Apple presented on Monday at the opening of the WWDC developer conference a new version of the operating system for the iPhone and iPad - iOS 12. In the fall, it will be free to install on all the same devices that can run iOS 11. Let's figure out what's new in iOS 12.
Performance
According to Apple Senior Vice President Craig Federighi, who oversees software development, the company made a decision in iOS 12 primarily to focus on improving performance. System requirements have not changed - iOS 12 will be available on the same devices as iOS 11, that is, smartphones starting with the iPhone 5s and tablets starting with the iPad Air and iPad mini 2, as well as the 6th generation iPod Touch.
But that's not all. Apple claims that it has deeply optimized the system: so much so that launching applications on the old iPhone 6 Plus will be 40% faster, calling the keyboard will take 50% less time, and cameras - 70%. At the same time, the increase in performance under load can approach a twofold.
All this was achieved, among other things, thanks to the optimization of the control of the processor frequency - it maximizes the performance at the moment when it is most needed, for example, at the moment of launching an application or flipping a "heavy" web page.
"Digital Health"
Of the custom features that will be introduced in iOS 12, the biggest impact on the life of the owner of an i-device may be the new possibilities to manage the Do Not Disturb mode and notifications, as well as monitor and even limit the time that you (and your children - if they have also iPhone or iPad with "Family Sharing" configured) in certain applications.
Do not disturb mode in iOS 12 can be turned on not only on a schedule, but also for a certain period of time, for example, for an hour. In addition, it will be possible to program it so that it turns off at a specific time or place. Finally, a special "night" version of this mode (see the illustration above) will lower the display brightness to the minimum - so as not to blind your eyes in the dark, and hide all notifications until the morning.
Notifications will be grouped by application, as is done in the latest Android versions, and with one swipe you can hide, for example, everything sent by Twitter or Instagram. Users of devices with iOS 12 will have more control over notifications - for example, it will be possible to make "push notifications" from some applications come silently and appear only in the "Notification Center", but not on the lock screen.
Earlier this year, some of Apple's major shareholders. Some recent studies. In response to a letter from investors, Apple promised to add more effective parental control tools to iOS.
And now, they add: the Screen Time function will allow the user not only to see how much time he spent in each application and how many times per hour, on average, accesses a smartphone or tablet, but also to set a limit on the use of various applications for himself or his children, whose accounts have been added. in Family Sharing.
If owners of iOS devices know how they use their devices, they can limit the time they can use a specific application, website, or category of applications. When the limit expires, the iPhone will show a screen with a notification that the time is up. Of course, it will be possible to "ask" for more time - the system will not completely block the application, but later it will persistently remind the user of his original intention to restrict the use of the gadget.
Parents will be able to open a report on the child's activity on his device from their smartphone or tablet, see what applications he spends time in, and set restrictions, including on certain categories, for example, on games:
It will also be possible to set the hours when the child cannot use the device at all or has access to only some applications - for example, "Phone" or iBooks.
Group video chat and Memoji
Another block of updates in iOS 12 concerns communication services FaceTime and iMessage. In the first, a group video chat will appear, and it supports up to 32 interlocutors at the same time. That is, the function will compete not only, but also Skype with its limit of 25 people.
Both FaceTime and iMessage can be transformed using virtual "live" animoji masks that copy the user's facial expressions (iPhone X only). Fans of reincarnation will have access to four new characters - a ghost, a koala, a tiger cub and a tyrannosaurus. All animoji in iOS 12 will be able to recognize when the user shows their tongue and copy their grimace.
Moreover, it will be possible to create a personal avatar, Memoji, using dozens of face options, skin colors, accessories, etc. A similar function. However, the Korean "selfimoji", although they are formed with the help of the front camera, are much less flexible. And Apple has four available degrees of freckle to choose from, not to mention about fifty options for only women's hairstyles.
Siri
In iOS 12, Apple will open the door wider for app developers to access their voice assistant. Now they will be able to independently connect certain functions of their programs to Siri through Shortcuts, and users can access them using voice commands. For example, the Tile Bluetooth dongle app will be able to respond to the phrase "where are my keys?"
The new Shortcuts app will allow iOS 12 i-device owners to create their own complex functions and assign them simple voice commands. In the example demonstrated at the presentation, an Apple employee set up a "macro" in Shortcuts, which, using the voice command "Going home", reports the travel time taking into account traffic jams, sends a message about the arrival time to home, sets the "smart" thermostat at home to a comfortable temperature, and then turns on your favorite radio on your iPhone.
Augmented reality
IOS 12 expands the capabilities of iOS AR app developers as Apple unveiled a second version of ARKit. Its main feature, in addition to more accurate surface recognition, is the multi-user mode, in which several users of i-devices, being nearby, can interact with the same set of virtual objects:
Persistent objects will change the way people interact with AR applications: users will be able to leave virtual objects in the real world and then return to them. For example, you can leave a half-assembled puzzle on the table, and all its parts will remain in the same places. Or you can work on an art project for several weeks without starting over every time.
ARKit 2 also extends support for image recognition and tracking. This allows you to recognize 3D objects, such as toys and sculptures, and automatically superimpose shadows and highlights from real objects on augmented reality objects.
In addition, Apple has agreed with a dozen partner companies to develop a single format for AR objects - USDZ. Such files can, for example, be integrated into the mobile version of the site - and the user will be able to "try on" a potential purchase by placing a virtual copy of it in his room:
Apple also announced the Measure app for iOS, a kind of virtual ruler that uses augmented reality to quickly estimate the size of real objects. Such applications are already in the App Store, but now they will have a serious competitor.
Other updates
In the built-in Photos app, Apple is trying to catch up with a similar cross-platform product from Google. As in Google Photos, a "for you" section with automatically processed pictures, photo memories ("I remember what you did a year ago") and automatically glued videos will appear in the standard iPhone gallery.
The book app with a built-in store in iOS 12 will be renamed from iBooks to Apple Books and radically redesigned in the spirit of the new App Store and Apple Music:
The CarPlay car interface will finally start supporting third-party navigation apps, and their interface will be displayed directly on the car's multimedia system screen. Finally, the Voice Recorder app will be available on the iPad, now using iCloud. Its design, including in a smartphone version, will be completely new.
When iOS 12 comes out
The iOS 12 public beta will be available for Apple mobile devices in June, and the developer version is available today. The new OS is compatible with Phone 5s or later, all iPad Air and iPad Pro models, iPad 6th generation, iPad 5th generation, iPad mini 2 or later, and iPod touch 6th generation.
Happy owners of the popular Apple iPhone smartphone from the first minutes of their acquaintance note a well-thought-out and convenient control system, settings for launching custom functions. Most of them are implemented in the usual way for all such devices, since the huge variety of smartphones requires some kind of standardization.

The hidden features of the iPhone are not some kind of smartphone secrets. Some of them are implemented in such a way that you can use them without going into the settings, but by performing simple actions right along the way. These are, in fact, life hacks. Knowing these non-obvious, but very useful facts helps to save time on charging the device, customize the user interface in an optimal way, and quickly resolve many issues that arise when using the iPhone.
Each iOS update delights users with new smartphone featuresCharging acceleration
The iPhone constantly performs various activities in the background - it performs network and cellular operations that require a drain on the battery. H To shorten the charging time, turn on "Airplane mode" after connecting the power cord.
"Airplane mode" function turns off cellular communication in the smartphone This turns off most background processes, reduces power consumption, which helps to speed up the charging of the device. A hidden feature of the iPhone, such as disabling the location of the smartphone, which can be done in the privacy settings, will also help reduce battery consumption.
Improving Touch ID performance
The iPhone identification system identifies the owner by fingerprint. In order to make the device more reliable, it is recommended to go to the Touch ID menu and create several new fingerprints, each time with the same finger.
Detailed information about fingerprints will allow you to recognize the owner faster Thanks to this hidden function of the iPhone, the device receives more complete information about the configuration of the papillary lines on the finger, which greatly facilitates and speeds up scanning.
Quick cancel when printing text
If, while typing or editing the text of an SMS or e-mail, any errors occurred, it became necessary to change or correct letters, words, add punctuation marks, etc., just shake the device. The function will open an on-screen cancellation request that should be used.

Advanced calculator capabilities
The iPhone calculator works in a simple, simple way by default. If during operation it is turned to a horizontal position (put not “on its back”, but “on its side”), then a calculator window with a more complex mode for engineering calculations will open.
The iPhone engineering calculator is capable of performing fairly complex calculations using circle functions, logarithms, etc. If the device does not rotate the picture automatically, you need to go to the Control Center and disable the Orientation Lock there.
Locking camera focus settings
By default, the iPhone has automatic exposure and focus. In some cases, they are not needed, and sometimes the settings are reset due to the operator moving to another place.

For the keyboard in iOS to have perfect proportions, the developers had to hide some letters. In the same way, you can find other symbols hidden by Apple engineers. For example, different types of quotation marks.
Reducing the volume of Internet traffic
To save Internet traffic, iOS has such a convenient hidden iPhone function as the ability to disconnect the connection for individual applications. You can leave only one of them connected to the network, or allow access to all. In the settings there is an item "Cellular", in which there is a list of applications with a switch that allows or denies the network connection.
As soon as the iPhone leaves the Wi-Fi coverage area, the applications immediately switch to cellular If you carefully consider the available programs and disconnect from the connection those that are not important or are not used at all, you can significantly reduce the amount of data transferred.
Email Drafts
In the mail attachment, there is an icon in the lower right corner - a square piece of paper with a pencil.
