As we expected, we already have a new version of the mobile operating system of Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC),: iOS 11, the next big update what awaits our iPad and iPhone it has just been presented in the WWDC keynote, and we are going to detail all the news that the apple company will discover us.
Siri keeps getting better
Crab It has also had its moment of prominence on stage, with a special emphasis on the improvements that have been made to sound more natural, and more importantly, to take over even more functions, including performing from translator for us, with support for English, Chinese, French, German, Italian and Spanish.
Machine learning: the great protagonist
Of course, Siri will come with new advances to learn more and faster about our habits and make more accurate predictions each time. The advances in artificial intelligence and machine learningIn any case, they are not all for Siri, if they are going to be implemented even in our auto-corrector, which can, for example, suggest words based on the articles we have read recently. It will even allow us to introduce a do not disturb mode that will be activated automatically when we are driving.
Improvements for photos from different points of view
Although it does not attract too much attention, a novelty that will bring us iOS 11 and that we are sure that we are going to thank everyone very much, they are new formats for video and photos (HEVC and HEIF, respectively) that will allow us to occupy less space. This modest but interesting upgrade will be accompanied by a few new features in the photo app, to automatically group by subject, for example, or to edit live photos. The stars in this section are undoubtedly the improvements that have been made to improve the quality of the images we capture.
The expected payments between users
After announcing that synchronization has been improved between devices, in such a way that if we delete a message on our iPhone or iPad, for example, it will no longer appear on our Macs (which actually happened at the beginning of the event), they went on to confirm one of the news that they had discovered us and leaks, which is none other than the introduction of payments between users through Apple Pay with iMesagges.
The App Store is renewed
One of the topics they have focused on the most is the App StoreWhich seems pretty logical considering this is a developer event after all, and the great news is that it's going to be completely redesigned. Among the changes to be introduced are separate tabs for apps and games, as well as giving developers the opportunity to give direct access to in-app purchases, but more generally, what stands out the most is perhaps a certain family resemblance with Apple News, thanks in large part to the editing work that will make recommendations, add gameplay videos, etc.
Augmented reality takes a step forward
If any topic has been able to compete tonight with the advances in artificial intelligence that iOS 11 will leave us, perhaps it would be the augmented reality, something that entered most of the pools, because since Cupertino they have expressed their interest in this field many times. We have had the opportunity to observe different demonstrations with all kinds of games (not only Pokémon GO, but also some of the great classics, such as LEGO) and the truth is that the images are promising. We will have to wait to see it in operation on our devices to be able to judge it for ourselves, in any case.
What's new in iOS 11 for iPad: drag and drop between apps
Those of Cupertino reserved for the end what most interested us, which are the novelties of iOS 11 with which the capacity of the new iPad Pro As a work tool, something we have been talking about a lot lately, and although finally there will be no mouse support (something that many asked for), there has been an improvement for multitasking, small but very relevant: the capacity from drag and drop content from one app to another.
Application Bar
Another improvement that iPad users will appreciate and that will be very useful from a multitasking point of view is a new application bar, which we can fill with all the ones we may need more frequently (we do not have a figure but it seems that it admits a fairly high number of them) and then place the bar in the area of the screen that is most comfortable for us to go from one to another quickly, opening them directly on the split screen. This improvement has taken us completely by surprise and, we will have to see how it works, but it sounds really good.
Files
We return to the terrain of what was planned with another novelty that we actually knew a few hours ago and that is none other than the new app of Apple files, which will finally allow us to access and manage our files on our tablet directly. We still have a lot to discover about its operation and what it will give of itself as file explorer and manager, but for now we can say that it will support all major cloud storage services (dropbox drive...).
More functions for Apple Pencil
Another prediction that has come true: the Apple Pencil not only has it reduced its latency, as we saw when talking about the new iPad Pro, but they have also added new functionsso it can now be used in virtually any note-taking application. And of course, linking to everything we've seen you do Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), to make iOS 11 more intelligent, there is a handwriting recognition system, which will allow us to search all our notes.
