List of iOS 10 Features with iPhone 7
We finally got an iPhone 7 in our hot little hands. Yes, all the reports that state āthe iPhone 7 is a lot like its predecessorā are true. The design is identical with the exception of the newly designed camera, plus there is an additional lens on the iPhone 7 Plus. The new ājet blackā color is flashy but fragile, as it is prone to scratches. But, once you slip on a new case, it will look just like the iPhone 6 anyway. What do you think of the new iOS 10 upgrade thatās available?
The quick and dirty of iPhone 7 and iOS 10
The guts of the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus are pretty Apple-amped with faster processors, higher megapixel lenses, and slightly larger batteries. At the end of the day, we don’t miss the headphone jack as much as we thought we would ā the AirPods are pretty cool and hey – no cords required. Indeed, we live in a wireless world and we continue to move away from the cord more and more. With every upgrade, Apple offers more convenience and less hassle.
With the iOS 10, Apple users will discover more personal touch features in Messages, a faster way to stay organized and some really cool benefits with Apple supported apps. But the most important thing about the iOS 10 upgrade is whether #appleaddicts will feel like it makes lifeās to-do list easier is to manage. Does the new iOS 10 do enough to help streamline communications, update our calendars and access what we need quickly? Sure the camera helps capture the things we like and love, but will it make us feel closer to our friends? Will the iOS 10 be the next wave of cool-factor?
We think so, but you be the judge.
