The biggest iOS update yet? Sounds like propaganda to me. The iOS that first included the app store would be much more significant. I found IOS10 to be more like IOS 9.5.
No it's not. Gun culture is the problem, actual guns causing actual harm. Not an emoji which doesn't quite fit the description. If unicode wants consistency, they should demilitarize harmful weapons.
Pistol
A gun emoji, more precisely a pistol. A weapon that has potential to cause great harm.
[doublepost=1473855822][/doublepost]But you can't rearrange them once there are more then 10.
A gun is a tool. People use tools. A person can use a hammer to build a home or take someone's life. A person can use a truck to deliver life saving food, water, or medicine, or mow down scores of people enjoying a holiday in the park. A person can use a knife to prepare a meal or to kill dozens in a hospital to "put them out of their misery". A person can use a gun to stop a crime (50,000-2,000,000 times a year in the US) or kill someone including themselves (about 30,000 per year in the US).
Nobody cares about your justification and rationalization. iOS isn't made for the stupid half of one country alone. Outside the 2nd amendment bubble distance killing "tools" are restricted for good reason and with tremendous effect on the amount of gun violence people in other countries must endure. The "weapon that has potential to cause great harm" isn't a good emoji for the same reason a swastika flag is missing from the list. It's a symbol for something that shouldn't exist in the first place.
A few notes (not sure if already mentioned):
Voicemail transcription only works on 6s or newer, or SE (and on supporting carriers of course).
I'd like an article about the CallKit API's caller id extension to support a new breed of iOS phone directory and spam blocklist apps (like on Android). Popular app Truecaller will support it, but some early ones already on the App Store like Callblock, Who called?, WhoCalls, etc.
I can't get the side-by-side Mail compose to work on the 12.9 iPad Pro. Was this feature cut during beta? The only thing that works (on both iPhones & iPads) is the ability to minimize the compose window to the bottom of the screen by dragging it downward.

Oh, Apple...
Why does double tap on a mail not work to zoom in?
Why are the star ratings gone?
Why do we have to swipe down and always from right to left for the widgets (yes, we could swipe right but only from home screen)?
Why do we need more swipes and taps than before?
Why do I have to disable the click home button to unlock my iPhone?
Why are things broken that weren't broken before?
Why, oh, why is simplicity gone? (Because we demand more, granted, but that doesn't justify every single change.)

My iPhone 6 seems to work fine with the update. Better than fine, actually. As does my iPad Air 2.
Snappy.
And as someone mentioned, predictive typing is signficantly improved.

Yeah I have same problem, as I have predictive autocomplete bar turned off.
So any misspelled, red underlined words only get highlighted when I click on them, instead of ios9 which gave you suggested replacement words.
I could double click on the word then scroll through to replace, OR just turn on predictive autocomplete bar, but that's not the point.
I have autocorrect on which catches most errors as I type, but sometimes one slips through and gives me red-underline, then clicking that word only gives me highlighted word without replacement suggestions.
Interesting. I have both enabled as well (auto-correct and spelling) but for some reason almost never see the red underline even when auto-correct doesn't catch something and it's misspelled. This is mostly in Safari, although other apps too I think. Now I'm wondering why the spell check isn't quite doing it's job in my case.
