After multiple betas, Apple has now rolled out iOS 10.1 to compatible iPhone and iPad models. However, unless you’re rocking a brand new iPhone 7 Plus, there’s not a lot to get excited about.
The final version brings a beta version of new Portrait mode feature, which capitalises on the dual camera lenses exclusive to the larger Apple handset.
Portrait mode enables iPhone users to take snaps with artificially blurred backgrounds, producing a bokeh effect more commonly obtained by using DSLR cameras.

Elsewhere, the update features bug fixes for various issues as well as the addition of Japanese transit directions.
To update to iOS 10.1, head to the Software Updates section of General settings.
