If it\u2019s true, then as Steve Jobs and Tim Cook would say, \u201cthis changes everything\u201d. And in some ways it would. Apart from that, expect the obligatory 50% faster this, 30% better that, just enough to make you feel that the iPhone 6S is as cutting edge as Sony Walkmans.<\/p>\n<h3>iOS 10<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-90128 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2016\/09\/iOS.png\" alt=\"iOS\" width=\"783\" height=\"176\" srcset=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2016\/09\/iOS.png 783w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2016\/09\/iOS-300x67.png 300w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2016\/09\/iOS-768x173.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 783px) 100vw, 783px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s going to better than iOS 9, obviously. I mean, there&#8217;s no doubt that there\u2019ll be many new features, but we\u2019re expecting a nip and tuck more than a lose-50-pounds, dyed-your-hair-blue, get-a-nose-ring kind of massive overhaul. You should look forward to the new notifications screen, and the ability to delete stock apps (like that useless Tips app).

Under the wrapper, expect to find a brand new app drawer, split-screens, battery-saving doze\u00a0mode, and many more new features. The update is currently being rolled out to Nexus devices, and for the rest of us, it\u2019ll depend on your smartphone manufacturer and mobile service provider.

Just around the corner are the latest generation of Nexus devices and although nothing has been officially revealed yet, plenty of rumors are making their rounds. Such as it being HTC-made, latest Snapdragon processors, 4GB RAM, possible a QHD screen, but most excitingly, a pressure sensitive feature like Apple\u2019s 3D touch. If you\u2019re planning on getting a new Android phone, it\u2019d be wise to starve off the craving at least for a few more weeks.<\/p>\n<h3>What are your thoughts and predictions?
