None of Apple's iOS devices are waterproof, which has become more
obvious as competitors such as Sony and Samsung launch fully waterproof
phones.
But a new iOS feature, spotted in the beta 3 version of iOS 10,
somewhat alleviates the issue by warning users when an iPhone's
lightning port gets wet.
Spotted by EverythingApplePro, the
feature appears to only work with the iPhone 6S, iPhone 6S Plus and
iPhone SE, even though it could theoretically work with newer iPads and
iPods, which sport a Lightning port as well.
If you get water in the Lightning port, your iPhone will display the following message:
Disconnect Lightning Accessory
Liquid has been detected in the Lightning connector.
To protect your iPhone, disconnected this Lightning accessory and allow the connector to dry.
In many cases, when you see this message it will already be too late.
But if it saves even a small percentage of iPhones about to die a
watery death, it'll be worth something.
This new feature tells us very little about the possibility of a
future waterproof iPhone. But the fact that Apple has included a
moisture sensor of some sort in its newer iPhones, and hasn't done
anything visible with it until iOS 10, is definitely intriguing.

Google CEO Eric Schmidt
opposed the development of an independent web browser for six years. He
stated that "at the time, Google was a small company," and he did not
want to go through "bruising browser wars." After co-founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page hired several Mozilla Firefox
developers and built a demonstration of Chrome, Schmidt admitted that
"It was so good that it essentially forced me to change my mind."[19]
Rumors of Google building a web browser first appeared in September
2004. Online journals and U.S. newspapers stated at the time that Google
was hiring former Microsoft web developers among others. It also came
shortly after the final 1.0 release of Mozilla Firefox, which was
surging in popularity and taking market share from Internet Explorer which was suffering from major security problems.[20]
Announcement
The release announcement was originally scheduled for September 3, 2008, and a comic by Scott McCloud was to be sent to journalists and bloggers explaining the features within the new browser.[21] Copies intended for Europe were shipped early and German blogger Philipp Lenssen of Google Blogoscoped[22] made a scanned copy of the 38-page comic available on his website after receiving it on September 1, 2008.[23] Google subsequently made the comic available on Google Books[24] and mentioned it on their official blog along with an explanation for the early release.[25] The product was allegedly named "Chrome" because Google wanted to minimize the chrome of the browser,[26]
though this meaning was added somewhat post-hoc, the 'codename' before
release apparently chosen from a connotation of speed (and most simply
as a derivative of 'Chromium').[27]

The browser was first publicly released for Microsoft Windows (XP and later versions) on September 2, 2008 in 43 languages, officially a beta version.[28]
On the same day, a CNET news item[29]
drew attention to a passage in the Terms of Service statement for the
initial beta release, which seemed to grant to Google a license to all
content transferred via the Chrome browser. This passage was inherited
from the general Google terms of service.[30]
Google responded to this criticism immediately by stating that the
language used was borrowed from other products, and removed this passage
from the Terms of Service.[11]
Chrome quickly gained about 1% usage share.[25][31][32][33]
After the initial surge, usage share dropped until it hit a low of
0.69% in October 2008. It then started rising again and by December
2008, Chrome again passed the 1% threshold.[34]
In early January 2009, CNET reported that Google planned to release versions of Chrome for OS X and Linux in the first half of the year.[35] The first official Chrome OS X and Linux developer previews[36] were announced on June 4, 2009 with a blog post[37] saying they were missing many features and were intended for early feedback rather than general use.
In December 2009, Google released beta versions of Chrome for OS X and Linux.[38][39] Google Chrome 5.0, announced on May 25, 2010, was the first stable release to support all three platforms.[40]

Siri will be a lot more useful in the next version of iOS.
The
iPhone voice assistant will work with and control many non-Apple apps,
get improved voice search and will even be baked into your MacBook or iMac. Siri will also have more predictive features, so you get the info you need without having to ask for it first.
Here are all the ways you can talk to Siri in iOS 10. If you haven't already, sign up for the beta that comes out in July to start using these features before the official launch.
Send cash to friends
Currently, the list of third-party apps that you can control through
Siri is short, such as Twitter or Facebook. However, Apple is opening up
Siri to third-party developers, meaning you might have access to
Spotify or Evernote through Siri.
A nice example of how this
could be very helpful is sending cash to someone using the Square Cash
app. It would go something like this: "Hey Siri, pay Sharon 10 dollars
with Square Cash."
This is a much faster and easier exchange
than thumbing through the Square Cash app, selecting the person to send
the money to and setting the dollar amount. And the same is true of any
other Siri integration -- the idea is to keep you out of apps as much as possible.
Order an Uber or pizza
You'll also be able to call for an Uber or Lyft without ever needing
to go into the app. Just queue up Siri and say, "Order a Lyft" or "Order
me an Uber." This applies to any company that adds support for Siri,
such as Dominos. You could say, "Order me a pizza from Dominos."
Send messages with third-party apps
CNET
At the moment, you can only send a message through Siri using the
native Messages or Mail apps. However, with third-party support coming
to Siri, you will be able to send messages to your friends and family
using any application that adds Siri support. For example, you might
say:
"Tell Melissa I'll be there in 5 minutes with WhatsApp."
"Send a WeChat to John saying 'Are we still on for tomorrow?'"
"Let John know I'm running a few minutes late in Skype."

The intelligence of Siri will also be available from your keyboard in iOS 10. What that means is Siri will parse your conversations in Messages
to offer up contextual input when, say, you go to enter a calendar
entry. Or if the person you are talking to asks for someone's email
address, Siri might automatically suggest it so you don't have to go
look it up.
This means the way you interact with Siri is getting
a little more hands-off. It's working in the background, and you don't
need to physically queue up the voice assistant to get suggestions.
Search YouTube on Apple TV
Siri is pretty great on Apple TV. It makes navigating and jumping to what you want quicker and easier than navigating with the trackpad on the included Apple TV
remote. However, if you want to search something like YouTube, you have
to open the YouTube app, scroll over to the Search tab, and press and
hold the Siri button to dictate.
With the next update to Apple
TV (later this month, according to Apple), you will be able to search
YouTube from anywhere Siri is available. Just hold the Siri button and
say, "Search YouTube for cat videos" or "Search CNET on YouTube."
The best part is that you will also be able to do this from your iPhone. Siri support is coming to the iOS Remote application this fall.
Jump to live television
There are many
applications on Apple TV that allow you to watch live television, like
CBS, FXNow, Discovery GO, and so on. And like with YouTube search on
Apple TV, you have to open each individual application and locate the
option to launch live TV.
After the update, however, you can simply say, "Watch ESPN" or "Watch CBS" to jump straight to the live feed of a channel.
Search for movies about specific topics
Siri also cannot search for certain types of movies currently. You can
search for a genre, actor, title, director or decade, etc. That said,
if you want a movie or show about something specific, such as baseball
or hiking, Siri can't help.
After the update, you will be able
to get more specific with your searches by saying, "Show me movies about
technology" or "Find high school comedies from the '80s."
Siri is also coming to the Mac. It will live in the menu bar, and you
will be able to call upon it for any of the normal tasks you're used to,
such as movie times, messaging and calling people, setting reminders or
toggling settings like Bluetooth and Wi-Fi.
All of the newer
Siri features will be available to you, as well. And you will be able to
search for files using Siri. For example, you will be able to say,
"Show me that spreadsheet I was working on last night" or "Find photos I
took last week."
Easy multitasking
On the Mac, at
least, Siri is set up to be a productivity machine. If you need to
search for a specific document, you can. But you can also drag and drop
items from Siri search results into documents you're working on, or pin
certain results in Notification Center for future reference.
Again, these updates are less about queuing up Siri in the moment, and
more about making Siri more useful in more places, and Siri on the Mac
makes a ton of sense. What isn't clear at this time is whether Siri will
have a hotkey or button combination. It's very likely, but still an
unknown.
Control your home from new devices
With
HomeKit, Apple added the ability to control any compatible smart home
devices using Siri. However, these commands are currently limited to
iPads, iPhones, iPods and Apple Watches. The Apple TV can work as a
remote hub for HomeKit, so you can control your compatible smart home
devices from virtually anywhere using Siri. But if you tried to issue
the same commands to Siri on your fourth-generation Apple TV, you would
be met with a response that reads, "Sorry, I can't help you with HomeKit
here."
Apple is taking the steps to unify the Siri experience
across all its devices. With the next round of updates, you will be able
to control all of your HomeKit devices from Siri on the Apple TV and
Mac.
Just say, "Turn on the lights" or "Lock the front door" from any of your Siri-enabled Apple devices.
Change the station and turn on AC in the car
Siri for CarPlay is arguably the most useful implementation of the
voice assistant. From your car, you can currently queue up Siri with a
button on the steering wheel and issue commands to it just as you would
from your phone or Mac. You can ask for directions to a location, send a
message to your friend or even create reminders and calendar entries.
However, with the coming updates, CarPlay will receive all the same
Siri updates as the other devices. What that means is third-party
support, putting some of the control of CarPlay into the hands of the
car manufacturers. In other words, you will be able adjust climate
control and tune the radio with your voice, among other things, such as
playing music with Spotify or sending a message through WhatsApp.
