This week Apple is coming out with IOS 10. There are some interesting changes. I guess the new IPhone 7 comes out on Wednesday. |

Oh I hope the part where you can delete the junk apps is true!! I'll update right away for that alone (i usually wait a couple months in case of kinks).

Interesting changes, but I will wait to update because of the inevitable glitches and then the Internet will blow up with anger and angst. I'll let other people experience that.
While some of the changes sound promising,I do have to wonder about the necessity of disappearing messages. And the new keyboard sound? I find that majorly annoying.I hope I can stay with the old sound.

I have the world's oldest iphone (the Apple museum will be calling soon to see if I will allow them to display it) and haven't been able to update for a while. I think I am going to have to do something about it soon though, my phone is already displaying signs of not wanting to play nice because the updates are forcing it work harder. I suspect this update will be the death knell for my phone.

I just looked it up since I still have a 5s Here's the official Apple preview: www.apple.com/ios/ios10-preview/ |

They are announcing the new phone on Wednesday and then taking preorders on either the 9th or the 16th. Then it won't actually ship or be sold in stores for a few more weeks. I am upgrading to the 7+.  |

I am kind of cheap and feel like as long as it was working, there was no need to get a new phone. I wasn't able to update the last time. The problem that is starting to happen though is that because my phone didn't get updated, it doesn't always do well with apps and whatnot that HAVE been updated. I am thinking that this time it will be even worse because at that point, the phone will be more than one update behind. |

At this point it's barely chugging along enough to watch Netflix and play an occasional game. Doing any surfing requires a significant amount of patience and forget about looking at Pinterest, the app won't even open. But it still powers up, so no need to replace it......yet. |

If it is the death knell for my phone I won't be all that sad. |

My post disappeared so I will keep it brief  I hate change for changes sake. Alarm changes seem helpful. I don't need some texting with bubbles flowing across it and gigantic emojis. However, I would like some choice in text colors/backgrounds. EDIT: okay it wasn't bubbles, it was balloons for a bday message lol..maybe it will be okay. I thought it was texting with only emojis. I definitely do not need a company investing research and money on a new keyboard sound lol, that is strange  . Luckily for me I do not need to update my phone (IOS 9) anytime soon. |

Something that just occurred to me...... I like the idea of them allowing 3rd party developers to develop apps for iMessaging (I've been dreaming of an eyeroll emoji for awhile now) but if I have an app that allows the eyeroll emoji and send you a message, do you have to have the same app to view my eyeroll? Hmmmm

My DD has an ipad2. It is not supported on this new update. Wonder how long it will be before it's a brick. |

The way I saw the information from Apple information was that the iPad 2 IS supported -- but is the last generation iPad that will be supported by iOS 10
EDIT to correct - reading comprehension is critical -- the inform that I just re-read says IPad 2 MINI -- so it looks like mine will be a brick also!! Sorry!

Hmmmm Yes. My iPhone emojis have eye roll and stuff. Ds never updates his OS so he doesn't see any of the new stuff. Try bitmoji app. It will insert a photo into your text. You can choose      Or any number of fun responses |

The review article was much more informative than the Apple info that seemed to focus on the text and iMessage updates -- not something I'm interested in. I not only do not care what sound my keyboard makes, I don't know what sound it makes now and hope that it is silent! I am looking forward to dumping a lot of the standard app inserts; I'm curious about the slide to open change and since my iPhone "stores" upright I'm wondering about the start up when picked up. How is it going to know it was picked up in the orientation doesn't change?
I don't store much music - but blocking it from starting up when the phone is plugged in to the car would be nice (of course, figuring out or learning how to do that manually would also be nice!)
I don't really use the "notification" scene, except by accident.
I understand there is a way to "drop a pin" to know where your car is parked already.
I think I've talked myself out of an immediate upgrade to iOS 10 which might give me a bit of time to decide about upgrading the hardware.
