10 iOS: Apple in the pursuit of its competitors – Clubic

iOS 10 marks a cap system that drives the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch. It does not translate, however, for such a radical change that Mac OS X squarely off again with a blank page. The 10th version of iOS, her only improve and refine the foundations laid by the previous three, drawing in passing much inspiration from the competition.

“Redmond, start your photocopiers” , proudly displayed his WWDC Apple in 2004. The Cupertino company was preparing to launch Mac OS X Tiger, while Microsoft was sinking somewhat in the development of the successor to Windows XP. The iPhone still existed only on rumor sites and in the labs of 1 Infinite Loop.

If we can say that Apple has significantly changed the design of a mobile OS with the first iPhone, it does not seem unreasonable to argue that, faced with competition brought more and more on services and the cloud (Google, Amazon, Facebook, Spotify …), Apple is found, more than before, in a follower position.

and it has nothing abnormal in truth. Google is inspired by Apple, Apple was inspired by Google and that’s how that competition upgrades. Nevertheless, it is a fact that for 10 iOS, Apple went to fishing to features and interface ideas from the competition. Google, but also WeChat, Facebook Messenger, Snapchat or Spotify were clearly influences for this update.

This record was achieved with the first preview for iOS developers 10. We will update over the new beta, until the release of the final version

Caution: c. ‘ is a beta!

10
iOS released in final version in the fall. Meanwhile, the current version is available for developers who hold a subscription to Apple Developer Program valid. A public beta will be available in July. In any case, we do not recommend installing a non-final version of iOS (or any system for that matter) on a device that you use every day. If you are curious to test these new features, wait for the publication of one or two public betas. Otherwise, wait until the release of the final. You will survive

iOS. 10: compatible devices


Before going into the details of the new iOS 10, dwell a little on compatible devices. If iOS 9 gave a reprieve to the iPhone and iPad in the dock with prerequisites identical to iOS 8 version 10 dropped the ax on all smartphones, tablets and smart-based players A5 and / or equipped 512 MB of RAM. The iPhone 4s, the third-generation iPad, the first iPad Mini and the 5th generation iPod Touch through the cracks. The update to iOS 10 therefore requires the following devices:


Home, Lock: the big clean


iOS 10 reviewing a number of central elements of the interface. Not the most central that remains true to himself: springboard is absolutely unchanged on iPhone as on iPad
The main novelty lies in the Today screen and widgets.. Hitherto confined to the center of notifications tab, it now takes up residence on the left of the first home screen, a choice also quite logical since it is already here that we find the latest news and apps frequently used.

Above, the view today is now accessible from the lock screen, always with a sweep to the right of the screen, while a gesture to the left now opens the camera. And so goes an iconic element of the first iPhone: Slide to unlock . Whether you use TouchID or not, we now unlock an iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch via pressing the home button.

Visually, notifications such as widgets clearly recall the dear Material Design with Google individual cards on a light background.

so notifications are isolated, but what is new is the ability to interact, notably through 3D Touch on iPhone 6s, with them directly from the lock screen. Obviously if you have protected your iPhone with a password or TouchID, a confirmation will be required.

For those who pile up late notifications, it is now possible to delete them all at once, a way to harmonize the functioning of the iPhone and the Apple Watch as the action is the same: a 3D Touch pressure on the

When we say that Springboard has. not moved, that’s not entirely true. It has enriched ability to remove most Apple applications from the home screen. To hide them, in fact, more than uninstall them. The resources except user data, are not released so far, and if possible the “resettlement” from the App Store, it’s more for the form. The apps are not really available on the download kiosk, and they settle instantly, proof that they were not parties far.

The widgets also invite the display d ‘Home. Pressing “3D Touch” on an icon and is used to display the application in question widget, a function close enough gestures to the excellent Chris Lacy Action Launcher for Android.
