iOS 10.1: It works on these iPhones
Shortly after the new iOS 10 comes the 10.1 update, which cures some teething troubles from iOS 10. This practical tip will tell you whether the operating system is compatible with your iPhone.
IOS 10.1 runs on these iPhone models
The new iOS 10.1 no longer runs on all iPhones. Users of older models are left behind and cannot use the latest innovations. Not all functions are also available on all models.
- If you are the proud owner of an iPhone 7, you do not need to worry and you can easily download iOS 10.1. Here the new function "Portrait camera for iPhone 7 Plus beta" with depth effect for your pictures is interesting.
- Even with an iPhone 6s or iPhone 6s Plus, you have no problems installing the new operating system. Starting with these models, the iPhone can also be activated by lifting it.
- Likewise, your iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus are sufficient to use new features such as iMessage effects. However, neither iPhone 6 nor iPhone 6 Plus can be activated by lifting.
- Many of the practical features of iOS 10.1 are also available on the iPhone 5s and iPhone SE.
- If you have an iPhone 5 or an iPhone 5c, iOS 10.1 also runs on your smartphone.
- Regardless of your model, some features of iOS 10.1 are country-specific. There are hardly any restrictions in Germany: in addition to Apple Pay, only the news app, restaurant reservations and film reviews about Siri are not available.
