IOS 10 - which devices will support? Compatible devices: list

Admirers of Apple products are innumerable, this will not be disputed. Also, everyone will support the fact that every year they become even more. And it's no accident. After all, progress does not stand still, and the company is famous for keeping pace with it. Currently, with the mouth of Apple users, the news about the release of a new operating system called iOS 10 is not coming off.

If the previous version could shake half of the world with its new features and improved old ones, then from the tenth version they are waiting for the unimaginable. To some extent, she will be able to provide them, but still now it will not go about this. Many people are worried about the issue of the new iOS 10. What devices will support this operating system? Let's be frank, not everyone can afford the newfangled iPhone 7, but absolutely everyone would like to use the new operating system. This question will be considered further in the text.

When to wait for iOS 10?

Before you talk about iOS 10 (for which devices it is suitable), it is worth mentioning the very date of release of this operating system. The development was conducted, no less than a year, according to the tradition in June, and to be precise, on June 13, a presentation was given to the whole world at the assembled developer conference, called WWDC 2016. It was presented in June, but the release will take place, Of course, much later. Judging by past events, iOS 10 will approximately hit the devices of millions of people around September.

This month was chosen in a non-random way, because those who monitor Apple know that the new operating systems are always present in June, and then there is a series of improvements. This process is laborious and therefore takes all three months of the summer. It is necessary that the final product does not have bugs and various errors. All summer will be exclusively for developers presented beta version of the operating system. They will have to identify all the shortcomings. As a result, Apple will eliminate the shortcomings and bundled with the new iPhone 7 will release a brand new iOS 10 in September.

Innovations

Everyone is interested in seeing iOS 10. What's new about it? To be silent in the article about these data will be unforgivable. Therefore, this is exactly what will be discussed now. What can surprise us with iOS 10? Which devices will support it?

Symbolically, at the presentation of iOS 10, Apple singled out exactly ten major innovations in its operating system. Innovations touched upon such applications as:

• Control Center.
• Siri.
• Quick Type.
• Photo.
• Maps.
• Music.
• News.
• HomeKit.
• Phone.
• IMessage.

To write out the details of each application, of course, now there is no sense, on this topic it is necessary to write a separate article. But in short we'll talk about iOS. What's new in the program?

• In the Control Center, the topic has changed. Different switches are now indicated in different colors. Added management of music.
• In Siri, the API was declassified, now it can interact with the software directly. From small things: the icon has changed, a tab has appeared in the settings and now you can put a male voice.
• Now the hints when typing text became smarter. Quick Type is able to even predict the phone number that your interlocutor asks you.
• A photo can now recognize different objects, not just faces. So, having entered into the search for a "bicycle", there are photos with a bicycle. You can also run a slide show for the selected music.
• Maps has changed in design. He became more comfortable. On the map there were offers, and it became possible to remove the map during the trips. The work of GPS has changed.
• Music also changed the design. In addition, music appeared in additional categories, charts, lyrics.
• About the application "News" you can only say that the design has changed. But for this program we are all exactly, because in the CIS countries it does not apply.
• HomeKit is a new application. It allows you to control home appliances at a distance, of course, if such a function is implemented in it.
• The Phone application has also changed. Now voice messages are automatically converted to text. There was also a category of SPAM.
• The iMessage application has undergone drastic changes. If you start to list them, then you can stop on page 20, so we omit this news.

So, we reviewed the program iOS 10. What's new it provides the user, now it's understandable.

Compatible devices

It's time to talk about iOS 10. What devices will support it? And of course, I wanted to immediately indicate that on the iPhone 7 iOS 10 will be installed initially, but everyone guessed it. But as far as earlier models are concerned, not everything is as smooth as that. Let's give you more information about iOS 10. The list of devices that will support it:

• IPhone 5.
• IPhone 5S.
• IPhone 6.
• IPhone 6S.
• IPhone SE.
• IPhone 7.

They were representatives of smartphones, now it's worth talking about iPad with support for iOS 10. Supported devices:

• IPad 4.
• IPad mini 2.
• IPad mini 3.
• IPad mini 4.
• IPad Air.
• IPad Air 2.
• IPad Pro.
• IPad Pro 9.7.

Now it remains only to talk about the iPod with iOS 10. Compatible devices:

• IPod Touch 6G.

Is it compatible with the iPhone 4S?

Now it's worth talking more about iOS 10. Compatible devices were listed above. As you can see, there is no iPhone 4S. This means that he will not support the new operating system.

And it's not surprising, because the display of this device has long since gone out of fashion, and the iron itself by today's standards is too weak. The absence of a 64-bit processor speaks volumes. In general, we can say that Apple from the Quartet has already refused. It will not be released by any new systems, and the update will also be completed.

What about the iPhone 5?

But the owners of the iPhone 5 can sleep peacefully. The data of the iOS 10 model will be visited. Despite the fact that the smartphone is quite old, it is still capable of pulling a new operating system. And it's joyful that Apple does not discount it, because the users of this phone is very much around the world, and many like it very much. And now there is still the opportunity to breathe new life into it, installing iOS 10.

IPhone 5S

But with the iPhone 5S the situation is diametrically opposite than with the iPhone 4S. The presented phone has a 64-bit processor, which allows you to install a new OS on it. And he was very lucky, because this is the first smartphone in the line on which this processor was installed. If this had not happened, he would have remained in the shadows, and innovations would have bypassed him. By the way, if someone else doubts, then on the iPhone SE iOS 10 will also be installed.

Conclusion

Apparently, Apple every year makes us happy with its new operating systems, but this periodicity does not affect the quality of the product. After all, for a whole year of silence, they immediately and completely put in a new operating system a huge number of innovations.

Definitely, that at the moment iOS 10 is the best operating system among all its competitors. And it pleases. But it's a bit sad for her compatibility. We learned a lot about iOS 10. What devices will support it, we also reviewed. Someone's news was pleased, but someone, on the contrary, was upset. But in any case, one thing remains indisputable: that those platforms were thrown back, which due to their technical characteristics could not pull the new operating system. There's only one way out of this situation: if you want to use iOS 10, then it's time for you to think about purchasing a new iPhone, starting with number 5.
