iOS 10 Beta Features: Hands-On Video Walkthrough Of The Biggest Changes Coming To iPhone

When announcing new features of iOS 10, Apple’s executives went as far as calling iOS 10 the “biggest iOS release ever” in the company’s history. Now while Apple’s claim is debatable, what is not debatable though is that it is a major version release.

As you may already know, Apple has released beta version of iOS 10 for developers to check out. We have been playing with it here on our test devices for the last couple of days, and just like how we do every year with major releases of iOS, we have picked out the biggest features that are part of iOS 10, and have then went hands-on with them on video.

Even though we have tried to cover quite a bit on video (it’s a 22-minutes long video!), there are still plenty more features that were not demoed here because some of them are not active yet, like Apple Pay on the web for example, and also, if we did showcase all of them, it’d turn into a feature film. For a full list of features, we’ll suggest you check out our 60+ iOS 10 Hidden / Secret Features For iPhone And iPad [List] post.
