iOS 10.2 is finally here, much to the rejoice of iPhone and iPad owners. The update introduces support for the all-new TV app (U.S. only), and also brings 100 new emoji to the table. The company has now included the previously reported emergency SOS button on the device which will automatically contact your predefined contacts in times of danger. This is an excellent feature to have an enhances the security of the iPhone users. The regular bunch of security patches and bug fixes are on board as well.
One of my favorite additions, however, is the inclusion of new wallpapers for the iPhone 7 and the 7 Plus. While the current collection isn’t too bad, it seems like Apple wanted to spice things up a bit and offer users a lot more out of their shiny new iPhones. There are only three new wallpapers, though.
In terms of marketshare, Apple is leaps and bounds ahead of its industry rival. Over 63% of all iOS devices are running iOS 10 right now, speaking volumes about the company’s streamlined update strategy. It will be interesting to see how many of these users will update to iOS 10.2, but given that the update is already seeding to the users, we don’t think the customers will want to wait much longer.
There are some minor cosmetic tweaks with iOS 10.2 as well. Observant users will be able to see minor design changes with the shuffle and repeat buttons on the Music app.
