Default 3rd-party Apps
Apple’s default mail, calendar and safari apps are great, but there are many third party apps that handle these features much better. Users like me, will appreciate being able to download a third party application to replace such standard iOS apps. From an iphone and ipad app developers perspective, this is the most important, much desired change, but is the least likely to happen.
Multi-user support
While an iphone belongs to an individual, an ipad may be shared and used by multiple users in a family or at workplace. Multi-user-support for the ipad, is arguably the most desired, yet a long pending feature that I believe, apple will address this time over. If multi-user feature is enabled, users will be able to fully customize their ipad experience by logging in with a unique pin, password or fingerprint authentication.
Greater customization for iOS control center
In a very interesting video https://youtu.be/VmAyIiAu7RU, visual designer Sam Beckett has put together some really intriguing and clever ideas for apple to incorporate. Primary focus here lies on a control center that can be customized by picking, choosing and replacing hardware toggles and application shortcuts. Another interesting improvement is a system wide dark mode. We also hope that the iOS 10 adopts a deeper 3D Touch integration. It will be one of the best changes that can happen to iOS control center.
Smarter Siri:
Siri has become one of the most popular virtual assistant, and we expect Siri to become smarter and more efficient. Apple is already working towards integrating siri onto its operating system, and it would be the most natural step to announce this with the roll out of iOS 10.
It seems next to impossible; however, iPhone users unanimously feel that if apple allows pairing an iPhone with other devices working on different operating systems like android and windows that will probably mark the beginning of a new era. Several artists, visualizers and designers say that if they can Bluetooth the magic mouse with iPad that would be really great. However right now all we can do is speculate, hope for the best and wait for apple to roll out the much awaited iPhone 7 and iOS 10. I am surely hoping for a surprise package with all the above listed features and more.
