Apple has released its latest iOS adoption numbers, revealing that the version 10 of its mobile operating system now powers 60% of compatible devices. That's a rise of 6% compared to the last time these figures were released.
As for other versions, iOS 9's share currently stands at 32%, down from its share of 38% that was revealed a couple of weeks ago, while earlier iOS versions claim an 8% share, which remains unchanged. So it's clear that whatever share iOS 10 has gained is at the expense of iOS 9.
Microsoft has pushed out a new update to Cortana's iOS app that bumps it to version 1.9.0 and brings along a new feature that lets the voice-controlled virtual assistant to remember things for you.
"Ask Cortana to remember things for you, like where you parked, and she'll save it for you in your reminders," the change-log for the update says. Aside from this, the update also includes improved feedback input experience.

Despite stiff competition, Spotify remains the top dog in the music streaming town. Just to put its success in numbers, the company announced that it now has over 100 million active users. Of course, most of these use the free tier service, complete with the occasional commercial, but still Spotify claims 30 million of its users do pay for premium.
Furthermore, if current trends keep up, Spotify might just continue to enjoy its hegemony in the niche, as its closest rival - Pandora, has been stalling at about 80-million users for some time now. However, it is worth noting that if you look at things on a broader scale, there are plenty of other forces to reckon with on the music streaming scene.
As far as pure user number is concerned, Amazon Music has 46 million subscribers, all of them paid in a way, since the online giant is giving the service as a bonus to Prime subscribers. Then there are also Google Music and Apple music, both of which have been growing in popularity, the later rather rapidly with 15 million paid subscribers just a year after its launch.
Apple announced the latest edition of its modile platform today. iOS 10 claims it’s the biggest iOS release since its inception and here are the 10 new major features Apple accented on during its presentation:
1. User interface
Apple has redesigned the lockscreen. It now supports pick up to wake and has an easier way to access the camera - just swipe left. If you swipe right you'll find your widget page. Just when Android mostly ditched the widgets on the lockscreen Apple is bringing them back.
The notification area has been redesigned with new bubble-like notifications and widgets. The Control Center is now comprised of two panes - one with toggles and one with music controls. Its design also features bubbles. There is a third Control Center Tab if you are using the new Home app - shortcuts for your home accessories.
Apple has given the 3D Touch a lot more power - you can now glimpse more information from notification or even apps on the homescreen, by using 3D Touch. And if you like what you are seeing, you can snap it as a widget on your brand new Today page (the leftmost homescreen pane).
2. Siri
Siri got its own update with new features. But it's biggest change is the opening Siri to developers. Now it can send messages via non-Apple message clients, it can reserve Uber cars, among others.
It can even search photos through various third-party photo apps, it can make VoIP calls, or send payments.
3. QuickType keyboard
The keyboard has been enhanced with Siri's intelligence and it can now sense what you want to say or answer. It can read through your messages and suggest creating events, share you location, remember your recent addresses, and the best part is it now supports multilingual typing.
4. Photos
The Photos app has learned a few new tricks, which are quite familiar as they have been on Android for years. The app can now show your photos on a map, you sort them by the faces of your friends.
A cool new feature is the AI sorting in Memories, which scans your photos and sorts them in automatic albums by landmarks, animals, people, topics, and various other criteria.
5. Maps
The Maps app is getting a boost with Map layers, smarter and proactive assistance as well. The Maps also supports extensions - it can help you throughout your day by offering the fastest routes by following all the traffic around you and suggesting places nearby. It can also make reservations.
Maps in CarPlay also has some new features like expanding the turn-by-turn navigation to your dashboard display.
6. Apple Music
Apple Music got a new refined interface, which makes easier to find the music you like and organize it.
7. News
The same goes for News - it has a brand new interface. It can also create subtopics for you - i.e. if you like to read about Euro 2016, the News app will automatically create a subcategory for Euro 2016.
The News app supports subscriptions, so you can get all free and paid content in one place - the News app. Breaking News notification on the homescreen are also a novelty brought by the update.
8. Home app with even more powerful Home Kit
Apple wants you to control everything in your home via the new Home app. It supports virtually every popular smart electronic accessory and you can control them all from your iPhone - lamps, bulbs, doors and locks, cameras, air conditioners, fans, outlets, humidifiers, doorbells, among many others.
The Home app supports 3D Touch, which provides scrubbers for, say, volume up/down, or launches a pop-up with live feed to a camera.
Finally, the Control Center now has a third tab with toggles for your most used smart accessories.
9. Phone
Apple has updated the Phone app with some new features. All third-party VoIP apps can now use the same calling screen as your default Phone app. Skype, Viber or other - they all get full-screen notification with a photo, some options and a big answering slider.
In the phonebook you can now choose with what app you want to call a specific number, which is nice.
The Voice Mail now can show you a full transcription of the message if you like. And it can now detect if a message from an unknown number is a spam or not even before it gets into your voicemail.
10. Messages
Finally, the Messages app has been enhanced. First - it supports live GIF and video playback right within the app. Any multimedia that could be played - you can play it within the messaging thread.
Next you get quick access to your photos and live camera feed without leaving the app. The interface looks quite nice and lots of people will appreciate it.
The Emojis are now 3x bigger and you can replace words with Emojis by just tapping on them.
The Bubble Effects we found quite captivating. You can apply different effects to your iMessages, you can even opt for scratch to reveal. There are similar effects available for the full messaging screen (such as fireworks).
The Messages app now supports handwritten messages, too. Digital Touch message option is available as well. You bet stickers are also coming with the new app.
The Messages app is now open to developers, too, so you can expect various mini iMessages apps to pop-up in the App Store and enhance your experience.
And the rest
The iOS 10 has a few more features added to other system apps. The Notes now supports collaboration between different contributors.
The Mail supports conversation view.
The Live Photos are now digitally stabilized and you can edit them if you like.
Finally, the Safari on the iPad gets spiltscreen view.
Privacy
Apple has taken privacy very seriously - the new iOS 10 has end-to-end encryption, all intelligence and suggestions are happening on-device - there is nothing in the cloud or Apple's servers, there is no user profiling, and all privacy data is not shared between apps.
Release
The iOS 10 will be available to any iPhone 5 or later, iPad 4 or later, iPad mini 2 or later, and iPod Touch 6 or later, for free this fall. An open beta will kick off in July, while the developers will get a preview right away.
New MacBook Pros, iOS 10, Apple Watch 2 and the end of OS X
Update:More evidence suggests the change from OS X to MacOS while the MacBook Pro may be getting an OLED touch bar. Read on to find out more!WWDC is Apple's annual Moses moment: it's when developers gather to see what Tim Cook's got on his tablet, and that gathering starts in a few days time.
Apple's WWDC keynote starts on Monday, June 13 at 10AM PST (1PM EST, 6PM BST), and it promises to be one of the more interesting ones for the Cupertino company.
Not only will we likely see new versions of Apple's OSes, but we're expected to be treated to important new hardware refreshes. Here's what we expect to see at WWDC 2016.
MacBook Pro 2016
The MacBook has just been refreshed, so the MacBook Pro is next for an update - and where better to unveil a new Pro laptop range than at your annual developers' conference?
The most obvious update for the MacBook Pro 2016 is to use Intel's Skylake processors, which are already in PC rivals. The move to Skylake is more dramatic than the move to Broadwell processors, which were mainly about improved battery life; Skylake delivers significant speed improvements, plus support for WiGig and WiDi wireless data transfer and wireless charging, although we don't expect to see those features this year.
A redesign might be on the cards too - the design hasn't changed much in eight years - although many Pro users are rather keen on their expansion ports so we might not see a razor-thin MacBook-style Pro just yet (although the rumoredmetal injection molded hinges should cut down on the size). Thinner with USB-C ports and an OLED touch bar, yes. Razor-thin with just one port, probably not.
MacBook Air 2016
The MacBook Air is overdue an update: it's still on Broadwell processors while rivals run faster, more efficient Skylakes, so the announcement of a MacBook Air 2016 is likely.
Multiple reports late last year predicted a "significant refresh" of the Airs in mid-2016 with Retina displays, USB-C, Skylake processors and the end of the 11-inch model, but there's a great deal of uncertainty over the Air's future: does Apple really need to make the Air when it has a range of super-portable Retina MacBooks alongside refreshed MacBook Pros?
We're hearing conflicting reports on this: some say a refresh, the end of the 11-inch and the introduction of a 15-inch Air; others say that the Air is going to be grounded.
Apple Watch 2
A new version of watchOS is inevitable, but leaks suggest that a new, thinner Apple Watch 2 is on the cards as well. That makes sense, as a June announcement would give developers several months to work on apps for an Autumn release.
We don't expect it to look significantly different - there's already an ecosystem of screen protectors, stands and expensive straps, and it's a bit early for Apple to junk that in favor of a new design - but the internals are expected to be significantly improved. The most tantalizing rumor comes via the Wall Street Journal, which says that the Apple Watch 2 will have its own cellular modem.
If true, that means the Watch will become approximately eleventy billion times more useful. We already know that Apple wants all third party apps to run natively on the Watch rather than on the iPhone, something that should make apps run significantly faster; giving those apps a phone-free data connection too would significantly boost their powers.
It's also been rumored that Apple will base its Watch 2 processor on the ARM Cortex A32, which is 25% faster than the current ARM-based processor and offers vastly improved battery life, addressing one of the Watch's biggest issues. The current Apple Watch uses a System on a Chip (SoC) based on the ARMv7 architecture, but the Cortex A32 is based on ARMv8 and was designed specifically for wearable devices.
The Apple Watch 2 may get an improved set of sensors too. Apple has been busily hiring health experts and medical sensor engineers, although Tim Cook has specifically ruled out an FDA-approved Apple Watch. He hasn't ruled out an FDA-approved Apple Watch strap, however, and both patents and rumors say Apple has been working on the idea of sensor-packed Watch straps for greatly improved health monitoring.
The big question over the Apple Watch is whether Apple will release a brand new, significantly improved version this year, or if it'll do an iPhone and release aslightly improved S version - possibly with a FaceTime camera - as a stopgap before a more exciting new model next year. With so many Watch owners getting them as Christmas presents just a few months ago, it may be too soon for Apple to launch a dramatically different model.rt
iOS 10
iOS 10 will get the usual WWDC launch, late Summer beta and Autumn release, and we'd expect it to drop support for the iPad 2 and iPhone 4S, not least because we thought they'd get the bullet last year.
Rumored new features include iCloud Voicemail, where Siri can handle incoming calls and apologise if you can't take them; 3D Touch in a refreshed, customizable Control Center; a Health-style Home app for HomeKit; and possibly multi-user support for iPads.
Our favorite rumor is that in iOS 10 we'll finally be able to remove the stock Apple apps that everybody keeps in a junk folder. The App Store is also getting a revamp to make decent apps easier to find.
iOS 10 could be bad news for jailbreakers and the FBI: Redmond Pie reports that the OS has a new "rootless" security system that will make iPhones and iPads impossible to jailbreak. Apple is also working on stronger iCloud security and encryption and bringing as much as possible of its cloud infrastructure in-house.
Of all the Apple products at WWDC 2016, iOS 10 will be the one getting the most attention: Apple watchers will be checking iOS 10's tea leaves for signs of what's coming in the iPhone 7.
macOS / OS X 10.12
Are we seeing the end of the OS X name? Apple has trademarked lots of Californian place names so it isn't short of successors to El Capitan, but code buried deep inside a file that's been in OS X's System folder since 2015 refers not to OS X, but to macOS - the name Apple used to use for its operating system.
It seems to be more than a retro flashback; OS X doesn't fit with the current Apple OS convention that spans watchOS, tvOS and iOS, and Apple's latest update to its environmental page described MacOS, not OS X. Not only that, but Apple referenced macOS a second time on a developer FAQ page, albeit this time having the moniker begin with a lowercase 'm'.
Whatever it's called, Siri on the desktop is the most likely headline feature in OS X 10.12, with the personal assistant getting a Spotlight-style button on the menu bar and his or her own preference pane. Photos may be getting a revamp too, but most of the changes are under the hood, with Apple focusing once again on performance and battery life.
As with iOS 10 we'd expect Apple to announce OS X 10.12 at WWDC 2016, make it available as a public beta shortly afterwards and release it in the Autumn.
Apple TV
Apple's long-rumored streaming TV service might actually be ready for prime time this year, with Apple doing a Netflix and making some of its own programs.
The service is expected to be available across Apple TV and iOS devices, with an announcement at WWDC 2016 and a launch in September. tvOS isn't due any dramatic updates, although bringing Siri Remote to the iOS app is likely.
Beats Radio
Hands up who wants more Beats radio stations? Apple has trademarked Beats 2 through 5, although as ever with trademarks that doesn't mean it has any plans to use them. Some non-music programming would be interesting, though: we quite fancy an audio equivalent of Apple's News app.
Apple Pay
Apple Pay has been doing some big numbers, and Apple is keen to expand its allure. A person-to-person payment option is apparently in development, and Bank of America, Chase and Wells Fargo have been working on Apple Pay support in their ATMs. That's potentially huge, because Apple Pay is more secure than a PIN and can't be captured by card skimmers.
It may sound insane, but there are Android and iPhone users in this world who are friends and talk with each other. But because iMessage isn't compatible on Google's platform, problems arise. Messages go unseen, group chatter vanishes out of thin air.
During Tim Cook's recent interview on CNBC, he focused on the importance of Apple's popular services for part of the talk, one of which is Apple Music. To take on the other, well-established music streaming services, like Spotify and Google Play Music, it had to try something new: create an Android version.
There's no word on how well the app has performed, but it was certainly a good test bed for future Android applications to come.
Currently, there are over 60 Google-made apps on the App Store and only three made by Apple on the Google Play Store. Maybe, come WWDC, that number will increase ever so slightly with iMessage.
Mac Pro
Remember Darth Vader's dustbin, the inimitable Mac Pro? It's been two years since the last update, and it's looking as if Apple doesn't love it any more. For many people the iMac with Retina 5K display is more than adequate, and much cheaper than a Mac Pro plus a third-party 5K display.
However, the Mac Pro remains Apple's most powerful computer, and for the professionals whose apps can use its horsepower a speed bump courtesy of new, Skylake Xeons would be welcome. We're hoping that the lack of Mac Pro updates is because Apple's working on a really amazing new one, not losing interest in it altogether.
New iPads, new iPhones and the Apple Car
Nope. Apple has just launched the iPhone SE and the iPad Pro 9.7, and while Apple's Project Titan car is the worst kept secret in tech its car plans are targeting a launch date of 2018/19 at the earliest: while Tim Cook has promised amazing innovation from Apple this year, we don't think that means he'll come screaming onto the stage in an Apple Car, pulling handbrake turns and speaking like Jeremy Clarkson. Although it'd be funny if he did.
