20+ new features iOS 8, which are not told at WWDC

The presentation at WWDC Apple has been very ambitious and lasted more than two hours, but still the amount shown on the information it was very large and mostly speakers said quite succinctly. The main focus It was aimed at OS X 10.10So it is not surprising that kupertinovtsy time to tell only the most Key features iOS 8. In fact, there's a lot more innovation and, if you remember, there was even a separate slide shows with a brief listing of other features. In this article I want to tell you about them.

Camera

Burst mode for old iPhones

With the debut of iPhone 5s was presented feature quick burst - by holding the shutter button shot a series of photos (up to 20 frames per second). Owners of previous generations of iPhones also get this feature, but the rate of capture in this mode, they were not so impressive. Taking into account the optimization of graphics performance is likely that the rate in burst mode will be increased.

Landscape mode on the iPad

On the iPhone you can shoot panoramas even with iOS 6, while the iPad remains behind to this day. It looks like in iOS 8 iPad users still receive a panorama mode, even though it would cost them a plurality of oblique views of others.

Mode Time-lapse

The iOS 7 has been presented a new wheel, the switching modes of photo, video, slo-mo, square photos and panoramas. In iOS 8 should appear more and Time-lapse mode that lets you take a photo with a dynamic interval, then to create from them a slow motion video. And all this on full automatic and without any manipulation by the user.

Timer

Selfie is now incredibly popular, but sometimes the quality of the front camera is not enough for your ideas. Thanks to the timer, iOS 8 will allow all fans selfie and use the main camera. Previously, we have installed third-party applications to achieve this functionality, but with the release of iOS 8, it will remain in the past.

Separate control focus and exposure

In fact, a separate control for focus and exposure was present in previous versions of iOS, but it was available only to developers (as we saw in the third-party applications). Now while situation has changed, and this functionality will be available to users in a standard cell.

iBooks

iBooks is a fairly popular book text, which is well received by users (the same applies to the built-in book stores). However, before iBooks was not preinstalled, and prior to use it was necessary to download from the App Store - with the release of iOS 8 will change everything. In addition, all of the books you purchased, which are included in the series, will be grouped together on one shelf, and not mixed up with the rest.

Smart Night Mode

Night mode in the iBooks, if I'm not mistaken, was present from the very first version and is to change the font color and background, but include it, of course, you had to manually. In iOS 8 iBooks will be a cut above, and will be able to include it automatically. The truth is still unknown on the basis of which criteria - the time of day or lighting.

Siri

Although it mentioned very casually, much of Siri smarter, getting a lot of improvements. To start a virtual assistant is now by saying «Hey, Siri!» (If your device is connected to a charging or is already on the screen, Siri). Also do not forget about the 22 new languages ​​(at least among them, and no Russian), and 24 new dictation languages ​​(hurray, here Russian is!). So that Siri will soon learn to recognize and open the iTunes Store, the music you listen to - also very cool.

Safari

Private access to certain tabs

The OS X Yosemite Safari allows you to open some private window, but in iOS Safari has no windows, so you can open up access to the private individual tabs mode. This is much easier than to translate into private mode the entire web page.

RSS-subscription in the General References

The OS X Yosemite Apple once again returns the support of RSS-feeds, which will now be in the menu General references. If you visited the page contains a link to the RSS-feed - clicking on it you can add a subscription, after which it will be in Common references among your tweets and links from social networks.

Support for DuckDuckGo

Apple has expanded the list of supported search service, adding DuckDuckGo, which unlike Google, Yahoo and Bing does not collect user statistics. You can assign a search in the default section DuckDuckGo Safari settings.

Statistics of battery usage for each application

Want to know which installed most applications "eat" the battery? As well as iOS 7 brought separate statistics network traffic flow, iOS 8 will give us a particular energy statistics for individual applications. This will make it easier to monitor the hungry applications and, ultimately, have a positive effect on the overall battery life.

Medical card for emergencies

The application includes a Health card containing your health information, contraindications and contact the closest people. All this can be of great help in case of accidents and other unforeseen circumstances that can threaten your health.

Calls, communication, travel

Call waiting FaceTime

If you are a frequent user FaceTime, then you are probably faced with a situation where at the time of the conversation you called someone else. In iOS 8 it will be possible to answer the new call (or send a message), transferring the current call on hold.

Calls for Wi-Fi (not available in Russia)

Sitautsii sometimes, when we are very weak, if not absent cellular signal and, at the same time, excellent Wi-Fi-connection. iOS 8 allows in such cases to make calls and send sms via internet (if supported by your operator). Such as T-Mobile has already announced that this will be made available to the release of iOS 8 this fall.

Formatted Text in Notes

Notes on iOS has never been burdened with additional formatting functions. With iOS 8 all once again to change and users will be able to use formatted text (bold, italic, etc.), as well as insert images.

Notice of departure time

In OS X Mavericks got Calendar function calculating the approximate time of arrival when planning routes, so that he can notify you when it's time to go. In some cases, even the Calendar does it automatically (if you know the point of departure and arrival), the same .Pohozhe functionality comes to iOS, but this is not surprising, given that the notification center often provides such information.

Universal access

In iOS 8, a lot of new features extend the capabilities of universal access. VoiceOver now uses a more natural voice of Alex, which has worked well in OS X; also now has support for multiple hearing aids; improved zoom and support for braille keyboards.

Fit into one slide all the functions it was simply impossible, therefore, almost certainly we can expect even more innovations during the release of iOS 8 in the fall.
