iOS 8 Thoughts?

[legomaster181]

I saw a thread for Yosemite, but not iOS, so I thought I would make one.

 

I'm particularly excited for changing the iOS keyboard, I thought this is one of those features that Apple would NEVER implement, yet here it is.

 

Also the whole continuity features with Mac and iOS, hope something similar comes to Android in the "Project Hera" thing.

I dunno, the changes arent that interesting or relevant to me

 

I am pretty impressed with Yosemite though

[Rorgash]

dont care at all, what so ever....

only thing the surprised me was support for third party keyboards

 

nothing exciting since the  iphone 4

They showed some interesting things, but I'm not sure if they're something I'll use that much myself. More interested in the next iPhone than iOS8.

What I really look forward to:

 

- Quick reply to any notification (not just text messages)

- 3rd party keyboard support

- Able to receive/create network sms messages and phone calls with an iPad or Mac 

- Better developer support (3rd party widgets in the notification window)

- Extensibility (not default apps, but the ability to do things with 3rd party apps and not with Apple's stock apps only)

- Better developer APIs which enable the user to have a better experience (built-in Shazam in Siri, opened up TouchID to 3rd party apps)

- Better app supports and stuff

 

That's just a little bit of it, but there are lots more to look forward to.

What i really loved about the Keynote was the hole integration/syncing between iOS and OS X. This alone is a reason to me to switch back from Android (HTC One with Cyanogenmod) to iOS. For a non Gaming oriented costumer like me, this is a huge deal. I gain so much time from it.

What do you think of this?

I think the interactive notifications is a great feature. I'm wondering if Android has this? I was actually considering this feature about a year ago - if I had had the programming skills I'd be rich by now.  :lol:

 

Most of the other stuff Android has had for quite some time I believe. But it's great to see they develop and improve the OS.

Family Sharing <- awesome

iCloud Drive <- Won't replace dropbox for collaboraton, but otherwise this is great

iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Connected like never before <- I love that. Of course if you don't have a (Hack)Mac you couldn't care less ...
