IOS 9 Beta Overview 1. How to install the system right now and whether or not
Tips Makradar / / December 19, 2019
iOS 9 - this is the system we should have received a year ago. The logical development of existing chips, as well as new and important features - all this makes the dream of an early onset of autumn: it was then that the OS will be available to all users. We have installed iOS 9, the first beta version, and have tried all the innovations. There is talk about.
Rumors about font change were true. In place of Helvetica I came to San Francisco, for which Apple has added the Cyrillic alphabet. The new font looks unusual, but, like everything new, you get used to it quickly.
Spotlight is now no. His place was taken by a functional panel Search. At the presentation with its help were doing a lot of cool things, but all display the I - is your favorite contacts, and frequently used applications. And to them somehow wormed his way into a companion for the Apple Watch.
Instead, look for information in the Search - a pleasure. Function index letters, messages and contacts. After yesterday's announcement, I expected more, but, first, this is a beta version, and secondly, an essential part of innovation will not be available in our countries. We seem to have with this have long been resigned.
Many changes in the multitasking bar. Now on the screen more space allotted thumbnails applications. They still can swipe to close up the two or three at a time. But on the iPhone 5, the simultaneous closure of several applications accompanied by the brakes and false touch.
In the "Settings" appeared search. IOS experienced users do not need it, and will be very helpful for beginners. As long as it works itself: for example, does not find anything related to iCloud Drive. Of the new products in the "Settings" also appeared low-power mode. After activation disables mail checks, background refresh programs and animation.
In general, it is not a cardinal, as the power-saving modes in the new Android-devices, which cut everything. But it turns off all the things that previously had to manually disable. In the low power mode, the battery icon is painted in orange.
Much attention has been paid to the work with the text.
Predictive text input is now working with the Russian language.
Gestures edit the text shown on the iPad, and work on the iPhone. Swipe with two fingers to move through the text and highlight it. Feature works surprisingly well. But predictive text input in Russian - is not very. The word list is great, but after activating the keyboard begins to slow down typing. Telegram and completely crashes if you enter more than three words.
Many innovations have received "Notes". Business Insider is proud christened "Notes" killer Evernote. I do not agree with them. The application can now draw more conveniently implemented to work with photos and images, and have the ability to quickly insert checkboxes. It's great? Yes. Whether to hold out Evernote, OneNote, and others? Unfortunately no.
iCloud Drive received a separate application. It can be activated in the "SettingsĀ» - iCloud - iCloud Drive. The interface looks like it used to look service in addition to other applications. Work with files while it is impossible. Document size 100 kilobytes still download (approximately one minute), but never opened.
But a separate application makes iCloud Drive while only beginners, but still a competitor Dropbox and Google Drive. I have often noticed that the take off to get important documents, which do not want to lose if something goes wrong with your computer. With the advent of iOS app services will be more convenient.
The application "Photo" changes a little bit, but they are. In Playback mode, the band appeared at the bottom. Scrolling through it, you can quickly navigate between photos in the gallery. In the application list, through which you can share photos, there were also "Notes", which are still called Notes.
And what I've been waiting for - the music. Apple Music It will not appear until June 30, but the interface changes to the application, "Music" is now. This great album covers, and the ability to turn the player to go to the library. Playlist can be controlled by dragging the songs in the "Next" button. I tried it, it's pretty convenient. Tell us whether this function was before?
Change one line
In the system, a host of new features that are still either do not work or work very badly. We decided to talk about them in one line. Details will come later, in other materials:
- Automatic triggers that remembers your actions and then repeat them automatically (the music at a jog, Twitter in the morning, etc.).
- In Search (Spotlight replacement), you can convert units of measurement.
- Of Search can move to the right information in applications (Deep links) and then go back to the search.
- The Apple Maps there was a public transport card (only for the US and China).
- The new application "News", which is not yet available in iOS 9 Beta 1.
- Apple has listened to the outrage at the size of the update, and iOS 9 will weigh only 1.3 GB instead of 4 GB.
How to put there and worth
iOS 9 can only deliver with Developer account. After registration UDID need to download the firmware file in the same place and install it via iTunes, clicking the "Update" button while holding the Option.
Should I do it?
Not.
The beta version is very bad. The smartphone is heated, and the battery is leaking eyes. Many of the new features do not work, and the old ones are broken. Overall, iOS 9 strongly brakes. After writing this review, I'll get back to iOS 8 and can recommend to put a very high beta enthusiasts. And, of course, do not forget to make a backup copy.
