After upgrading iOS 7, the overall update rate for domestic developers is slower than in foreign countries. But the iphone 5s sales, seems to give the watchers more momentum, "We are waiting to get the machine, and then measured how the application and the latest M7 coprocessor, etc. ”

Developer: Still in the warm-up

In the Apple App Store, there is currently a "design for iOS 7" APP recommended section, but the domestic application only "Sogou map 2013", "Impression notes" and several other, most of the other from abroad. Cocachina (National mainstream iOS Development forum) developer Moderator Li Jiaming told the IT Times Reporter: "Now the domestic has followed the iOS 7 style of application behind, mainly those who have the human and financial resources of large companies, small and medium-sized developers are not so fast." ”

App upgrades iOS 7 is difficult, especially for small and medium teams. "If you don't have too many custom applications, just compile them." And those apps themselves have a lot of customization, like the Life app we use so much, it takes a lot more time to update iOS 7 and a lot of work to do. "Chuang, a veteran iOS 7 developer, has a firsthand experience.

It is reported that recently a large number of applications to submit a new version of the App Store audit brought pressure. "Sogou map" related people told the IT Times reporter, the new version of the first time to log in to the App Store and was recommended, due to the release of iOS 7 before the launch of the preparation, and Apple communication, and finally identified the new product ideas. Most practitioners are unable to do this in advance, one developer said: "The new version will not be available until after Apple's September launch, and it may take more than 10 days if the original one weeks are approved." ”

At the same time, many mobile phone users found that the most commonly used Sina Weibo, public comments, the United States and other Mito also maintain the original interface style. Chuang bluntly, relative to foreign countries, domestic developers to follow the pace is relatively slow, "foreign developers have made it clear that no longer to do the old version of the application development." and domestic more for the sake of the low end of the user's consideration, in this period will also take into account the old version. ”

"This time may be similar to the one Apple just launched the Retina screen, at first many developers felt that there was no need to trendy, but soon they found that because the hardware was selling well, many people were using new equipment, and after a two-month period, as long as it was not Retina HD screen applications, The user won't even go down. ”

User: Innovation is not enough "obvious"

In terms of the amount of downloads, the iOS 7-style app's appeal to the user still seems to be out of the box, and as of September 25, a week after the release of the 7 official version of iOS, the App Store's free list did not see a big jump in apps for iOS 7, some of which were more than 20.

Mobile phone enthusiasts Li Coling told reporters: "I upgraded the new system after the download of several iOS 7 style of new applications." For example, a domestic news client, in addition to the mask effect, the interaction does not reflect what difference. Including foreign applications like Ted, it's just a simpler interface. ”

Li Jiaming told reporters that at present many developers in the new style, may only be in the UI (graphical interface) to try, such as in the application of the window interface, and iOS 7 system in the "Notification Center", "control center" similar to the glass layer effect.

"Just visual change" is actually a misunderstanding of understanding. "Sogou map" a technician explained to the reporter, the new version in the background multitasking scene also carried out a very effective upgrade. "Sogou Map 2013" In the user download offline map, the WiFi environment can be downloaded in the background automatically, in the user can not see the place to realize the provincial power flow.
