Apple i. OS 1. 0 Review & Rating. Apple i. OS 1. 0 is not just a new version of the operating system that powers i. Phone and i. Pads. True, i. OS now has a sleeker visual design, interactive notifications, and a far more functional widget screen. But the huge additions to the Messages app overshadow most of the other features, making this more than just another iteration of the operation system. This stalwart communication app now does more than just send text messages: It's an ecosystem in its own right, with stickers, animations, and third- party app integrations, challenging the likes of Facebook Messenger and Whats. App. It's a game- changer that easily outclasses what's available from the competition. Its first major update, i. OS 1. 0. 1, adds a new Portrait mode for the dual- camera i. Phone 7 Plus, bringing stunning depth- of- field effects to smartphone photos. For all of this, i. OS 1. 0 is an Editors' Choice for mobile operating systems. When and Where. As with most Apple updates, i. OS 1. 0 (including, i. OS 1. 0. 1, the version reviewed here) is supported by several generations of devices.

La casa di Cupertino ha annunciato che il nuovo campus da circa 708.000 metri quadri sarà pronto per l. Every i. Phone model from the i. Phone 5 to the i. Phone 7 and 7 Plus can run i. OS 1. 0. All i. Pad Pros, i. Pad Air and Air 2 models, 4th- generation i. Pads, and i. Pad minis 2 to 4 can also run the new operating system. For this review, I tested i. OS 1. 0. 1 on both an i. Phone 6 and an i. Phone 7 Plus. The deep level of control Apple maintains over its hardware and software means that most people will install this update. The same can't be said of Android. Even if you're using a current Android device, you may not get to update it to Android 7. Nougat for months, if ever. To get i. OS 1. 0, you have only to wait until your phone informs you that it's ready to update. If you can't wait, just open the Settings app, tap General, and then tap Software Update. Be sure to back up your phone and keep an AC adapter handy. For more detailed instructions, you can read How to Get i. OS 1. 0. Once the update is installed, take some time to get to know your new OS. Apple has a habit of peppering updates with secret features that often go unnoticed.

Phone reboots, you'll immediately notice some differences in i. OS, if you're upgrading from i. OS 9. Fonts, for example, are a little larger, bolder, and more readable than in previous versions. From the Lock Screen, you now swipe left to open the camera app, which is much easier than the bottom- corner swipe- up from previous versions. Swipe right and a new page of widgets is revealed. If you're only familiar with Android, know that widgets on i. OS are very different. Instead of existing as free- floating windows on the desktop as they do on Google- powered devices, widgets in i. OS are small cards that live in a customizable, vertically oriented rail. Their function is mostly the same: i. OS widgets are shortcuts to app functionality, like placing calls, looking at the latest headlines, or seeing if it will rain today. OS 1. 0 also brings a visual redesign to widgets, making them into large, individual cards with rounded corners. It's a much improved experience. You can choose and arrange the widgets on this screen from an Edit button at the bottom, but that's it as far as customization goes. The size, appearance, and function of widgets are determined by the developer and Apple's guidelines. You must also download the core app if you want the widget; these are not standalone features. The i. OS 1. 0 widget page can be found by swiping right from the main page or the notification panel; it's always within easy reach. If you use Touch ID to open your phone with a thumb or fingerprint, you'll notice another tweak. Simply resting your digit over the scanner no longer works. You must also click down on the Home button to get access. Having laid hands on the i. Phone 7, I can say that this change is because the new phones no longer have physical Home buttons and instead rely on the visceral boing of the Taptic Engine. Though I am glad to see the best feature from the Apple Watch (a thing I will never use) finally come to i. Phone (a thing I use every day), it's a chore to adapt your muscle memory. Thankfully, you can change this from the Settings app. Open it, select General, then Accessibility, and then Home Button to access this option. Swipe up from the bottom and you see the enlarged and refined Control Center. You can use it to adjust the brightness and quickly toggle on and off such features as Airplane Mode and Wi- Fi. There are also fast links to Flashlight mode, the Timer app, and the camera, all of which are especially handy when the phone is still locked. The big change is that you can no longer control songs from here. Instead, you swipe right to reveal a second card devoted solely to media control. The redesign certainly unclutters the Control Center, but I was hoping for more cards and more control. I should note that more cards may be available if you have smart devices in your home; I do not. In Android Nougat and in Windows 1. Mobile, for instance, you can choose which shortcuts appear in the equivalent quick- action menu. The shortcuts are also more useful on Android, letting you browse and select from available Wi- Fi networks. I would love to see Apple adopt this kind of functionality. Notifications also have the new i. OS 1. 0 look, as individual cards with larger fonts that make them stand out better. If you're using a newer phone (that is, the i. Phone 6, 6s and newer), you can use 3. D Touch to force- press notifications and get more options. This is a great feature, and a smart use of the underutilized 3. D Touch. Unfortunately, those on older phones can only swipe left to dismiss or view the notification. In Nougat and Windows 1. Mobile, notifications are bundled together by the app that generated them. They can be expanded with a gesture or dismissed en masse. Apple instead groups the notifications by time of arrival, letting you dismiss them one day at a time. I prefer Android's method, and I especially like that Android doesn't require special hardware to make the most of its notifications. Deliver the Message. The most dramatic change in i. OS 1. 0 is in the Messages app. This is the traditional home of SMS messages sent via Apple's exclusive i. Message service. For those unaware, i. Message sends messages between Apple devices, uses end- to- end encryption, and does all this over your data connection. This app has long been able to send images, videos, and short audio recordings, but in i. OS 1. 0 it can do much more. It also includes a new marketplace for add- on apps and stickers, making it an ecosystem in its own right. Its capabilities have become so extended that, were it not preinstalled on i. Phones, I would be reviewing it separately. In short, it's massive. Some of the interactive Message features from the Apple Watch also appear in i. OS 1. 0 in the form of Digital Touch. With this, you can use gestures to send animations by, for example, holding two fingers to send a beating heart or tapping to create colorful bursts of light. I don't really care for their look; they appear as vague, wispy animations inside black squares. I also don't like that they are sent as soon as you trigger them. Every other new Messages feature requires that you tap the Send button first, giving you a chance to correct mistakes. This is all the more frustrating because Digital Touch effects gestures are difficult to make reliably. Case in point: I accidentally sent a large, pink, . This feature could destroy marriages. From the Digital Touch menu, you can also write messages with your fingertip that appear as animations on the recipient's phone. It's the best- executed Digital Touch feature, and I especially like that the message animations move at the same speed at which you drew them. You can even snap a video or still picture and doodle all over it. It works well for still photos, but the video option needs work. Instead of drawing over a completed video, you draw as the video records. It's counterintuitive, and I found in my testing that the final product jiggled like I had been poking my camera while I shot. Because I had been. You can still just tap Send on a message, or you can make an impact or a whisper, using variably sized bubbles that bounce and swell. Custom animations, like balloons, fireworks, and lasers, can be triggered to fill the entire screen. This is similar to Facebook's response system. A change in 1. 0. I haven't been able to make it work on my i. Phone 6. Invisible Ink hides an image until the recipient swipes it away, making for a big reveal. This last effect is wonderfully animated, as the silvery digital ink responds to your pokes and prods. Tapback lets you respond with one of six canned responses, such as a thumbs- up. Another important change is how you take photos within the app and attach them to messages. You can now quickly shoot and add photos from within the Messages app, which lets you fire off a barrage of selfies in seconds. Users can also mark up photos with text or draw directly on photos. It's a little like Snapchat, but with a distinctively Apple look. My favorite tool lets you enlarge a section of a photo, drawing the recipient's attention to one specific area without cropping the image. Digital Touch and message delivery effects are big, tightly integrated changes to the i. OS 1. 0 Messages app, but there are bigger ones. Messages is now a platform for all kinds of third- party content. A new store and interface let you add stickers to spice up your messages, and app integrations mean you can do more without having to jump back and forth between apps. These are two distinct features, but they share the same space, which can be confusing. The cramped environs of the app don't do it any favors. But altogether, it's a big and positive change for Apple. I'll talk about stickers first, because they are the more straightforward of the two features.
