Apple last night presented the new version of iOS, the operating system for the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch. Meanwhile, Apple arrived at version 9 and Apple focuses on improvements in performance and usability.
Apple has added a feature that lets the battery life of the iPhone needs to be extended considerably. A so-called low- power mode, where different features are turned off to conserve power. The iPhone 6 This function must ensure that the battery lasts longer three hours on a full charge. This feature we already know more of Android, which manufacturers already have a lot more to squeeze know from the battery than three additional hours, possible that Apple continues to improve this feature in future versions.
New News and Notes app
Apple also has two new applications presented, a new News app reminiscent in appearance to Flipboard. Containing all the news articles are displayed from different publishers, currently there are no Dutch publishers added. News will soon replace the Newsstand app (Kiosk), an app which for years is in iOS but is not very popular.
Also, Apple presented a new Notes app which is an upgrade from the current Notes app, the new version offers support for photos and drawings and is thus more a competitor to services like Evernote and OneNote, but the latter probably remain popular with most users.
Apple Pay crosses ocean
Apple Pay cross the ocean and will also be available in the UK on a roll in other European countries is still not disclosed. Pay Apple is likely this year no longer available in the UK. However, Apple takes another iOS app on the shovel for Apple Pay. The Passbook app in which loyalty cards, tickets and the like can be stored is replaced by the Wallet app. This has the same function as passbook, but can also make payments via Pay Apple.
Siri
Siri is more or less upgraded to Siri 2.0 because there are a lot of extra features available for the voice assistant. Many of the new features are not really new but we have already seen in Cortana and Google Now. So Siri will also receive a Proactive Assistant to the user recalls certain issues such as when to leave to get his next appointment, automatically add events to the calendar that arrive by e-mail or launch a music app when you ears plug in.
Finally, Siri is trying to fill your information automatically when you receive a call from an unknown number, Siri will search your emails to see if there may be a name associated with that number. Apple insists it on the user’s privacy. The company employs all this information not be linked to the Apple ID, the data is kept completely anonymous, says Apple.
For the Belgians, there is good news, iOS 9 will support the Flemish. There will soon hear a Flemish woman’s voice.
Use multiple apps at once on iPad
Apple
iOS also has the necessary improvements for the iPad user. After years of nagging and Apple has finally added supplication true multitasking and you can open two apps side by side on the iPad. Both apps are active and can be used. It is also possible to drag and drop information from one to the other app if that is supported. However, this feature is only available on the iPad Air 2, or in the future receive more iPads support for this feature is still unclear, but at this time the split view is only available for the iPad 2. Air
It is also possible to make a video call where the video window is displayed in miniature in the corner so you can do some meanwhile else on your iPad. There will also be a sort of half multitasking where you can sweep an app inside on the side and it only a narrow strip assigned. This multi-task functions will be available on the iPad Air, Air iPad 2, iPad mini 2 and iPad Mini 3.
Another new feature is the ability to use the iPhone keyboard as trackpad. By using two fingers to swipe over it, in addition, separate copy, and paste buttons added.
Another much requested feature, Apple has not yet added to the iPad. The ability to add multiple users to the iPad, so that everyone has their “own” environment. An iPad is more of a family unit and most dads and mums can not find it as fun as the kids in their e-mail or come to other applications such as work-related. This is a feature that is available on Android for years and where many users for years to nag at Apple. Once again the company makes these users in the lurch, for many people it will be a disappointment.
