I liked it at first but eventually turned raise-to-wake off because my iPhone 6splus and SE were turning on constantly in my purse and the SE seemed to be doing so in my pockets, as well. Battery life was starting to take a hit.
Yup.Thats the Tim Cook effect.Ever since he took over, Apple has been all about emojis and watchbands and "courage"
Can it not just be as simple - as they were the marketing for the new iPhones so they are only for the new iPhone models? Does it really need to be as convoluted as Apple conspiring against older models over a wallpaper? What a way to get people to buy a new iPhone, "make this wallpaper exclusive to the new ones, people will be forced to upgrade their phones now!"
I happen to like iOS 10. My wife's 5s runs fine on the latest version and I'm on 10.2. I wish I could install it on my iPad 2. As far as I can tell Battery life doesn't seem to be affected with raise to wake.
I like the emojis and am glad they have the "courage" and devoted their staff of 60,000 solely toward crafting them. Sells more phones and helps keep the profits high. My aw does need a new watch band that I just bought. /s
Technically moving your phone affects battery life, but not to be pedantic It doesn't affect battery life to the extent I care enough to turn it off.
Tricked because I feel they want you to do it and tricked because I never agreed to it.
And basically almost none of that applies to this update where emojis are just one small thing that was updated simply based on the Unicode standards.
Because an iOS update could do something about computer hardware. Seriously.
So why focus on some small unimportant item that was updated among everything else that is much more meaningful in the beta?
I got a prompt to set it up too after a recent update, but was able to use the skip option that was provided without any issues.
I wonder if it's affecting my phones more noticeably because of where they are in their battery life. But your wife's iPhone doesn't seem affected so I don't know.
Not sure how iOS updates are nonsense. Or how those working on software would have any impact on those working on hardware.
So while Microsoft is coming out with Surface Studio and such,Samsung reportedly moving to optical fingerprint sensors and Edge to Edge OLED with the highest screen to body ratio ever,you feel emojis and these iterative updates Apple is pushing out are the pinnacle of innovation?I certainly dont and my opinion is cemented by this article which reinforced my above post and which you no doubt skipped reading
One small thing?Thats the only major thing mentioned in the article.We just have more wallpapers,more Music sorting options and thats about it
Apple today seeded the first beta of an upcoming iOS 10.2 update to public beta testers for testing purposes, just one over one week after releasing the first major iOS 10 update, iOS 10.1, and one day after providing the iOS 10.2 beta to developers.
Beta testers who have signed up for Apple's beta testing program will receive the iOS 10 beta update over-the-air after installing the proper certificate on their iOS device.
Those who want to be a part of Apple's beta testing program can sign up to participate through the beta testing website, which gives users access to both iOS and macOS Sierra betas. Betas are not stable and include many bugs, so they should be installed on a secondary device.
iOS 10.2, as a major 10.x update, includes several new features to enhance iOS 10. New emoji have been added, introducing Unicode 9 characters like clown face, drooling face, selfie, face palm, fox face, owl, shark, butterfly, avocado, pancakes, croissant, and more, plus many profession emoji available in both male and female genders.
Apple has also updated the artwork on many existing emoji, adding detail and making them look less cartoonish and more realistic. In addition to new emoji, the 10.2 update includes new wallpaper, new Music sorting options, a new "Celebrate" Screen Effect," an option for preserving camera settings, a Videos widget, and more.

Exactly what does Microsoft computer and operating divisions have anything to do with iOS? As far as an optical fingerprint reader and oled you are definitely enforcing the stereotypical android spec hound of specs before function without having a glimmer of apples plans. emojis are giving the people what they want and is much safer than rushing to production. Ask Samsung. Yes, I don't read this stuff because on the Internet you can find talking points for anything; doesn't mean they are right or correct or reflect any type of majority opinion.
Somehow in case of Apple the budget and dollars don't really seem like they would be any sort of a limiting factor.
The article points out a number of other things, and details of the update have even more to the update than that. So, yes, just going by article headlines and not really looking into things makes it easy to come up with random digs at something since spending some time actually looking into things requires some actual effort compared to coming up with (or really just parroting) essentially pointless memes.
