Noul sistem de operare iOS 11 tocmai a fost lansat de către Apple și poate să fie instalat de toți utilizatorii ce au aparate compatibile. Apple numește această lansare drept un mare pas înainte, însă ar fi bine să fim puțin realiști: iOS 11 nu face altceva decât să prindă din urmă Android și să mai copieze ceva din funcțiile Windows Mobile. Și din păcate, pentru utilizatorii de iPhone, noul sistem de operare aduce prea puține elemente cu adevărat utile. Pe de altă parte, utilizatorii de iPad au de ce să fie mulțumiți.
Update-ul de iOS 11 are 1.9 GB și de la ora 20:00 poate fi instalat și de utilizatorii din România. Merită însă?
Păi haideți să vedem ce aduce nou pentru iPhone.
1. Îmbunătățiri pentru Live Photos și noul format de compresie
Combinația celor două funcții vor permite poze de calitate mai bună, un control mai exact asupra imaginii statice salvate plus faptul că pozele vor ocupa mai puțin spațiu pe telefon.
2. App Store arată mai bine.
Sau cel puțin la nivel de design, înfățișarea magazinului de aplicații e schimbată, unii zic că în bine.
3. Aplicația de mesagerie are o interfață mai curată.
4. Siri se vrea mai inteligent
Noua versiune de Siri ar trebui să beneficieze de mai multe opțiuni de modulare și să nu mai sune a robot. Prin AI se dorește să fie și mai util, poate să prindă puțin din urmă Alexa sau Google Assistant.
5. Apare un nou Control Center
Adică o interfață redesenată, parcă copiată din Windows Mobile.
6. Notificările sunt mai simplificate
Cele mai recente sau cele ce nu au fost încă vizualizate apar la un loc, fără tab-uri separate. Prin tragere apar pe ecran și pot fi consultate sau se poate interacționa cu ele.
7. Do not disturb mode pentru momentul în care aparatul e folosit în mașină.
Sau mai clar, imposibilitatea de interacționare cu notificările, mesajele prin touch, atunci când iPhone-ul e folosit într-un suport de parbriz.
8. Apple Maps ar fi mai detaliat și ar funcționa mai bine în interior, dar nu vă așteptați la minuni în România.
9. Opțiune de partajare pentru parolele WiFi
10. O grămadă de emoji-uri noi, deliciul adolescenților.
11. În sfârșit un file manager ce merge cu opțiuni de drag & drop.
12. Aplicația Notes parcă e mai utilă.
13. Detalii mai multe despre Storage.
14. Drag & Drop și între aplicații, partajarea de preferințe muzicale cu prietenii
15. ARkit, Aple Pay in iMessage sunt chestii interesante și utile, mai puțin pentru România sau cei ce nu au încă noile modele iPhone.
Plus multe altele.
Chiar dacă la prima vedere nu pare nimic spectaculos, nu văd niciun motiv pentru care să nu faceți upgrade-ul dacă vă regăsiți aparatul în lista celor compatibile (adica aici)!
Spor la download și instalare! La mine s-a descărcat și instalat în mai puțin de 20 minute, fără niciun fel de eroare. Până acum …
