In this article we will try to dig out the details of the hidden changes in Apple iOS 8. Because the WWDC keynote address is limited, Apple will not be able to completely show developers all the details of iOS and the next-generation desktop operating system, so this article continues our discovery journey. While there are some notable changes in iOS 8 that can be said to excite us, such as HomeKit, ICloud Photo Library and metal, some of these hidden details can inadvertently surprise us.
