This Monday (5th) the beginning of the WWDC 2017 (Worldwide Developer Conference), Apple developer conference, where the company presents the news that will be implemented over the next few months. Among them, we have the iOS 11whose Developer Preview will be released today and the first public beta at the end of the month. The announcement was made by Craig Federighi, vice president of Apple products. Check out what's new!
App Store 1n6t6x
Apple's app store was one of the areas that received the most changes. But before, Phil Schiller talked about some numbers App Store: $70 billion was paid to developers and more than 180 billion s throughout its history. In fact, a huge success case that generates a lot of profit for Apple.
Well, during the event the company said that it will reduce approval times for new apps. In addition, developers will be able to release updates in phases, releasing the updates little by little.
Another important novelty is the redesign in the design, which is very reminiscent of Apple Music, with colorful cards, large and flashy titles and more fluid and pleasant animations. There will also be three tabs: Today, Games and Apps. The “Today” tab will highlight store news, the “Games” tab will highlight the top games and the “Apps” tab will highlight the top apps.
Changes to the iPad UI 4u4n2d
The iPad now has a dock, similar to the one on macOS, that is, a bottom bar where pinned apps and app suggestions are on the right. You can access it by swiping up from any screen.
In addition, it is possible to activate the Slide Over directly from the dock. To do this, instead of touching the icon, drag it to the screen. This will open in a sidebar. You can also keep an app open in a floating window.
The screen for switching between open apps has also changed. Now, in addition to showing the windows of open applications, it also displays the Control Center.
File manager 2c1z1p
Finally, in its eleventh version, iOS gained a file manager, including drag and drop . It s folder tree and has cloud integration like Dropbox, iCloud and OneDrive.
As for the drag and drop feature, it is available for text, URL, images and other types of data. This can be done in both side-by-side and full-screen apps. To do this, the interface shrinks and you choose which app you want to paste the information into.
iMessage 5ea6o
Apple's messaging app, the iMessage, gained a series of built-in apps, as is already the case in Facebook Messenger. However, the main novelty about the messaging app is the sync via iCloud.
That is, as of iOS 11, all your iMessage conversations will sync across all your devices. That means you can start a conversation on iPhone and end it on iPad or Mac. All history is ed and everything is reflected on all devices. In addition, messages continue to have end-to-end encryption, an indispensable feature these days.
Control Center 8547
A Control Center has been completely overhauled. As of iOS 11 it will have only one page that will display all the information. To see more detailed or specific information, s should make use of the Touch 3D.
Another important change was in the Notification Center e Lockscreen. Both become one. When you swipe down from the top, a mirror of your locked screen will appear in place of the Notification Center, displaying the latest notifications. To see the oldest ones, just swipe your finger once more. Thus, the two-page Notification Center was also deleted.
Camera 2xzk
Second Craig Fererighi, iOS s take over 1 trillion photos per year! And yes, the camera is an important item in any smartphone. That's why Apple decided to make some improvements to the iOS camera app.
Videos recorded with iOS 11 will be encoded in HEVC and no longer in H.264. This brings up to twice as much compression with no decrease in video quality. The photos will abandon the JPEG format and will adopt HEIF, which is 50% smaller and maintains the same image quality.
Photos 4l4d1l
Since we're talking about the Camera app, let's also talk about the app Photos. It now organizes photos better and even has a filter, making life easier for s looking for a specific image. It is also possible edit the live photos, switching the main frame. In addition, they received new effects and even a loop tool, transforming them basically into boomerang do Instagram.
Apple Music 69389
Apple's music streaming platform has finally implemented some features present in competitors. For example, it's now possible to know what your friends are listening to, just like in Spotify. In addition, third-party apps can also communicate with the Apple Music through the MusicKit API. An example is the Shazam, which can add the song identified with it to one of your playlists.
Keyboard 5b4q
On the iPhone, the keyboard has now gained a one-handed typing mode. The keys are aligned either to the right or to the left. and on the iPad, taking better advantage of the screen size, we have the keyboard Quicktype, which facilitates access to numbers, punctuation, and symbols.
Crab 3i3i2d
Apple's virtual assistant was also not left out of the news. During the event it was announced that the Crab will have a more human, more natural voice. At least in English. In addition, from iOS 11 onwards it will be able to do translations in several languages. Unfortunately, our dear Brazilian Portuguese is still not included in this great news.
The virtual assistant SDK, called SiriKit, is being expanded to other developers. Now programmers will be able to integrate their apps with Siri. But for now, not just any type of app will enjoy this privilege. And to finish off the wave of news related to Siri, it now understands the context better, in other words, it's smarter, and can even predict what you want to do.
Maps 3p47c
Os Maps also received substantial improvements, especially for those living in the United States. Now they include the plans of malls, airports and some other establishments. For those who use the application as a GPS, it will bring speed limit alerts, lane guidance and also a mode called Do Not Disturb While Driving, which turns off the cellular network while the is driving, so they don't have any distractions.
Augmented Reality 1b3j65
Through the platform Arkite, developers will be able to use computer vision technologies to create virtual objects and place them in real environments, all through the camera. With this, it will be possible to create interactive games and immersive shopping experiences.
Apple Pay k1e39
Apple's online payment system, the Apple Pay, now allows money transfer between people, no longer limited to payment in physical or virtual stores. Another novelty is that Apple Pay integrates with the aforementioned iMessage, allowing you to make transfers more easily through the messaging app.
Although Apple's payment system still doesn't work in Brazil, it's always good to keep an eye on the news, since at one time or another Apple Pay will reach the Brazilian market.
HomeKit 3v286f
