yet being released, iOS 10 has already
been jail broken.Luca Todesco, also known as qwerty oruiop, has uploaded a
video
showing a jailbreak of iOS 10 Beta 8. The jailbreak is known as yaluX
and it works on iOS devices with an A7 and higher processor.According to
a report by
iClarified,
this is not the first jailbreak of iOS 10, as Pangu Team and iH8Sn0w
have also demoed their jailbreaks too.It is not known if the jailbreak
is publicly available but the publication speculated that this would be
released shortly after the operating system becomes available.
Just days after the release of the fourth Developer
Beta, Apple has seeded Developer Beta 5 and Public Beta 4 within hours
of each other. As with previous rounds, Beta 5 is a set of updates,
rather than a single release for iOS 10 and applies to
macOS Sierra,
watchOS 3 and
tvOS 10
as well.For iOS Developer Beta 5, Apple has introduced a number of new
features for iPad and iPhone, the most notable of which are a
significant overhaul of the Music app, with Control Center, Notification
Center and Lock Screen all receiving a refresh as well.
According to 9to5Mac,
these changes include a new input icon in Apple Music and the rest of
the iOS 10 interface, darker backgrounds for third-party widgets in the
Notification Center (Apple's own widgets still have a translucent white
background), and the locking sound for the device sounds "kind of like a
door closing".The release of iOS Developer Beta 5 is somewhat ahead of
schedule, arriving just one week after the release of Developer Beta 4,
whereas Apple normally leaves two weeks between releases. Public Beta 4
is even further ahead of schedule, in relative terms, arriving just a
few hours after Developer Beta 5, rather than a full day.iOS 10 is
expected to launch in its final form in September, alongside the
iPhone 7.With anticipation for the
iPhone 7
reaching fever pitch ahead of its September release date, plenty of
people will be queuing to buy Apple’s new flagship device as soon as it
hits the shops.But what about those of us who are stuck on older
versions of the iPhone, or indeed the iPad? Will we still be able to
take advantage of some of the smartphone’s new features?The answer is
yes if you’ve got a device that will support iOS 10, the latest
operating system that will run on the iPhone 7.While plenty of the
iPhone 7’s expected benefits come from the hardware itself (such as the
wireless headphones and improved battery life), many others come from
iOS 10.The OS includes 100 new emojis (currently available in its
developer preview) and a much smarter Siri, as well as the ability to
use a stylus or even your finger to hand write messages to your
friends.There’s just one catch – you must have a compatible device. With
operating systems becoming far chunkier and advanced, your phone must
have the memory to run the OS and the hardware to support it.
