Last week at its “See you on the 7th” event, Apple announced that it will be releasing iOS 10 to the public on September 13.
We have received a lot of queries from readers asking us at what time iOS 10 will be available.
Since 2010, Apple had released a major software update at this time. If you’re wondering what time it will be released in your time zone then we’ve you covered. Check the table below to find out what time it may get released in your time zone.
Tue = Tuesday, 13 September 2016 (120 places).

How well do you think it will perform on a 5c?
Man, you still on here pitching Apple products? I remember us going at it a decade and a half ago! You’ll be pleased to know I’m typing this from my 2011 iMac and I haven’t used a Windows product since XP.
I’ve had iOS 10 on a iPhone 5 that I use strictly for video backup for several weeks. Its seems OK but I haven’t done much with it. I’ll probably wait until this weekend to put it on the phone and iPad I use.
Fine. There’s no meaningful delay on a 5, but that’s just with superficial usage. The video app I’ve got (FilmicPro) has worked without hiccups but on short videos. You should be fine.
Nope, not pitching Apple products. I'm supporting the ~750 members of the Apple Ping List who've each asked me to keep them appraised of what's happening with their products they use. Glad to see you saw the light. ;^)
I think it is the minimum iPhone I would be running iOS 10 on. . . A lot of the hardware that 10 is designed for is missing on the 5.
Have you posted a list of the differences?
I use the best tool for the job. Apple is a better company post-iPhone and their products are MUCH better than they were prior to 2000. Plus the advertising is a bit more honest and with more users like me, it isn’t AS MUCH a cult as it once was. I’m not sure people such as yourself that have been Apple users and fans for as long as you have really understood how big a turnoff that was. Maybe it shouldn’t have been, but it was.
I do still think they should license clones for OSX or MacOS or whatever it is now, but that’s getting to be less and less of an issue these days. I’d like something with a little more horsepower than the Mac mini for my studio setup without having to pay for a Mac Pro. But I need a 32” or larger screen, so the iMac isn’t a good fit.
I just hope Apple doesn’t kill the Pro apps line like they killed Aperture.

iOS 10: All the new features, tips and guides (Video)
C-Net — by Sharon Profis — September 12, 2016
iOS 10 is set to drop the morning of Tuesday, September 13. Even though it looks just like iOS 9, a lot -- and we mean a lot -- of features are radically different. Messages is a lot more like Facebook Messenger, the lock screen packs a lot more info, and you can finally delete Apple's default apps.
There's a lot more to know, so bookmark this page as you get started with iOS 10.
Wait -- read this first
Have an iPhone 5 or iPhone 5C? Skip the update. Even though iOS 10 is technically compatible with these older devices, we recommend taking a wait-and-see approach before updating your phone. If you have one of these devices, read this to find out more about the potential drawbacks of updating.
10 reasons to update. If you have an iPhone 6 or newer, we recommend updating to iOS 10. The update brings loads of new ways to use your phone, including these 10 features we love most.
Prep your phone before updating. Ready to update? Here's how to prep your phone, including a guide to properly backing it up.
Now you're ready to download the update. Check back for details on how to update to iOS 10 as soon as it's released.
iOS 10 basics
We found 23 hidden features. There's a bunch of hidden features you can easily miss in the new update. A CNET favorite is that you can be more selective about who gets read receipts in Messages. Here are all 23 hidden tips.
New Siri features. We know -- Siri wasn't always the most reliable assistant, but iOS 10 made it a lot more useful. She can now hail an Uber, add suggestions to your Messages and more. Here are 11 things the new Siri can do.
You can now delete apps! Kind of. Apple finally (finally!) lets you delete apps like Maps, Stocks and even Mail. You can delete all 23 stock apps, but there's a catch.
All the major changes
- Control Center. This looks a lot different. Music shifted over to the right and there are now 3D Touch options.
- Safari. View two tabs at once? Yes, please.
- Photos. Memories automatically organize your photos for you, Google Photos-style.
- Lock screen. You might hate the new lock screen. This guide will help you love it.
- Widgets. Apple finally warmed up to widgets, which act like mini-apps in your lock screen.
- Messages. It's like Facebook Messenger and Snapchat had a baby.
- Notifications. The new notification style makes it much less necessary to unlock your phone.
- Music. Music gets a much-needed revamp and new features, like a setting that gets the app to automatically download songs you add to your library.
And still is.
I guess we'll both find out.
LOL. Yes indeed!
Thanx Swordmaker. And thanx for your pinglist. God only knows how you can tolerate the anklebiting Apple 8ers!
You and me both!
I’m appreciate your efforts. :-)
Looking forward to the reviews of iOS 10. I always wait until after learning about improvements and bugs prior to updating.
Haven’t been keeping up with iOS 10 news...but the 1st thing I did see is “no more swipe to the right to unlock”....push the Home button! So I have to wear out my Home button 2x as fast now?!?! I think I will be implementing that “accessibility fix” 1st thing if I do upgrade on my iPhone 6: http://www.iphonehacks.com/2016/09/disable-press-home-unlock-feature-ios-10.html or https://www.cnet.com/how-to/heres-how-to-navigate-the-ios-10-lock-screen/
Probably a no go on our iPhone 5 and 4th Gen iPad (A1460 - Late 2012) the iPad is slow enough already after iOS 9 and the newer updated apps lately.
Anyone else having problems with the “Notification screen” on older/slower iOS devices? (Problems deleting notifications w/”flashing” and momentary freezes).
There is a principle of psychology which suggests that the more we pay for something, the more of a need we have to believe it was a good purchase. And we hold onto the position that “Brand X is the greatest” as long as possible - even longer. But when it become really impossible to sustain that position, we react as if betrayed. Suddenly “Brand X is the greatest” can invert to “Brand X is a lemon.”I started out buying an Apple IIc, and it was - OK. I used a Mac at work for awhile. My brother bought a 286 machine, and he later gave me a 486 (I ended up getting him a later model Wintel later). So I was fairly agnostic about brands. But as the Internet became the killer app, the virus problem became more and more of an issue. A nagging worry. And then along came a phishing attack which successfully exploited my worry. And I guess I got pretty mad.
The thing I understood was that antivirus software - which I tried, and found to be both inadequately reassuring, and a royal pain - was a band aid fix. The problem inhered in personal computer operating systems - Apple II, DOS, Windows, original Macintosh, you name it - which were designed as single-user systems, implicitly trusting that whatever instructions came to it were valid expressions of the only will that mattered, that of the owner of the computer. Viruses would exist, and succeed, against any OS which was not designed more robustly - designed to handle multiple users who could not trust each other, and designed to remain standing when an app crashed. The salient example of such an OS was Unix™.
Finally, Apple bit the bullet and transitioned the Mac from OS 9 to OS X, based - like Linux - on Unix. Linux was not ready for prime time as an OS for me. I have a technical background, it’s just that it is not in computer science. I want to use a computer, and I don’t want to have to care about all the details of the files that make the OS work. Linux was not able to deliver that, DOS/Windows was at its core a naive, obsolete design, and OS X was Unix (near enough, it finally became officially UNIX™ with the Leopard version). So the Mac became, as you put it, “the best tool for the job.”
From that perspective it becomes hard to see why anyone would disagree that a Mac wasn’t a better tool than Windows - except for the legacy apps, and the legacy expertise people had in FORD (Fix Or Repair Daily) and legacy hardware in its ecosystem. All of which put Windows’ users in the category of clinging, against all evidence, to the idea that "Brand X is the greatest” when we could clearly see that in fact “Brand X is a lemon.” I said “all evidence” - but that is not true. The reality was that the Power PC cpu disappointed. But Steve Jobs bit the bullet again, switched OS X to Intel processors, and eliminated even that justification for “Brand X is the greatest.”
In that context it is very understandable that a person who was invested professionally, monetarily (in the cost of his personal computer) and (therefore) emotionally would find the “I’m a Mac” ads excruciating. They were intended to be, because they were intended to push people through the tunnel from “Brand X is the greatest” to “Brand X is a lemon.” The really galling thing about those ads was the extent to which they were true.
I’m running a 2009 Mac Pro with an 8-core Nehalim processors and 32 gig of RAM — yet Sierra specs say it won’t run on it since it’s a 2009.
