Big things are happening in the Apple world this month, from the unveiling of the long-awaited iPhone 7 to the software update that Apple has deemed their “biggest release yet,” iOS 10. Though it does have some cool features, it’s certainly not life-altering.

The software wasn’t set to be released until today, but it was recently leaked online. After further investigation, I saw that the software was signed off by Apple still and it is secure.

Ten minutes later, I had contentment. The very first thing I noticed was the fact that my phone wakes up as soon as I pick it up. I don’t need to push the power or the home buttons anymore to wake it up. Next was how the notifications appeared. Apple has strayed away from the simple rectangle that they’ve implemented for years and they have now adopted something equally as sleek: bubbles. Then I saw that I also have the ability to slide right and see reminders, news stories, events in my calendar and the weather. Keep in mind that I had not even unlocked my phone as this point in my adventure.

After pushing my home button — which is how you use your fingerprint to unlock your iPhone now — I noticed a new app: Home. This is a new feature that allows iPhone users to access security systems within their homes. As a 17-year-old, I didn’t see much of a use for this feature.

The next thing I did was open messages and that’s when I saw some crazy changes.

To start with, you can now send stickers and pre-loaded pictures, memes and gifs. What’s next? The ability to draw in your texts. You can send texts in your own handwriting or you can draw little masterpieces and send them to your friends. Although I haven’t tried it yet, you can also change the appearance of your conversation bubbles.

Some other minor changes include photo album appearance, music organization and a new and improved mapping system.

All in all, the new software has a very sleek design and the opportunity to be extremely functional and useful if used correctly. If you’re on the edge about whether or not you want to go ahead and update, go for it. It’s not all it’s hyped up to be, but it isn’t a waste of time either.
