Apple unveils iOS 8, the biggest release
since the launch of the App Store
by MacDailyNews
[cfsp key="adsense_336x280"]Apple today unveiled
iOS 8, the biggest release since the launch of the App Store, giving users
incredible new features and developers the tools to create amazing new apps.
iOS 8 delivers a simpler, faster and more intuitive user experience, including
iCloud® Photo Library, allowing you to enjoy your photos and videos more easily
across your devices; new Messages features to easily share voice, video or
photos with just a swipe; and an entirely new Health app that gives you a clear
overview of your health and fitness data all in one place. iOS 8 also includes
predictive typing for Apple’s QuickType™ keyboard; Family Sharing, the easiest
way to share purchases, photos and calendars within the same household; and
iCloud Drive™, so you can store files and access them from anywhere.
“iOS 8 offers simpler, faster and more intuitive
ways to use your device with incredible new features like iCloud Photo Library,
a new Messages app, the QuickType keyboard and an entirely new Health app,”
said Craig Federighi, Apple’s senior vice president of Software Engineering.
“We’re also giving developers amazing new tools to make managing your health
and your home from your devices an integrated, simple and secure experience.”
In iOS 8, the Photos app and iCloud Photo Library
give you access to all of your photos and videos anytime, anywhere. Your photos
are easy to find and are organized consistently across your enabled devices.
The Photos app can automatically straighten horizons and with smart editing
tools, you can quickly adjust light and color or access individual tools for
deeper fine-tuning. With iCloud Photo Library, every adjustment and effect is
automatically updated across your devices.
Conversations in Messages become more immersive
with the ability to communicate with just a swipe. Tap to Talk allows you to
share your voice and the same simple gesture also works for sharing videos and
photos within Messages. Group messaging now gives you the ability to add and
remove contacts, leave a conversation and the option to not be disturbed. Users
can easily browse through all of the photos and videos within a conversation
and share multiple photos and videos at once. You can choose to share your
current location from within Messages for an hour, a day or longer.
The new Health app gathers the information you
choose from your various health apps and fitness devices, and provides you with
a clear and current overview in one place. iOS 8 offers developers the ability
for health and fitness apps to communicate with each other. With your
permission, each app can use specific information from other apps to provide a
more comprehensive way to manage your health and fitness. For example, the
Nike+ apps using NikeFuel will be able to pull in other key HealthKit metrics
such as sleep and nutrition to build a custom user profile and improve athletic
performance.
New predictive typing for Apple’s QuickType
keyboard is smarter and more personalized, and intelligently takes context into
account, such as who the recipient is and in which app you’re typing. QuickType
understands the way you communicate, suggesting favorite phrases, so you can
write entire sentences with just a few taps. What the keyboard learns is
encrypted on your device and never sent to the cloud.
iOS 8 introduces Family Sharing, making it easier
than ever to communicate and share purchases, photos and calendars within the
same household. Family members can browse and download each other’s iTunes®,
iBooks® or App Store purchases. Up to six members can participate, each with
their own Apple ID. Parents can create Apple IDs for children, which includes
Ask to Buy, requiring parental permission for purchases. Family Sharing
automatically keeps everyone connected by creating a shared family photo
stream, shared calendar and provides an option for locating family members and
their devices.
With iCloud Drive, documents of any type can be
safely stored, accessed and edited across your devices. Make edits on one
device and the most up-to-date version of your documents will be available
across all devices, whether an iOS device, Mac®, Windows PC or on
http://www.icloud.com. iCloud Drive brings a whole new level of collaboration
between apps, providing seamless access and the ability to work on the same
file across multiple apps.
For Enterprise, iOS 8 builds on the new IT model
for a mobilized workforce by improving the way users are informed of how their
devices are configured, managed or restricted. iOS 8 offers expanded security
and management improvements as well as new productivity features, including an
expanded level of data protection for key built-in apps, the ability to set
your out of office response, see your colleague’s availability when scheduling
a meeting and support for configurable Thread Notifications in Mail.
Additional iOS 8 features include:
• design enhancements that build off the stunning
interface of iOS 7, bringing interactive notifications, quick access to key
contacts, the ability to quickly switch back and forth between the inbox and
drafts in Mail, as well as intelligent suggestions;
• extended Spotlight® capabilities that give you
results beyond what’s on your device, including articles from Wikipedia,
findings from the news and results from places nearby; and
• greater continuity between iPhone®, iPad® and
Mac, including Handoff to start an activity on one device and finish on
another, along with Instant Hotspot and the ability to make and receive calls
and send SMS and MMS messages from your Mac or iPad.
The iOS 8 beta software and SDK are available
immediately for iOS Developer Program members at developer.apple.com. iOS 8
will be available this fall as a free software update for iPhone 4s, iPhone 5,
iPhone 5c, iPhone 5s, iPod touch® 5th generation, iPad 2, iPad with Retina®
display, iPad Air™, iPad mini™ and iPad mini with Retina display. iCloud Photo
Library and iCloud Drive use your iCloud storage with the first 5GB free.
Features are subject to change. Some features may not be available in all
regions or all languages.
