As the new iOS update rolled out on Tuesday, and as many of us have been liking what we see, there are also some drawbacks.


1. As with any technological update, many users ran into installation issues

Many users who I see on a daily basis have told me that when they plugged their iPhone or iPad into their computer to update, they kept getting an error message that would have wiped out their entire iOS system, therefore the user loses all of their contacts, emails, messages, and applications. This can pose an issue unless you have completed a backup before installing.

2. Also, many Apple users “Bricked” their devices

It’s really not that difficult to “brick” your iOS device. Most brick issues come from a user jailbreaking their device, and then trying to undo the process. But this new update from Apple rendered a lot of iPhones useless after users tried to update.

3. Have an iPhone version earlier than the iPhone 5? You’re out of luck.

iOS 10 has only been released for the iPhone 5 and later versions, iPad 4th Generation, Mini 2 and later, and iPod generations 6th and later. The main reason for this is because the processors in the earlier versions cannot support many of the new features that come with the package. Another reason is the size of the update, which your phone has a pre-determined size for.

4. You may notice a slightly decreased response time

Since this is a new update, and almost completely revamped, you are going to notice some “sluggish” properties with your battery life decreasing and maybe some apps not responding correctly.

5. Some awesome new features!

Besides all of the issues that have come with installing iOS 10, Apple has given us some very useful and ergonomic features that many of us have already noticed!


The new lock screen for iOS 10 enabled devices may look the same, but notice that the option to unlock your phone has been modified. You may not elect to open your iPhone by pressing the home button, access the cameras by swiping left, and access a panel of apps, calendar events, weather, and news updates by swiping right.


Another new feature is the Messages application. The way messages are sent and received has gone through a makeover; you can now send photos easier, send a written message, send a heartbeat, and share songs through this new platform


Just like with the old iOS versions, you can access a task screen that will show recent notifications, now it is in a much more simple and clean format. Swiping right on this screen will allow you to access the same screen you received on your lock screen, as shown below:


So the new iOS seems pretty cool, right? Well not only that, it's in a much easier to understand and much cleaner format for those who had to spend time looking for something. Easier to find news, easier to find photos, easier to respond to messages, better data security, and interactive messaging features are what Apple has delivered.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
