Apple seamlessly integrates various devices

Tencent Technology News June 3 news, Apple's World Developers Conference (WWDC) is seen as a developer understanding of Apple's latest software and hardware development. In previous years, the conference was devoted to the release of new devices, and the announcement of new products turned the conference a bit into a media arena. But today an unconventional, Apple did not announce any new hardware, no iWatch, no new iPhone, no iPad improved version.

Apple just talked about two new things. New Mac OS, and the latest generation of mobile operating system iOS 8. On the surface, this sounds a little disappointing, but in fact Apple has outgrown any company in its efforts to change mobile and desktop computing.

The first major announcement was that Apple will allow iOS cellphone users to control their devices via Mac. In a way, this is already done on Android. Some tech enthusiasts also started doing this 10 years ago by using Bluetooth, but as always, Apple fixed the way it did. At least we can see from the demo that starting to edit sms on a cellphone and then writing on a Mac seems to be the most natural thing in the world. Of course, this requires you to use Apple's hardware products, Apple has not yet made major changes to accept other platforms.

However, the most exciting is Apple's iOS 8. On the surface, you may not agree with this argument. Visually, it's just a slight adjustment to iOS 7, but under the icon, things get even more interesting. Expansion is the first thing I'm really shocked about. IOS apps now seem to be able to communicate with each other, and one app can provide data to other apps. This may sound like a trivial matter, but taking into account Apple's emphasis on security makes it impossible for applications to collaborate before.

For example, it can get your Jawbone UP app to get data from your recipe app, learn what you choose to eat today, and get calorie intake and nutritional information. If you want to provide your newly launched HealthKit with the number of your walks and the amount of calories burned, you can do it now. In this way, you can provide the data to your doctor or anyone you choose. This is a major boost for iOS devices, and Android does not have a similar feature yet.

Just as exciting, there's a new plug-in for the notification area. Small plug-in is the center of Android, Apple does not have a "home screen" style layout similar to Google's operating system, so the plug-in can only be placed in the notification area. However eBay's demo confirmed that the system has developed very well. For example, you can see the auction you are currently working on, and you can raise the price just by plugging in the notification area. Significant improvements in usability, reducing clicks and application switching time. For users, this is a big improvement.

Apple also opened up its fingerprint reader through a new API. This means you will be able to authorize the app purchase through the fingerprint reader. Now, Apple has not allowed the security information to leave the device, all of this information is locked, but this is an excellent and secure way to confirm payment. Of course, fingerprints are not perfect security solutions, but they do provide the convenience and reasonable protection that the public wants.

Another major decision was to allow third parties to develop iOS analogue keyboards, which were infamously criticized for lack of input on the part of Apple, which suddenly changed its mind. However, this change is very good, Swiftkey is already developing iOS version, it is possible that all the best Android keyboard will enter iOS. Apple has been handling this very well, iOS system to ensure the safety of user data, and limit the keyboard to Internet services can send content, but if you choose to allow the keyboard with cloud capabilities, the right to open the keyboard networking capabilities, Thus remember personal dictionary.

Even Apple's approach to app purchases has also been improved, and users can now share apps with family and there are several ways for app developers to bundle apps together. This is obviously done to increase sales in a very saturated market.

All together, Apple said developers now have 4,000 new APIs on iOS 8. This does not make much sense to most of us, but what the company did at this WWDC is to make it clear that Android's praise for flexibility will be challenged, and Apple thinks it can avoid occasional appearing on Android Malware and virus problems.

Although Apple "borrows" from Android and other systems, it shows again that Apple is able to consolidate devices in a more seamless manner than any Android phone company. (Campbells)
