­(original title: WWDC will go to: iOS 10 system updates the last wave of stocktaking)

­iOS 10 what key features or highlights will be included in this update? We have partially sorted out the past news, which has a certain reference significance for everyone to know iOS 10 in advance before the press conference, but whether it can come true remains to be confirmed after the official announcement of iOS 10.

There are numerous reports and signs that Apple is testing the latest version of its mobile operating system, iOS 10, and it is almost certain that it will be officially announced at the WWDC 2016 developer conference in the near future. Siri has already let us know that this annual conference will be held on June 13 (the early morning of 14th Beijing time), and Apple's vice president of software engineering, Craig Federidge (Craig Federighi), later confirmed that iOS 10 will officially debut at WWDC 2016.

­iOS 10 is bound to be the main theme of the WWDC conference. According to the usual practice, a preview version of iOS 10 is usually released on WWDC, focusing on previewing some of the main features and perhaps hiding parts waiting for the release of iPhone 7. However, a developer beta of iOS 10 should be available shortly after the launch, while a public beta will be available soon after the launch, at least as planned for iOS 9. Considering that there is still an obvious BUG for the more functional iOS 9 after the launch of the public beta, Apple should continue the public beta model all the time. But the final version of iOS 10 will definitely have to wait until the next generation of iPhone is officially released.

­, what key features or highlights will be included in this update of iOS 10? Below, we have sorted out some of the past news, which has a certain reference significance for everyone to know iOS 10 in advance before the press conference, but whether it can come true remains to be confirmed after the official announcement of iOS 10.

­Siri

Not to mention that Siri will be updated this year, in fact, Apple is trying to improve the level of Siri every year. The major feature update of Siri is still unknown, but first of all, it can be confirmed that Apple will announce the opening of Siri SDK again, after which developers can integrate third-party applications and services with Siri to achieve voice interaction, artificial intelligence and other functions. It is not clear whether related hardware similar to Echo will be born as accessories.

­for the features of iOS 10, Siri is expected to become a personal assistant who can handle voicemail, telling callers that the owner of the phone is unable to answer the phone, having a simple and intelligent conversation, helping to transfer to voicemail, and so on. Apple doesn't have its own mobile operator and doesn't want Siri to be private, which must be enabled only after it is authorized by users.

­another addition to Siri on iOS 10 is iCloud Voicemail, which converts content in voicemail into text, allowing users to browse and read quickly.

­Apple Pay

­Apple Pay services are expanding globally, but are still limited to NFC NFC payments. According to rumors, Apple is planning to add a peer-to-peer payment function to Apple Pay, which is expected to be similar to our current payment services, including allowing iOS users to transfer money to each other, and digital wallets that will allow users to authorize payments on mobile web pages using Touch ID or passwords. Obviously, if Apple Pay really supports P2P services, the utilization rate will increase significantly. Considering that there are already many existing P2P service providers, this service is expected to become a reality in iOS 10. It is not known whether to increase money transfer in iMessage.

­HomeKit

Not long ago, a whistleblower said to be an insider in Apple's marketing department revealed that Apple had tested a number of smart home devices, especially those compatible with iOS HomeKit. The Apple employee pointed out that there are many third-party apps, most of which are free, which provide more control and customization for smart home devices, and the next version of the iOS system, released this fall, will have a stand-alone app called "HomeKit".

­considering that Apple has previously applied for the "Home" trademark for the HomeKit app icon and has been using HomeKit apps within the company, it is likely to happen before the official release of iOS 10. When HomeKit is an independent application, it has the ability to put all compatible devices on the platform in the same management center. As long as you open the HomeKit application on iOS 10, you can uniformly match and control all HomeKit-compatible devices.

­at that time, whether it is smart light bulbs, door locks, thermostats, doorbells and all kinds of gadget lights, we only need to open an application to easily operate. There are already many third-party HomeKit devices on the market, and I believe Apple has seriously considered the immeasurable future of the home automation market.

­Apple Music

­Apple Music will celebrate its one-year anniversary on WWDC 2016, and it is true that there are more than 13 million paying users. But given all the negative perceptions of the Apple Music and the fact that it didn't live up to expectations, it's not surprising that Apple revamped it with the help of iOS 10 on its first anniversary, and software and services have become increasingly important to Apple.

­many commentators believe that Apple Music's chaotic playback interface has been criticized because it looks like a "menu in a menu" and has affected the user experience. In response, it is said that the top priority of Apple Music's redesign is the user interface, which will remove those rich color elements and become more intuitive and transparent, highlighting the black-and-white background and text, the album page view will no longer change according to the color of the album cover, and the cover will look larger to avoid showing too many black and white tones.

In addition, the new version of Apple Music will further integrate Apple's homegrown San Francisco fonts, with bold, larger black fonts for menus and tags. Others include better integration of streaming and download options, expansion of online broadcast services, support for 3D Touch quick preview, manual search of lyrics or automatic loading of lyrics, and more. There are also rumors that previous social functions are either improved by Connect or may be removed.

­3D Touch

­3D Touch made its debut on iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus, a highly acclaimed and surprising feature that creates a new dimension of user-phone interaction for the first time, allowing the screen to feel different levels of pressure. Nowadays, more and more apps support 3D Touch, but it needs to be better. Apple may add settings on iOS 10 to make it more flexible and practical.

It is said that Apple first considered allowing the control center to support 3D Touch technology, and repressing the Wi-Fi or Bluetooth button can pop up to the window that responds to the settings menu, further achieving the effect of not opening or opening the corresponding page exhalation function. Other related new features of 3D Touch are unclear, but they may no longer be limited to the application of predetermined features.
