YES WTF
some of us liked it! this can't be true..
why not just make it deletable like the rest? or as it should be, hideable like icloud purchases?
Because dark mode would be perfect for an OLED display.
No dark mode means no OLED this year on the iPhone and that's consistent with rumours of OLED coming to the iPhone in 2017.
I expect a major overhaul of iOS next year for the 10th anniversary of iPhone and dark mode could be one of the key features of iOS 11
But, EMOJIS!!!!
Sounds like the default apps are still part of the core OS, the delete just allows you to hide the icon. It's a good step, But the next step is to remove them from core to allow a) individual app update and b) selecting our own defaults.

It's not a default for Siri to setup but it's up to the alt weather app to have Siri intergration

The normally have a couple of features that only work on the new hardware... Maybe the split or video will be that feature
I wonder if the wake alarm has to be the active app when you lock your phone. All third party alarms need to be used this way or they won't audibly alarm at the set time which causes me issues every once and a while.
APFS sounds very much like ZFS, which Apple played with but ultimately did not incorporate (although open-source implementations for Macs exist).
I notice they say they'll eventually publish the format and specification, but they don't mention publishing the implementation. Hmm.

it's up to google to add Siri and other extensions to work... As far as CarPlay I am hoping that you will be able to add apps that have Siri functionally to CarPlay... It showed Skype, but that is a phone app

Game Center has been removed!?! Whatever will gamers do now?
Yea it never worked, devs should just move this to social app like facebook... Should be built into the API

Let us know long term... I have it on my Touch iPod, but when it gets stable I will move it to my phone
Last year I tried ios 9 beta and it was quite stable but the apps I installed on ios 8 were removed. Especially Google's authenticator was missed since I had to disable and enable 2FA on some sites. Not a big deal as such. But then I read that these apps could be restored on the beta but I can't find the link and googling it is mostly Apple-related articles describing restoring from a backup.
So is it possible to restore apps to the beta from an iTunes-backup?
Will it retain the health-info if I install the beta, steps, heart-rate etc?

The only issue with this is I dont allow the control center to come up on a lock screen...
I still can't find any citation that confirms this. And even the statement above does not state whether it can be set as the default.
Or fly, or have any rewards cards such as starbucks, or any of the other things that Wallet uses. But hey, choose two specialized use cases and then pretend like that's all it does.
Since it's a built-in functionality more than likely it can work without anything special, just like the regular alarm.
LMAO!! i swear that "wooohooo" guy is at every conference they have!!! haha that was too funny.
One of the greatest things about android is that Google is able to push "stock" app updates without an entire new android version update. I think these changes will slow us to see updates to these apps more often without Apple having their hands tied in a version release. It also makes for much better beta testing and having a final release with a bug isn't quite as bad this way because a small App Store fix could be pushed.Maybe the phone app
It would be interesting to also (finally) see some third party default options for apps like the browser and sms.

For me the issue is a bit of a philosophical one. I'm not longer forced to "carry around" something I absolutely never use.
The term "space" encompasses more than mere bits and bytes for me too. I have a junk folder taking up space on my phone that really won't need to be there anymore. It's a bit like finally throwing away that old box of crap in the closet that you kept because your wife said you should keep it all.
I look at that "wake alarm" and the first thing I thought was this is going to be on the next 
watch.
watch.- It's round, just like the activity/breathe apps,
- the black background is out of alignment with the iOS white theme, but in alignment with watchOS' black theme,
- and it mentions "sleep analysis" but doesn't talk about how it would gather data for that analysis (grant, sleep apps now use the phone on the bed for motion, or SleepCycle uses sound somehow)
yes, but IMO its just an ok idea if you have tons of apps that can take advantage of the extensions, sure you prob have recents, but like emojis going overboard with choices this will also suffer from it. Just look at how 'good' extensions have worked so far. This is jus an extension of extensions. As far as VOIP I like to keep them separate than the phone app because friends and family for me are international and its easy for the backup system to call and charge, it has happened to me, family and friends so separate for me works better. I can see the phone app w 30 different icons and you don't even know what to press. easier to just open whats app and call from there or imsg.
People don't see the apps and that's what mainly matters to them as far as the result of it all.
[doublepost=1465916534][/doublepost]Where are the apps available as standalone downloads on the App Store ?
Apple today announced iOS 10, the next major version of its iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch software platform. The update is available in beta for Apple developers starting today, allowing early adopters to update and take a closer look at what's new. A public beta will be available in July, followed by an official launch in the fall.
iOS 10 includes a number of changes that Apple neglected to mention in greater detail on stage during its WWDC 2016 keynote, including a new Wake Alarm in the Clock app, individualized read receipts, a new option in the Music app to optimize storage, and many other features outlined below.
Remove Stock Apps
iOS 10 enables users to remove the following built-in apps from the Home screen on iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch:
o Calendar
o Compass
o Contacts
o FaceTime
o Find My Friends
o Home
o iBooks
o iCloud Drive
o iTunes Store
o Mail
o Maps
o Music
o News
o Notes
o Podcasts
o Reminders
o Stocks
o Tips
o Videos
o Voice Memos
o Watch app
o Weather
The apps are now available as standalone downloads on the App Store, meaning that Apple can issue updates for each app independent of iOS updates.
If you have an Apple Watch paired with your iPhone, removing an app from your Home screen also removes that app from your Apple Watch.
Removing apps can unsurprisingly impact related functionalities such as CarPlay and Notification Center widgets.
Wake Alarm
A new Bedtime tab has been added to the Clock app with a Wake Alarm function that can help you go to sleep and wake up at the same time every day. When enabled, the recurring wake-up alarm will remind you when it is time to sleep, track how many hours you slept, and provide detailed sleep analysis.
Individual Read Receipts
Read receipts can be toggled on a per-person or per-conversation basis on iOS 10, rather than be simply turned on or off entirely.
Music Storage Optimization
New Keyboard Sound
Other tidbits can be found in our iOS 10: All The Little Things and iOS 10 beta 1 discussion threads.

Some people are so obsessed with irrelevancies like 'Dark Mode', that they've missed some quite exciting steps forward in AI from Apple - both for iOS and macOS.
1) iMessage improvements look like a response to Allo / Gboard. Were probably already in development beforehand though. Includes a lot of Snapchat features, but more importantly suggested contacts, pre-filled calendar events, suggested 'places' when the time is right...
2) Siri! Well, here's the big one. Opening up Siri to third parties is gonna be huuuuuge... I hope. At the moment I think we can all agree Siri lags miles behind Google Assistant in surfacing sh*t we actually care about. Maybe this will help. Hilariously, I wonder how the Google app (basically Google Now for iPhone) will integrate with Siri long-term?
Also interesting to see Siri come to Mac at last. Not sure how often I'll end up using it on desktop - I usually turn to Google even on my iPhone, but we'll see...
3) Photos is getting clever. Looks like some good steps forward in machine learning here - identifying places, objects etc. Again, and I'm no Google fanboy - I own a Macbook Pro, iPad Mini and iPhone - this all looks like catching up with Google Photos. Just without the free unlimited storage...
As we move towards the 'virtual assistant' world, Apple needed to show they can compete with Google, and even Amazon Echo, Facebook M, dare I say it even Cortana. Let's see if they can!

I'm sure they'll find something to keep their hands busy.
I want the person's job who gets to sleep every day for more than 10 hours and wake up after 9 AM.
Is this how all the Apple employees live while making 6 figures???
