The official release of iOS 16 is less than two months away. Apple's system over the past two years has always had a feeling that it sounds like a lot has changed, but it doesn't seem to have changed. In iOS 16, except for the major changes to the lock screen interface, there is no gap between iOS 15 and iOS 15.
To upgrade or not to upgrade, it becomes a tangled question.
From the details, we can't find the characteristics that can satisfy everyone's preferences, but the development and upgrade of the iOS system has obvious directions and characteristics. Whether Apple understands what our users think, maybe just take a look and you will have the answer.
understand the album
Since iOS 15, Apple has been "heavyly stocking" the OCR text recognition function. When we open a photo and click the text recognition button, we can copy the text on the photo to the clipboard just like operating text.
If it is an English text, you can choose and translate it; if it is a phone, you can choose and dial it directly; if it is an address, you can jump directly to the map.
Subsequently, the scope of this function was further expanded. Now , almost all pictures and even video pause pages in iPhone , Mac, and iPad are TXT files in the view of the system, and the text in the pictures can be arbitrarily selected and copied.
With iOS 16, we can see Apple's intentions more clearly. The iOS system deeply learns our photo albums locally, and the content of each photo is recorded. Now the fastest way to record information is often to take photos and screenshots. If you want to find a photo, you can "Siri" it, just like using a search engine.
For example, many years ago, when I was out on a business trip, I ate a very good barbecue and took a lot of photos. But now I forgot the name of the store, what should I do? Just search for the word "barbecue" in the album, and iOS will push the photo of that time in front of me.
iOS digitizes the history of our physical lives and facilitates the efficient processing of everyday information.
share, share, share
Apple's products have also been adjusted to meet new needs arising from the epidemic, such as strengthening the front camera for remote meetings and increasing the number of iPad microphones.
On the system, it is a variety of collaborative sharing functions.
You can share an album, presentation, reminder; you can also write and draw in the same memo with friends and colleagues, and see each other in real time; you can package and share browser tabs; you can share Your account password.
Apple even sold off the key and will launch a new collaboration app, "It will not only help you express your own whimsy, but also facilitate everyone to collaborate and discuss together. You can jot down the flashes of inspiration and share files. , and insert web links, documents, video and audio. ”
Without ecology, there is no iOS
The third evolutionary direction of the iOS system, I think, is ecological. Sharing allows one Apple user to connect with other Apple users, while Ecology allows all of a user's Apple devices to connect and work as one device.
The self-developed M-series chips open up desktop applications and mobile applications, and the front-end scheduling of iPad OS reduces the experience of working on mobile devices and working on desktop devices.
The relay function opens up the data flow between all Apple devices, and the common control function allows them to share a set of physical hardware.
The realization of these functions usually requires upgrading to the latest version of the system.
In the past two years, after the official version of iOS has been upgraded, the system freezes and battery life crashes have rarely occurred. As a user with almost only a beta version of the system, I usually recommend that friends who use Apple's family bucket upgrade to the latest system in time. But for users who only have one iPhone, if you agree with the above three directions, you might as well try it out.
