Apple’s first preview of iOS 10 was jam-packed with new features and improvements, but there are plenty that we didn’t get to hear about during the WWDC keynote. Here’s a long list of new things you can look forward to using this fall.

Many of these changes are pretty self-explanatory, but we’ll have to wait until developers get their hands on the first iOS 10 beta to see what some of these features do. I’m particularly interested in the “rest and type” keyboard for iPad, and side-by-side Mail compose.
If you are a registered developer, you can download and install the first iOS 10 beta today. It’s obviously best to avoid this release if you only have one device, because it won’t be stable yet. The rest of us will have to wait until it rolls out in the fall.
