iOS 10 entirely redesigns the home screen, getting rid of one of the iPhone’s most iconic features. The new update – released on 16 September – redesigns the lock screen so that people can find more information on it. Notifications are far richer and allow people to interact with them without actually opening the app, for instance, and it has a new “widgets” view that lets people see small versions of specific apps so they don’t need to actually unlock the phone.

Gone is the old method of “slide to unlock” that has been present in the iPhone and iPad since their very beginnings – and something slightly more confusing but more useful has taken its place.

If you were to ask someone what they liked most about the Australian-owned iconic hardware retailer Bunnings , the perennial sausage sizzle would likely be the first response, followed by the company’s memorable TV ads and jingles. Far less likely would be Bunnings’ strong margins and near-market dominance, and the continued shareholder returns these have driven for ASX-listed Australian parent company Wesfarmers. Bunnings is part of a bevy of iconic businesses in the Wesfarmers stable, with the Perth-based behemoth also overseeing interests in healthcare, chemicals and industrials, cementing it as the tenth-largest business on the local bourse.
