As the final version of iOS 10 approaches. 3 all the attention of users is focused on the largest update of iOS 11. Apple will pre-announce in June at the WWDC 2017 conference, after which it will release beta versions for developers, and then for participants of the open testing program.
In iOS 11 is not expected to global change the appearance of the operating system, as it was with the 7th version. However, changes in appearance will still be. It is worth noting that the insides about Apple software appear much less often compared to hardware innovations. The matter is that software products are developed inside the company, and release of mobile devices Apple transfers on outsourcing.
Recently, Apple has shown a marked interest in augmented reality. If this technology will be used in the iPhone 8, it will also become part of iOS 11. According to reports, the "anniversary" flagship will receive an improved front camera and an infrared module for capturing three-dimensional space. Thus, the Camera application in iOS 11 will be able to combine information about the 3D space with two-dimensional images taken with the front camera, and also use this data to recognize the face and the iris and create a 3D-selfi.
Also in the system update is expected a dark theme of design, which is well combined with rumors about the transition of the iPhone 8 to OLED-displays. It was expected that in iOS 10. 3 will be a special theatrical mode, but in the preliminary versions it was not. Perhaps it will also be included in the number of innovations iOS 11.
Many users hope that Apple will add to the OS new features specifically for tablets, in particular for the iPad Pro. According to rumors, the manufacturer plans to release a "smart" column based on Siri, so that it will not do without improvements in the voice assistant. While Siri is somewhat behind in functionality from other assistants.
Two years after the launch of the iPhone with 3D Touch, Apple will significantly expand the capabilities of one of the most interesting, but unclaimed features of its smartphones. Almost everywhere you can strongly push and get a drop-down box in which you will be asked several "shortcuts".
Apple is improving applications for listening to music, managing the set-top box, messages and calls in FaceTime. It is possible that the iPhone will have a "picture in picture" mode.
Traditionally, new versions of iOS have problems with performance and autonomy. If on new devices the time of life and speed does not change in any way, older devices can work more slowly and less. This is a fee for new features, but we hope that Apple will be able to avoid this in iOS 11.
