APPLE IOS 10 FEATURES PRO
Pro tip: There's no Netflix channel in the 'Store' tab, but you can add individual Netflix shows through the 'Search' tab. It really breaks down the walls between siloed video apps on your iOS device. Behind in scenes, there's also a new settings menu for 'TV Provider.' It's designed to let the TV app pull from subscription services like Dish and Sling TV.īasically, the new TV app delivers TV content no matter where it's sourced from. There's thankfully a lot more to the all-encompassing TV app. That tells you something about its past usefulness. The new app added our one and only TV show episode (a free iTunes promo from 2009) that 'Videos' had been carrying around. With the release of iOS 10 Beta 1 to developers, I hope to have iOS 10 on a device real soon, where I can then report on these new features, along with any new experiences that these updates bring, and anything we have yet to discover that wasn’t announced during Apple’s special event.īe sure to follow us for the latest updates to iOS 10 on Apple CarPlay on Facebook, Twiter and we’re also on the Apple News app.See 'The Beast' (right), carried over from the VIdeos appĪpple's TV app is supposed to replace the neglected Videos app (but for some users, both apps are present). The next major event for them will now be around September time, which is where it will announce its iPhone 7 and possible iMac/Macbook refreshes. Where that puts us next on the timeline of Apple-related things is a bit more tricky to predict. I had high hopes that Apple would use this event to showcase wireless CarPlay, but sadly there were way more important things for Apple to walk us through during the two hour steamed event. Whether this means we will see more applications displayed on wider CarPlay screens, or icons will just occupy more space (made larger) on screen, we have yet to see.

This is another feature listed on their iOS 10 feature slide. There is also rumour that we will be able to remove certain stock Apple apps from our iOS devices in iOS 10, so removing apps such as Audiobooks, Podcasts and Music would also clear up much space for your more regular CarPlay apps. I assume this maybe done via the iOS settings, or hopefully better still via CarPlay itself. How this works I have yet to see until I get iOS 10 installed on a device – I don’t trust installing my everyday device with the first iOS 10 Beta!

This wasn’t mentioned on stage, but it is clearly listed as an iOS 10 feature coming to CarPlay.
APPLE IOS 10 FEATURES DRIVERS
Now, I am sure this will be only supported on newer CarPlay supported vehicles, and drivers like myself who have an OEM CarPlay system installed, should get their hopes up that their redundant centre display will suddenly come back to life with this iOS 10 update! The last feature mentioned on stage was that CarPlay navigation will support turn-by-turn information in the centre instrument cluster of your vehicle. You can also pan and zoom to view upcoming traffic conditions. As seen in other apps such as Waze, Apple Maps in iOS 10 will also proactively scan the traffic ahead of you and suggest rerouting options and also display how much time the alternative route will save you. Whilst driving the camera will zoom in at junctions, and zoom out when you’re on a straight or fast track of road. Navigation will now include traffic whilst on route. Apple’s navigation app has had an all-new design, which also carries over to its CarPlay display.
