Over the past few weeks, five beta versions of iOS 10.1 were inspected, analyzed and checked by technology testers and developers. As of the moment, Apple's upgrade to its OS 10 is finally ready for downloading.
The current update is the fourth following the release of iOS 10.0.1, 10.0.2 and 10.0.3. Users have a couple of options to acquire Apple's major update.
Installation can be done by going to iTunes. Choosing the software update on general settings is also another route to consider. The software is available for iPhone 5 and beyond, iPad 4th generation and above, as well as iPod Touch 6th generation and up.
Most noteworthy among the features of iOS 10.1 is the portrait approach. Dual cameras of iPhones with large screens like the 7 Plus variant will benefit the most from this attribute. This mode will use the telephoto and expanded angle lenses to make portraits. Images will be instituted with depth effects that will project the subjects to appear sharp while keeping the background blurry. This method is known as 'bokeh.'
However, this facet needs enough light to keep the photos in perspective. The 'bokeh' mode is still in beta which means that future improvements are underway.
Another interesting element that the new iOS brings is the transit maps in Japan. Included in this navigational guide are the diagram of all underground sites and pathways which link transit stations. Moreover, comparative fare rates are also divulged when users find alternative routes to a certain destination.
The update also introduces Reduce Motion to manage the Bubble and Screen sequence on the Messages application. In addition, contacts can be stored in iCloud backups for forwarded pictures. The audio disturbance in certain text messages has already been fixed.
Apple Watch functions are available on the iOS 10.1. Troubles associated with update occurrences even when manually disabled and the blocking of invitations or related information to appear have been disturbing. Presently, these activity sharing issues have already been addressed.
In addition, music playlists can now be synced to the Apple Watch.
