Why iOS 10's New Features Mean It Might Be The Best Update Yet
theverge.com

Apple is making some big improvements and releasing some big news lately. Not only have they announced the new iPhone 7 and the second generation Apple Watch, but they also announced the new iOS 10. It's an update for your phone that you might actually want to download as soon as it comes out. There are a lot of new features included with this update to make most iPhone users extremely happy.

One major feature that everyone seems to be excited about with this new update is the new emojis. Though it doesn't appear there are any new food emojis being added, there are about 70 others, so get excited about that. They are much more diverse, including different genders for the sports emojis and the addition of a woman construction worker and police officer. More diverse families have been added as well. For example, there are now single parent families. It's about time Apple recognizes and adds more diversity and gender equality in their emojis. If you want to see all of the new emojis, you could either wait for the update or check out TechCrunch for a sneak peak.

Another exciting feature with the update is the improvements with Apple Maps. You can now set a route to specifically avoid tolls and stop along your route to find restaurants, gas stations and other stops without having to completely end your trip. They have also added a Find My Car feature so you won't lose your car in a parking lot again. Clearly, the people at Apple know the struggle.

Apple has finally answered to our cries and pleas about being able to delete unwanted apps. With the new update, you'll finally be able to delete those pesky apps that automatically came with your phone. Yea, I'm looking at you, stocks and compass. It's been nice knowing you, but storage space is more important. And if you want them back, all you have to do is go into settings and voila, there they are.

The clock app will now have a bedtime feature included that tracks your sleeping habits and will be connected with the Health app. You'll get reminders and data to help your sleeping habits stay on track. It helps you get up and go to bed at the same times every day, so your sleep is more even and regular.

There is another way to optimize storage space on your iPhone as well. You'll be able to tell your phone to delete songs you haven't listened to in a while in order to free up some space. You can always re-download the songs later if you all of the sudden want to listen to them again.

There are plenty of other features included with the update that will prove to be super useful. Be sure to download the update, you won't regret it.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
