Preview of iOS 10 Public Beta

By Gadjo Cardenas Sevilla

iOS 10 is the biggest update to Apple's mobile operating system that's now celebrating it's 9th birthday.

Apple is making iOS 10 and macOS Sierra available as public beta. This is so the public can install the OS's and act as beta testers to help squash bugs and get a feel for what's coming. I don't advice anyone to install beta software, specially a device's operating system, on any device they use on a daily basis. That said, you can find out out more about Apple's Beta Releases here.

The BlackBerry Classic showcased the best of what BlackBerry devices had to offer. High-end and innovative hardware with a rock solid QWERTY keyboard typing experience as well as security and no nonsene encryption in heaps and bounds.

Samsung Galaxy Note7 renders and name leaked

It seems Samsung has opted to skip a number and go from Note 5 to Note7. The above renders  from Evan Blass confirm the name and some of the colours expected from Sammy's next-gen phablet. What else do we know about this device, it will have a double edge display, an iris scanner and will offer the SPen Stylus which will hopefully be better designed than the Note 5's notorious SPen which could get stuck when placed the wrong way in. We're hearing August 2 is the release date for the device, at least in the UK.
