Apple unveils iOS 8, the biggest release since the launch of the App Store
by <http://macdailynews.com/author/macdailynews/> 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> 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.
