Many apps are still compatible with devices running iOS 10, but some newer apps or updates may require a more recent iOS version. Before downloading, check the app's requirements in the App Store. If an app needs a higher iOS version, you may not be able to install it on an iOS 10 device. For basic tasks like browsing, emailing, and streaming, most popular apps continue to work well. If you rely on specific apps, reviewing their compatibility can help you decide if an iOS 10 device meets your needs.

• Restored devices have been professionally inspected, cleaned, and repaired to meet specific quality standards. They often come with a warranty and are tested for full functionality.
• Pre-owned devices are previously used and may not have undergone the same level of refurbishment. They’re typically sold as-is, though they’re checked for basic working condition.

Choosing between restored and pre-owned depends on your preference for warranty coverage and assurance of quality. Both options can offer savings compared to new devices.

1. Go to the device settings and tap General > About.
2. Look for the Carrier Lock or Network Provider section. If it says "No SIM restrictions," the phone is unlocked.
3. You can also insert a SIM card from another carrier to see if the device connects.

Unlocked phones can be used with most carriers, giving you flexibility if you travel or switch providers. If you’re buying from Walmart, check the product description for "unlocked" status.

iOS 10 is well-suited for essential tasks like web browsing, email, streaming, and reading. Tablets running iOS 10 offer a user-friendly interface and reliable performance for everyday activities. However, some advanced features or newer apps may require later iOS versions. If you’re looking for a device for basic use—like schoolwork, entertainment, or staying connected—iOS 10 tablets can be a practical and affordable choice.

Whether you can update an iOS 10 device depends on its model. Some older devices may not support newer iOS versions due to hardware limitations. To check for updates, go to Settings > General > Software Update. If an update is available, you’ll see the option to download and install it. If not, the device is likely limited to iOS 10. Staying on iOS 10 still allows you to use many features, but newer updates may offer enhanced security and functionality.
