iOS 10 is the tenth major release of the iOS mobile operating system developed by Apple Inc., being the iOS 9 successor. It was announced at the Worldwide Worldwide Developer Conference on June 13, 2016, and was released on September 13, 2016. It was replaced by iOS 11 on September 19, 2017.

iOS 10 incorporates changes to the 3D Touch and lock screen. There are several new features for some apps: Messages have additional emoji and third-party apps can expand functionality in iMessage, Maps has a redesigned interface and additional third-party functions, Home app managing "HomeKit" accessories -inabled, Photos have algorithmic search and categorization media known as "Memories", and Siri is compatible with specific third-party application requests, such as starting an exercise app, sending IM, requesting a Lyft or Uber app or using a payment function.

Reviews on iOS 10 are mostly positive. Reviewer highlights significant updates for iMessage, Siri, Photos, 3D Touch, and lock screen as welcome changes. Third party extension support for iMessage means it "becomes platform", even though the user interface is criticized for being difficult to understand. Third party integration in Siri is "great", although voice assistants are criticized for not being smarter than before. Reviewers were impressed with the image recognition technology in Photos, although the note was still "working in the process" with a higher error rate than the competition. 3D Touch "finally feels useful" and "works in almost every part of the OS". The lock screen "is much more customizable than ever", and reviewers enjoy that notification bubble can be expanded to see more information without unlocking the phone.

A month after its release, iOS 10 was installed on 54% of iOS devices, "migrating a bit slower" than for iOS 9 release, speculated because it was caused by a preliminary release issue that might "make some users stop downloading updates". IOS 10 adoption users continue to increase in the coming months, eventually by 89% of active devices by September 2017.

Apps can display widgets when their home screen icons are accessed with 3D Touch.

Most of the default apps that come with iOS devices can be hidden from the home screen and 're-downloaded' from the App Store. After doing this, the sandbox of each app is removed, which contains user data, settings, and cache. The app is also hidden from other places, such as "Today" views, Settings apps and "Sheet Sharing", where users can interact with apps from within other apps.

Developer API

iOS 10 gives third-party developers access to the APIs to three iOS system apps and services: Siri, iMessage, and Maps. Developers can:

• Turn certain activities into Siri's voice commands, allowing users to speak voice questions to Siri's personal and Siri assistants returning results from their respective apps. Applications that can integrate with Siri are limited to: send messages, initiate calls, send and request payments, search for photos and videos, order taxis or transport-sharing services, and manage exercises.
• Add custom apps to the iMessage App Store, which lets users add unique sticker packets, share rich content, or interact with specific application functions entirely in iMessage conversations.

Reception

In his review, The Verge ' Dieter Bohn writes that the new features introduced in iOS 10 are "the evolution of some of the design and interaction ideas that Apple has been working on for several years ". He writes that iMessage is "a separate platform," and although he likes the extension it means access to information from apps without the need to open individual applications, he writes that the new iMessage interface is hard to understand and that the use of "third-party apps, stickers, crazy confetti effect, and emoji all over the place "is a" nightmare ", even if it ends with" Or maybe it's a wonderland, not a nightmare.Your call. "Regarding third party support in Siri, he calls it" great ", while taking class limited apps ("calls, messaging, payments, photos, sharing apps, CarPlay systems and exercises"), and sometimes press buttons needed to complete the process. Beyond the application integration, he criticized Siri, writing "Siri does not seem to get much smarter than you remember". Bohn enjoys new machine-learning technology in Photo apps, writing that he was "impressed" by Apple's image recognition technology, which he noted was done locally on the device, but criticized the error rate, in which he compared the technology with Google Photos a step further. Bohn liked the new design for the Music and Maps app, saying that the redesign "for the better". Bohn really enjoys the new lock screen, where he highlights that the notification bubble can be touched 3D to access more information, all without the need to unlock the phone. Other small bits of new features he likes include "deletable" apps, upgrade "widgets" when 3D Touches the home screen icon, and breaks news notifications in Apple News. Overall, Bohn refers to iOS 10 as "Still a walled garden, but with more doors".

Engadget ' s Devindra Hardawar writes that iOS 10 is Apple "basically polishing a pearl". Hardawar noted that major changes in releases focused on features rather than visual interfaces. He writes that the lock screen is now "much more customizable than ever". He praised the new features added to 3D Touch, writing that it "finally feels useful", in which he likes that "3D Touch works in almost every part of the OS". With regard to iMessage, he writes that he has a "very useful" new feature, including "Invisible Ink" that obscures the text in a conversation when others may search, but criticizes the user interface, writing that "it takes work". The "Memories" feature in the new Photo app "usually works well," but writes that "they are still a work in progress". Hardawar praised the new Apple Music app, but added that "really, everything is better than the last iteration". He also loves lyrics support. He writes that Siri's third party support "really started to be useful", but has problems of accuracy. He finished by writing that although iOS 10 added features seen in Google's previous Android operating system, the mobile industry "shamelessly gets" inspired "by the competition". The summary states that "iOS 10 is a collection of useful changes to a solid OS".

In October 2016, a month after the initial release, 54% of iOS devices running iOS 10, "migration a little slower" than iOS 9 release in the previous year, results are speculated by MacRumors ' s Tim Hardwick is caused by an initial release issue that disables some devices and may "render some [users] not download updates". User adoption increased to 76% of active devices in January 2017, 79% in February 2017, 86% in June 2017, 87% in July 2017, and 89% in September 2017 before iOS 11 release.

Problem

Issue initial bricking release

Initial public release of iOS 10 on September 13, 2016 sees many iPhones and iPads temporarily disabled, or "bricked," by over-the-air updates, requiring devices bricked to connect to a Mac or PC with iTunes to repeat updates or restore the device to the factory settings. Apple quickly released iOS 10.0.1, and issued a statement: "We had a brief problem with the software update process, which affected a small number of users during the first hour of availability. The problem was quickly resolved and we apologized to the customer."

Local backup encryption problem

In September 2016, it was found that local iOS iOS backward iOS encryption was weaker for iOS 10 devices than for devices running iOS 9. Russian software company ElcomSoft found that the iOS backup process 10 skipped some security checks, so "around 2,500 times "faster to try passwords, allowing 6 million passwords per second compared to 2,400 passwords per second for the same process used by ElcomSoft on iOS 9. The company states that the impact is" severe ". Apple acknowledged the problem, saying it planned to issue a security update, but also stated that the iCloud backup was not affected. The iOS 10.1 update then fixes the problem.

Battery off

The Next Web ' s Juan Buis writes in late November 2016 that "complaints are shared [on Apple support forums] about various iPhone models that die when the battery falls below a certain percentage" , and blame the iOS 10.1.1 update. He further writes that "the original post [on the support forum] explains that the phone died when there was 30 percent of the remaining charge, and many others have since replied that they are experiencing the same thing." iOS 10.2, released in December 2016, adds a telemetry diagnostic tool that Apple can use to report battery consumption, to diagnose reported problems with 30% dead battery. In February 2017, Apple released a statement for TechCrunch , saying that the iOS 10.2.1 update, released on January 23, has reduced the appearance of battery shutdown by "over 80%" on iPhone 6S devices and "more from 70% "on iPhone device 6. In full, the statement reads:

With iOS 10.2.1, Apple made improvements to reduce the unexpected shutdown occurring experienced by a small number of users with their iPhone. iOS 10.2.1 already has more than 50% upgraded active IOS devices and the diagnostic data we receive from upgrades shows that for a small percentage of users experiencing this problem we see more than 80% reduction in iPhone 6s and over 70% reduction on an iPhone 6 device that suddenly dies. We also added the phone's ability to restart without the need to connect to power, if the user is still experiencing an unexpected outage. It is important to note that this unexpected closure is not a security issue, but we understand that this can be an inconvenience and would like to fix the problem as soon as possible. If customers have a problem with their device, they can contact AppleCare.
