Apple Announces iOS 10 With Overhauled Messages App, Rich Notifications, and More

There's a toggle in Maps in iOS 10 to avoid Tolls.
Yet you still care enough to tell a bunch of random people on a forum, dedicated to smartphones...
*You* don't need/want them, Apple don't do things just because of what you think.
Also did you not see widgets, including weather in the Keynote?
Thing is, Apple have been clearly separating out Hardware announcements from the WWDC keynote over the years, but some people have not noticed that and then just get their hopes up.
Additionally, we had a long period of times where there were big things to be done, due to the advancements in technology, but now we've plateaued a bit and some people seem to not be able to get that, which is a shame.
There's not going to be much of a leap for laptops/smartphones/tablets for a while, but the watch is in it's infancy, so will see some big leaps. The TV is in between those 2 groups.
Wow, again, just because there's nothing new you liked, did not mean there's nothing new at all, Apple caters to the masses, not the minority, there's going to be things that are improved that are of no interest to you. When you say 'Nobody needs' you mean that YOU don't need, there's a massive difference there....
Bully for you, a lot of people want more information on the lock screen and have been very vocal about it for a long time. You're just another example of what's wrong with this forum, people acting with self entitlement, presenting their opinion that because they don't like something, it's something no-one wants.
Really? I thought watchOS was a massive step forward, in regards to Apps and the experience, something that should have been watchOS 2.
Swype has been on iOS since 2014, you had your head buried in the sand?
So, you state no-one uses the microphone voice thing, where's your source for that, because you're wrong. Also, a lot of the stuff in messages relating to stickers and that, is because there's an audience for it, look at Facebook messenger, Google's new Allo, there's a demand. You can easily just not use it yourself. If anyone uses it to send to you, well just proves yourself wrong when you say it's something no-one will use....

Yea, damn Apple playing catchup, by copying Google's Allo & Duo with iMessage and FaceTime in 2011 & 2010.... The tech industry duplicates and tries to improve, nothing wrong with that.
Do you have a screenshot of it? I didn't hear of it on during the keynote.
[doublepost=1465859185][/doublepost]I also didn't hear on the keynote whether news is going to be supported in Canada.

And that does not work with Siri... yet. However if another rumor that says it is toggleable now by default then I can finally get rid of that app.
Someone else confirmed it earlier in this thread. Not got a screenshot yet as not got it installed yet.
Edit: got this screenshot. Also Markup for messages, finally!
As for Waze, it can work with Siri once the developers take advantage of Siri being opened up to them
though not sure how much she's being opened up yet. Mind you, since Google bought Waze, I feel it's been neglected.Did Apple bring up the voicemail transcription for iOS? That's surprising. Like you, I'm also hard of hearing myself but rely on unlimited data and text for my iPhone 6 Plus without any voice plan. But when the time comes for me to use a voice plan again in the future, then the voicemail transcription would be a godsend for people trying to reach me.
I didn't watch the keynote today due to a meeting, however.
WTF do they spend so much time and effort on style? All those man hours just to make icons more rounded, or to change the style of them. When what we need is something useful like dark mode. I'm amazed that on their sleep app they actually made it dark, because people use their phones in the dark. I'm amazed because they seem oblivious that people use their phones at night or in the dark and don't want a glaring white on off white theme blinding them.
Are consumers really that vapid where Apple thinks what sells phones is rounding off icon corners? Man if that's the case then humankind is certainly doomed.
[doublepost=1465860729][/doublepost]
That's the most god-awful solution I've ever used. Android is guilty of that as well. I wish they would both take a cue from Microsoft who has a very useful high contrast mode which works well, and doesn't invert graphics and such.

Keep in mind a typical consumer (basically lowest common denominator).
I like you. You're being sensible. WWDC always bring out the irrational people that expect to them individually, rather than the wider audience.
Nice ones there\Someone else confirmed it earlier in this thread. Not got a screenshot yet as not got it installed yet.

- mail filters
- mail suggested move folders
- faster FaceTime connect (will it work only between iOS 10 devices)
That's true, but then I have to disable and enable night shift daily. I would prefer to have something that "just works" instead of a work around.
Nothing new? And yet some guy still managed to stand on the stage and talk about a bunch of new stuff.
I suppose it could be that you are mistaken, no?
I'm thinking that iOS 10 will be the last software revision for the iPhone 5. The CPU in the 5 was incredibly powerful though, and it's aged well. iOS 9.3.2 runs flawlessly on my 5.
I can see a lot of people liking these new features in Messages ... but they just make me cringe. I'm not looking forward to people getting their hands on this. I just want simple and clean messages.
Man, Apple is really coming for Snapchat's throat with this iMessage update. Snapchat adding ads in between user stories won't help them none either. I'm eager to try this stuff out.

Looks like great updates. Lots of ignorance in the threads today.
"Android has had all this"
So I can have it without owning an android device?? NICE!

From what was shown today Messages seems to be the biggest update. Apple has some nice ideas but clearly lacks good designers and a vision. Keynote was a mess of various features stuffed together. New iOS Control Center and Music app is a mess too. Went from ugly to bad design. Poor Apple.
I have an Android (Nexus 5) but I'm not a power user. Can anyone tell me what sort of "features" of iOS 10 were copied from Android?
I had 4 item checklist. Even half of it would make me wanna join the party but so far so good. Zero match.
I have always thought that Tim Cook's Apple would have much more spatial awareness and would walk on that path elegantly compare to innovation driven, strictly restricted Steve Jobs era. I admit that I was wrong. It's just bunch of clerk executives of well publicised, dried-up startup who have no clue whatsoever.
Make a phone that delivers all of its functionality under relatively heavy load. If I go all in with 6s, I'd be out of reach after early afternoon. - Lack of Understanding the Reality...
iPad Pro? Just because of a pen, pencil and mediocre keyboard? I don't think so. Two days ago I had to edit a document while on the move. I now have 3 identical copy of same file in 3 different apps. Editing documents are such a long lasting pain and waste of time that it's worth to wait for a good old computer. Future of personal computing? Go innovate your a*s.
One more thing! What was that messaging creep show?
- no customizable Control Centre
- no common-ground file system, not even limited one
- No dark mode
- no app drawer
- I'm not an emoji-fan.
- Siri isn't probably going to be properly functional soon.
- Sadly, I can easily manage my all notifications in IOS 9

Perhaps it's more about thinking differently about expecting unrealistic revolutionary things all the time, especially from a fairly mature product.Keynote was predictable and boring. Most of the "new" features are copies of what other people have already been doing.
If Apple thinks this will prevent iPhone sales from continuing to fall, they need to think again. Maybe even... Think differently?
