Well finally Apple\u2019s flagship system that runs on all Ipads, Iphones and Ipods has been given a facelift in the anticipation of the new set of devices rumoured to be released in September, like the IPhone 6. IOS is beginning to listen to the users\u2019 cry to feature functions that will make the life of their users easier. Many features were announced in June but I have put together those that I think will make it a happy system to use.<\/span><\/p>\n

Battery life improvement; The new software is said to make your battery life last longer, so you can enjoy your devices for more time before you need a charge.<\/span><\/p>\n

Touch Login; Apple, in their last phone,\u00a0blessed\u00a0users\u00a0with an unlocking system where you print your finger on the home button and your phone unlocks. Now they are taking it a step further where, users\u00a0can use their fingerprints to login to applications.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Keyboard getting personal; Apple is now letting third party apps\u00a0run keyboards on their systems, something that was never allowed in the past. This means your apps can customise their keyboards within the app or you can download keyboards on your phone from the App Store.<\/span><\/p>\n

Your phone is healthier; Your new software will collect more data about your activities, and not just collect it, it will also make sense of it and push it to a built in health app on the phone. Apple has also confirmed this will work together with wearables not unlike the nike fuelband to\u00a0better help with the collection and analysis of your activities.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Sharing is easier and personal; This is my favourite feature in the announcement. Long have I loathed apple for locking down their devices in the sharing aspect. This is changing now even though it is not where we want yet. You can setup your family on your device\u00a0and this will make sharing instant to the everyone in the family. Making it easier to share your moments with your loved ones.<\/span><\/p>\n

Your phone is smarter\u00a0around you; Your phone will now learn about you and customise itself to you in notifications and even your typing habits. This is something Androids have always had and\u00a0improved in their systems. Also, all your apple devices will seamlessly connect and share data, so you can easily pick up on your MAC where you left off on your phone.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is a shame not all devices can get this update though, only the iPhone 4s, iPhone 5, iPhone 5c, iPhone 5s, iPod touch\u00ae 5th generation, iPad 2, iPad with Retina\u00ae display, iPad Air\u2122, iPad mini\u2122 and iPad mini with Retina display will.<\/span><\/p>\n

Apple has definitely made an effort to make this their best system ever. As for me, until I can run and share anything on my “idevice”, I will be sticking with other open systems like the Android. For the I-lovers, these features should make you I-happier.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
