As you'll all be aware of by now, Apple's most recent update iOS 10.2 went live yesterday so let's have a look at what we've been dealt.

The main thing to note is Apple's improvement on the video app. It was mentioned in their new MacBook Pro reveal and now it's available on iOS. This companion TV app means you don't have to jump in and out of applications to check out different shows and builds up a collective list of recommendations depending on what you like to watch.

The two downsides of this is that Netflix isn't supported as of yet - which is what most people use anyway - and as of yet the app is only available to those in the US.

If you're an iPhone 7/Plus user you've got a few new wallpapers to choose from, and all iOS users will be getting their hands on 100 new emojis as well as the original bunch having a bit of a polish. In terms of your camera app, the latest update means that you can 'preserve' your favourite settings so that they don't reset when the app is closed. That's pretty handy for those budding photographers.

There was a bunch of little things added and general bug fixes to go along this these bigger updates so check out the description on iTunes and run the update if you want to.
