It’s release day for all Apple users among us! iOS 10, watchOS 3, and that other one everybody always forgets, tvOS 10. Since iOS 10 probably matters the most to you:
iOS 10 features a redesigned Lock screen experience with 3D Touch-enabled notifications, a more easily accessible camera, and a widgets screen. A revamped Control Center also offers 3D Touch support along with new controls for music and HomeKit devices. Raise to Wake, a new feature for the latest devices, wakes up the iPhone without bypassing notifications.
Have fun updating.
FYI: I don’t know how widespread this is, but …

And of course, I have to put in the obligatory:

I’m not taking chances. Learned the hard way during the iOS 7/8 transition. Waiting a couple of weeks.

Three devices and no problems, so it does seem the bad file was pulled and corrected. Not proof positive of course.
The other issue is the downside of longer support – older devices are sure to get much slower than they used to be (as is a general theme with iOS updates over time – a problem Android doesn’t generally have, since they don’t update). I wonder how many will have that problem?
There^A's quite a big difference this time, ios 10 is targeted only for iphone 5 and up.
Those all models have more in general compared to the 4s and 5 for example. Theefor the iso 9 was such much slower on iPhne 4s compared to the rest of the models.
I think ios 10 will work better in that regard on the supported models.
Four devices (2x iPad Air2, one iPhone 6s and one iPhone 5SE), all without any issues at all.
My iPhone 6s has been in the beta program since beta1 and no special issues during any of the betas.
Updated my backup phone just now – iPhone 5. Believe it or not, it basically performs the same as it did on iOS 9. After the initial stuttering just after boot and the usual slow app launch times while iOS re-indexes stuff, it’s running quite okay considering it turned 4 years old this month. In fact, scrolling feels a tad smoother on iOS 10.
Will hold off updating my daily driver iPhone 6 for a few more days, just to be safe. It’ll also hopefully give enough time for all my most used apps to get their iOS 10 updates in. Widgets in particular look weird on iOS 10 if the app is still using iOS 9 widget sensibilities.
Rant:
What’s the damn point of giving me the option to remove stock apps when I cannot set an alternative default?! I was hoping to finally be able to tap on an email link in Safari or Messages and have my preferred third-party email client (Dispatch) launch, but instead I just get asked to reinstall the stupid stock Mail app again. Ugh!!

This! The ability to remove the apps I don’t want is something I’ve long wanted, but it’s really incomplete without a way to set others as defaults.
No problems with my iPhone 6 Plus or my 12.9″ iPad Pro. Both are running iOS 10. Now for my three Macs at home for macOS 10.
Was there a new version of macOS 10? The last few updates I saw were pretty lackluster.
That’s next week, though from what I saw of the initial betas I’m not hopeful for much. Sad.
It all depends on what you are looking for. I found the last three macOS updates very nice. They weren’t huge updates but they went back and made things a lot more stable, faster, and nicer.
Well, I was talking about some bugs I noticed. In Safari 10, for example, I literally could not download certain files depending how the web page served them. Yes by the way, this was from a clean install. The download would never start. Office 365, for example, just would not download as Safari simply would not respond. This issue remained unfixed for three versions before I finally decided to roll back (thank you time machine). There were a slew of minor issues like that which could be worked around, but together they added up to a major headache. Three beta versions with no sign of a fix. We’ll see, next week.
In terms of features, I actually agree with you. Mac is complete, at least for every feature I need and I’m all for gradual refinement. It just feels like MacOS isn’t getting any more than token attention, even for bug fixes in betas where they are being reported. I do understand that iOS is their big player now. I even like iOS, especially the last few versions where they’re really starting to add some power features. It still makes me sad though. I really like OS X (now MacOS).
Great new feature – find my watch: the watch shows up on iCloud and find my phone app.
Uh, shouldn’t your watch be on your wrist?
