iOS 8 exposes new features

Tencent Digital News (Compiler: Zhang Xiumei) Apple WWDC Developers Conference ended, but at this conference, Apple addition to software and systems, and did not bring any new hardware news. So the outside world has generally become more and more looking forward to any news on the next generation iPhone or iPad.

However, just released the system, but from the latest iOS, we can also be able to see some clues about the future of Apple hardware products, and has always been the new features of iOS system are inseparable from the hardware products. Last year, when Apple released iOS 7, it had revealed some of the highlights of the iPhone 5s, so from the iOS version released this year, we can also see some of the highlights of the future iPhone or iPad.

Fall release

Apple has said that iOS 8 will be officially open for download in the summer, and Apple has been offering a new iPhone to complement the new system. So iPhone 6 will also be officially in the pre-installed iOS 8 system in September to meet with us, which is worth our longing.

Standard TouchID fingerprint identification system

Starting with iOS 8, Apple will be opening Touch ID fingerprinting to third-party applications, so the first fingerprinting Apple-led technology will also extend from the iPhone 5s to all future iOS devices. Last year, many fans want the iPad to join this feature, and from now on the situation, in the future, whether the new iPad or iPhone 6, Touch ID fingerprint sensor will become the standard for new products.

Larger screen for iPhone and iPad

The new generation of Xcode code-development tools Apple introduced at WWDC adds the ability to adjust to different sizes of Apple, which looks like it was prepared for the introduction of iOS devices of different screen sizes. Although this does not explain everything, but before the 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch iPhone 6 and larger iPad rumors I believe I do not have to say everyone must have heard of.

Improve photo quality

iPhone camera quality has always been regarded as the industry's top, while iOS 8 system will add more shutter control and focusing elements. Therefore, the system optimization must also be accompanied by camera hardware improvements. At the same time on the iPad camera quality will have a qualitative improvement.

Seamless integration of control in more areas

HomeKit and HealthKit to join, so iOS 8 more focused on smart home and health tracking. In addition iBeacon technology will allow iOS to increase the positioning of indoor public places. The realization of these functions require new hardware. Not as good as the iPhone 6 or new iPad, will increase the improved M7 coprocessor, or within the iPhone to join more feature-rich sensors.

Impressive game

The iOS device to play the game should be a rare player, and the new iOS 8 will be more players look forward to, iOS 8 introduced Metal technology for mobile devices to bring the host level of quality. For players, Metal technology can significantly reduce the graphics processing load, so that performance can be further enhanced. Stronger multi-threaded processing makes it more efficient, and pre-compiled shadows can improve lighting effects.

Metal Although technology designed specifically for the A7 chip means that the iPad Air, iPhone 5s and Retina iPad mini can all enjoy the new look of Metal technology. But for a new generation of products, there will certainly be a further upgrade between the old models, so Apple may also specialize in the graphics processor or even add a separate graphics processor.

At the same time not only enhance the quality of the game, the next generation of devices will also support the MFi handle, and even the future of AppleTV and so on. If the Apple TV is really released, then the iPhone or iPad will certainly become a game controller, bringing players to Apple's gaming experience.

Closer than before

On the iPad, we will be able to see the caller's information or even answer the phone. E-mail can also be viewed on one device and replied on the other. If you really have a big screen version of the iPhone 6, then the gap between it and the iPad will become increasingly blurred. This means iPad mini will be closer to the iPhone. Although Apple will try to widen the gap between the iPad and the iPhone on the system interface, the 5.5-inch, big-screen version of iPhone 6 believes there are not many obvious differences compared to the iPad mini. If in the future iPad and iPhone are really completely integrated, we do not make a fuss. Who let the mobile phone screen is getting bigger and bigger, while the tablet is the pursuit of mini it?
