A typically long but well-written overview with more details of the big new iOS we’ll be getting in the fall.

This is a little thing but it shows Apple is removing the hooks these apps had in the OS and making them stand alone. So we can delete them to our heart’s content.

This is a really interesting article that makes the point that, in a global economy, it’s almost impossible to make global products in just one country.

Basically, anything powered by the second-generation A5 chips and the iPad 2’s A5X chip is the new minimum requirement set by iOS 10. For the iPhone, that means the iPhone 5 and newer.
