Big Changes in iOS 10 for iPhone and iPad

2016-09-04T14:30:00.000Z

Apple is going to push an update to nearly all iPhones next week with a whole bunch of improvements and changes.

It'll be called iOS 10 — the 10th major revision to the iPhone and iPad operating system.

iOS 10 will have common-sense changes that might be weird at first. But you'll eventually find they're big improvements.

You'll probably have to update anyway to keep your device secure and because Apple sends a ton of reminders to update your software.

Here are the big changes:

You can even choose which people should receive read receipts.
