Why new iPhone

will be a must-have upgrade
Welcome...
W
elcome to the latest issue of iPad &

iPhone user. After all the excitement
of WWDC things have calmed down
a little this month, so weve decided to take
theopportunity to look at iOS 10.
First off, we compare Apples upcoming mobile
operating system with iOS 9 (page 4) and look at
the differences between the two. And if you cant
wait until the iOS 10s official release in the autumn,
why not become a beta tester? On page 15 we
lookat Applesbeta, while on page 33 we reveal
how iOS10 will benetiPad Pro users.
As its the summer, weve also put together
a guide to iPhone photography. On page 55,
welookat how to quickly harness its cameras
built-in features to capture the best shots.
In recent weeks, youll probably have noticed
an unusual number of people wandering around,
gazing at their iPhones. They, like millions of others
around the globe, are playing the latest gaming
craze Pokmon GO. If you dont know what all
thefuss is about, then we reveal all on page 67.
Plus, weve our usual tips and tutorials, so
youcanget the most out of your iOS device.
We hope you enjoy the issue. Feel free to send
usyour feedback via facebook.com/ipadiphoneuser

ISSUE 109 iPAD & iPHONE USER 3
Head to head:
iOS 9 vs iOS 10
David Price looks at the differences between
Apples two mobile operating systems
OS 10 is on its way. Having been announced at

WWDC 2016, the new OS for iPhone and iPad
will be rolled out to the public in the autumn,
replacing the current software, iOS 9.
But which is the better option for your needs?
Should you update to iOS 10 when it launches
oreven earlier, if youre prepared to act as a
betatester? What are the differences between
iOS9 and 10 what design changes have been
made, what new features have been added, and
which devices can run each of them?
We examine Apples current and future mobile
operating systems, and help you decide which one
is right for you, and whether you should upgrade.
Design and interface

Looking side by side at iOS 9 and 10 in general use,
you may not be able to tell them apart although
this depends on which area of the OS youre
looking at. Apple has redesigned the lock screen,
the search/notication page reached by swiping
from the left of the lock screen, and the Notication
Centre. Other than these, it looks the same.
In landscape orientation the lock screen has
the time and date set to the left instead of justied
centrally (which we think looks nicer), and Apple

has added useful large-type battery charge
information to this text block as well it sits under
the time, and after a moment is replaced by the
date. (Charge is still listed at top-right, but having it
in the main text makes it easier to see at a glance.)
Youll also note that the text cue > slide to
unlockat the bottom has been replaced by
Press Home to open, and indeed the way you
wake up the device has changed. (Most people
with reasonably up-to-date devices will still use
Touch ID, we expect.) And the small camera icon
previous sited at the bottom-right has got smaller
still and now sits bottom-middle. This is intended
to conveythe fact that you dont need to swipe
upwards from the camera icon to jump to the
Camera app any more; you just swipe in from the
righthand edge of the lock screen.
In portrait orientation, the lock screen looks
more familiar the text is justied centrally once
again but the functional differences remain.
More obvious visual differences can be detected
when we swipe in from the left of the lock or Home
screens, summoning the screen that, for lack of
official alternatives, weve grown to call Proactive.
We used to have suggested contacts and apps
on the Proactive screen, as well as shortcuts to
Maps searches for nearby business of various
kinds and summaries of recent News stories.
Those things remain, but they are (in our opinion)
much more attractively laid out, in two columns,
and accompanied by an editable array of widgets,
which have been moved from the swipe-down
Notications Centre.
Notications themselves continue to become

more interactive with each generation of iOS.
Mostof them can be 3D Touched, if youre using
aniPhone 6s or 6s Plus, to get a quick glance
at the vital information; and iOS 10 enables live
updates within the notications themselves,
so youcan open an iMessage notication,
then carryon a conversation there and then,
with livereplies appearing as theyre received,
withouthaving to open the Messages app.
Bear in mind that iOS 10 is still at the

developerpreview beta stage, and its
interfacemayyet evolve in ways we cant
anticipate. But right now, were happy.
Features
When we compare generations of iOS, the
featuressection tends to be a walk-over: the
newerversion of the operating system will
get a bunch of new features (which in most
cases youcan ignore if you dont like them)
and might ditch a couple that Apple doesnt
think have worked out. If it were just a case
of comparingfeatures, iOS 10 would win this
comparison at a canter. Yet there are downsides
toupgrading, which youll nd in other sections.
iOS 10 brings a raft of new features: well over
ahundred, by Apples count, although most
of these are minor tweaks. In this section well
talkabout our highlights.
1. Raise to Wake
This handy and largely self-explanatory feature
(which currently works on the iPhone 6s, 6s Plus
and SE only, sadly it requires an iPhone with
an M9 coprocessor) means that, like the Apple
Watch, an iOS 10-equipped iPhone will light up its
screen and show you the lock screen when you lift
it up. Which makes particular sense given Apples
greater focus on lock-screen information and
interactivity youll actually see the lock screen
on your iPhone now, rather than blasting through
to the unlocked home screen thanks to superfast
second-generation Touch ID.
Theres one other watchOS-esque

feature in iOS 10 that wed like to
mention in passing: the ability to clear
all notications with one tap. Its a tiny
but crucially convenient feature our
watches used to get utterly clogged
up with uncleared notications
(particularly wicket notications
if England had been batting that
day) until we discovered the old
hard-press-to-clear-all trick.
2. Maps destinations
Maps in iOS 10 uses articial
intelligence and everything it knows
about your habits to proactively
suggest destinations it thinks youre
likely to visit at a given time. We love
this idea. Setting out on a car journey is almost
always preceded by a ddly period of postcodesearching and route-checking on the old satnav,
and a bit of smart assistance would be much
appreciated if it works well. Also, Maps will
automatically remember where youve parked,
which is a lovely bit of lateral thinking.
3. Messages
Messages gets a huge overhaul, and now
featuresa wide range of visual often
animatedeffects and gimmicks.
Now, we like only a small proportion of the
effects (invisible ink, which scrambles messages
and images you wish to render mysterious until the
recipient swipes them with a nger, is one of the
nice ones), but thats not quite the point. Most of

this stuff is aimed at younger users, for one thing
(particularly the emoji stuff), and Apples opening
up of Messages to third-party apps means a wave
of additional features should follow, catering for
every possible taste.
4. Home
Apples nally ready for the internet of things,
and Home is the portal app that iPad and iPhone
owners will use to control their array of HomeKitenabled smart-home appliances.
The mere fact of having a universal HomeKit
device controller app on iOS is something to
celebrate, but it looks great and seems well
thoughtout. Weve mentioned elsewhere how
much we like the execution of Scenes, an
admittedly obvious but neatly designed feature
thatgroups together settings for multiple
appliances under a single button: goodnight,
forinstance, might dim the lights, lower the
thermostat, close the curtains, switch on
securitycameras or motion detectors andso on.
5. The ability to delete preinstalled apps

This is something weve looked at in far more
detailelsewhere (How to remove, delete or
hide any app on iPad or iPhone) but yep, iOS
10 will allow you to ditch Stocks and lots of
other Apple-made apps if you dont want them
cloggingup your Home screen.
Its not quite the concession you might think:
the app isnt deleted as such, although associated
user data is deleted, ties to the app from Siri and
so on are severed, and the icon is removed. And
weve still not seen how Apple is going to resolve
the default app arrangement if you delete an app
like Maps or Mail and then tap on an address or
mail link on a website. But its a partial victory that
wevebeen seeking for many years.
6. Advanced predictive typing suggestions

QuickType, the predictive-text system used by
iOSs keyboard to offer words it thinks youre in
the process of typing, is getting cleverer. It can
now access location or contact information held
elsewhere on the system and roll this in with the
rest of its suggestions, responding, for example,
to messages saying, Where are you? or Whats
Donalds email address? with its best guess at
thecorrect answer.
We dont use QuickType much generally
only when were typing a word thats really long
and ourngers get tired halfway through. (Oddly
enough, the often annoying forced corrections
of TextEdit have ended up a far more integrated
aspect of our working routine.) But things like
thiscould make it genuinely useful.
7. Third-party shenanigans: Siri, Messages apps
Apple went against type and talked about
openness at the iOS 8 keynote in 2014, and iOS
10 continues the companys increasing coolness
with the user or their third-party software developer
friends customising the wayiOS behaves.
Siri has been opened up to third-party
development, which means youll be able to
ask non-Apple apps to do their thing - Uber was
one that Apple highlighted in its keynote. And
Messages and Maps will also allow developers
to work within the system: iMessage apps could
allowusers to book takeaways and play games
within message threads, and youll be able
to booka ride with Uber (and pay for the ride
usingApple Pay) without leaving Maps.
Apple is always at its best when

it sheds the straitjacket and allows
third-party devs to (with careful
supervision in order to safeguard
security and privacy) mould the user
experience. Apples huge developer
community is its greatest strength.
Compatible iPads and iPhones

Well get to our verdict on iOS 9 and
iOS 10 in a moment, but you may
have already detected that we feel
pretty well-disposed towards the
new update and its new features
andinterface tweaks. Its in this
section that we talk about the
potential down sides.
iOS 10 is Apples most demanding
mobile OS yet. Some of you will discover that
your iPad, iPhone or iPod touch isnt rated as iOS
10-compatible, and youll have to either upgrade
to a newer device or miss out. Potentially worse,
however, is the situation faced by those who just
squeeze on to the list of iOS 10-ready devices,
make the update, experience noticeable slowdown
and then nd themselves unable to downgrade
to the older OS. In the past Apple has sometimes
been overgenerous in its compatibility lists,
allowing updates by devices that arent up to it.
The following devices are officially rated as
capable of running iOS 10:
iPad 4
iPad Air 1 and 2
9.7in and 12.9in iPad Pro

iPad mini 2, 3 and 4
iPhone 5, 5c, 5s, 6, 6 Plus, 6s, 6s Plus and SE
iPod touch (sixth generation)
But if youve got one of the older models in
any of these elds if youre on an iPad 4, iPad
mini 2, or iPhone 5 or 5c then wed counsel
caution. Waituntil launch date and dont update
until youvegot conrmation from a trusted
source afriend, colleague or media pundit
who explicitly tells you they made the update
onexactlythe same model as you, and that it
hasntcaused any loss of performance.
Verdict
iOS 10 is stuffed to the gills with handy new
features, fun little visual touches, smart interface
tweaks and a couple of entirely new apps, and
were having a great time trying it all out. Maps
is about to get a lot more useful. (And if you
dont like it, you can remove it, and a bunch of
other presintalled apps, from your Home screen.)
Messages is more fun. Raise to Wake is a great
idea. The new Home app is neatly designed and a
pleasure to use. Swift Playgrounds (which we didnt
even get round to discussing) is a great way of
nurturing the app developers of tomorrow.
At time of writing iOS 10 is still in its earliest
publicly testable form. As such, its too early to
give a denitive verdict. Features may be added or
taken away, bugs may be discovered or removed,
design changes may be made or reversed. But at
the moment its looking pretty much essential.
Feature: Guide
to iOS 10 beta
Susie Ochs reveals everything you need to know
ow, a beta is a beta. Dont get swept up in

the excitement and forget that this software
isnt nal and could have bugs, so you
might want to think twice about putting it on your
everyday iPhone. That said, developers are on
their second beta of iOS 10 and we havent heard
about any major problems, so if youre feeling
brave, heres how to get the beta and what you
canexpect when you do.
What is the
iOS 10 beta?
Apple has a
Beta Software
Program
(tinyurl.com/
pkmbuxz) that
started with
OS X 10.10
Yosemite
and is now
providing
betas of
macOS Sierra.
iOS 10 is
the second
versionof iOS
that is available as a public beta before last years

launch of the iOS public beta program, you had
to join the developer program for $99 (per year)
to get prerelease versions of iOS. The public beta
lets youavoid that expense, and will make it easier
toinstall the beta too.
Keep in mind that this is prerelease software
its close to being ready for release, but it still
needs testing. You might see bugs, your iPhone
or iPad could crash more often, and some of
yourapps and services might not work.
What to do before installing the beta

Back up. Back up your device I recommend a
tethered backup to iTunes with the Encrypt this
backup box checked, so you wont have to log in
to all your apps and services again if you should
need to restore from this backup. An encrypted
backup saves all your Health data too. Again,
Apple recommends you install the iOS 10 beta
onasecondary device.
How to sign up
You just head to the Beta Software Program page
and express interest by signing in with your Apple
ID and password. You also have to agree to the
terms and enrol your iOS device.
How to enrol your device

Once you log in to the Beta Software Program
page, youll see a link to Enrol your iOS device.
Apple will remind you to make a backup (seriously,
you really, really have to back up back up to
iTunes, and Apple recommends you archive the
backup to make sure its saved), and then youre

instructed to go to beta.apple.com/prole on
the iOS device that you want to put the beta on,
in order to download and install a conguration
prole. That will make the beta available as an
over-the-air software update in the Settings app.
Supported devices
Theres some bad news: iOS 10 doesnt support
some of the older devices that are compatible with
iOS 9. The iPhone 4s, second- and third-gen iPads,
the original iPad mini, and the fth-generation
iPod touch are all being left behind. Its kind of a
bummer: my third-gen iPad, purchased just four
years ago, was still hanging on until I gave it away
a month ago. It had denitely slowed down, and it
couldnt take advantage of any of the iPad-related
productivity features included in iOS 9. But still,
fouryears isnt that old, even as hardware goes.
Take a look at our list on page 13 and 14 to see

ifyou can even put the public on your device.
How to protect your

data while running iOS 10
Back up and keep backing up. Back up your
photos, and not just your Camera Roll. Someone
sends you a cute photo or video in a text? Save itto
your Camera Roll so you can back it up. Basically
you dont want to have any les that are stored only
on your iPhone or iPad running the beta. Everything
should exist in another location too.
Since so much of what we do with our iPhones
is cloud-based, you might not keep a ton of
documents stored locally on your iPhone, and it
can be easy to forget to back up. So give it some
thought. Look at the apps you use do they store
things in your Dropbox, in your iCloud Drive, or
in another cloud location? You should be okay.
But les you create on your device photos and
videosspring to mind, but there might be more
need to be backed up often.
How to install updates to the beta

Apple will update the iOS 10 public beta a few
times before the nal version ships. But updating
it is easy you can update over the air in the
Settings app, or use iTunes. Its always a good
ideato back up before updating, of course.
Can you go back to

iOS 9 if something goes wrong?
Yes you can (see page 91). It requires erasing your
device rst, soyou better believe youll need a
backup. Youll just connect your iPhone or iPad to

your Mac, put itin recovery mode, and restore it
to the backup you made before you installed iOS
10. So yes, you really do need to do a backup to
iTunes before you install iOS 10s public beta.
When does the nal version ship?

In the autumn typically its right around the
timethe new iPhones come out, which has
traditionally been the second week of September.
(We at iPad &iPhone User dont know what Apples
plans are for this year, but thats been the pattern
lately.) When the nal version drops, people
running the public beta will be able to upgrade to
it and shouldnt lose any data. Especially if theyve
backed everything up just in case, which Im sure
youre sick of hearing me tell you by now.
Feature: Should
you install iOS 10?
There are reasons to go for it and reasons
to wait. Susie Ochs looks at your options
ets cut right to the chase: The people who will

enjoy the iOS 10 beta the most are iPhone 6s
or 6s Plus users who dont rely heavily on the
Maps app, which is now a battery hog. If you have
a device without 3D Touch, or an iPad that isnt
an iPad Pro, the benets of iOS 10 are a little less,
which makes waiting for the nal release (or even,
say, 10.01) all the more tempting.
Dont get me wrong: The rst developer beta
of iOS 10 was relatively stable, and the rst public
beta is too. The biggest bugs Ive personally
encountered were annoying but not deal-breakers:
Maps crashing during navigation, Maps not ending
the navigation when I arrive, alarms that dont want
to turn off (quite embarrassing when it happens in

an open-plan office), and a weird graphical glitch
where occasionally the lockscreen-accessible
camera would only take up half the screen
insteadof the whole thing.
Ive been running the betas on an iPhone SE
on loan from Apple, which I use as my daily carry
phone. In my bag is an iPhone 6s that I bought
oninstalments, still running iOS 9, ready for me
toswap in my SIM card if I run into trouble with
theSE. Hasnt happened aside from those
bugsImentioned and generally worse battery
life,iOS 10 has been great. But while I didnt
usedto think the iPhone SEs lack of 3D Touch
was a big deal, iOS 10 is showing it to be a
prettysignicant weakness.
Just a 3D Touch
iOS 10s biggest difference over iOS 9 is how
muchyou can do without opening apps. Some
apps will be able to integrate with Siri, so you
could, say, call a car without having to launch Lyft.
Notications are getting richer, letting you 3D
Touch to get more information or take action.
And the widgets that used to be conned to the
Today view in Notication Center are now also on
the Spotlight screen you see when swiping right
from the lock screen or home screen. Widgets let
you get information at a glance without opening
apps, like the next hours forecast from Dark Sky,
progress toward your activity goals, your next
calendar appointment.
Widgets are just as handy no matter what phone
you have. But getting them is done differently. On
Without 3D Touch, you can still see

the enhanced notications, but
swiping and tapping View is a lot
clunkier than a single deep-press
an iPhone 6s or 6s Plus, you can 3D Touch app

icons to get Quick Actions, which are shortcuts
to various places inside the app that feature
launched with iOS 9. In iOS 10, hard-pressing app
icons shows any Quick Actions plus a widget
for that app, if available, and you can add the
widgettoyour Spotlight screen from there.
If you have an iPhone SE, 6, or any iPad, of
course you dont have 3D Touch. You can still see
the enhanced, actionable notications by swiping
one left and tapping View, but that doesnt feel
much more convenient than just tapping the
notication itself to open the app. And you can
addwidgets to the line-up by scrolling to the
bottom of the Spotlight screen and tapping Edit
for a list of available widgets, but thats the same
process as iniOS 9.
Maps looks great, but at a cost

Apple redesigned its Maps app for iOS 10. The
new one is good looking and easy to use. I put
it through its paces on a Midwestern vacation in
which we stayed in four cities over eight nights
yeah, thats a lot of driving. Maps handled
freeways and country roads alike, and never
steered me wrong or couldnt nd an address I
inputted. It just crashed a lot.
When it wasnt crashing, Maps made my iPhone
SE very hot to the touch, and had a noticeable
effect on battery life. Plus, sometimes Id get to
my destination, but the navigation session didnt
automatically end. Id glance at my Apple Watch
after being somewhere a while, and notice, oops,
its still trying to direct me here, with the GPS
running and draining battery life by the minute. I
Maps looks good, but itll be even

better when it doesnt crash so often
or drain the battery quite so fast
had to get in the habit of tapping End Route upon

arrival if the navigation didnt stop on its own.
The Maps app itself is great. The maps are clear
and easy to read. The interface isnt cluttered at all.
You see the arrival time as well as the minutes and
miles to go, and from there you can swipe up for
buttons to nd gas stations, food, or coffee along
the route, an Overview button that shows the whole
route on a map, a Details button that shows a list
of upcoming turns, and an Audio menu. One nice
touch here is a new setting to pause spoken audio
(like podcasts or audiobooks) during navigational
prompts. Previously, the prompts would just dim
the audio below them, which is ne for music but a
bummer when its talking over a podcast and you
need to scrub back to hear what was said.
So the design is solid, the data was solid in my
testing, and the bugs I encountered felt typical of
beta software. Im condent Apple can surely x
them with updates. But if you rely on the Maps
app frequently, you might want to hold off on iOS
10 until the ride is a little less bumpy. Well have a
deeper dive on Maps early next week.
Verdict
If putting a beta of iOS 10 on your everyday iPhone
seems too risky, slapping it on your iPad might be a
safer bet. Youll get to play with the new Messages
app, the new lock screen widgets, and the
redesigned Photos, News, and Music. But iOS 10 is
curiously light on iPad-specic features, especially
if you dont have an iPad Pro or at least an iPad
Air 2 (which can do Split View). Beta software is
fun, but a little risky to put on devices you rely on
every day. If you have an iPhone 6s or 6s Plus, and

you dont mind some app crashes here and there,
thinof the public beta like a training session for the
new gestures and navigation shortcuts. By the time
it launches to everyone else in the fall, youll be a
3D Touch ninja.
Even the bugs I encountered in Maps in iOS 10
while navigating the wilds of Kent didnt hamper my
experience. Im glad I put the beta on my everyday
iPhone (even without 3D Touch), and I have no
desire to roll back to iOS 9. But theres no shame in
waiting, especially if you dont want to have to be
hypervigilant about backing up your devices just in
case of disaster. iOS 10 will be fully ready to shake
up all of our lock screens soon enough.
Feature: 10 tips for iOS 10

Lucy Hattersleys tips and tricks will ensure you
get the most out of iOS 10s new features
1. Swipe left and right on the Home screen
When you rst install iOS 10, youll be presented
with a new Home screen. We nd this change the
most jarring, unlocking our iPhone and iPad has
mostly remained the same process: swipe right
andenter your passcode.
With Touch ID now rmly entrenched on all new
Apple devices, Apples decided that the swipe to
unlock gesture is no longer required. Instead, you
can swipe right to access a Widgets window (similar
to Notications in iOS 9), and swipe left to access
Camera. These gestures are more intuitive than

the current ones, but itll take a while it to become
instinctive. As for unlocking the iPhone, you now
press the Home button in and keep your nger
held on the button for Touch ID.
2. Customise your widgets

The Widgets window displays app information on
your Home screen (without having to unlock your
phone. By default it displays weather, time and
information from Calendar, News, Music, Batteries
and Reminders as well as Siri App Suggestions. Tap
any option to open the associated app (you may
be asked to use Touch ID or Enter Passcode). You
can manage the widgets by tapping the Edit button.
Here you can add, or remove items, and move
Widgets between the left columns on the iPad.
3. Remove stock apps

Apple has nally bowed to the wishes of its
customers and is allowing you to remove its
stockapps from the Home screen.
There are a few exceptions. Find iPhone and
Feedback are locked, as is Playground on our
iPad for some reason. But you can get rid of
AppleMaps, FaceTime, Calendar and even the
iTunes Store if you want.
Apps you have removed can be reinstalled
fromthe App Store. Open the App Store app
and search for the app.
4. Sketch in Messages
The ability to sketch out messages was rst
introduced on the App Watch. Its a fun feature, but
bound to nd many more fans now that Apple is
bringing it to the iPad and iPhone. Open Messages

and tap the Sketch icon (shaped as a heart with two
ngers). Draw on the black rectangle and itll be
sent to the other person. Its sent as an animation,
so they see your nger sketching it out as it goes.
5. Bedtime in Clock
The Clock app has a new feature, called Bedtime.
Bedtime sets a recurring wake-up alarm, and a
gentle reminder when its time to go to bed. Open
Clock and tap Bedtime > Get Started. Bedtime
asks what time you want to wake up, tap next and
deselect the days the alarm should not go off.
6. Split Safari windows

One of the most welcome new features is the ability
to open two Safari windows side-by-side on an iPad.
If you have multiple tabs open, drag one down from

the Tab bar and to the right of the screen, itll slot
into place in Split View. Drag its tab back to the left
to return to a single tabbed view. You can also tap,
and hold, on a link and choose Open In Split View.
7. Memories in Photos
Few apps have had as big a shot in the arm in iOS
10 as Photos. Open Photos and youll see a new
option called Memories. This automatically creates
Photo albums. Youll see the Best of Last Month,
and Best of Last Three Months. Below that will be
albums of places or events.
8. Better Maps app

Maps has had another refresh in iOS 10, as Apple
continues to create an app that truly rivals Google
Maps. It has a new, much cleaner, interface that

makes options easier to access. Theres a lot of
new features too. It now features traffic information
on route, and displays alternative routes as you
drive. A new Dynamic View mode shows what
traffic conditions look like. Theres also an option
to nd things along the way, like supermarkets or
petrol stations. One handy feature is that Apple
Maps automatically remembers where you parked
your car. Another interesting touch is that Search
now pulls in places youve looked for in Google
andGoogle Maps. So it feels a lot more integrated
with your search history. Cunning.
9. Control Centre
The Control Centre has been split into two
windows, making it less baffling to the eyes. Slide
up from the bottom of the screen and youll see

options, screen brightness, AirPlay and AirDrop
(as well as shortcuts to Camera and Clock). Swipe
to the left and youll move over to media controls,
volume controls, and an AirPlay list.
10. Playgrounds and Home

Two new apps were installed by default on our
iPadrunning iOS 10. The rst is Home, which allows
you to interact with smart connected devices on
your network. Nothing seems ready for it yet, but
well keep an eye on it as the Beta rolls out.
The second is Playgrounds, which is an
interactivecode learning environment. We were
surprised to nd this automatically installed, but
itsgreat fun and a good game (even if you dont
code). Be sure to look at both of them.

Minor but necessary tweaks are coming to the iPad Pro this
September. Caitlin McGarry gives us a sneak preview
he iPad Pro is a productivity powerhouse or

at least, thats what Apple wants it to be. The
12.9in Pro was released last November, and
the 9.7in model debuted in March, so we werent
expecting to see any new hardware at Apples
Worldwide Developers Conference in June. But
we were hoping Apple would add some iPad-only
features in iOS 10 that would x a few problems
andmake the Pros even more awesome, or at
least show off some new partner apps that take
advantage of all that screen real estate.
Alas, the iPad was a footnote in iOS 10s parade

of features. The device gets most of the good stuff,
like the revamped Messages app, a new lock screen
with rich notications, and smarter Photos, but the
iPad-only tweaks are just that: minor changes.
Of course, its entirely possible that Apple will
add more functionality for the iPad in future beta
releases, because beta software is a work in
progress. Apple has until September to listen to
feedback from developers and the public. I put
theiOS 10 developer beta on a 12.9in iPad Pro to
see the tablet-specic features in action.
1. Mail and Notes get three-pane interface

I really dig the giant iPad Pro, but not a lot of apps
make good use of that massive display. iOS 10
brings a three-pane interface to Mail and Notes on
the 12.9in model, and its so useful that I hope Apple
will open up that functionality to developers so I can
have the same multitasking abilities in Outlook.
To view all three panes, turn your big Pro

from portrait to landscape mode and tap a new
multi-pane icon on the top left of your screen and
watch the app expand. Youll only see this icon in
Notes and Mail, and only on the 12.9in Pro. If you
have a lot of email to wrangle or a slew of notes
in variousfolders (as you can see below, I clearly
dont), the new view will go a long way toward
helping you stay organised.
2. Split View nally comes to Safari tabs

Multitasking on the iPad Pro is supposed to be
easy.But one way I multitask on my Mac is by
having a few web browser windows open at once
soI can compare notes without toggling between
tabs. Now I can easily do that on the iPad with
SplitView for Safari tabs, new in iOS 10.
Press and hold the tab you want to put in its own
window, then drag it to the left or right side of the
screen. The original window will shrink and a grey
space will appear next to it. Drop the tab into the
grey space and itll expand to ll half the screen.
When youre done with Split View, grab the bar

and move it back to a tab in the main window.
3. Split View
When I rst discovered the new Split View support
in the iPad version of the Music app, I thought:
Who needs this? Well, if you love music and are
constantly researching new artists, albums, and
songs, being able to search for tunes in the Music
app while reading reviews or music reviews on
Safari is incredibly useful. For example, I was
browsing through NPRs list of best albums of 2016
(so far, at least) with Apple Music open in Split View.
Tapping on each albums Apple Music link would
pull up the album right next to the Safari article, so I
could easily save records I hadnt listened to yet to
my library or play them on the spot.
4. Everything is big in Music and News

Apple redesigned the Music and News apps for
iOS 10 with an emphasis on interface simplicity and
bigger, bolder images and fonts. As you can see,
bigger is denitely better.
The iPad Music app puts the navigation bar on

the bottom left and your Now Playing bar on the
bottom left, so you can easily toggle between
your library, recommended playlists, and new
music while still seeing the song thats currently

on. Tapping on the Now Playing bar will bring up
the Now Playing window as a transparent overlay
on the right third of the app, so you dont have to
navigate away fromthe main window to view more
information about the song, save it to a playlist, or
see whats coming up next.
News looks dramatically different in iOS 10, too. I
prefer to browse through publications like the New
York Times on my iPad instead of my iPhone, and
the new navigation tabs and super-sized images
look amazing on the 12.9in Pro.
5. Landscape lock screen changes

When you wake your iPad in landscape mode,
youll notice it looks a little funny. All the text
hasbeen forced to the left, as you see.
Why is that? Well with iOS 10, your iPad lock
screen will display rich notications to the left and
any media youre playing on the right. Its an easy
way to see all the information you need without

even touching your iPad.
6. Swift Playgrounds is iPad-only

Were doing a deep dive with Swift Playgrounds
soon, but this iPad-specic app coming in iOS 10 is
designed to teach kids or beginners how to code
in Apples Swift programming language. The app

even has a specic coding keyboard for shortcuts
and Swift characters. The code you write in Swift
Playgrounds can be exported as Xcode and turn
into a real iOS app. Stay tuned as we put this app
through its paces in an upcoming piece.
7. iPad becomes HomeKit hub

iOS 10 nally makes your iPhones and iPad integral
to controlling your HomeKit accessories with
the launch of a new Home app. It works across
iOS, tvOS, and watchOS, so you can control your
connected home from anywhere. If you have an
iPad that never leaves your house, it can serve as
the central HomeKit hub for your family with iOS
10. Open your iPad Settings and make sure iCloud
keychain is turned on, then stay in Settings and
tapon Home. There youll see the option to use
theiPad as a Home hub. Toggle it on.
Then you can add HomeKit accessories and

arrange them by room. Well do a deep dive into
how this works in a future piece. Now you dont
haveto buy an Apple TV or a third-party hub
withiOS 10 on the iPad.
8. New Smart Keyboard tricks

There are two new minor shortcuts for iPad Pro
users with Smart Keyboards that will make life a
tiny bit easier. Now when you tap Cmd+Tab on
the keyboard to pull up the app switcher overlay,
theres a new home screen option on the far right
tonavigate back to the main screen.
The second is a feature that lets the Pro mimic
theMac: Press Cmd-Shift-3 on the keyboard to
takea screenshot on your iPad.
Its likely the iPad, particularly the Pro models,
will see improvements in dot releases of iOS 10, if
not the rst version that rolls out in September.

Messages in iOS 10
Emoji, visual effects and third-party integrations make
Messages more than a texting app. Oscar Raymundo reports
pple worked for a year on a new le

system,but according to Craig Federighi,
every time wed add a couple new
emoji,itwould be the biggest thing. So, in iOS
10 emojis are three times bigger. Not only that,
but Apple added a handful of visual tricks to
Messages,and transformed iMessage into a
platform for third-party apps.
Needless to say, theres a lot
you can do in the new Message,
so lets get started. These features
have been made available via the
iOS 10 public beta, but we expect
them to get rened before the
nal iOS release this autumn.
In addition, the recipient will
also need to have installed iOS
10 in order to view most of these
messages in all their eye-popping
glory. Otherwise they show up as
regular text with a description of
what the visual should have been,
like (sent with reworks). Not
nearly as captivating. And Android
users wont be able to experience
these visual effects at all.
Emoji nation
When Apple announced that emojis in iOS 10
wouldbe three times bigger during WWDC, the
crowd cheered. In order to get the super-sized
versions, however, you have to send an message
containing only emojis. Adding text shows
regular-sized emojis.
On top of that, Messages has a new emoji
replacement tool for converting keywords into
corresponding emojis. For example, the text I love
monkeys turns into I all you have to do is
compose your message and then tap on the emoji
button. Then tap on the highlighted keywords to
choose from the corresponding emojis.
Bubble and full-screen effects

If sending an emojied message is not enough to
grab your friends attention, you can rely on all-new
bubble effects and full-screen visuals. After typing

your message, press down on the blue up-arrow on
the right of the input eld. That will take you a send
with effect page where you can slide up to select
your text to appear as Gentle like a whisper, Loud
as if youre yelling, or Slam down on the screen.
Here, you can also choose Invisible Ink to send
a hidden message or photo that the recipient can
reveal by swiping away the particles.
Toggle from these bubble effects to screen
effects to send your message with a full-screen
animation. Swipe between sending with balloons,
confetti, lasers, reworks or shooting star. The
effects appear for a few seconds when the
recipient opens the message. Lasers, reworks,
andshooting star also come with sound. After
youve selected an effect, you can press the blue
up-arrow again to send or the x to cancel.
Digital Touch
A feature that originated on the Apple Watch has
come to iOS 10. Tap on the icon with the heart and
the two ngers that sits on the right of the input
eld to access Digital Touch. Here, you can doodle

and insert animations on either a black canvas or
on a photo or video. Select from seven colours on
the right of the canvas and you can use one nger
to sketch, hold two ngers to create a beating
heart, tap gently to create a vanishing circle made
out of particles, tap with two ngers to create lips,
drag down with two ngers to create a broken
heart, and press down to create a glowing burst.
You can tap on the camera icon on the left to add
all these animations to a sele, too.
Just be aware that as soon as you let go of
your ngers on the black canvas, the animation
will be sent to the recipient, so make sure you
have a clearvision of what you want to create
before putting pen to paper, or nger to screen
in this case. These animated cards show up on
the AppleWatch, as well, as long as its running
the latest watchOS 3. They show up as still
attachmentson iOS 9.
Handwriting
Digital Touch is not the only way you can use your
nger to express yourself in the new Messages.
Turn your iPhone horizontally to landscape mode,
and youll be able to use handwriting. Here, you
can select from seven pre-populated handwritten
messages like happy birthday and thinking of
you. Or you can just keep the font and create your
own message by tapping Clear towards the top.
If the recipient has installed iOS 10 as well, these
messages are displayed stroke by stroke, as if they
had been handwritten in real-time. The ink also
has a drying effect for an authentic pen-on-paper
feel. If the recipient has iOS 9, these handwritten
messages show up as still attachments.
App Store and third-party integrations

Perhaps the most profound change iOS 10 brings
to Message is the integration of third-party
integrations, turning iMessage into a platform.
Access your iMessage app drawer by tapping
on the icon right next to the input eld on the
left. The launch iMessage apps include Recents,

Music, andImages. As with iOS apps, you can
press downon them to make them wiggle and
rearrangethem or delete them.
Recents displays your recently-sent messages,
whether its a Digital Touch creation or a
handwritten message. Music lets you share your
most recently played song from Apple Music
thatwill play in-line (more on that in the next
section). Images lets you search the web for
photos, videos, and GIFs. The image search
results are powered by Bing, and they seemed
pretty comparable to the GIF searches in
GooglesGboard iOS keyboard.
When introducing iMessage apps at WWDC,
Apple showed off integrations from DoorDash
to create a group food order and Disney to send
Donald Duck stickers. But in the public beta, the
launch integrations are underwhelming. You can
tap on the Store to get four more integrations
Smileys, Classic Mac, Hearts, and Hands but
these are all apps for even more stickers. There is
no Venmo app, no Dropbox app, and no bots... yet.

But that is the promise of iMessage as a platform.
Theres an option to automatically add
iMessageintegrations from iOS apps you install,
which could come in handy as more third-party
services create messaging extensions in the
future.We can also see iMessage apps replacing
some third-party keyboards for iOS, especially
keyboards whose sole function is sending GIFs
orspecial emoji, such as Kimoji.
Media and visual links

Lastly, Messages in iOS 10 has redesigned the
way you attach media, whether its a photo in
yourcamera roll or a video youve recorded in-app
on the spot. Tap on the camera icon and the
keyboard becomes a media hub with a viewnder
for taking photos or video right there and then.
Youcan continue browsing your camera roll by
swiping left, or launch the Camera app or Photo
Library by swiping right.
Also, when you send a URL to an article on
the Web, Messages automatically turns it into a
previewwith a headline and image pulled from
the link. Similarly, you can send a link to YouTube
or Vimeo and have the recipients watch
the video in-line. You can also play
tracks from Apple Music without leaving
Messages. Theres actually an iMessage
app for sharing songs from Apple Music.
In fact, every URL we sent showed up
as a visual link, even Spotify tracks,
although much to no ones surprise,
youre not ableto play those in-line.

iOS10s new lock screen
You can now interact with your iPhone or iPad
without even unlocking it, reveals Caitlin McGarry
here are tons of changes coming in iOS 10,

but the most dramatic, immediately visible
change is happening on your lock screen.
Nothing works the way it did before. Things are
about to get weird, but well get through it together.
Raise to Wake
If you have a new iPhone 6s,
6s Plus or SE the changes will
appear instantly. When you pick
up your phone, your screen will
wake to display the time. Its a
small change, one already in
use on the Apple Watch (and on
Android phones), but it eliminates
the pain point of having to press
abutton just to see the time.
Relearning how to swipe

The launch of Touch ID made
Slide to Unlock, a now-quaint
feature that delighted audiences
when the iPhone debuted, a little
unnecessary. Slide to Unlock was
still essential in rare cases when
Touch ID failed (if your hands
The
Spotlight
screen in
iOS 9 (left)
versus the
overhauled
screen in
iOS 10 (right)
were damp or you were wearing gloves), but now

its gone. In iOS 10, you press the Home button to
unlock your device with a passcode if Touch ID
doesnt work. Its a little awkward to unlearn this
ingrained behaviour.
Now when you swipe right, youll see a
completely overhauled Spotlight section with
customisable widgets where Siris suggested apps
and contacts, nearby locales, and news headlines
once lived. The smarter Spotlight section we were
promised in iOS 9 comes to life in iOS 10. But more
on that in a second.
Youll also notice theres no more Camera icon
on the lock screen. Instead of swiping up from that
icon to jump into the Camera, your new shortcut is
a swipe left on the lock screen. Its just as easy, but
again, its a new behaviour to learn.
Swiping down on the lock screen is still the way
to jump into your Notication Center, but you can
access the Spotlight screen of widgets from that

view, too (its the Today tab in Notication Center,
just no longer labelled Today). Anywhere you
go, the Spotlight screen will be there. And thats
wherethe widgets are.
Widgets, widgets everywhere

iOS already had widgets, but iOS 10 takes them
to the next level. Apple took the same widgets
from the Today tab when you swipe down to view
your Notication Center and put them on the
Spotlight screen. Now those widgets are accessible
anywhere you are from the lock screen, from the
home screen, or from the Notication Center.
Like before, third-party apps make their own
widgets, so you dont have to install anything
extra.Just tap Edit at the bottom of the Spotlight
screen to add, remove, and rearrange widgets
instead of doing that from the Today tray in the
Notication Center.
You can easily

add, remove, and
reorder widgets
Rich notications bring the action

Apple has been working to make notications
more actionable since iOS 8, and in iOS 9, you
could nally reply to a text message directly
inside a notication, or mark a Reminders task
ascompleted. With iOS 10, notications are
evenmore interactive.
Apple is calling the redesigned notication
banners that pop up on your lock screen rich
notications, because you dont have to open an
app to interact with them. Third-party developers
are experimenting with rich notication interactions
now, and we saw a hint of whats to come during
Apples Worldwide Developers Conference
keynotewith a sample Uber notication, which
shows you the map of your drivers route and
allows you to call your driver or cancel the
requestwithout ever jumping into the Uber app.
Apple has already added the functionality
to its built-in apps. For instance, when you
receive aCalendar invite, you can view all the
details andaccept or decline the event directly
inside thenotication right on your lock screen.
Messageswere interactive on the lock screen
starting in iOS 9, so you could quick reply to
a text directly from a notication. But now you
canview an entire message thread directly
insideanotication banner.
Rich notications are most powerful on 3D
Touch-enabled devices the 6s, 6s Plus, and
whatever iPhone is released in September
because notications become interactive when
you deep press on them. But Apple is beta testing
how rich notications can work on older devices.
3D Touch a
notication (or
swipe left and
tap View if you
dont have 3D
Touch) to see
the whole thread
and even reply,
without having to
fully launch the
Messages app
Currently, you can interact with a rich notication

by swiping left on it to see additional options, like
Close and View, which gives you the expanded
view that 3D Touch users would see by deeppressing. To be honest, having to swipe and tap
is lame compared with the 3D Touch functionality
built into notications, but I guess thats just
Applenudging us to buy new devices.
Still in beta
iOS 10 makes your iPhone and iPad useful
directlyfrom the lock screen, no passcode
required. That brings up its own set of privacy
issues, though you can prevent people from
seeingnotications on your locked device by
toggling off Notications View under Settings
> Touch ID & Passcode > Allow access when
locked.Or just head to Settings > Notications,
andtweak the settings to prevent sensitive apps
from sending notications to the lock screen at
all,while still letting other notications through.
Feature: Make your

summer photos amazing
Jackie Doves tips will help you capture the great
outdoors with your iPhone this summer
potting great photo opportunities is a talent

in itself, but knowing how to quickly harness
your iPhone cameras built-in features to
capture the best shots is an entirely different skill.
Your iPhone is the camera you always have in
your hand, but sometimes inspiration fails around
the same old point-and-shoot methods. Sure,
there are plenty of ways to enhance your
camera with specialized iPhone lenses or
tripods, but you dont need extra hardware
to get great shots. Just sticking with the
built-in camera and assorted photo apps can
give you some uniquely standout memories.
Here are some hints on how to achieve them.
1. Shoot in 360 degrees

With the rise of 360-degree cameras,
interactive spherical shots are becoming
increasingly popular both to view and to
create without spending hundreds of
poundson a dedicated camera.
To capture a 360-degree landscape that you
can view on the desktop, via a mobile device, or
through a VR viewer, just re up your Camera app
or one of the several 360-degree apps available
in the App Store. Facebooks new 360-degree
An interactive 360-degree
shot uploaded from the
Panorama app and viewed
on the desktop in Google+
photo feature automatically converts a conventional

panorama shot with the iPhones native Camera
app into a 360-degree image that viewers can
explore directly in their Facebook timeline.
With Google Street View for iOS, you get stepby-step instructions on how to create and post a
Google Street View, 360 Panorama, and DMD Panorama are among
several apps available that facilitate mobile 360-degree immersive images
360-degree image, which you can then upload to

Google Maps, your Facebook page, or Google+.
Just launch the app and follow the prompts to ll
in the required number of panels. The app will
stitch a pleasing photo sphere image that you can
manipulate with a mouse or nger. You dont have
to stick with the iPhone Camera or Googles app.
DMD Panorama (1.99), 360 Panorama (1.49) and
others offer detailed instructions on how to shoot
and post 360-degree images.
2. Shoot panoramas
Panoramas are an excellent way to capture
extremewide-angle shots with your iPhone.
Just launch the Camera app and hold the phone
uprightin portrait orientation. When you hit the
button, hold the phone with both hands and
steadily move it inone direction, following the
arrow prompt. Note any messages on the screen
and beware of moving too quickly.
Try to lock the exposure at a medium brightness
in the landscape where the light is optimal before
you tap the shutter button, otherwise you risk
combining different exposures as the camera
appadjusts to various points in the scene.
Panoramas can be vertical too, and are shot
the same easy way, except that you hold the
phonein landscape orientation as you move.

To nish shooting the scene, just tap the start
button again or move the phone slightly in the
oppositedirection.
3. Make your landscapes compelling

Wide vista landscapes are a perennial favorite of
both photographers and viewers, but they are often
a photographic challenge. Here are some simple
composition tips to make your scenic image pop.
Always pick a main subject to focus on. A picture
of a lake surrounded by trees and shimmering
water can be an awesome sight to behold, but all
too often it fails to come across in a photo because
the cameras lens does not take in all the majesty
that your brain does. To compensate, focus on
something a bird, a person, a boat some object
that contrasts with the scene, generates interest,
and guides the viewers eye around the tableau.
Try using the iPhones built-in grid guide (Settings
> Photos & Camera > Grid) that lets you apply
the Rule of Thirds to help you convey the scenic
beautyyoure after.
Another technique, called leading lines, lets
you use the natural landscape to cut a visual path
through your composition, making the main vista
both dynamic and easy to follow.
For gorgeous landscapes, apps such as

ProCamera (3.99) and Manual both offer
highlycustomisable and precise controls
for ISO,shutter speed, white balance, focus,
exposure,and more.
4. Dramatise your skies

Clouds are your photographic friends. Every
landscape is enhanced by cloud formations
because they provide unique points of interest
andcontrast. You dont have to wait for bad
weather to get great-looking clouds. Just start
witha cloud pattern that has some potential.
Make the most of cloud patterns by employing
the Rule of thirds, giving your sky the top
two-thirdsof the action.
Then, tap the HDR (High Dynamic Range) setting
on the Camera app screen. That lets you capture
more detail in the shadows and highlights than
using the default setting. Slight tweaks in either the
mobile or desktop Photos app can easily enhance

a sky after the fact too, but you can even take the
drama a step further with dedicated photo apps
such as JixiPixs Simply HDR iPhone app (1.49).
Thats not to put down clear blue skies, not at
all. While they may not seem inherently dramatic
to look at, a pure, unadulterated cerulean hue,
the kind that really brings out your subject, can
beheart-stopping.
5. Be at one with wildlife

If you love the great outdoors, photographing
wildlife is just part of the scenery. While getting a
bird to sit still for a pose will take some effort, try
your luck with Canada geese, ducks, alligators,
peacocks, deer, and farm animals.
You may be tempted to use your iPhones digital
zoom to close in on feathers or fur, but you will
likely be disappointed with the results. Instead
of zooming in, get up as close and personal to
your animal subject as possible without putting
yourself in harms way, of course. (Beware of

geese, alligators, and elk especially, but any animal
you dont know can react badly to close human
proximity.) Then, when you are at a good distance,
circle the creature in order to capture a variety of
angles. Use the cameras burst mode so you dont
miss a shot. Make sure to use your exposure and
focus lock and try to zone in on the animals eyes
for depth and realism, if possible.
6. Explore colours, shapes, and patterns

Phone cameras may not be the best choice for
capturing expansive landscapes, but they are
hard to beat for exploring colour and detail. Not
all images have to be about something or of a
specic object. The best part of the outdoors is the
seasonal colours, so consider capturing natures
natural charm beautiful foliage, owers, leaf
patterns or shadows for its own abstract sake.
Get up close to your subject and shoot from
different angles to capture intriguing natural
patterns. For darker environments, a judicious
useof ash may come in handy.
7. Use silhouettes
Silhouettes can dramatise just about any animate
or inanimate subject, and theyre super-easy to
accomplish. To create one, just look for the light
source and position your subject in front of it. You
can shoot silhouettes at any time of day, but the
most dramatic time for outdoor silhouettes is when
the sun is low in the sky, around sunrise or sunset
(often referred to as the golden hour).
Most of the time, you can rely on the iPhones
auto exposure for great silhouettes, however to
make sure that you get the image youre looking
for a blackened subject and a nicely exposed
sky tap on the brightest part of the image
thesky and a silhouette will naturally form,
provided the light source is behind the subject. If
you need to darken the subject more, swipe down
on the screen to further reduce exposure. Need

more help with getting the best silhouette-friendly
exposures? Try shooting with an app such as
Camera+ (2.29), which lets you separate focus
andexposure controls.
8. Buildings are landscapes

You may wish you were going to some wild place
on your summer jaunt, but maybe you cant get
away. No problem. The city is the great outdoors
too, and that means streetscapes and sidewalks
lled with people and buildings. Architecture
shotsare just a different kind of landscape, and
they can be equally challenging.
For building and street shots, the concept
of leading lines will give you naturally dynamic
images, while crazy camera angles, contrasting
colours, reections, and mirrored windows can

yield unique and fascinating looks. Just remember
to look up, move around, and have fun snapping
from different vantage points.
9. Shoot in the best light

Timing is everything in photography. Time
translates directly into available light, and
light governs how your image will look. When
shootingoutdoors, the most unattering light
forjust about any scene, person, or object is
bright,mid-day, high-in-the-sky sun. It robs
subjectsof colour and depth, often bathing
theminharsh lightand deep shadows.
The best times to shoot are early morning or
twilight the so-called golden hours just after
sunrise or before sunset when the light is mellow,
though mid-morning or later afternoon may be
more realistically convenient. Sometimes its hard
to gure out when the best shooting time will be.
Not surprisingly, theres more than one app to
help out. Rizon (1.49), for example, lets you dial in

optimal times and will notify you ahead of time to
get ready for your shot.
10. Stormy weather

Its not always possible to shoot when the weather
is optimal. In some places, a perpetual fog or
constant rain can last for months. Does that mean
you should retreat indoors with your iPhones
camera? Certainly not.
For the most dramatic atmosphere, compose
your shot so that the stormy sky takes up a large
proportion of the frame. Use leading lines, which
draw the eye directly into the scene, to create
powerful images. Moody skies and silhouettes also
work well together for bad-weather drama.
Shooting through a window, car windshield,
or from under an awning can produce distinctive
shots. Darkened clouds create dramatic skies, while
a little bit of rain can inspire unique and abstract
compositions, even an accidental rainbow.
Try shooting with the HDR option turned on

toboost vibrance.
What you see is what you get

If youre posting photos directly from your phone,
feel free to do some quick tweaks in the Photos
app. If youre really ambitious about sprucing up a
special shot, transfer images to your desktop for
editing in Apple Photos and its various extensions,
or call on reinforcements such as Pixelmator,
AdobePhotoshop Elements or Lightroom.
Starting off with a good shot is always
optimal,but dont be afraid to give a good
photoalittle boost. In the end, its what the
viewersees that counts.

guide to Pokmon GO
Dont know the difference between a regular Pok Ball and a
Great Ball? Sarah Jacobsson Purewals guide will help
y now, you must be familiar with Pokmon

GO, the latest Pokmon game that uses VR
and real-world locations to send players on
an IRL quest to catch Pokmon. But considering its
a global phenomenon, Pokmon GO is lacking in
beginner instruction. This may be on purpose it
has a huge social element, and fewer instructions
means more people turning to each other for help.
But if youd rather not ask your 10-year-old
neighbour for the basics, weve put together a
beginners guide that will answer all your questions
about hunting down Pokmon, nabbing items,

and sating your desire for world domination by
controlling all of your neighbourhood gyms.
Pokmon, Pokmon, and more Pokmon

How to nd Pokmon
When you rst start the game, you will see three
starter Pokmon spawn/appear in your area:
Bulbasaur, Charmander and Squirtle. You can pick
one of these Pokmon to catch, and once you
catch it, the other two Pokmon will disappear.
But nding your next Pokmon isnt quite so
easy youll need to venture outside to nd more
Pokmon. They tend to spawn in areas that are
well-populated, like parks, tourist attractions,
and shopping centres. Youll also nd different
Pokmon in different areas
water-type Pokmon will only
show up near bodies of water,
for example, while grass-type
Pokmon can be found in parks.
In the lower-right corner
of your screen, you will see a
small white bar with silhouettes
of Pokmon that are close to
your current location. Tap this
bar to see all nearby Pokmon;
tap a single Pokmon to track
it. ThesePokmon will have
paw prints underneath them
denotinghow close (or far) they
are from you: One paw print
means close, while three paw
prints mean further away. These
paw prints will decrease/increase as you get closer/

further from the Pokmon.
How to catch Pokmon
To catch a Pokmon, youll need
to hit it with Pok Balls. This is
easy tap the Pok Ball and ick
it toward the Pokmon. Each
Pokmon will have a circle that
is green, yellow, or red: Green
means the Pokmon is easier
to catch, while red means its
difficult. As soon as you put your
nger on the Pok Ball, the circle
will start shrinking; if you hit
the Pokmon while the circle is
larger, it will be easier to catch.
You can increase your
chances of catching Pokmon
with higher level Pok Balls
(youll get access to Great
Balls at level 12) and byusing Razz Berries, a
treat that enticesaPokmon to stay. You can also
get a 100-point Experience Point (XP) bonus by
spinningthe Pok Ball when you toss it.
How to run from Pokmon
You can run away from a Pokmon instead of
catching it by tapping the run icon in the upper left
corner of the screen.
What is Stardust and where to get it
Stardust is used to power up your Pokmons
Combat Power (CP) level. You can get Stardust
bycatching Pokmon, hatching Pokmon from an

egg, or by controlling a Gym.
What are Candies
and where to get them
Candies are used to power
up your Pokmons CP and to
evolve Pokmon into stronger,
more advanced creatures. You
can get Candies by catching
Pokmon, by transferring
Pokmon to Professor Willow
(your in-game guide who
helps you learn how to catch
Pokmon), or by hatching
Pokmon from an egg. Candies
are specic to the Pokmon you
receive them from, but evolved
forms of Pokmon take their
unevolved forms Candies. For
example, Pikachu Candies can
only be used to power up and evolve Pikachu,
but Pidgey Candies can be used to power up
andevolve Pidgey, Pidgeotto and Pidgeot.
To transfer a Pokmon to Professor Willow, tap
the one you want to trade, go to the bottom of the
screen, and tap Transfer. You will lose this Pokmon
forever (so you should try to transfer Pokmon with
lower CP), but you will get one Candy.
Should you level up a
Pokmon or evolve it rst?
Levelling up your Pokmon usually takes one or
two Candies and some Stardust, while evolving
your Pokmon takes anywhere

from 12 to 400 Candies. But
youll get better results if you
evolve your Pokmon before
levelling them up (this takes
some holding out its tempting
to spend that Stardust), because
evolved forms of Pokmon take
their unevolved forms Candy
and have higher all-around stats.
How high can
a Pokmons CP get?
You can see your Pokmons CP
by opening its prole screen. The
arc above your Pokmon shows
how high its CP can potentially
get further along on the arc
means your Pokmon is nearing its maximum CP
level. Pokmons maximum CP depends on their
type (some Pokmon are just naturally stronger)
and on your level as a trainer. As you level up, your
Pokmons maximum CP will increase.
How to rename a Pokmon
Open your Pokmons prole screen and tap its
name to rename it.
How to get eggs, hatch an egg and
why you cant hatch an egg while driving
You can get eggs from PokStops, which are realworld locations that let players grab items. Eggs
come in three varieties: two-, ve- and 10km. To
nd your eggs, open the Pokmon screen and tap
the Eggs tab at the top of the

screen. To hatch an egg, you will
need to put it in an incubator (do
this by tapping the egg you want
to incubate and tapping Start
Incubation) and then walk two-,
ve- or 10km.
In order for your steps to
count, you must have the app
open while you are walking.
Step-counting stops working
over certain speeds, so travelling
in a car will not count toward
your egg-hatching.
Catching Pokmon in a car
Yes. But you should not play
Pokmon GO while driving.
If youre in a moving vehicle and you spot a
Pokmon on your map and you tap it, the Pokmon
will remain in your view long enough for you
to catch it (even if youre travelling at freeway
speeds). You can also grab items from PokStops
in a car, if you tap them and start spinning them
before you reach them (youll have to be quick).
You cant battle a gym while moving, though.
PokStops, items, and lures

Where to get different items
You can get Pok Balls, eggs, potions, super
potions, revives, Razz Berries, Great Balls, Ultra
Balls, and Master Balls (powerful types of Pok
Balls) from PokStops. You will get some incense,
lucky eggs, lure modules, and egg incubators as
you level up, but these premium items can also

be purchased in the shop. Heres a quick rundown
of what these items do:
Pok Ball: Used for catching Pokmon. Just toss
these at Pokmon you meet in the wild.
Egg: These contain Pokmon. You will need to put
an egg in an incubator and walk a certain distance
(each egg will tell you how long youll need to walk)
for it to hatch. You will also receive Stardust and
Candies upon hatching.
Potion: Restore 20 Hit Points (HP) to Pokmon
injured in gym battles. Will only work if Pokmon
have not fainted.
Super Potion: Restore 50HP to Pokmon injured
in gym battles. Will only work if Pokmon have
notfainted.
Revive: Revives a fainted Pokmon and restores
half of its HP.
Great Ball: Unlocks at level 12. Used for catching
Pokmon. These special balls have a higher rate
of capture, so you should use them on hard-to-get
Pokmon.
Ultra Ball: Unlocks at level 20. Used for catching
Pokmon. Has a higher rate of capture than a
GreatBall.
Master Ball: Unlocks at a higher (currently
unknown) level. Captures Pokmon every time.
Incense: Attracts Pokmon to your location for 30
minutes. Works best if you are moving.
Lucky Egg: Doubles your XP for 30 minutes. To
rack up XP quickly, use a Lucky Egg in an area
where you are likely to meet a lot of Pokmon
(near a lure module or while using incense), or right
before you are about to evolve

several Pokmon (evolving
netsyou 500XP).
Lure Module: Can be pinned
toaPokStop to attract
Pokmon to that location for 30
minutes. Works for everyone
near the PokStop.
Incubators: Can be used to
incubate and hatch eggs. You
can use multiple incubators
at once to incubate and hatch
multiple eggs.
How often do
PokStops refresh?
PokStops refresh (and will
give you more items) every
veminutes.
The pink stuff around a PokStop
If you see a PokStop thats shooting off pink
petals, someone has placed a lure module there.
Lure modules attract Pokmon for 30 minutes, and
everyone who is near the PokStop will benet
(unlike incense, which only attracts Pokmon to
oneperson). If you head over to a lure module,
youre likely to nd a bunch of other friendly
Pokmon GO players hanging about.
To place a lure module on a PokStop, tap the
PokStop and tap the white bar underneath the
PokStops name. If you have a lure module in
yourinventory, you can place this module in the
module slot.
Beware of following lure modules to shady parts

of town in the middle of the night, though there
may be armed robbers waiting for you.
Why are there no Pokmon/
PokStops/Gyms near me?
Pokmon GO is, unfortunately, a little biased
toward cities, because it relies on landmarks and
points of interest. If you live in a small town, or out
in the country, you may not see a lot of Pokmon,
PokStops, or Gyms near you.
Gyms
What is a Gym?
In addition to PokStops, youll also see Pokmon
Gyms usually larger landmarks around your
city. Gyms are where you can battle other players
Pokmon for control, pride, and free PokCoins.
You cant visit gyms until you are level 5 and have
chosen a team.
What is a team, and why you need to join one?
When you get to level 5, youll be asked to choose
a team. There are three teams: Team Instinct
(yellow), Team Mystic (blue) and Team Valor (red).
Once you pick a team, your job is to ght for control
of the Pokmon Gyms around your city if an
opposing team controls a gym, you can battle them
for dominance; if your team controls a gym, you can
train at the gym or place one of your Pokmon at
the gym to defend it from opposing teams.
If you control a gym or if you have a
Pokmon defending a gym (you dont necessarily
have to be the gym leader) you will get a
defender reward of PokCoins and Stardust

once a day. Themainincentive to control gyms
is pride, naturally, but PokCoins can be used
topurchaseitems inthe Shop.
Which team should you pick?
It doesnt really matter which team you pick,
but if you have friends playing the game youll
probably want to get on the same team so you
can take over gyms together. The best team, in
myunbiasedopinion, is Team Instinct.
How to claim a gym
You can claim an empty gym by assigning one
of your Pokmon to defend it. To do this, tap the
gymon your map and tap the assign button in the
lower left corner.
If a gym is currently occupied by an opposing
team, you can claim it by battling its current
defenders. You can take six Pokmon with you
into battle. Each time you win a battle, the gyms
prestige will lower when the gyms prestige is
at 0, the gym will open up and you can assign a
Pokmon to defend it.
Gym prestige
Gym power is determined by prestige the higher
a gyms prestige level, the harder it is for an
opposing team to conquer it. Every time the gyms
defenders win a battle against an opposing team,
the gyms prestige level gets higher. And every
time the gyms defenders lose a battle against an
opposing team, the gyms prestige level lowers.
If the gyms prestige level is lowered to 0 (by
multiple lost battles), the gym opens up and can

beclaimedby any team.
Gym prestige can be increased if friendly
team members train their Pokmon at the gym
(more on training below). As the gyms prestige
increases, more defence slots will open up,
allowing more friendly team members to assign
their Pokmon todefend the gym. (You can only
assign one Pokmon to a gym.) Higher-level
gyms have more slots a Level 6 gym can have
six defending Pokmon, while a Level 10 gym
can have 10 defending Pokmon. With each
gym level increase,the maximum prestige level
also increases. So a Level 1 gym has a maximum
prestige level of 2,000, but a Level 3 gym has a
maximum prestige level of 8,000.
How battling works
To battle an unfriendly gym, walk up to the gym,
tap it, and tap the battle button in the lower right
corner. You will see six of your Pokmon pop up
you can swap Pokmon out by tapping them.
You may not always want to take your strongest
Pokmon into battle some Pokmon types have
advantages against others.
Once youve picked your team, tap Go to enter
the battle. You have three moves at your disposal:
Standard attack, special attack, and dodge. Youll
want to start off with standard attacks, which you
can perform by tapping your enemy. Youll also
want to liberally use dodge, which you can do
by swiping to the right or the left. Once youve
performed enough standard attacks to power up
your special attack (you can check this by looking
at the blue bars underneath

yourname), tap and hold to
perform your special attack.
Ifyou have multiple bluebars,
you can perform this attack
multiple times.
Why is this enemy Pokmon
impossible to beat?
You may encounter a known bug
where an enemy Pokmon has
1HP but refuses to die. If you
encounter this bug, shut down
the app and reopen it. You will
have to restart the ght, but all
ofyour Pokmon will be restored
to full health.
What happens when a
Pokmon get injured or faint
If your Pokmon get injured, you can restore their
HP with Potions and Super Potions, which you can
pick up from PokStops. If your Pokmon faints,
you will need to revive them with a Revive, which
can also be found at PokStops. You cannot use
items during a battle.
How to train a Pokmon at a friendly gym
You can train your Pokmon at a friendly gym
(a gym owned by your team) by ghting against
the Pokmon defending it. To do this, walk up to
the gym, tap it, and tap the train icon in the lower
right corner. You can only take one Pokmon into
battle when you train. Every time you win a battle
against a friendly gym, that

gyms prestige raises. If you lose
a battle at a friendly gym, its
prestige is not affected.
How to drop a
Pokmon at a friendly gym?
If you encounter a friendly gym
with an empty slot, you can drop
one of your Pokmon there to
help defend it. Walk up to the
gym, tap it and tap the assign
button in the lower left corner.
When you drop a Pokmon
at adefending gym, you will
lose the ability to level it up
orevolveit until its defeated
andcomes back to you.
You will not get a notication if your Pokmon
faints or is injured in battle and the gym is
taken over by another team, but it will show up
in yourroster to be healed. If the friendly gym
doesnot have an empty slot, you will need to
train(win against the gym) until its level raises
anda slot opens up.
What you get for being a gym leader
Gym leaders and gym defenders get Stardust and
PokCoins every 21 hours. If you are controlling
or helping to defend a gym at the 21st hour, you
will get these benets by going to the Shop and
tapping the shield icon in the upper right corner.
The highest CP Pokmon defending a gym
determines the gym leader.
Feature: Best games

coming to iOS in 2016
This year is shaping up to be a brilliant one for iOS gamers.
Hereare the games David Price is most looking forward to
XCOM: Enemy Within
This is one of the very best games on the iPad: a
superbly tense and tactical turn-based strategy
masterpiece. Which makes us almost indecently
keen for XCOM 2. It took about eight months
for XCOM: Enemy Unknown, the rst modern
incarnation of the franchise, to launch on iOS after
its PC launch. The PC edition of XCOM 2 hit the
shops in February 2016, so were hopeful that it
might come to iPad in autumn.
Super Meat Boy

Super Meat Boy is a wildly popular but murderously
difficult platform game in which you control a cube
of animated meat; it started as a cult indie hit on
Xbox but blew up and ended up migrating to most
of the main console and desktop platforms, but not
to iPad or iPhone so far. Yet Team Meat has talked
about a new game, Super Meat Boy Forever, which
will appear on mobile.
At one stage this was believed to be an endless
runner, but the makers have since stated that there
will be endless stages hence the name within
a game that overall has a similar structure to the
original Super Meat Boy. Beyond that, details are
thin on the ground, but this video showing snatches
of gameplay is enough to get us excited about the
launch whenever it nally happens.
Banner Saga 2
The Banner Saga is a unique and beautifully made
tactical RPG/adventure game, and its mobile and
desktop versions feature prominently in our Best
iOS games and Best Mac games articles. So the
prospect of a sequel is fantastic.
The PC version of Banner Saga 2 is scheduled
to launch on 19th April 2016, and you can watch a
video trailer here. But when will the game come
to iPad? The iOS version of the original game
appeared nine months after the PC launch, so our
best guess is that BS2 will come to the App Store in
early 2017, but were optimistic that Stoic might get
it out there early and give iOS gamers a treat for
Christmas 2016.
Legend of Grimrock 2
This is our favourite roleplaying game on the iOS
platform. It is simply wonderful: cruel, compelling,
sometimes very difficult; a love letter to the gridbased rst-person RPGs of the 1990s with the
addition of modern graphical polish. And if by some
quirk of circumstances you havent played it yet,
you should go and download it, then close down
your browser and not come back until its nished.
LoG 2 came out on PC back in late 2014, and
Rock Paper Shotgun, whose recommendation led
us to try Grimrock in the rst place, described their
experience with the sequel as being like a pig in a
lifetimes supply of the very nest quality shit.
So come on, Almost Human, let the iPad gamers
have their turn. The rst game came to the App
Store last May, so we can only hope that the
developers have been too busy counting their
money to bother porting the sequel.
Dont Starve: Together/ Shipwrecked

Dont Starve is a survival game, dropping you into
a hostile wilderness with almost no instructions
to see how long you can last and when you
do get dropped by wild animal, starvation or
mental collapse, you stay dropped, thanks to
its cruel implementation of permadeath. Its all
a bit Minecrafty, but has a whimsical, gothy, Tim
Burtonesque avour and humour all of its own.
Having played this masterpiece within an inch
of its life were particularly keen to get our hands
on two expansions that the makers have already
rolled out in early access form for PC gamers.
Dont Starve Together, which comes out of early
access any day now, makes the game multiplayer;
and Shipwrecked adds a variety of seaborne
and tropical hazards. Both have been received
favourably, but at this point, anything which brings
more Dont Starve to our iPads is a good thing.
Walking Dead Season Three

Telltales trademark adventure-game style tense
conversations, dialogue choices with a timer and
potentially lethal consequences if you say the
wrong thing, ominous warnings that Character
X will remember that works particularly well
in the violent, high-stakes world of The Walking
Dead. And it foregrounds a sometimes overlooked
strength of the series, particularly in comic book
form: that interaction between humans is more
compelling than ghts with zombies.
The company has maintained high standards
for two series now, and the upcoming third season
scheduled for some time in 2016 is already
pencilled in as one of the highlights of our calendar.
Feature: Ask
the iTunes Guy
Kirk McElhearn answers your iTunes questions
hen is shuffle not shuffle? When it

shuffles things you dont want shuffled.
iTunes shuffle feature is great, but not
when you want to listen to audiobooks. I explain
how to use shuffle and how to keep books in
order. I also mention the secret command to turn
off iTunes hideous algorithm-generated colour
scheme, and give a bit more detail about how
Apple Lossless les can be smaller than the
originalmusic on CD.
Shuffle or not
Q: I have a mix of songs, albums and audiobooks,
all in playlists in my iTunes library. I would like to
have the playlists that contain music shuffle all
their songs, and the audiobooks play in chapter
order. However, when I switch shuffle on it affects
all playlists, which obviously plays audiobooks
out of order. It there anyway to set up iTunes so
shuffle is on for some playlists and off for others?
A: The iTunes shuffle feature is great for music, but,
as you point out, not for audiobooks. There are
several ways you can control shuffle in iTunes, and
its good to know about these.
To turn shuffle on globally for your library, choose
Controls > Shuffle > On, and start playing a track.
Shuffle just the contents of a

playlist by clicking its shuffle icon
Or double-click an item to start playing it, and then

click the shuffle icon in the iTunes LCD (thats the
display at the top of the window).
You can shuffle a playlist by clicking the
crossed-arrows icon in the playlist header.
And you can start shuffling any item in the
sidebar music library view, playlist, and so on, by
right-clicking and choosing Shuffle.
In your situation, theres an easy solution to
prevent your audiobooks from shuffling. Select
allthe tracks of one of your audiobooks, press
Cmd-I, and then click the Options tab. Check
Skip when Shuffling, and iTunes will ignore the
tracks when youre playing all your content in
shuffle mode. So you could do this for all your
audiobooks(you can select them all and make
thechange with a single click), and still leave
shuffle onfor your music.
Colour unbalance
Q: Recent iTunes versions have a black
background on the top portion of the window,
so the song titles are impossible to read. Is there
some way to change that?
This is an extreme example of how

this colour algorithm goes wrong,
but its not that uncommon
A: This has been an iTunes feature for quite a

while (since iTunes 11), and it was enhanced a
bit when iTunes 12 was released last year. An
algorithm in iTunes uses the dominant colours from
the album artwork of the selected album, or of the
tracks in a playlist, to choose a colour scheme.
Unfortunately, this algorithm seems like it was
designed by an intern, and doesnt take into
account the lack of contrast between pale coloured
fonts and dark backgrounds. It also ignores the fact
that many people are colour-blind, and have even
more trouble viewing content like this.
Fortunately, you can turn this feature off in
iTunes General preferences. Uncheck the Views
setting of Use custom colours for open albums,
movies, and so on, and youll have white text
on a black background. You wont see it change
immediately on the selected album or playlist;
clickanother itemfor the change to show up.
Is Apple Lossless truly lossless?

Q: Can you explain how a CD track thats
1,411kb/s ends up with only 767kb/s as an
AppleLossless?
A: The reader who sent in this question asks

something that a lot of people wonder about.
CDs contain PCM (pulse code modulation) audio
at 1,411kb/s, so it seems counter-intuitive that a
compressed le could still retain the same quality.
Lossless compression for audio les allows you
to take an original music le on a CD, for example
and shrink it to save space, yet retain the same
quality. Its not as small as a lossy compressed le,
but when you play it back, the le is decompressed
on the y, and the resulting data is exactly the same
as the original. This is similar to the way a Zip le of
a Word document containing the text of Moby Dick
has all the same words when its uncompressed.
Note that the nal bit rate of an Apple Lossless
le (or any other lossless le) is an average of an
entire track, and that bit rate can vary greatly. Here
are some examples of Apple Lossless le bit rates
in my iTunes library.
All these les are in Apple Lossless

format, but you can see that the bit
rate varies greatly according to the
density and volume of the music
How To: Remove iOS 10

beta and return to iOS 9
If you regret installing the iOS 10 public beta,
David Price reveals how to go back to iOS 9
f youve taken the plunge and installed the iOS 10

public beta, and then regretted it, youre probably
wondering how to delete iOS 10 and go back to
the comforting embrace of iOS 9. This is easy, if a
little long-winded. We explain how.
Downgrade from iOS 10

Lets deal with the early birds rst the ones
who have installed iOS early, be it via the public
beta or developer preview. Youre the lucky
ones when it comes to downgrading, because

iOS 9.3.2 is still the newest and current officially
supported operating system and will therefore be
the softwareyour iPhone or iPad will be restored
to if you select the iTunes option to Restore and
Update. But well get into that in a moment.
The only issue is that youll have to restore from
a pre-iOS 10 backup, so any data or preferences
youve saved since then will be lost and if you
havent got an archived backup from your iOS 9
days, you wont be able to restore your data at
all.In that case all your data will be lost and youll
have to go back to a factory-default new iPhone
ornew iPad setup. Something to consider.
Removing the iOS 10 public beta is simple:
Enter Recovery mode by turning off your iPhone

or iPad, then holding its Home button.
When it says Connect to iTunes, do exactly that
plug it into your Mac or PC and open up iTunes.
iTunes will tell you that its detected an iPhone
or iPad in Recovery Mode, and that this needs to
be restored - click OK to agree to this, and then
Restore iPhone or Restore iPad (as appropriate).
Finally, choose the option to Restore and Update.
iTunes will download the latest version of iOS 9
and install it on your Apple device.
Once iTunes has reinstalled a fresh version of
iOS 9, you have a choice of either restoring from an
old backup (remember, your iOS 10 back up wont
work) or setting it up as a brand new iPhone. Simply
select your preferred option, follow the on-screen
prompts and viola! Youre back on good old iOS 9.
How To: Clean out

your iPhones memory
Lucy Hattersley shows how to remove unwanted junk
from iPhone and give your handset a speed boost
he iPhone and iPad are pretty user-friendly

devices, but iOS still gets clogged up over
time with unwanted le and memory hogs.
This can slow your iPhone down. In this article,
were going to look at how to clean iOS junk les
and get the iPhone to run a little faster.
Giving your iPhone (or iPad) a spring clean
and removing unwanted les will improve its
performance: especially if it is an older model. But
spring-cleaning also helps you get more out of iOS
by enabling you to focus on the things you do need
and use. Apple iOS devices may not need the same
level of maintenance as Mac OS X), but they still
need some attention to run at optimum speed.
Delete the Safari cache

Were going to start by cleaning out the caches on
our iPhone. Note that this will mean youre logged
out of any websites youve signed into, though.
Follow these steps to clear out the Safari cache:
Press Settings > Safari.

Scroll down and tap Clear History and
WebsiteData.
Tap Clear History and Data.

Remove le data
Data stored by other apps can be cleaned using
the Usage option in settings. Follow these steps to
clean out unwanted data from iOS:
Tap Settings > General > Storage & iCloud Usage.

Tap Manage Storage.
Tap an item in Documents and Data.
Slide unwanted items to the left and tap Delete.
Tap Edit > Delete All to remove all the apps data.
Clean iOS junk using PhoneClean
PhoneClean (imobie.com) can be used to remove
junk les from iOS. Follow these steps:
Attach the iPhone to your Mac using the

USBcable.
Open Phone Clean and click Scan.
Once the scan is complete, click Clean.
Some PhoneClean features are only available

in the Pro version, including Photo Caches, which
costs from $19.99 per year.
Clean iOS junk using iMyFone Umate

Much like PhoneClean by iMobie, iMyFone Umate
for Windows and Mac can be used to remove
temporary and junk les from your iOS device
quickly and easily.
Connect your iPhone to your PC or Mac using

thesupplied Lightning cable.
Open iMyFone Umate and click Scan on the
Home tab.
Clear Junk les and Temporary les to clear up
alot of space on your iPhone.
You can also clear out any large les (videos, and
so on) and see, at a glance, apps that take up a
lot of space on your iOS device. These can also

be deleted easy using iMyFone Umate.
Theres a free version of iMyFone Umate
(imyfone.com) available for Windows and Mac along
with a paid version which sets you back $19.99
(around 15), allowing access to the more advanced
features of the app.
Recover memory
Apple iOS should manage your memory effectively.
And apps that are running in the background
should not take up memory. Having said that, we do
nd that restarting an iPhone clears all the memory
and ensures that the apps we need have enough to
use. Here is how to restart your iPhone:
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button until slide to

power off appears.
Slide the power off switch and turn off the iPhone.
Wait until it has fully powered down then press
the Sleep/Wake button to turn on the iPhone.
Doing this on a regular basis used to be vital on
an iPhone, and its still useful on older models.
Clear iOS les and

memory using Battery Doctor
There are several apps on the App Store that
enable you to clean out junk les. One popular
option is Battery Doctor (tinyurl.com/La3o6bd),
which provides information about your battery
butalso clears out junk les. Follow these steps:
Open Battery Doctor and select the Junk tab.

Tap Clean Up Cache, then Clean.
Wait for Battery Doctor to scan your les.
Tap Memory and then Boost.
Battery Doctor will show you how much memory
has been released.

How To: Reset an old

iPhone or iPad or device
Martyn Casserly reveals how to reset a frozen
iPhone or iPad and restore it from a backup
n this tutorial we will show you how to reset an

iPhone or iPad perfect if you need to wipe an
iPhone or wipe an iPad because you are selling it.
Alternatively, if your iPhone or iPad has frozen we
can show you how to reset it and restore it from a
back up. Heres how to reset, restore and reboot
your iPhone or iPad the next time it hangs. Read on
to nd out how to erase your iPhone or iPad, and
restore everything again afterwards.
Fix a frozen iPhone or iPad

If youve ever watched the IT Crowd, youll be well
versed in the mantra Have you tried turning it off
and on again?, which is the stock response used
by Denholm Industries IT department to solve all
computer-related ills.
In real life well, strangely enough its often the
way to x problems that occur on your iPhone, iPad
or even Mac. Modern electronic devices are very
complicated, and can get themselves into a bit of
a confused state from time to time. Resetting can
clear out random problems that cause the device
to get stuck in a loop, appear sluggish or otherwise
impair their performance. Its not a guarantee, but
youd be surprised how often it works.
For bigger issues though, you might nd that a
trip to the Apple Store is in order, and this often
results in a xed device but with all the data wiped
clean. To solve this its vitally important that you
backup your iPhone either with iCloud or iTunes.
With that safety net in place you can restore your
iPhone when it starts to have problems. Read
on tond out how to restart your iPhone if its
completely unresponsive, backup your iPhone
before resetting it and more.
What to do if your iPhone has crashed

If your iPhone or iPad has become unresponsive,
or youve shut it down and it wont turn on again,
all is not lost. There is a feature on iOS devices that
can be used when the normal modes of operation
arent working. Thankfully they are very easy to do,
and require no tools or specialist knowledge. In fact
you just need two ngers and about 20 seconds.
To restart your iPhone or iPad hold down the

Home button (the one on the front of the iPhone or
iPad) and at the same time hold down the power
button (aka the lock switch) until you see the Apple
logo appear on the screen. Now you can let go of
the buttons and let your device complete its start
sequence. This is called a hard reset, and should
hopefully x any issues you were having. If things
are still not as they should be, then it might be a
good idea to restore an old backup, as some of
your les could be corrupted and causing the issue.
Read on to nd out more.
Back up your iPhone

or iPad before you wipe it
If you want to start with a clean slate, then there
area few steps to take. First, make sure that you
have a backup ready.
You can use either iCloud or iTunes to backup
your iOS device. For iCloud go to Settings > iCloud
> Backup and ensure that the feature is enabled.
To see when the last
backup was run look
under the Back Up Now
option where the date
and time should be
displayed. If you havent
done a backup before
you can tap the Back
Up Now button and
follow the instructions.
To use iTunes youll
need to plug your
iPhone or iPad into your
PC or Mac using the charging cable. Click on the

iPhone or iPad icon in the top left corner of iTunes,
under the Play button.
Reset your iPhone or iPad

Once youre condent that youve backed up your
iPad or iPhone, youre ready to perform a factory
reset. This will completely wipe your device which
is why having a backup is so important.
A factory reset can help resolve issues with your
iPhone or iPad if its crashing or freezing, but it
is also what youll want to do if you need to wipe
youriPhone or iPad before selling it, or passing it
on to a family member or friend.
When selling an iPhone or iPad, its absolutely
vital that you delete all the sensitive data stored
on it. If not, an unscrupulous buyer could gain
access to your social media proles, your nancial
information and even your personal photos and

videos, enabling them to browse through your
private moments or steal your identity.
Luckily its very easy to completely wipe an iPad
or iPhone. Simply follow the steps in this tutorial
and your data security will be assured:
Go to Settings > General > Reset and then select

Erase All Content and Settings.
After typing in your passcode if youve set one,

youll get a warning box appear, with the option to
Erase iPhone (or iPad) in red. Tap this.
Youll need to enter your Apple ID password to
conrm the action, then the iPad or iPhone will
wipe everything off its storage and go back to
theinitial setup screen you saw when you rst
used the device.
You can also fully reset your iPhone or iPad
through iTunes. When you plug in your iOS
device, you should be able to see a Restore
iPhone button, which will fully reset the device.
Deleting apps and other items individually

Thats the quick method, but if you just want
to free up some space a full wipe clearly isnt
the bestoption. To look at the biggest culprits
lling upyour storage allocation, go to Settings
>General> Usage. iOS will tell you rstly how
muchspace youre using and how much is
available, and will then list the apps taking up
themost space.
Remember that these listings include associated
documents and les as well as the app itself, so
Photos and Music are likely to be up near the top.
Instead of deleting
the app (which you
wouldnt beable to do
anyway, with Apples
preinstalledapps) you
could go into the app
in question and clear
out some old photos or
songs, for example.
To delete an app
youre nished with,
click it in this list, then
Delete App and conrm.
Alternatively,from the Home screen you can tap
and hold any icon, then tap the X at the top left
ofan app to delete the app. (If it hasnt got an X,
you cant delete it.)
iCloud backup
If having erased the content of the phone you
intend to keep using it, you can restore the content
to your phone from your backup.
With the factory reset completed youll need
to go through the setup of your iPhone again
from the beginning; entering your details, Wi-Fi
password and a few other things until you reach
the page where youre asked how you want to
SetUp iPhone. You have the three options Set
Up as a New iPhone, Restore from iCloud Backup
or Restore from iTunes backup so select the
iCloudoption and youll be prompted to enter your
iCloud account details. Once youve done this, and
agreed to the terms and conditions, your iPhone
will begin restoring all of your data.
Obviously this could take a while if you have

large backups or a slow internet connection, so
dont attempt this if youre in a hurry. When the
backup is completed your iPhone will reboot,
andthen it will start the larger job of downloading
all ofyour apps.
iTunes backup
As with the iCloud instructions weve already
outlined, follow the steps up to the Set Up iPhone
screen, then select Restore from iTunes. Youll be
prompted to Connect to iTunes, so plug in your
iPhone and youll see a screen on iTunes that gives
you the option to restore a backup. Click continue
and your iPhone will be set up automatically, with
the apps being restored from the iTunes backup.
When its nished, youll have a freshly cleaned
system and hopefully any problems that you were
encountering before will be a thing of the past.
What to do if your
iOS device isnt backed up
If youre worried that your iPhone or iPad wasnt
backed up, chances are that there is a backup
that you were unaware of. To nd out if you are
backing up to iCloud (you get free 5GB of space)
go to Settings > iCloud and tap on Storage. Wait a
few seconds for Manage Storage to show up and
tap on that. Here you will see your various backups
for your iOS devices (there might be one for an old
iPhone you could delete if you need more space).
One of the backups should say that it is This
iPhone or This iPad. Tap on that and you can
see what is, and isnt being backed up. You can
basically turn things on and off so that they dont
take up your full 5GB, or you can pay a few pounds
a month for more storage.
You may think that some of those apps dont
need to be backed up, after all, you will be able
to download them again from the App Store as
you already own them. But note that the data may
include saved data for games, and other settings
and preferences that you would prefer not to lose.
To check when your iPhone last backed up, go to
Settings > iCloud > Backup and look at the date and
time of the last back up. It will have happened the
last time you plugged your iPhone in to charge and
had Wi-Fi access available.
If you nd that you arent backing up this way, we
recommend you go to Settings > iCloud > Back up
and turn iCloud Backup On as this is the simplest
way to back up and means that you always recover
the data on your phone no matter where you are,
all you will need is a connection to the web.
Opinion: Why new iPhone

will be a must-have upgrade
Sure, OLED probably isnt coming until next year, but Michael
Simon believes this years iPhone could be a sleeper hit.
f youve happened to peruse an Apple rumour

site lately, you might have noticed a distinct
lackof enthusiasm surrounding the next
iPhone. Its not the sort of thing were not used
to seeing; this being an even year (or tick, if you
prefer), earlysummer is normally the time when
speculationstarts heating up, when 9to5Mac or
KGI analyst Ming-Chi Kuo drops a juicy tidbit for
everyone to salivate over.
But its looking more and more like thats not

going to happen. Reports are saying that the
iPhone 7 (if thats even what its called) will break
the cycle and offer up another S-type model, with
most of the major improvements happening on the
inside rather than a ashy case change.
Its a risk for sure whole-number iPhone
models have always been judged on their physical
attributes, and another year of the iPhone 6 will
cause some people to immediately write it off.
But that neednt be the case. While this years
iPhone might not have the usual buzz leading up
to its announcement, there should be more than
enoughreasons to get entice iPhone 6 (and even
some 6s) users to upgrade.
Intelligence inside
Even if its true that the new iPhone is virtually
indistinguishable from the model it succeeds, that
doesnt mean it wont be a major step forward.
While we can certainly count on the requisite
improvements to the camera and chip, there
almost certainly will be one or two major internal
enhancements that not only make it attractive to
upgraders but also chart a new course for Apples
mobile strategy.
There are already some clues out there. The
iPad Pro introduced the Smart Connector for quick
keyboard hookups, and there has been speculation
that the iPhone Plus (or a new iPhone Pro) will
adopt it, as well as the True Tone display, which
would be right at home on the iPhone. But the killer
feature will likely be something we havent seen
yet. The S models have actually meant more to the
evolution of the iPhone than the case redesigns

bringing major features such as Siri, Touch ID
and3D Touch that have dramatically changed the
way we use our phones and the new iPhone is
sure tointroduce something entirely new.
Out with a bang

Even if the new iPhone looks like the one it
replaces, make no mistake: the iPhones reboot
starts this year. By breaking the two-year cycle,
Apple is making it clear that the iPhone is in the

middle of an unprecedented transition period, one
much more signicant than the usual biennial one.
But while Apple may be prepping for a massive
overhaul next year, that doesnt mean this years
iPhone is going to be a throwaway. Quite the
contrary in factin all likelihood the 2016 model
represents the last of the button-central iPhone,
and Apple isnt about to let it go out with a
whimper. Delaying the redesign doesnt just align
it with the 10th anniversary, it also gives Apple an
opportunity to give the classic model a proper
send-off, and that could include a new 256GB Pro
model, a Smart Connector, or even Apple Pencil
support. The reliance on an old design liberates
Apple to innovate from the inside, and with another
year to tweak and rene the iPhone 6, the new
iPhone could very well be its most awless release.
The power of 10
We may have only gotten small preview of iOS 10,
but from what weve seen, its set to implement
some of the most exciting changes since the launch
of the App Store. Its not just about extra features
and apps (though there are plenty of those). iOS
10 introduces some exciting new ways to interact
with apps that rely on 3D Touch, which just so
happens to only available on the 6s. Apple has said
that rich notications with be available for devices
without 3D Touch, but the experience is inferior on
devices without it, even the new iPhone SE. With an
increased reliance on peeking and popping, Apple
will surely improve how it operates, much like it has
with each generation of Touch ID.
iOS 10 makes 3D Touch such an essential

gesture that owners of the iPhone 6 and
SE might be tempted to upgrade
And even though Apple optimises iOS for

older hardware, the newest phones always run it
best. With iOS 10, the performance gap will likely
be greater, with a heavy dose of Siri and subtle
animations. Plus, theres a rumour circulating about
a touch-sensitive home button that would turn it
into more of a tiny track pad with Force Touch-style
haptic feedback, a feature that would further
enhance iOS 10s streamlined navigation.
Hit the road

Even if the rumours are correct about another S
model, there looks to be two important changes
to the design of this years iPhone that will have
implications down the road: the moving of the
unsightly antenna bands to the sides of the device

and the removal of the headphone jack.
While no one is going to complain about a clean,
uniform back plate, people are already up in arms
over the removal of the iPhones universal music
port. But if history is any indicator, the result will be
addition by subtraction. There may be short-term
pain, but every time Apple has retired a piece of
legacy tech it has been to fast-forward the support
a superior standard (USB, Wi-Fi, and so on). In this
instance, its likely Bluetooth, and there is sure
to be some exciting advancements in this space,
whether its a new audio codec, faster charging,
or instant pairing. Lets not forget that Apple owns
oneof the most popular headphone companies
onthe planet, so a whole new listening experience
could be on the way.
Up, upgrade and away

When Apple announced the iPhone Upgrade
Program alongside the 6s last year, it effectively
ended the carrier lock-in. No longer were users
limited to the model on the cycle they originally
bought; after just 12 payments (about half the price
of the phone) you can choose to slide into a new
model without having to pay the remainder of the
balance on the old one.
Its a pretty nice deal if you want to be on the
cutting edge of tech, but with the two-year cycle
about to change, it offers even greater protection to
whole-number upgraders. Even if the 2016 model
carries the S banner for another 12 months, the
iPhone Upgrade Program ensures would-be iPhone
6 upgraders wont have to skip the iPhone 7 of
fear of missing out on the next big thing next year.

So while rumours sites might be lacking in juicy
details now, the reports of the next iPhone being
a disappointment have been greatly exaggerated.
You might as well start scoping out your place in
line at your nearest Apple Store now, because
youre going to want one.
