Apple Announced iOS 10 For iPhones And iPads

Quote:

Better Siri, Photos, and Music, while Maps and Messages are open to developers. There will be a public beta available in July, and it will be a free upgrade to all compatible devices this fall. There will also be a developer preview available today. Apple made the announcement at its WWDC keynote. iOS 10 has a redesigned control center with interactive notifications and improvements to widgets (such as those that show calendar and weather information). 3D Touch can now do more: for example, you can press your screen to clear all notifications at once. Siri is getting improvements, with the ability to book rides on services like Uber and Lyft, start and pause workouts, and make payments to send money to friends with Square Cash and other services. Siri will be more intelligent in messaging. For example, if a friend asks for the contact information of another friend, Siri can automatically provide the contact. Siri can also pull up calendar availability in message threads and let you do multilingual typing without switching the keyboard language. Apple also promised more intelligent photo management, including facial recognition technology to identify people in photos. The phone and tablet photo tools will help users sort photos by what's in them, such as specific people or objects (like a horse or mountain). Photos can also be sorted by automatically generated topics, like "on the water" or "at the beach." A new "memories" feed in the Photos app will take advantage of the new sorting tools. Maps improvements include: the ability to pan and zoom further ahead to see traffic conditions, quick controls to see route details, and locations of food and gas stations on your route. Maps will tell you how much longer it will take to go to any of these places. Apple is opening Maps to developers with Maps Extensions, which lets you make reservations through OpenTable and will enable other types of integrations.
