But it still feels barely implemented - how about being able to hot-switch Wi-Fi networks? - and hardly takes advantage of its amazing levels of pressure sensitivity. The flashlight now has three brightness settings, and you can set timers with a quick swipe. That being said, 3D Touch - which is only available on the iPhone 6S, 6S Plus, 7 and 7 Plus - at least does more than it did a year ago. New widgets that pop up above some apps offer quick-access info like weather forecasts and sports score recaps, but not enough apps use it, and it's impossible to predict which do. Pressing in on the pressure-sensitive screen still opens secondary menus slowly. Uneven 3D Touch implementation: 3D Touch has spread across more of the iPhone, but it's still not nearly as universal or useful as it should be. We found ourselves constantly having to course-correct for basic music searches, restaurant recommendations and sports scores. Siri asks you to consult your iPhone too much, and isn't a hands-free experience at all. Siri's (lack of) smarts: You may be able to order an Uber or launch a Skype call with your voice, but Siri still trails far behind Google's voice assistant skills. It's a little random (why "On This Day: November 3, 2014," Apple?) but the results are great, although similar to what Google and Facebook do. There's also a "Memories" feature that creates automatic slideshows based on themes. The whole collection gets scanned on-device and photos are better sorted by faces and places. Improvements to Photos include better library-scanning, and Memories: If you use Apple's iCloud Photo Library to sync and store your photos, the new Photos app adds some helpful tools. (But keep in mind, you still can't remove some.) Hide unwanted stock apps, or other things: You won't delete them entirely, but you'll rid your screen of the cluttering icons of previously undeletable Apple apps. Just note that it's not always 100 percent accurate, and it only works on compatible wireless carriers.

Your Voicemail tab in the phone app now includes a full transcription when you tap a message, which means you may not have to give it a listen. Voicemail transcription: Visual voicemail has been around for a long time in Android, and it's welcome here too. The only problem is, you need HomeKit-compatible products. The new Home app: If you have any HomeKit-compatible home products, iOS 10 finally offers the tools to access your products and create easy-access controls and settings - from any screen.

But the apps are the promising part: you can already make payments via Square Pay or add a ton of other features like restaurant reservations or movie showtimes. They do get addictive, though, and the total sticker package avalanche gives Messages a more social-app feel. Stickers and new flashy animations (lasers!) borrow liberally from Facebook Messenger - they're fun but hardly necessary.

IMessage upgrades: The upgrade to Apple's built-in messaging app gives you a ton of fun new ways to express yourself with other iOS 10 users.

Meanwhile, if you have a Mac running the new MacOS Sierra software update, you'll be able to use iCloud to bridge both devices for things like copying and pasting text, and sharing documents and desktop files.
