When the desired event is to less timeWait becomes unbearable. Yesterday, we remembered all more or less plausible rumors and leaks regarding new OS XToday, let us once again go through the information available on iOS 8, which, though not a highlight, but promises to be interesting. Especially because it also has a lot of desirable and anticipated features.
Design
New iOS 8 will be a logical continuation of the revolutionary iOS 7 with its new design and functionality standards. And if in the design of some drastic changes comparable in scale to iOS 7, wait hardly worth it, in terms of functionality Apple has prepared us a lot of new and interestnogo.
Performance
The overall performance of the current iOS 7 shows very good results, even in such old devaysakh as the iPhone 4. Last update literally breathed into him a second life. New iOS traditionally should be even faster, which is especially noticeable on the next-generation iPhone, but for iOS 7 experience we can say that last year, and even a two-year model should work fairly quickly. reduce the time
battery lifeUnfortunately, as it is the case because of the abundance of new features and technologies, but Apple plans to fix it.Healthbook
As noted above, the design will be a key feature of iOS 8, given the recent large-scale renovation. Instead, Apple is going to focus on the applications and functions, and if you believe rumors, they will have a fitness oriented and strongly focused on health monitoring users.
The main feature of iOS 8 can be Healthbook application that will work in conjunction with the iWatch or at least uses the M7 coprocessor existing opportunities, and perhaps the future of sensors, which are crammed with new devices from the line this year. Healthbook will monitor physical activity and any changes in the state of the health of users. In this case, the application will even give advice to maintain muscle activity on our toes. The list of monitored data is impressive, here in our country and state of the blood, and heart rate, and the level of hydration and blood pressure, and blood sugar levels, and a whole bunch of things.
Apple has made a wise move by opening Healthbook use for third-party developers, so that it can be considered a collector of information from all fitness gadgets. In more detail c Healthbook you can find in our big survey.
TextEdit and Preview
Apple has always talked about the convergence of their desktop and mobile operating system, OS X bringing in various functions with iOS. Looks like it's time to share and OS X with the "younger sister" a couple of applications. It is about TextEdit and Preview, which we have seen in leaked in screenshots iOS network 8. They will be implemented as part of extended iCloud. Most likely the application will be used for viewing documents and files, editing functions, if any, and will definitely will come later. This is the right step, because all sorts of viewers PDF, which is teeming with App Store, has long been tired of seeing.
CarPlay
New technology, presented recentlyBut rumors of which went for quite a long time. Platform opens up the possibility iOS in-car use, in the future should become very popular, since it is expected that Apple's iOS 8 will open API CarPlay for third-party developers. Its essence is to connect your iPhone to your car's audio system by Lightning-connector and the integration of various functions of iOS. Such as Maps, Siri, not to mention the calls and music. The interaction is organized with the help of car bodies, thus achieving comfort and integrity of the system. There is also information about what can be done wirelessly connect to the car via AirPlay.
multitasking
The new iOS 8, we can also see the improved multitasking. It is meant to work with multiple applications simultaneously split screen. By type of such multi-tasking will remind used in Microsoft Surface. This feature is considered to be very popular among users, which confirms the presence of a huge number of tweaks in Cydia. Previously, Microsoft used it as a bargaining chip, but with the release of iOS 8 will change everything. In addition to the simultaneous operation of applications and split-screen, and will be implemented by the exchange of files and documents between a simple drag and drop. This will further simplify the work on the iPad, and will make it easier for serious problems. It is possible that after such innovations, many prefer laptops tablets.
Cards
After its debut in the iOS 6 Maps Apple's repeatedly fine-tuned, but even now, they are still far from ideal, and many users prefer to use solutions from third-party developers. The new iOS Maps should get updates and new features. Thus, for example, are expected to appear detailed information about nearby facilities: shops, cafes, public transport and much more. Part of this functionality is already present in the current Maps, however, it will be expanded and will receive deeper integration with the system. Cards are very important for many users, and are included in the daily usage scenario. Apple is, of course, understand or can not respond, so the likelihood of a large-scale update exists.
iTunes Radio
The new music service from Apple, introduced in iOS 7 became very popular and actively using the owners of iOS-devices and poppies. This point is noteworthy, therefore, most likely, in iOS 8, iTunes Radio will get its own icon on the screen of our devices and will be a stand alone application. This approach will allow faster to develop the service, after releasing updates for a specific application is much easier than for the system as a whole. We as users will only gain. iTunes Radio is a real threat to streaming music services like Pandora and Spotify, so that Apple is quite makes sense to develop it further.
Game Center
Game Center is, unlike iTunes Radio is not very popular among users, though not such a disaster as the brainchild of Apple music social network Ping. Most likely, in iOS 8, the company refuses to Game Center stand-alone application and will take all the functionality in the application. Well, this is quite an adequate solution. For example I do not remember when all open Game Center after registering an account there.
Notification Center, and a control point
At the moment, the improvement of the notification center is still at the level of concepts and hotelokBut knowing Apple's approach to the evolution of our products, we can safely assume its modernization. iOS 7 brought us even control item, which turned out to be quite a handy thing, but terribly irritated by the lack of the possibility to configure it for themselves. In the center of notifications also lacks the ability to customize and widgets, which saluted Android users and we want to for so long. Who knows, maybe Apple will make concessions and give us all of this, given that the enlarged iPhone screen will need something to fill.
messages
In essence the message in the current iOS 7 are not much different from the first release of iPhone OS back in 2007. Yes, the changed design, fonts, and other small things, but overall it's the same messages. It is expected that iOS 8 is to change the situation and to bring major improvements in the standard application. If you believe the rumors, users will be able to automatically delete messages after a certain time. Also, in the list of long-hotelok including support various communication protocols to be combined into a single application all the messengers, but serious doubts arise concerning the implementation of e.
Dictaphone
Voice recorder, as well as posts little changed since its first release. There were design refreshment, but beyond that Apple did not come. Rumor has it that in iOS 8 application will be subjected to the improvement of the interface, in addition new features should appear. Which it is, unfortunately, still unknown.
Siri
Voice assistant Siri is able to have quite a lot, but apparently, Apple wants to teach him new tricks. If you believe the leaks, the company actively cooperates with Shazam service, which specializes in the recognition of music tracks. Now Shazam has its own application, but in the future it can be fully integrated into the system (in the manner of Facebook or Twitter). Once that happens, Siri can answer the question "What song is playing now?"
Support for high-quality sound
Officially confirmed today Transaction of buying Beats can mean vnedreneniya high quality audio to new iOS 8. If you believe the rumors, Updates can also be subject to and complete the headphones that come with all devices. This could explain such an expensive contract with headphone manufacturer of premium-class. Now music tracks played in the player 24-bit and a sampling frequency of 48 kHz. It is possible that Apple will increase the performance that users have the opportunity to listen to your favorite music in high quality.
The amount of rumors and leaks that shed light on a new iOS 8 impresses them more than ever. But when you consider that Apple has in store (and it is) a few aces up its sleeve - the upcoming WWDC will be hot.
