I know that each of you have been waiting for this moment more than the release of new iPhone and Apple Watch. iOS 8 - this is a new product from Apple, which can enjoy every one of us. Finally she came out and we are ready to present a full overview of all the innovations, chips, performance and features of the new iOS!

The first thing worth mentioning - this time work. take a few days for a full test, but pass with iOS 8 GM's, I realized that things are not so good. However, thanks to the advice of one of our readers, I understand how it can be corrected.

Resetting the network helps to solve the problem with the time of the old devices.

After this procedure, my iPhone 5 began to work much longer and I guess the same thing will not hurt to do and came out iOS 8. Let's start with the settings. What new can be configured in iOS? A lot of everything.

Overview over.

The notice will be only one feature that I really waited a long time. Now all application notifications can be turned off with one button. It is not clear why Apple was so long for this, but you came. And this is good! Another new feature allows you to respond to notifications directly from the lock screen or pop-up window.

There was a separate Handoff settings tab. So far, only standard Apple applications, but I think that the first third-party applications appear almost immediately. This function works well enough, and I can think of many ways to its application.

Of course it is worth mentioning the possibility to monitor how much energy is consumed by each separate application. In my case glutton - is Tweetbot, which is constantly running in the background. If you use them too, you know now who eats your precious charge.

In the Universal Access panel has new features. For example, the inclusion function "Greyscale", which puts the system in black and white tone. Also it added the ability to increase the elements of the system and the possibility of increased access guide.

We should say about third-party keyboards. Swype and SwiftKey reported that they will release their decisions at the same time with the release of iOS 8 and did not disappoint! Now you can use third-party keyboard and I've been waiting for this. As for me, the keyboard in iOS - it's terrible.

brightness and wallpaper smashed into different tabs. Now the panel "screen and brightness" allows you to adjust the size of text and turn bold. The privacy control access to applications and HealthKit HomeKit.

The message will appear on the audio and video messages, settings, which can be controlled in the eponymous tab.

Camera and Photos app has undergone some significant changes. The camera of 2: the ability to take pictures with a delay, and a new video mode "interval". Strange translation beloved time lapse. In the photo now has a built-in photo editor. And it was good! Apple is currently peculiar manner has made it as simple as possible, and no less functional.

In the editor, there are 3 tabs: light, color and B & W, each of which has a bunch of sliders, change of the adjustment are displayed on the photos in real time.

In the AppStore I found two notable improvement. Firstly, Explore tab at last become useful and shows quite interesting applications that establish users nearby. And in the application search tab is now displayed horizontally and two screenshots.

In iOS 8 widgets appear in the notification bar. So far, only the standard, but not for long. They can be turned on and off to change places. The same applies to the panel sharinga. There must add icons party applications, which can also be controlled.

And finally, two features that I was waiting for the most. The first - is the ability to make and receive cell phone calls from your iPad or Mac. And it really works! With a slight delay, but still!

The second innovation concerns the mail client. In the settings you can configure swipe - what action will be performed at the swipe. Email client can now enjoy the same convenient, as the Mailbox.

That's all. I want to say that the many innovations we will see soon, when third-party developers will use the new iOS capabilities to the fullest.

If you have installed iOS 8 GM, the upgrade over the air to iOS 8 can not. Download the firmware update via iTunes, you can here.

You have already set eight? Or repeat situation with iOS 7, setting completely giving up and shouting that when Jobs was not like this? :)
