Some new features of ios6

The full name of WWDC is "Worldwide Developers Conference", which is Apple's global Developers Conference. Apple Inc. regularly holds annual conferences in California. Its main purpose is to allow apple to present the latest software and technology to developers. At the WWDC conference in the past few years, IOS systems have been the focus of attention. At wwdc2012 this year, Apple's iOS 6 system was the first. This year will also be the year of Apple's new product explosion. The csdn content center will do its utmost to bring you the content of the first-hand wwdc2012 conference.

Hardware Support: 3gs supergods started to play iPad

Ios6 supports iPhone 3gs and later, iPad 2 and new iPad, and iPod touch only supports four generations. This makes us wonder that Apple's iPhone 3gs is a magic machine, and we feel infinite regret for the early iPad. Therefore, as a developer, the iPhone 3gs screen resolution should be considered in terms of adaptation, which seems quite troublesome.

　　Significantly enhanced Chinese localization support

First, Apple began to support Chinese speech streams in Siri. Second, the system inherits the brand new Chinese Input Method and supports 30 thousand new phrases. Third, Baidu search is built into safari. This intention is obvious, and Baidu is used to compete with Google. Fourth, you can share videos with Youku and Tudou. Fifth, you can share images, maps, and game centers on Sina Weibo.

Many people are clamoring for the Localization support in China: Apple has begun to attach importance to the Chinese market. However, I believe that Apple should have better support for Chinese localization since the generation of ios5. What we see in ios6 is late.

　　Abandon Google map's new map application

Although Google has recently launched a new Google Map, Apple is also reluctant to lag behind. At this year's wwdc2012, Apple launched its own map service-maps, which has three main features: first, vector-Based Map elements make the display clearer, especially in the emerging Retina screen devices. Second, real-time traffic information display is supported. Third, we have added an interactive 3D view perspective, allowing users to experience the photo-level authenticity. It makes people feel like they are in the next-era version of GTA. I believe there will be more exciting LSB games based on Apple maps in the future.

　　Siri speaks Mandarin

In ios6, Siri began to support languages in more countries, including Mandarin and Cantonese in mainland China. Second, Game Information and cinema information can be displayed, and restaurant information query and booking services can be provided. For ordinary users, there will be more interesting "Playing Games. For mobile app developers, if your app can better work with Siri and better explore Siri's amazing innovative apps, it will surely be promoted by Apple as a model. In addition, speaking Mandarin with Siri is a great threat for domestic speech developers. It is a difficult choice whether to transform or fight for technology with Apple.

　　Share fun with iCloud

Mobile applications and cloud computing seem to have become the main theme of mobile Internet development in the future. In the new ios6, this technology trend has been confirmed again. Users can share images with friends through iCloud. This does not occupy your own iCloud storage space. In addition, the photos shared by users can be viewed on the latest Mac and ITV.

It is important to note that users can comment on the shared image and notify the image publisher. This is similar to the Instagram function. With this new feature of ios6, we can see that it is very keen on social networks.

Passbook electronic coupon Management

Passbook can store QR code information such as electronic coupons, movie tickets, gift cards, and passes. It can trigger alerts based on geographical location information, time, and other conditions. For example, when you prepare for boarding in the waiting hall, passbook will remind you not to stay at the wrong boarding gate.

Passbook may be a new product with the greatest impact on some coupon applications. This means that some mobile apps that focus on coupons all have no bottom. Apple saw the big cake of consumer mobile ads, and I believe Apple's intervention will be better than others. At the same time, it also makes us feel the domineering attitude of apple.

　　FaceTime anytime, anywhere

Previously, facetime only supports Wi-Fi networks, while the new version of FaceTime integrated in ios6 supports 3G networks. Therefore, users can call and receive facetime calls anytime, anywhere, either in the city or outdoors. You can even use the 3G iPad to call FaceTime at any time to your friends on the phone. In this way, no matter where you are, no matter where you are, you will not miss any blinking, smiling, blow and grimace. This greatly facilitates user communication and can completely replace the videophone with the traffic.

Enhanced telephone Functions

The phone application in ios6 is more user-friendly. When you reject a call, you can choose to automatically reply to the SMS. You can also set a "back-to-power" reminder when the connection is rejected. Add the "whitelist" function to a call. You can also set a do-not-disturb period. During sleep at night, you will not receive a "one-stop" harassment call. Obviously, these phone enhancements all incorporate many iPhone phone enhancements and plug-ins. This is a good thing for users, but it is a tragedy for applications with phone enhancement features.

　VIP added to the Mail Application

The mail in ios6 has updated many user-friendly functions. Mail re-designed the interaction interface. Important friends and family members can be set as VIP, which can be highlighted independently as a type of mail. It is more convenient to share videos and photos via email.

Safari supports full-screen viewing

In Mac OS versions, full-screen browsing seems to be a standard for various applications. In safari of ios6, this application experience is supported for the first time. At the same time, Safari also supports tag Synchronization Through iCloud. Supports downloading the read list content offline to a local device.

Universal assistance: more powerful

The universal auxiliary function is further enhanced in ios6. Some applications and functions can be shielded for children. For example, the accompanying access wizard can restrict certain areas of the touch screen. This is very similar to the demonstration machine function we saw in the Apple store. It can help blind and Low-vision users read.
