iOS 8 allows answer without opening programs from the notification messages.
It was announced in June, but only for developers. Three months later, two days before the new generation of iPhone, 6 and 6 Plus, it’s released in the United States, and can be installed iOS 8, the new operating system for phones and tablets from Apple.
The first surprise comes when trying to install. After three attempts, the download begins. The phone in the case of this test, no warning to indicate that the update is already on Apple’s servers, it is necessary to go to settings and check manually. The following is that although the file is 1.1 gigabytes is needed 4.6 gigabytes of free space on the device for installation occurs without problems. The general recommendation is to cleanse before downloading the file. Normally check what applications take up more space and eliminate them. Same with photos and videos. For models with less memory, the best option would make a previous backup on a computer, delete all photos and proceed with the download and installation.
The initial feeling with the system operation is simplicity. Notifications, so far difficult to control the frequency and amount, are assumable. Can be managed without having to unlock the screen: either to reply to an SMS, change an appointment or receive an email from a sender marked as important. This is the first very similar to Android, which included what a couple of years ago. The tab dedicated to helping current day getting lost in the maze of ads. The price of the bag, calendar and weather forecast remains the same.
The search menu is heavily modified. No longer just looking into the apparatus, and in my post, but also and Internet. Sample results from Wikipedia, media, maps Apple app store, books and digital content.
Siri, its voice assistant grows. Want to be more practical and not just a way to play jokes and make jokes with friends. The inspiration is clear, Google Now, the native Android, much more sober and impersonal, but effective. Now he is able to recognize songs -usa Shazam- technology and then buy them in iTunes without touching the screen. It is only a first step. Remains to be seen how it will integrate with applications dedicated to home automation with directions like “turn off the lights” or “rising temperature”
The best iOS apps for 8
The three months from the Apple developer conference and the launch has helped the public are advised to day applications and software capabilities are explored. These are some of the most interesting:
Pocket: An application that is used to store links. It not only works with Safari, Apple’s browser but also DIRECTLY from applications such as Tumblr, The Guardian, Wall Street Journal, BuzzFeed, CNET and CNN
Swiftkey. Lets you customize the way it is used the keyboard. Just draw a line on the letters, suggests the word. The more you use, the better it works
Evernote.’s Update comes shortly before conference on 2 and 3 October in San Francisco. The application for taking notes is one of the most benefits from the ability to integrate with other applications. The time saving is remarkable. It has included the access code by fingerprint (Touch ID) to protect the contents of some notes
Wunderlist. Was known for ordering the remaining tasks is even more practical. Edits from the home screen without opening the program.
The way it works the keyboard reminiscent of the latest versions of BlackBerry. With every word you type is offered a suggestion to avoid finish. The terms appear in a new strip above the keyboard.
The Mailbox successful, an application to manage the mail, has hurt Apple. Mail service Default has been rejuvenated. It is no coincidence that in choosing a message and slide your finger left out a different menu if done in reverse. Easy to send to the trash, added labels, stored or answer. Are new gestures to learn, but that ultimately save time. You can add alarms to notify you when the sender to answer a particular email.
The camera is one of the strengths of Apple mobile. iPhone 6 and 6 Plus includes new glasses, but the above device versions benefit from better management of the reel and software most powerful retouching. No need to open an additional program you can change the white balance, contrast and light quantity. The recording control slow motion is more intuitive. Like the Facebook application Hyperlapse, recorded accelerated images.
The big question regarding iOS 8 is health. For one thing, iPhone 6 and 6 Plus is the first chip with M8 juice that will bring truth to their possibilities. To continue, the lack of applications that show their true potential. Health, as they call the control center applications related to health claims to be the place where all the data of exercise performed, food intake, weight and achieve goals outside the program used is stored. For now it is limited to a general panel data. Without much analysis, without any advice or added value. In Apple’s plans to enter promote the so-called Medical ID, created in conjunction with some health companies to have a file the physical condition of clients, not patients.
It is difficult to gauge the performance of the battery few hours after installing the operating system, but gives a sense of being equal. The same applies to the ongoing application management, not evident that the overall performance is slower, at least on an iPhone 5S, but it happens with every jump OS devices lose some fluency.
