Five smart features in the latest apple ios 9

 

iOS 9 is here and brings a lot of changes, but what are the outstanding features that are going to get your attention?

In the same vein Apple made a lot of noise about music and news, but really think there are more important things in IOS 9 most iPad users and iPhone are much more concerned ...

Better Battery Life:

Apple brushes something about this, but I suspect is actually the feature that most users will appreciate above all: nine will make your iOS devices to run faster and longer.

In the keynote of Apple uses the example from 6 iPhone (unsurprisingly not mentioned for the iPhone 6S heavily filtered) saying it's going to have an hour of screen time (over a jump of 10%). Meanwhile, a new energy-saving mode can add three hours. We are waiting for the commitments exists in this low-power mode, but welcome - and overdue.
 Updates for all (in small sizes):

Normally, each new version of iOS means cutting another generation of iOS devices. IOS in September this should have meant the end of the road for iPhone 4S, iPad 2, iPad Mini and iPod touch fifth. But surprise: all IOS receive 9! (Although I'm sure they will be limited some features).

Besides Apple is reducing the size of the updates of iOS with iOS 1.3 9 GB of space required to download and install - that is smaller than iOS 3.5 x 8. For older devices with less storage in particular, This is big news and a lot less of a hassle to keep up

Real Side-by-Side Multitasking:

Apple just demonstrated this feature in the iPad (and iPad 2 will require air for full functionality), but the chance to finally see and run applications side by side reaches iOS 9. This has the potential to reduce a gap between the key PC and PC devices post 'and with a greater than 12' Pro 'perfect sense rumored that makes the iPad for Apple assault on the low-end PC market.

Apple said iPhones also have the function but not elabourate. I suspect the reality is the iPhone 'Plus' models will function with the iPhone 6 Plus get the ability to look at other applications (video and run picture-in-picture), while in September iPhone 6S Plus full applications will run alongside others

 Intelligent assistant Siri and proactive:

In simple terms proactive is Apple's answer to Google Now and you can change the way you interact with your iPhone.

As Google Now add the entire contents of your device to be able to display the information you need (directions, tickets, calendar entries and more) before you need it. But unlike Google Now, Apple is committed to keep all information in your device so that nothing is shared with third parties or advertisers.

Proactive will help greatly improved Siri, which understands more natural language requests and perform actions in both Apple's core applications and third-party applications.

Together even learn user behavior. For example, if you run and listen to music I uptempo daily 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 a.m. to proactive then automatically jump to this time to connect headphones 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 a.m.. Or if you do a regular question every day and Siri You know the broader context automatically.

There is definitely potential for this feature to mess up and cause irritation, but we all know that the best help is that you do not have to ask first, so the potential is huge. Moreover it must be given to the hugely ambitious plans for Google Now Android M.


Earlier iOS  9 Access for All:

iOS May 8 has been feature packed, but was also jammed full of mistakes and received a host of solutions that sometimes did more harm than good.

Apple's solution is to offer iOS 9 Beta access for all: consumers and developers ahead of the official release in September. Given betas have many bugs this solution may seem crazy, but it's not.

What Apple is doing is to give those who like to live on the edge exactly what they want, while creating a much larger test group (likely in the millions), which should allow iOS 9 (and all future versions) to be much more rigorous beta tested when the labels are released.


Of course collect these features is not to deny the improvements that Apple has made maps, notes, typing, or Healthkit Homekit, but while those who are nice to have my options will have tangible benefits for all users - no matter how tech-savvy or casual.

But the best news of all is, despite the launch yesterday, Apple is sure to have remained the main parts of iOS 9 in secret. First because not everything will be ready yet and secondly because the notable features (like Touch Force) would give the first leg in the next iPhone and iPhone 6S 6S Plus.

Secret behind the apple iphone home button

The iPhone home button is where my heart is, and why it hurts to see today rumors indicate that Apple is working on a way to get rid of this entry clicky.

I see compensation. More screen space and less bezel "unnecessary" for future models of iPhone. An onscreen button also means fewer parts and therefore fewer jobs AppleCare Repair.

That's all well and good, but not worth substitute. Software buttons are not as easy to use with tactile feedback to press something inward.

An iPhone without a start button is unlikely to come to the iPhone 6S, which can be more than an iterative update. But I can think of many reasons why you should not debut on the iPhone in July, either.

IPhone makes it different from Android:

I like the Android phones. I'm a fan of Moto X design, which came to the Nexus 6 by a factor of even greater form last year. I gave two great praise despite having the on screen buttons.

Additionally, the G4 LG, HTC One Sony Xperia M9 and Z4 are designed to be nearly bezel without missing out on the physical buttons and the expansion of its screen sizes.

But that does not mean I want the new iPhone to sacrifice his thumb-sized entry to an elongated screen, even if the larger screen does not have the dimensions of the largest real phone.

A physical home button has always been part of the design of the iPhone. I want the next iPhone is more like Android in some respects, but this is not what I had in mind.

 Non-looking click:

I really like the approach of Samsung here. a thin start button is used in the Samsung Galaxy Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge, giving me a middle ground and the first choice for our best phone.
In addition to return to the home screen, it is acting as a fingerprint sensor and a double click will quickly open the camera application. Holding it down brings the Google Now menu.

Try doing that with a button on the screen. Suddenly, without looking mechanic that is not an option, which requires the eyes to look down at the screen more than they already do.
 Disappearing physical buttons are a bad trend:

Physical buttons are in the "specifications" endangered list, and like a lot of new trends, I do not care much for it. Maybe I'm getting old, but my fingers know what I'm pushing.

Apple fingerprints are already all over the murder weapon - is fired the mute switch on the iPad Air 2 for switching of silence on the screen. The next iPhone could be in it.

The mute switch is one of the features of the iPhone I like that you will not find on Android. It could and a start button on screen will be the following things Apple adopts Google?

For owners of current iPhone without Android experience, remember when you want to switch on and off a large older a game console like the N64? Now think of the PS3 or PS4.

Haptic feedback buttons are just one solution. How many times do I mean to turn my PS4 and restore instead? The even smaller, harder to see the buttons on the PS4 things worse.

That is the type of interface you expect from a new iPhone without a start button: confusing and not always work well. I have enough problems with the onscreen keyboard since AutoCorrect apparently became dumber with iOS 8.3 update.

Five latest features in the apple ios 9

Apple did not announce a new iPhone at the conference of its creator, but he did reveal something so good, especially if you're planning to hold your iPhone for a year or so. Apple detailed its big annual software update for iPhones and iPads, iOS 9, Monday. So it's going to improve your phone and tablet:

Enhanced applications:

Homegrown applications Apple have also improved. For example, the Notes application now has formatting options, and can upload photos in implementing yellow-paged color, and draw directly on the Notes application. You can also use it to checklists or to-do lists.

Apple Maps has also improved, and now finally includes transit directions, one of the clearest differences remaining between it and Google Maps. Apple has also strengthened its directory business, and now tells you if you are looking at a business that accepts payment from Apple.

Apple also announced a new application called News, which is an attractive display for reading magazines and the web on an iPhone or iPad from publishers like the New York Times, Wired and Quartz. The application is very slippery and includes an embedded video.

Low Power Mode:

Google is not the only company that is serious about managing the smartphone battery. According to Craig Federighi, an iPhone should see another hour of daily battery life with iOS 9. But if you're really low on juice, Apple has added a low-power mode that can turn into three hours of waiting. Activate low power mode should be as easy as pushing a button.

Smarter Siri:

Siri be smarter 9. IOS software voice assistant can now answer questions like "show me the photos of Utah from August." Siri is also better in the context - and may remind you not to forget your coffee on the roof of the car, for example, as a reminder of a web page you were viewing while you were at work when I get home. One must anticipate what you might want to do, offering suggestions for people to contact and applications you may want to implement.

Siri will also be able to provide transit directions. According to Apple, Siri fields 1000000000 visits per week and is 40 percent faster in responding to last year.

Multi-user mode on the iPad:

This has been a long time coming. The iPad can now perform various tasks, such as a laptop.

As part of IOS 9, you can run two applications simultaneously on an iPad. Slide your finger across the screen, you can open a secondary column. With one touch, you can access multiple applications in a sidebar. Apple calls "split view" and that it is possible to work in two applications simultaneously.

You can divide the screen equally between two applications, and it is also possible to have a single streamlined column if you just need some information, like a list of emails or messages. You can even have video or sound is in a resizable window background, what Apple called "picture-in-picture".

Apple has also stuck a lot of convenient shortcuts bar Suggestions on the iPad onscreen keyboard. For example, to send emails, you now have to cut and paste options. The keyboard can also be used as a trackpad moving two fingers up and down.

Apple has also upgraded its screen task switcher. Most of the features are available for most iPads bought in the last two years, although those with iPads aging could be lost. Game review will only be available for the iPad 2 Air, which came out last year.

A real competitor to Google Now:


One thing Google does it better than Apple is knowing what you want before you want it. It is what makes such a convincing Google Now application, and is the type of interface that works even better in a SmartWatch.

Apple finally announced its Google Now alternative Thursday. It is called proactive, and context wraps, search, and cards in a single interface, much like Google Now. For example, to connect headphones, automatically you know to start playing music.

A key difference is that Apple stands proactive is running on the device itself, not in the cloud, Apple is fishing as a challenge to Google and its policy of collecting user data.
