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.
- Read receipts by conversation in iMessage

- Discover section in iBooks
- Improved Auto Enhance in the Photos app
- Faster FaceTime connectivity
- CarPlay app recording
- Rest and type iPad keyboard

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.

And now my 2009 Macbook Pro is left behind.
By iOS 10?
by MacOS.
Sure, but this article is about iOS 10.
Mid, not late.
Time for a hardware upgrade
was this bashing or what
you and i can agree that ipad1 couldnt handle ios 6, but for what you say about the mac i agree with you
More like pedantic.
New clock app.
“Location suggestions in Calendar”. Need a switch to turn this off. “Air quality in Maps for China”, hopefully only for China since we don’t choke on that crap.
I don’t know what you mean about iBooks… my iBooks are stored locally on my iPad (I can still read them on my WiFi iPad when not connected…).
Ah – I’ve never really thought of that. Would it make a difference if you turned off “Sync My Collections”?
Go into Setting, then scroll down to iBooks.
Settings-iBooks-Sync Collections, and toggle to off.
CarPlay app recording should be CarPlay app reordering.
There are 4.5 million people in Ireland… What do you mean ‘person, not place ought to be happy’?
Still no Apple native swipe for the keyboard. Aaaaarg!
What exactly is this “rest and type keyboard” thing?
you forgot BedTime in Clock App.
All new redesigned Health App.
Now you can delete system apps.
It’s not a true delete. Your data is deleted, but the apps are just hidden.
How about paying for an item on iPad or iPhone and then not having to pay again for the iMac version?
