lifewire's editorial guidelines Updated on August 29, 2021 Tweet Share Email Tweet Share Email iPhone & iOS Switching from Android The release of a new version of the iOS always brings with it excitement about the new features it delivers to iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch owners. When the initial excitement starts to wear off, though, that excitement is replaced with one extremely important question: Is my device compatible with iOS 10? For owners who bought their devices in the 4-5 years prior to the release of iOS 10, the news was good.

All updates maintained compatibility with all of the devices in the table above. Most of the updates primarily delivered bug and security fixes. However, some delivered notable new features, including iOS 10.1 (depth-of-field camera effect on iPhone 7 Plus), iOS 10.2 (TV app), and iOS 10.3 (Find My AirPods support and the new APFS filesystem).

That's not ideal, but many older models can still use iOS 9 (find out which models are iOS 9 compatible). If your device isn't supported, that suggests that it's fairly old. This may also be a good time to upgrade to a new device, since that not only gives you compatibility with iOS 10 but also all sorts of hardware improvements.

On iOS 10, you can customize CarPlay by rearranging and removing apps. Siri must be enabled to use CarPlay. Can I turn off system haptics on iOS 10?
