IOS 2 keywords: application
second generation
The advent of the iOS system was in July 2008, and Apple finally launched an App specifically for the iOS system.
Store, app store. At that time, it seemed like an unreachable thing to install applications directly on smartphones, but with iOS,
With the release of 2, users can directly select and install third-party applications on their mobile phones without connecting to a computer.
Application store
app; application
The emergence of Store can be said to be one of the most important changes in the iOS system. IPhone users can not only browse and install applications in their mobile phones, but also make versions directly in their mobile phones.
Update. This is a very huge change, which is completely different from the way other systems download applications mainly through the Internet or third-party application stores. At the same time, Apple also passed the app.
Store has established its own ecosystem. Whether it's applications, music or movies, users can directly enter credit card information into their mobile phones for payment. The whole purchase process becomes extremely simple.
Simple and convenient, which also promotes consumers' enthusiasm for payment and purchase.
iOS SDK
The second biggest update brought by the iOS 2 system is iOS.
The birth of SDK development package. This is Apple's first powerful development tool for iOS platform developers. Through this development tool, even 3D games become very simple. Use other platforms
In contrast, the development of iOS applications has become more functional, better looking and more advanced. That is, since then, the powerful battle for iOS platform applications has begun.
But with this application,
The launch of Store App Store is not only the joy of success for Apple. In this process, Apple does not allow users to download from the App.
Installing applications outside the store has also become the goal of many users and competitors. At the same time, the pornographic and violent applications that often appear in the App Store also make the App
The audit system of the store has been tested again and again.
On iOS
2 system, the support of Microsoft Exchange mail service system and the increase of MobileMe cloud service synchronization function also made iOS at that time.
The system seems to be more than one stage ahead of all competitors. Later in iOS 2.0. 1 and iOS.
In minor updates such as 2.0.2, Apple corrected bugs and errors such as battery problems in time.
IOS 3 keywords: new features
IOS 3.0 came out with iPhone 3GS in June 2009. Like 3GS, this version of the system does not have any major functions. On the contrary, Apple has filled various gaps in the system through a large number of functions and application upgrades of iOS 3.
Cut, Copy and Paste
Apple has brought a new way of text selection in iOS 3. They are very intuitive about the combination of text magnifying glass and selection slider, and they are better than their competitors in practicality.
Spotlight search
Finding content in iOS is very laborious, so a system-level search is imperative. Spotlight has added a search page to the left of the main screen, where users can search for all kinds of things.
Information, including contacts, emails, calendars, notes, etc. Apple has finally caught up with a product that has been used in BlackBerry, Palm OS, webOS and Windows.
The ubiquitous function in mobile devices is to quickly enter text on the home screen for search.
Third-party applications push notifications
Apple's promise at the iOS 2 conference was not fulfilled until iOS 3. However, the notification push of iOS is still far ahead of competitors. Notification push is similar to the original function of multitasking, but if the push window pops up too frequently, it may make users feel unhappy.
In addition, MMS support and voice playback functions have been added to iOS 3.
IOS 3.2 keywords: iPad
The main purpose of iOS 3.2 is to add necessary changes to the system to match the resolution of the iPad screen, including the horizontal home screen, new pop-up dialog box and so on.
Example of large screen user interface
In order to bring iOS to the iPad, Apple did not simply enlarge the UI of the iPhone, but added some changes specially designed for the big screen. The most obvious is the addition of the left sidebar.
Yes Generally speaking, an application has a list of content to choose from, and the user will enter the content view after selecting it. In iOS,
In 3.2, Apple placed the content list on the left side of the screen, and the content was displayed directly on the right side of the list, eliminating the step of returning. When the iPad enters portrait mode, the content will be displayed in full screen mode.
Display, and the content list is not hidden behind the back button, but appears in a pop-up form.
New application program design
IOS apps have also added many unique changes to the iPad.
Move it. Safari has a separate bookmark bar App.
Store adds the effect of CoverFlow, the photo application will organize pictures in a stacked way, the music application will be simplified, and the setting application will also get a new dual-panel display mode. Most importantly, these original
It seems that the application is not simply "enlarged" to the iPad's 1024x768 resolution display, but has been adjusted more naturally.
Quasi materialization
This is extensive.
The UI style familiar to iOS users is in iOS.
3.2 What has been added. Quasi-materialization adds an interface style that imitates real things to many native applications. Although many people think that this appearance looks a bit old, the bigger problem is this realistic style and
There is no direct correlation between user interfaces. The address book may look like a book, but it can't turn pages.
IOS 4 keywords: multitasking
20 10 IOS 4 came out in June. Its main task is to bring more functions to advanced users, including multitasking, application folders, WiFi binding, spell checking, customized Spotlight search (web pages and Wikipedia), unified inbox and support for multiple Exchange accounts.
Of course, multitasking is the biggest selling point of this version of the system. However, iOS 4 does not technically support true multitasking, that is, no application is allowed to run in the background.
In addition to multitasking, iOS 4 also brings some other innovative features:
FaceTime
In order to take advantage of the front camera of iPhone 4, Apple brought the FaceTime video calling function. Although they are not the first manufacturer to bring video calls, FaceTime is better than other similar functions and the interface is simpler.
FOLDER
In iOS 4, Apple finally brought the function of creating folders for the home screen. Their solution is very simple, just drag an application icon onto another icon to form a folder. This UI innovation was followed by Android 4.0.
Retina retina display screen
IPhone 4 has a faster processor and Retina display, so developers can develop higher quality applications. Since the resolution of Retina display is only twice that of the previous iPhone, developers don't have to rush to support this new screen.
Productivity function
Although iOS 4 may still not attract hardcore BlackBerry users, Apple has at least gradually enriched the system through a series of functions, such as supporting multiple Exchange accounts and a unified inbox. System-level spell checking also appeared for the first time, calendar applications also allowed users to hide individual items, and information applications also obtained search functions.
IOS 5 keywords: Siri, notification center, etc.
Like iOS 3, iOS 5 has an iPhone with an "S". Like iOS 3, iOS 5 contains a lot of new features. If Apple's hardware is the anvil in today's smartphone war, then iOS 5 is the hammer they use to cast market share.
Voice control function on iPhone4S
This "virtual assistant" replaces the voice control in iOS and brings some very interesting functional experiences. Siri allows users to ask questions and then give suggestions in natural language. Siri can
Enough to communicate with everything in the system, but also support text transcription function. However, as a beta function, Siri also has some imperfections: it sometimes cannot connect to the network to perform speech recognition or transcription, and
Sometimes the feedback is strange.
Notification center
This feature works in a similar way to Android. Users can swipe down from the top of the screen to view unread notifications received by the system, or clear the notifications by the small "×" beside it.
iMessage
Use iOS
5. Apple began to seize the revenue of operators, and at the same time dig users for BBM service of BlackBerry. Similar to BBM, iMessage can display delivery receipts and send multimedia messages. Unlike operators.
SMS service, this function is completely free. IMessage can automatically synchronize the information between all users' iOS devices, but it is also limited to the communication between iOS users.
There is no need to activate the computer.
In iOS 5, Apple canceled the restriction that devices must be connected to a PC to activate, which undoubtedly brought great convenience to users.
ITunes wireless synchronization
By default, the Wi-Fi synchronization function will only be performed in the charging state, and its working effect is also very good.
OTA upgrade
It's hard to believe that it wasn't until iOS 5 that Apple brought the OTA upgrade function, and the system upgrade of iOS devices was really separated from the PC.
iCloud
Finally, iOS 5 brought a new cloud service called iCloud to replace MobileMe. With this feature, iOS devices and their documents and other files can be directly backed up to iCloud. Among Apple's several attempts at cloud services, iCloud is undoubtedly the most successful.
IOS 6 Keywords: Goodbye, Google Maps
IOS 6 was released in WWDC on June 20 12. This new version contains some surprises and expected changes, among which the biggest response is the addition of map applications.
map
Google Maps has always been regarded as the benchmark of online maps. Since the first generation of iPhone in 2007, it is also a map service in iPhone. However, due to the patent lawsuits of the two companies, Apple is ruthless.
I decided to develop my own map service. However, at the beginning of its appearance, the quality of Apple Maps, which was full of mistakes, became the object of ridicule, and even President Cook issued an apology statement.
Siri enhancement
In the new version of Siri, the function of this voice assistant has been further enhanced. Users can now query sports scores, event schedules, athlete data and restaurant reviews through it.
Notification center
A brand-new Do Not Disturb mode has been added to the notification function, through which users can set the time period that they don't want to be disturbed by the notification. In addition, in the drop-down notification menu, users can quickly update the status.
deposit book
In this mobile payment solution of Apple, users can collect all relevant payment information, such as bills, boarding passes and coupons. In the future, Apple may bring real mobile payment capability to Passbook, thus directly competing with Google Wallet.
IOS 7 keywords: hello, Jony Ive
IOS 7 has brought a new look to this already somewhat outdated operating system. In addition to the younger color scheme and UI, this system also contains many changes.
external
IOS 7 was developed by Jony Ive. He boldly abandoned the style of the Jobs era and brought great visual changes to the system. The quasi-materialized, textured and flashing icons are gone, and the overall style of iOS 7 is more modern and flat.
control center
Another example of learning Android. Users no longer need to enter the setup application to adjust the functions of the device. Now they just need to slide up from the bottom of the screen, and the pulled control center contains many shortcut switches, such as volume/brightness level, Wi-Fi/ Bluetooth/do not disturb mode switch.
AirDrop
This feature allows users to easily share pictures, videos and other files with people around them. Although this feature was first introduced on OS X Mountain Lion, you can't share files across iOS and OS X.
ITunes radio
This music streaming service is Apple's attempt to challenge Spotify and Rdio. It allows users to choose songs according to their own needs, but this service is more around music stations of songs, singers, albums and genres.
Cameras and pictures
New camera applications are no longer as "stupid" as before. Users can adjust some shooting parameters while using the built-in filter. The photo application also adds the sorting function of events or places, allowing users to organize their photos more intuitively.
multitask
This feature has been greatly upgraded in iOS 7. After double-clicking the Home button, the system will open a brand-new multi-tasking interface, in which each opened application icon and thumbnail will be displayed. The way to close the application is simpler, just click the thumbnail of the application and slide up.
Touch ID
The introduction of iPhone 5S biometric sensor marks the arrival of a new security measure. Touch ID allows the user to unlock the device or change the password of Apple ID by fingerprint when purchasing content, thus saving the user's time to some extent.
