Downloading iOS10 is possibly the worst decision I have made all week, maybe even all month. Hyped to be the newest innovation in iPhone technology; however, this couldn't be further from the truth. Here are some thoughts we all had after downloading this pitiful update:
1. Did I make the right choice? The updates are usually pretty awful.
Every time I download a new iPhone update, I instantly regret it. Admittedly, I'll get use to it in a matter of weeks; however, the first few days in could be tragic to say the least.
2. How do I open my home screen?
Surprise! You can no longer swipe to unlock your home screen. What wizardry does it take to get to the main screen of your phone? Well, although it took me a solid three days to figure out, all you need to do is press your home button and you're there.
3. Why do the emojis look so different?
The emojis are totally different. If you thought the last update with additional emoji options was groundbreaking, think again. Now each and every one of them has a 3D-esc effect.
4. Wait, where did the gun emoji go?
The gun emoji which we all overused during finals, midterms, and other 'traumatic times' has now been replaced with a water gun. I don't think anyone's stress, anger, or frustration will ever be conveyed the same way using this new emoji. RIP gun emoji.
5. At least I can now delete those useless apps.
If one positive thing came from this update, it is that we can all now delete all those apps we never opened. Bye-bye stocks, compass, and pages.
6. Why would I ever need to send a firework background with my text?
This was fun the first two or three times, after a while it is just plain unnecessary.
7. Okay, maybe I'd use it if I had a big announcement.
Despite being unnecessary, I guess it could be beneficial to have in certain instances. You know, this will probably start a trend-- iPhone proposals, baby announcements, the list could go on and on.
8. I can draw out messages?
This is actually pretty fun. Not only could you write out a message that puts your Snapchat handwriting to shame, but it also comes with pre-written messages. Just in case you were already crappy enough to apologize to someone via text, you now have the option to make it even less personal by using a pre-made 'Sorry' doodle.
9. I'm gonna get a lot of questionable hand-drawn messages from my friends.
In addition to the pre-written messages, I have already received quite a few questionable doodles from my friends who have also downloaded iOS10. Use your imagination for that one.
10. I need to tell everyone left with iOS9 to cherish it for as long as they can.
All in all, iOS9 is dearly missed by all those who have made the grave mistake of downloading iOS10. Whatever you do, make sure you keep putting off those notifications to update your phone.
