iOS 10 Rumors: Things to expect with the next Apple mobile OS [VIDEO]
Apple is highly expected to officially unveil its next mobile OS, the iOS 10. All this is expected to be made at the Worldwide Developers Conference in June. Rumored features of the iOS 10 have already been scouring online with most likley to be made official soon.
According to Forbes, the latest update won't offer a major redesign meaning there won't be massive tweaks. But just like the previous updates, this one should carry enough improvements to keep iOS device users excited.
Let's try and have a look at what features to expect from the iOS 10 update:
1 – Standalone HomeKit App
Per Mac Rumors, a standalone HomeKit app will be added to devices that will get the iOS 10. The report said that the rumor came from a reviewer in Amazon, who also happens to be working in marketing at Apple.
2 – Hide Stock Apps
There are also plans of giving users the ability to hide stock apps from iOS such as Calendar, Notes, Tips, Stocks, News, and even Game Center. Although these pre-installed items come in handy, having all of them on the home screen can sometimes be annoying for some users, especially if they don't use them that much. This is one feature that should be a welcome upgrade.
3 – iCloud Voicemail
Business Insider hinted last year that Apple employees of were assigned to a certain voicemail service testing that can be used to answer calls and/or transcribe voicemail messages. The same report believes that this is another feature that coudl be included meaning Apple users coudl be getting an iCloud Voicemail feature. This works when a user sends a text of transcribed voicemails.
4 – Aesthetics
There is the possibility that the latest update to iOS may also showcase an all-black screen with the font in white. Users will then be provided with two choices or modes – light and night.
All these are speculations for now meaning Apple loyalists may have to wait a little bit longer to see if these features will be on hand when the iOS 10 comes out - hopefully in June.
