| Apple has completely redesigned iOS Maps, US users will get it first - TechSpot Posted: 30 Jan 2020 05:12 PM PST The big picture: Apple's Maps in iOS was a buggy mess when it first released. Over the years, the developers have improved it, but it's never been a real competitor to Google Maps. The smartphone maker is hoping to change that with a fresh coat of paint and a load of new features added to the latest update of its navigation tool.On Thursday, Apple rolled out an updated native Maps app to all iOS users in the United States. The redesign was already pushed out to a few southeastern states late last year, presumably for beta testing. Cupertino says it will implement the changes in Europe "in the coming months." Maps for iOS has been slow to get fixed from its terrible bug-riddled 2012 launch. The latest redesign was initially announced back in 2018, but even at that time, Apple had spent four years reworking the highly under-performing navigator.
The most noticeable difference will be in the amount of detail seen on the non-satellite view. Parks, buildings, and landmarks will be much more visible now. However, to my eye, it does make some of the smaller residential streets hard to see (comparison above). Apple says that the app will also be faster and more responsive. Navigation is supposed to be more accurate, as well. Hopefully, Siri will now remind you to get in the turning lane well before you pass the end of the line during rush hour, but no guarantees. "We set out to create the best and most private maps app on the planet that is reflective of how people explore the world today," said Apple's Internet Software and Services Senior Vice President Eddie Cue. "It is an effort we are deeply invested in and required that we rebuild the map from the ground up to reimagine how Maps enhances people's lives."
In addition to the new look, Maps has its alternative to Google's Street View called "Look Around." It is limited to only a handful of cities, including Las Vegas and San Francisco, but Apple promises more places will become viewable in future updates. My Places is still a feature, although now it is called Favorites. It allows you to save locations so you can find them quickly and initiate navigation with one touch. However, now you can share lists of your favorite places, such as restaurants, with others using the newly added Collections. There are quite a few other tweaks, including indoor maps, real-time transit schedules, Flyover, better privacy, and more. Details are available in Apple's press release.

| Android 10 rolling out to Samsung Galaxy S10 series (Update: T-Mobile 5G variant) - Android Police Posted: 30 Jan 2020 11:55 PM PST Previous rollouts United Kingdom
Stable Android 10 has started rolling out to One UI 2.0 beta users in the UK today. If the German launch is any indication, the software will soon also reach people currently on Android 9. India and Kuwait Android 10 is continuing its rollout and is hitting India and Kuwait as we speak. It's already coming to people currently using the stable release of Android 9, so it probably won't take too long until everyone using these phones will get it. Brazil, Caribbean, Greece, Israel, Netherlands, Norway, UAE Android 10 has started rolling out to many more countries, and we can confirm it's available in Brazil, the Caribbean, Greece, Israel, the Netherlands, Norway, and the United Arab Emirates. Our tipsters report that they're updating straight from the stable Android 9 release, so it probably won't take too long until it hits all eligible devices in these locations and probably many more. Customers in the United States might have to wait a little longer, though they should receive the new software by January judging from Samsung's roadmap. Galaxy S10 5G rollout The update was first limited to the 4G variants of the S10, but according to SamMobile, Android 10 is now also hitting the Galaxy S10 5G. First One UI 2.0 beta users in South Korea are reporting that the stable release is rolling out to their devices. As with the other S10 models, it probably won't take much time until the new software also reaches people using Android 9. Hopefully, owners in other regions won't be left in the cold for too long. US, Canada, and more According to SamMobile, the rollout has now reached the US and Canada. It looks like Sprint, T-Mobile, and Verizon variants are the first to get Android 10 in the United States while Canadians are receiving the update across most or all carriers.
The update weighs roughly 2.3GB for Sprint users. The update is also currently becoming available to Galaxy S10 series owners in the following countries: Unlocked US devices
A tipster just told us that unlocked devices in the US are also already receiving the update. It looks like Android 10 is thus rolling out to most variants of the phone in the United States even though Samsung's original roadmap pointed to a January release. Way to go! Verizon changelog, rollout in Czech Republic, Lebanon, and Slovakia The Android 10 rollout is continuing and has reached the Czech Republic, Lebanon, and Slovakia over the last few days. Additionally, US carrier Verizon has published a changelog that might be interesting to glance over for anyone receiving the update. The details: Release date: 12/16/2019 What's changing: This software update brings the latest Android 10 OS, with new features including Live Transcribe, Smart Reply, improved Gestures and Camera UX, and Focus Mode. Night Mode has been renamed to Dark Mode. The latest Android security patch is also included in this update. Android 10 OS Update Android 10 OS offers some of the newest ways to control your privacy, customize your phone, and get things done. It's Android, just the way you want it.
AT&T, Australia
We've got confirmation that the update is also rolling out to devices locked to AT&T, so all S10 variants in the US should now be receiving Android 10. Additionally, the first Australian owners report that they can download the latest OS version. New Zealand, Philippines, Romania
The Galaxy S10 Android 10 update keeps coming to new territories around the world, and we're happy to report that owners in New Zealand, Philippines, and Romania should be receiving the new Android flavor at the moment. |
