10 iOS 10 features that appear to be derived from the jailbreak community

Anthony Bouchard ∙ June 14, 2016

Every year, Apple updates their lineup of iOS devices with a major new firmware version. This year at WWDC 2016, Apple announced iOS 10, and it not only includes an array of new features for users to take advantage of, but it also comes with some subtle UI changes that will be easy to spot in day-to-day use as well.

Of course, when Apple adds new features to iOS, sometimes those features aren't 100% original. Sometimes, they've existed in the jailbreak community for a long time in one form or another.

In this roundup, we'll go over 10 features in iOS 10 that appear to be derived from jailbreak tweaks and have already existed for those who have been pwning their devices to get around what Apple doesn't want you to have.

Cody Lee ∙ Updated April 30, 2018

In typical fashion, Apple used a portion of its WWDC keynote to go over some of the major—or "tentpole"—features coming in the next version of iOS 10. There's a more powerful Messages app, a new HomeKit app, redesigned Music and News apps, and more.

But obvioulsy Apple couldn't cover every new feature today, so it offered up a sneak peak at some other additions and improvements we can expect from the update. The slide you see above names 30+ new features coming in iOS 10, and we've listed them below.

Apple News gets simpler design, subscriptions and more in iOS 10

Cody Lee ∙ June 13, 2016

Among the new things Apple announced 10 today is a redesigned News application. This is a standalone news aggregation app, first introduced in iOS 9 last summer, and it's getting some significant improvements in the upcoming iOS 10 update.

These start with what Apple is calling an "all-new design." In the 'For You' tab, your stories are now broken up into clear sections like Top Stories, Trending—which shows you the top stories right now, and topics you follow, like cars or sports.

Watch cool new iOS 10 Messages features in a video Apple ran during WWDC keynote

Christian Zibreg ∙ June 13, 2016

A supercharged Messages is definitely my killer app in iOS 10. Not only does it catch up to other messaging apps with perks like downloadable stickers, it actually leapfrogs them with cool new stuff such as full screen animations, chat bubbles that animate in specific ways to better convey your emotions, support for sketching and the Apple Watch's Digital Touch feature and what not.

In fact, Messages in iOS 10 is so jam-packed with improvements that Apple ran a cool video during the keynote showing them off.

You can delete stock Apple apps in iOS 10

Cody Lee ∙ Updated April 30, 2018

Several stock iOS apps turned up in the App Store this morning, inciting speculation that you will soon be allowed to delete them. Apple didn't mention anything about this during the keynote, but after installing the initial iOS 10 beta, we can confirm that many stock apps are deletable in Wiggle mode.

These apps include Calendar, Weather, Maps, Videos, Notes, Reminders, Stocks, iTunes Store, Home, FaceTime and others that currently come pre-installed on iOS devices, and are not eligible to be deleted or even hidden. We're guessing important apps like Phone and Messages are still mandatory.

Apple’s PR website refreshed with a new, mobile-friendly Newsroom

Christian Zibreg ∙ June 13, 2016

After finishing watching Apple's media presentations, my first port of call is the official Apple PR website, which has all the press releases, official press shots, executive biographies and other product and company-related material from the official source. The Apple PR website itself is rather unimpressive, with some spartan design. This morning, a message popped up when I was reading through the iOS 10 press releases, offering a mobile optimized version of the new Apple Newsroom, which looks great.

Jim Gresham ∙ Updated April 30, 2018

Today, Apple announced major renovations and upgrades to its latest version of OS X, now called macOS. The new naming convention means the operating system falls in line with its brethren, watchOS, iOS, and tvOS. New features prominently include desktop Siri integration and auto unlock features.
