Apple has revealed their new and upcoming iOS 10 update for iPhones and iPads during their Worldwide Developers Conference packed with features like RAW photography but some are still missing like the file manager.
Fans who have been anticipating the iOS 9.3 jailbreaks will be glad to know that the hacking teams will focus on the iOS 10 instead when it officially launches by fall. Developer Preview of the new iOS version has already rolled out and the public beta is slated for July.
There have been a lot of new features included in the new version from the Cupertino-based tech giant. Apple has already been expected by the media and their fans to unveil the major update at their WWDC event in the past several months.
One of the largest features in iOS 10 is the capability to capture photos in RAW image files, Cult of Mac has learned. The update would finally allow users to save their captured images in RAW which will have more details and more headroom for editing later on through a third-party photo-processing software like Adobe Photoshop or Adobe Lightroom.
RAW files are the uncompressed images. They are often used by professional photographers as their DSLRs allow them to capture photos in the file type, which is considerably larger than the popular but compressed quality JPEG file.
One problem that this adds is that iPhone users still stuck with a 16GB model will have to transfer their files more often if they want to shoot RAW. For those who have 32GB or 64 GB iPhone 6 devices, it would not be so much of a problem.
The iOS 10 still does not address everything that the consumers need as a stock file manager is still missing in the update, Forbes reported. The iPad users will benefit most from a file manager as they would be able to organize, transfer, delete and copy files with ease instead of having to do it through a Mac or via iTunes.
Apple has already released the iOS 10 Developer Preview while the public beta will follow next month. All of the viable devices will receive the update sometime in Fall and they will be able to shoot photographs in RAW using the rear camera.
