IOS 15: iPhone 15 has the best new features, and taking photos of documents has become the biggest highlight.
IOS 15 is currently in the hands of developers, and it was released as a public beta in July, which is a large-scale update. These changes may not completely change the way you use the iPhone; On the contrary, it's more like progress. However, there are so many changes in iOS 15 that the new features and improvements in the iPhone software update summarized by Apple itself have become many points in the seemingly endless scroll bar.
In other words, last year's iOS 14 update may have greatly changed the appearance of Apple iPhone software. But iOS 15 has introduced so many changes and adjustments here and there that it will definitely improve your iPhone experience in at least some ways. Or at least, this seems to be the game plan.
Apple's iOS 15 is positioned as a software update, which aims to help you better connect with others, focus more on the task at hand (even if the task is to relax rather than work), and help improve the built-in application of iPhone. Apple also wants to make more use of the built-in onboard intelligence of the iPhone, but if Android users think some of these features look like knockoffs, they can forgive them.
Because everyone handles notifications, any changes to these incoming alerts will be a big deal. IOS 15 takes a multi-pronged approach to combat notification fatigue, part of which starts with redesigning their appearance. Alerts from the app now include a larger app icon, and incoming messages, phone calls and emails are highlighted with photos of people trying to contact (some people think that at least if you have their photos in your address book). The idea is that it is easier to visually classify notifications-your eyes may be attracted by people you know and applications you value.
The notification management in iOS 15 also extends to the new focus mode that Apple plans to launch. Think of it as a more intelligent "Do Not Disturb" form, which can identify which notifications you need to see and which you can't display at a given point in time.
Do not disturb mode has been retained in iOS 15, but it has been enhanced by other focus mode settings-personal, work and sleep are the default settings, but you can create your own settings when playing games, reading, driving or performing other tasks. With each focus mode setting, you will be able to specify the notifications to be delivered. For example, the work mode can allow relaxed messages from the team, emails from the boss, and so on. Just like personal settings can block all these work messages.
In the past year, we have been changing the video messaging application, so it thinks that Apple wants to improve its video chat products for iOS 15. FaceTime has the kind of improvement that video messaging applications expect-Facetime adds that if you don't like the current messy appearance of the application, you can stack chat participants in the same size blocks in a grid view. Spatial audio support makes people's voices sound as if they are coming from the direction on the screen, so as to have a more realistic conversation. You can also easily switch between sound insulation mode and broad-spectrum mode. Broad-spectrum mode can hone your voice, while broad-spectrum mode can absorb all the sounds around you.
Many built-in applications will see new features in the annual iOS update, and iOS 15 is no exception in this respect. The most significant change occurred in Safari, reflecting Apple's plan to overhaul its web browser in macOS 12 Monterey.
Safari looks leaner on the Mac, so Apple is using it on a smaller iPhone screen. In iOS 15, this means a new look, shrinking the browser's tab bar and moving it to the bottom of the screen. Even if you use a bigger iPhone, you can access it more easily with one hand. When you scroll down the page, the tab bar moves away. (This also happens when you click on the screen. )
Safari has undergone the most striking reform, but the map has also changed in iOS 15. The application will introduce many enhanced details to show mountains and deserts. Apple also plans to add more details to the city view, such as altitude, buildings, trees and detailed landmarks. These will appear in selected cities when iOS 15 is released, and will be extended to other cities over time-this is the standard way for Apple to introduce many map improvements. You need an A 12 bionic processor or a higher version of iPhone to enjoy this function.
The biggest change is to enjoy the function with you. Now, when someone shares a link to an Apple news story, an image in a photo or a podcast episode in a podcast application, clicking the link will take you to a special section in the corresponding application. (Apple Music and Apple TV will also be supported. ) When sharing the section with you, you can reply to the person who sent you the link without jumping back to the information; You can also repair the * * * content in the message for later access.
When even Wallet gets new features, you will know that this is a quite big iOS update. Apple is successfully letting you use the iPhone as a car key, extending this support to family keys, office security cards and hotel keys. (Yes, iOS 15 should also increase support for more vehicles. The success of this specific function will depend on the support of smart lock manufacturers, hotel chains and car manufacturers, but something tells me that these institutions will be eager to cooperate with Apple.
Health applications have been able to collect a lot of data about steps and body measurements-so much so that iOS 15 introduces the trend analysis function, which can better draw your progress chart and even remind you when any new trends in your health are detected. This update also increases the ability to monitor walking stability-a new indicator that can help doctors determine whether you are at risk of falling.
Few apps have benefited from Apple's acquisition like the built-in weather app. With the purchase of Dark Sky, we have seen some changes in iOS 14. But the version of iOS 15 does improve the appearance and function of the application-so much so that Apple's built-in tools will do many things that you usually turn to one of the best weather applications to deal with.
Anyone who has used Google Lens may hear that Apple is adding visual search and text live broadcast functions to iOS 15. But doing something on another platform doesn't mean that it won't become a popular built-in function of iPhone-capability.
As the name implies, the function of visual search is that you take a picture of something, and then you can slide up or click the information button to learn more about the object. It should come in handy when viewing statues, works of art or historical sites.
Text live broadcast is an interesting function, which really shows Apple's desire for iOS 15 to use artificial intelligence. Dynamic text identifies the text in a photo. You can highlight and copy it, and then save it in a note or email. If the relevant text is a sign or an address, you can click on it to find the location in the map, and the phone number will trigger a phone call. Photos, screenshots, Quick View and Safari in iOS 15 will support real-time text.
In recent years, Apple has been vigorously promoting privacy protection, as it tries to distinguish itself from rival technology giants who are more arrogant in user data. (There is no name, but the culprit may be that Apple thinks "face" rhymes with "book". For example, the recent update of iOS 14.5 added the function of requiring third-party applications to ask your permission before tracking you.
The photo application aims to enhance the recall function and collect photos of specific occasions, places or people into an album. Apple promises to provide a more immersive version in iOS 15, with interactive interface, automatic color adjustment and new animation. If you subscribe to Apple Music, you can also use the songs in the huge music library as the background music for your memories.
In addition, iOS 15 promises to provide new widgets that did not appear in last year's update. Apple promises to provide new plug-ins for applications and functions such as Find My, Game Center, App Store Today, Sleep, Mail and People with Family Sharing.
Do you expect this iOS 15?
