The New iOS 10 Update, The Good and The Bad

For iOS users, this is for you!

As the new iOS update rolled out on Tuesday, and as many of us have been liking what we see, there are also some drawbacks.


1. As with any technological update, many users ran into installation issues

Many users who I see on a daily basis have told me that when they plugged their iPhone or iPad into their computer to update, they kept getting an error message that would have wiped out their entire iOS system, therefore the user loses all of their contacts, emails, messages, and applications. This can pose an issue unless you have completed a backup before installing.

2. Also, many Apple users “Bricked” their devices

It’s really not that difficult to “brick” your iOS device. Most brick issues come from a user jailbreaking their device, and then trying to undo the process. But this new update from Apple rendered a lot of iPhones useless after users tried to update.

3. Have an iPhone version earlier than the iPhone 5? You’re out of luck.

iOS 10 has only been released for the iPhone 5 and later versions, iPad 4th Generation, Mini 2 and later, and iPod generations 6th and later. The main reason for this is because the processors in the earlier versions cannot support many of the new features that come with the package. Another reason is the size of the update, which your phone has a pre-determined size for.

4. You may notice a slightly decreased response time

Since this is a new update, and almost completely revamped, you are going to notice some “sluggish” properties with your battery life decreasing and maybe some apps not responding correctly.

5. Some awesome new features!

Besides all of the issues that have come with installing iOS 10, Apple has given us some very useful and ergonomic features that many of us have already noticed!


The new lock screen for iOS 10 enabled devices may look the same, but notice that the option to unlock your phone has been modified. You may not elect to open your iPhone by pressing the home button, access the cameras by swiping left, and access a panel of apps, calendar events, weather, and news updates by swiping right.


Another new feature is the Messages application. The way messages are sent and received has gone through a makeover; you can now send photos easier, send a written message, send a heartbeat, and share songs through this new platform


Just like with the old iOS versions, you can access a task screen that will show recent notifications, now it is in a much more simple and clean format. Swiping right on this screen will allow you to access the same screen you received on your lock screen, as shown below:


So the new iOS seems pretty cool, right? Well not only that, it's in a much easier to understand and much cleaner format for those who had to spend time looking for something. Easier to find news, easier to find photos, easier to respond to messages, better data security, and interactive messaging features are what Apple has delivered.

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

Being pre-med is quite a journey. It’s not easy juggling school work, extracurricular activities, volunteering, shadowing, research, and MCAT prep all at the same time. Ever heard of “pain is temporary, but GPA is forever?” Pre-meds don’t just embody that motto; we live and breathe it. Here are 10 symptoms you’re down with the pre-med student syndrome.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.

One Book Made Me Question Existence In Its Entirety

"The Stranger" by Albert Campus touches upon many heavy elements... but not in the way you expect. Although it touches upon the aspects of death and love, it also deals with a hidden philosophy similar to that of nihilism.

The story follows the short life events of Meursault, a Frenchman whose carelessness for his actions eventually ends him in jail and dependent on a jury of people to judge the ethicality of his decision and the punishment that he deserves. He eventually gets the death penalty and all throughout he is nonchalant and almost apathetic towards his situation. He finally snaps when the prison sends a priest to him to absolve him of his sins and to cajole him in confessing to the lord.
