Why doesn't the official version of Apple ios 10 work this time?

First of all, it is emphasized that this is a developer-oriented version. If you have a developer account, you can download it in developer.apple.com at present, and you can use DFU to refresh your computer or upgrade your mobile phone OTA.

If you don't have a developer account, there are various ways for people to try, but ordinary users need to pay special attention. This is only the first beta version of iOS 10, and the official version for ordinary users will not be released until autumn. Compared with iOS 9 in the same period last year, the completion degree is very high, but it is not 100%, and fever, power consumption and jamming are more common. Therefore, unless you really want to try in advance, it is not recommended to brush the machine now.

In addition, if you want to experience iOS 10 perfectly, it is recommended to use iPhone 6s and 6s Plus. Because this 3D Touch function runs through the iOS 10 system, it can be found in almost every conceivable place.

On the one hand, Apple's current boot upgrade mechanism is very frustrating, and it will tell users to upgrade the system as soon as possible. Want to experience the best, you need the latest hardware products.

On the other hand, from this WWDC, we can see that Apple's watches, mobile phones, tablets, computers, and Apple TV set-top boxes (mainlanders don't know that only the Year of the Monkey and the Year of the Horse can be used) are more relevant than ever. You bought a MacBook, and you'd better have an Apple Watch if you want to unlock it, and an iPhone if you want to pay quickly on the web. It is best to have a full set of experiences, and these devices should be the latest.

From this point of view, when hardware innovations such as mobile phones and computer tablets are reaching the ceiling, the system will guide users to a greater extent, and Apple, a manufacturer of software and hardware integration, will multiply its strength through combination.

Under its own iOS ecosystem, Apple has added a small ecosystem, such as Didi and public comments in the map, as well as various expression packs in iMessage.

This is another way to attract developers. Under the existing architecture, attaching to it will be easier than developing an App alone, and it will also help Apple's own system applications. On the other hand, it also brings more challenges to development. After all, system applications and third-party apps are not on the same starting line in terms of permissions and experience. To attract users, third-party app developers need to make more efforts.

At present, iOS 10 is still the developer version of beta 1, but the degree of completion is still quite high, and power consumption and fever do exist, but it is much better than last year's iOS 9. I used my main mobile phone for a day, and there was no obvious flashback except for a WeChat call. However, the completion of Apple Watch's watch OS is relatively low, and it is common to get stuck and restart.

All the experiences in this article are based on iPhone 6s. So on the iPad, some details may be different.

1 The change starts from unlocking.

The biggest change in the history of iOS is iOS 7, because the visual change from simulacra to planarization is too great. I vaguely remember all kinds of curses, including myself, after the release of iOS 7 in June, 20 14, and I also found it hard to accept the system full of colorful icons.

This situation is slightly better in iOS 8 and 9, because they have made more internal changes, and today's iOS 10, some entanglements are back.

The first is the unlocking method. Since 2007, the sliding unlocking of iPhone has disappeared. Instead, pick up the phone and automatically light up the screen-press the home button to enable fingerprint unlocking.

This change will take several hours to get used to. In the case of locking the screen, sliding to the right becomes "Today", and sliding to the right can start the camera to take pictures. Compared with sliding unlocking which takes 10 years, the latter is not classic enough, but it can achieve more functions. Classics are giving in to functions, which is the thinking of the iOS 10 function design team, but it is also a habitual obstacle that the old system needs to overcome.

There are more visual changes, such as the separation of "today" and "notice"; The dynamic effect rate of opening an application or folder has changed; You can feel the red corner mark at the moment when the icon is retracted. If there are unread messages in QQ and other applications, the corner sign will be particularly conspicuous; Even the keyboard sound of typing is duller than before.

All these remind you that now, you have used the iOS 10 system.

Two ubiquitous cards

Since Jonathan Ive took over iOS, the system has gradually become colorful and simplified, and rounded corners and arcs are used more in the system.

In iOS 10, you can see rounded rectangular cards everywhere. They are widget plug-ins in the Today view of iOS 10, and they are also control centers, and there are also dialog boxes at the top of various notifications.

They are still frosted glass effects that change with the background color, but the outer layer has a rounded rectangle, which will change with the height of the dialog box.

This dialog box can improve the recognition of notifications or plug-ins. In "Today", the default is folded, which is a bit concise. On the other hand, a few pixels must be left between the dialog boxes with rounded corners, which leads to a waste of space and the plug-ins of third-party apps have to be re-adapted.

The control center has more functions than before, but Apple officials seem to attach too much importance to night shift and put it in a separate article, while music and sound source control are placed on the second screen of the control center. I think this design is a failure. It is enough to put an icon at the bottom as before, not to mention it can be automatically turned on and off. Now this big article wastes the space of the control center.

Card design also has advantages, such as coming to WeChat, the drop-down dialog box is bigger than before, and more information can be replied.

2 3D touch becomes a necessity

The 3D Touch touch screen is a new feature on the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus released last September. Eight months after the release of this mobile phone, Apple finally began to accelerate the guidance of the App to support this function.

On iOS 10, there are 3D touch figures everywhere, such as re-pressing the message reply in the notification bar; Press X again to clear all notifications (previously a group of notifications was clicked by X); Every third-party App re-press has at least one sharing function, which can share its app store homepage with friends. Even the flashlight icon can be re-pressed with three brightness options.

Apple promotes its 3D Touch in this way. First, bring your own App to guide your habits. Then, cultivate the habit of well-known apps (such as Weibo, friends circle, just click on the picture to avoid opening it). I believe it will be used more and more.

A person I know switched from iPhone 6s to Arthur some time ago, just to bring a small screen. In the iOS 9 era, if you don't mind the small screen, this retrogressive behavior is not difficult, but after iOS 10, it is difficult to get used to it without 3D Touch. It is difficult to switch from a machine with 3D Touch to a machine without 3D Touch.

3 application update

Voice control function on iPhone4S

Siri's icon has changed, from microphone to purple sound wave, and images and functions are unified on four platforms.

Its inherent has also changed. When the iPhone 4s appeared five years ago, Siri was just a voice assistant. Later, due to the closedness of iOS and Apple's confidentiality principle (not reading and analyzing user data), its function was lost to google Now and even Microsoft Xiao Na.

Apple will not be satisfied with this. At the press conference on Monday, Apple announced that it would open Siri to the outside world and strengthen the development of artificial intelligence to compete with service rivals such as Amazon, Google and Microsoft. When third-party applications are updated, their functions will be displayed. For example, you can order Siri to "send a WeChat to XXX".

I'm not sure what Siri will become after it is opened, because of the closedness of the iOS system, but it is certain that it will be open to third parties if it is to be improved, but Apple needs to control the scale of this openness, which is better under its own control system. I hope it won't become the current third-party input method.

map

Also open to the outside world are Apple Maps and iMessage.

In the past, the concept of map was very simple. I want to find food nearby, enter a name and find out how to get there. Apple placed buttons such as nearby food under the iOS 9 search bar, but it is conceivable that the usage rate is very low.

Maps in iOS 10 are more active. Put these buttons under the map search bar. People like me who are not familiar with San Francisco and go out looking for food and don't even know the name of the restaurant will use it more frequently.

Apple tried to turn the map into a platform. At present, the navigation map can not be downloaded separately, but it can be used online. It is very effective to re-plan the route to avoid congestion in the actual measurement. Another point is the life service platform, and the domestic cooperation with it is public comment. Therefore, it is no longer necessary to enter the public comment App alone, and directly evaluate and find food according to the cuisine. There is also a taxi platform, and China will access Didi.

iMessage

Another platform I want to make is iMessage, which will be amazing when used up. This is no longer the impression people had on short messages in the past.

In addition to not grabbing red envelopes and friends, I didn't lose to WeChat in chat. In addition to chatting well, you also have the opportunity to play with emoji expressions, use various font pop-up effects, communicate with people in a cool background, as well as background effects with BGM and classic functions of digital touch on Apple Watch.

You can send a "party", and you can also add the dazzling background of discos and the background sound of each beat to these letters, which is extremely vivid.

Apple left an interface for developers here. Generally speaking, anything you can think of can be sent to one or more friends. At present, there are self-made expressions, Apple Music music, handwritten fonts and small icons, which have great room for expansion in the future.

photo album

Here, Apple has added a "memory" function, imitating the functions before htc or google photos, intelligently sorting photos and matching different music. It's just that this function seems to be still in its infancy. I don't know why it thinks that burning paper in Tomb-Sweeping Day this year has something to do with last year's box lunch, the ID card of the year before last, and the photos of two dogs, accompanied by cheerful music.

A targeted improvement of the photo album is that you can edit live photos. In the past, this special format became an ordinary jpg after editing, but now it won't.

Family system

Apple took out its own smart home system homekit and put it into an application. The internal interface is beautiful, all homekit hardware can be controlled here, or it can be controlled separately in the control center. However, due to the limited conditions, I can't say now, and I will write this piece separately later.

4 Some subdivided function points

The application that comes with the system can be uninstalled: in fact, this should be called "hiding". They have not been deleted from the system, just disappeared. Everyone will put the useless and non-uninstallable apps such as "tips", "videos" and "stock market" in the iOS system in a folder, and now these guys can finally disappear.

Apple is in line with public opinion in this matter. They have not been deleted. Even if all of them were deleted, these dozens of applications did not exceed 150MB, but the screen was quiet. If you still want it, you can download it from the app store.

Moreover, applications such as Safari browser and app store cannot be hidden. Because they are necessary for the core experience of iOS.

In addition to its own application "delete", there are some very fine functions, such as turning the clock interface black, adding a smart alarm clock to analyze bedtime sleep; Contact interface function buttons are simpler and clearer; The interface of Apple Music is simplified, and lyrics are added (not moving, only words). As for the legendary spam phone function, although someone called me, it seems that I have never encountered spam phone, so there is no result for the time being. Maybe Tencent's database is not connected yet. ...
