Let’s cut right to the chase: The people who will enjoy the iOS 10 beta the most are iPhone 6s or 6s Plus users who don’t rely heavily on the Maps app, which is now a battery hog. If you have a device without 3D Touch, or an iPad that isn’t an iPad Pro, the benefits of iOS 10 are a little less, which makes waiting for the final release (or even, say, 10.01) all the more tempting. Don’t get me wrong: The first developer beta of iOS 10 was relatively stable, and the first public beta is too. The biggest bugs I’ve personally encountered were annoying but not deal-breakers: Maps crashing during navigation, Maps not ending the navigation when I arrive, alarms that don’t want to turn off (quite…

By now, you must be familiar with Pokémon GO, the latest Pokémon game that uses VR and real-world locations to send players on an IRL quest to catch Pokémon. But considering it’s a global phenomenon, Pokémon 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 you’d rather not ask your 10-year-old neighbour for the basics, we’ve put together a beginner’s guide that will answer all your questions about hunting down Pokémon, nabbing items, and sating your desire for world domination by controlling all of your neighbourhood gyms. Pokémon, Pokémon, and more Pokémon How to find Pokémon When you first start the game, you will see three starter…

If you’ve taken the plunge and installed the iOS 10 public beta, and then regretted it, you’re 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 Let’s deal with the early birds first – the ones who have installed iOS early, be it via the public beta or developer preview. You’re 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 software your iPhone or iPad will be restored to if you select the iTunes option to Restore and Update. But we’ll get into that in a moment. The only issue is…

If you’ve happened to peruse an Apple rumour site lately, you might have noticed a distinct lack of enthusiasm surrounding the next iPhone. It’s not the sort of thing we’re not used to seeing; this being an even year (or tick, if you prefer), early summer is normally the time when speculation starts heating up, when 9to5Mac or KGI analyst Ming-Chi Kuo drops a juicy tidbit for everyone to salivate over. But it’s looking more and more like that’s not going to happen. Reports are saying that the iPhone 7 (if that’s even what it’s 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 flashy case change. It’s a risk for sure – whole-number iPhone…

i 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 – or even earlier, if you’re prepared to act as a beta tester? What are the differences between iOS 9 and 10 – what design changes have been made, what new features have been added, and which devices can run each of them? We examine Apple’s 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…

1. Swipe left and right on the Home screen When you first install iOS 10, you’ll be presented with a new Home screen. We find this change the most jarring, unlocking our iPhone and iPad has mostly remained the same process: swipe right and enter your passcode. With Touch ID now firmly entrenched on all new Apple devices, Apple’s decided that the swipe to unlock gesture is no longer required. Instead, you can swipe right to access a Widgets window (similar to Notifications in iOS 9), and swipe left to access Camera. These gestures are more intuitive than the current ones, but it’ll take a while it to become instinctive. As for unlocking the iPhone, you now press the Home button in and keep your finger held on the button…

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 first 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 we’re 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…

The iPhone and iPad are pretty user-friendly devices, but iOS still gets clogged up over time with unwanted file and memory hogs. This can slow your iPhone down. In this article, we’re going to look at how to clean iOS junk files and get the iPhone to run a little faster. Giving your iPhone (or iPad) a spring clean and removing unwanted files 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 We’re going to…

The iPad Pro is a productivity powerhouse – or at least, that’s what Apple wants it to be. The 12.9in Pro was released last November, and the 9.7in model debuted in March, so we weren’t expecting to see any new hardware at Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference in June. But we were hoping Apple would add some iPad-only features in iOS 10 that would fix a few problems and make 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 10’s parade of features. The device gets most of the good stuff, like the revamped Messages app, a new lock screen with rich notifications, and smarter Photos, but the iPad-only…

Changing a contact photo on your iPhone is a simple task – here we show you how to do this manually with pictures stored on your phone or connecting your Facebook and Twitter apps with the Contacts app on your iPhone. Facebook and Twitter are able to synchronise with your iPhone, and are one of the few social networks you can sign in to from the Settings menu of your device. This gives the apps access to update your contacts with information from the social media profiles, including photos. But this won’t be for everyone; people may want more control over their privacy within iOS. Make sure you’re okay with the app accessing your personal information before you choose to update contacts – you can see what we to say…
