The new version offers an array of enhanced features that may set apart iPhones yet again from other popular smartphones available in the market.

Towards this end, Apple announced at WWDC yesterday that it would now be offering the digital assistant for developers, so that it can be integrated with their applications.
Yes, you heard it right.

“macOS Sierra is a major update that makes your Mac smarter and more helpful than ever with improvements to the apps you know and love and great new features throughout”, said Craig Federighi, Apple’s senior vice president of Software Engineering. This is one feature that even Android doesn’t have.
Siri is also being given the ability to interact with non-Apple apps, including Pinterest, Uber and WhatsApp. While you’re struggling to delete some apps from your device to make sure there’s still enough storage space for the most important apps, Apple was busy and quietly fixing one of the most annoying things about the iOS. This is the first time when Siri is arriving on computers and it is a big change. Users can ask Siri to search for romantic or action movies. This will allow users to search the web, and perform other tasks, through voice control. It also overhauls photos, music and messages. iOS 10 will be available as a free software update for iPhone 5 and later versions, iPad Air and iPad Pro, iPad 4th generation, iPad Mini 2 and later versions, and iPod Touch 6th generation. It involves Xcode that optimizes users app for messaging and prevents them from add useless features. This means that you don’t have to click through a link to see the photo or video someone wants to bring to your attention. The app will also group photos based on trips, people, and activities, in what Apple calls “Memories”.
Maps have gotten much better with this upgrade.

Another key element in Sierra is that you can have access to the content in your clipboard across all devices via iCloud. You can even sub-filter destinations and locations. There is now no option to use Google Maps for Yelp, so if users delete Apple Maps, opening Yelp would launch an error message looking for Apple Maps.
