The new iPhones will arrive pre-loaded with iOS 10, the latest version of Apple’s operating system, which launches today. “Anyone who was affected should connect to iTunes to complete the update or contact AppleCare for help”, the company says.

Attempts to download the update yielded an error message for some, explaining they needed to plug their phone into iTunes on a computer to fix the problem.
It seems like only yesterday that I was installing Apple’s first over-the-air update to my iPhone 3GS (and accidentally bricking it in the process). Instead, the new phones will use Apple’s Lightning connector for audio, although users will be able to connect older headphones and earbuds via an adaptor.
Apple’s latest upgrade to iOS 10 is said to be packed with a range of features. iOS 10 will be enhancing its 3D touch architecture to grant quicker access to core functions without physically opening the apps.
If you want to annotate photos or just to draw something amusing on them, iOS 10 has a feature called Markup for you.

Perhaps the most talked-about addition comes in iMessages where you can now send “Tapback” reactions, add larger emojis and use “emojification” in which the app looks at what you have written and allows you to substitute emojis for certain words.
