WWDC 2016: Apple announces iOS 10 - here are the big changes coming to YOUR iPhone
Apple has already revealed big software changes for its Apple Watch and Macbook products - but it's the iPhone updates that will affect the most people.
Officially announcing iOS 10 at the giant developer's conference , the tech company's top executives ran through 10 main features of the new system.
The first of which is a change in the overall user interface. From the lock screen to the Control Centre, Apple has tweaked and changed the look to take advantage of things like 3D Touch on the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus.
The design of iOS has remained pretty constant since iOS 7 was introduced a few years ago and Apple hasn't dramatically altered anything - but there are things like new widgets in the Today view
Secondly, Siri has been opened up to developers. They will be able to
build new things for the virtual voice assitant. This has a lot of
potential to make the voice features even more integral to controlling
third-party apps.
the third update also involved Siri - it has been further integrated into the keyboard so it can help suggest extra information when you're jabbing out a message. We're not sure how it'll actually work in practice but it shows the company's commitment to voice control.
Photos became the fourth on the list and Apple revealed a new feature called "Memories" that creates content - like slideshows put to music - automatically.
Apple has also bolstered the face recognition capability so your iPhone will scan through your pictures and tag them for you. Useful or creepy? You be the judge.
Number five is Maps and number six is Music. The former has a new look and more options for developers to add extensions - like paying for an Uber ride.
The latter has also been given a makeover and will now show you lyrics to songs as you play them.
The seventh feature is News - again with a slightly new design. It also adds in breaking news notifications.
The eighth change involves Apple's HomeKit app - which will now come in the place of a Home app preinstalled on your iPhone.
In a nutshell it's Apple's movement into the so-called Internet of Things - letting you control third-party appliances in your house from your iPhone. It's still in its infancy but, this being a developer's conference, will likely gain plenty of support.
Apple's ninth big feature of iOS 10 are changes to phone calls themselves. There's going to be caller ID on your iPhone that's better at detecting spam calls.
Apple finished its presentation on iOS 10 be reiterating the security features of its operating system.
All the communication features on the new software include end-to-end encryption to help keep private information away from hackers. And, presumably, to stop Apple having another dust-up with the FBI .
