The development history of Apple's mobile phone IOS system

IOS system was released in June 5438 +2007 10, formerly known as "iPhone OS".

Today, iOS has grown to 8 generations.

I will sort out the history of 1-7 generations as follows:

iOS 1

With the appearance of the first generation iPhone, the iOS 1 system came into being. From then on, all the systems in the past dynasties have the figure of 1 generation system, especially the rounded square application icon and the four major applications at the bottom of the fixed interface are classics, which have become the imitation objects of many software manufacturers.

Except the home screen, most of the interface and design elements in iOS 1.0 have been used up to now, including virtual keyboard, call interface, Google Maps, mobile Safari and "visual voice mail".

iOS 2

If iOS 1 pioneered the mobile experience, then iOS 2 set a good example for mobile app stores and third-party application extensions.

A year after the iPhone was released, Apple introduced the second version of the iOS system.

IOS 2 looks similar to the previous version, but adds the cloud-based email and synchronization service MobileMe and support for Microsoft Exchange accounts.

Of course, the emergence of App Store is the most revolutionary innovation.

Its appearance has opened the era when iOS and the whole mobile application rely on software to succeed.

iOS 3

After a year of polishing, Apple released iOS 3 to match the released iPhone 3GS.

IOS 3 was launched in June 2009, which filled many gaps in the previous version of OS, such as keyboard landscape mode, push notification of new emails and text messages, digital magazines, and the original voice control function, which can help users find/play music and call contacts.

Subsequently, in April of 20 10, Apple released iOS 3.2.

IOS 3.2 is an epoch-making evolution, because it is the first mobile system optimized for "big screen" iPad tablet.

Of course, the look and experience of iOS on the iPad is similar to that of iPhone, but the classic "pinch and release" gesture operation has been better played on the big screen iPad.

iOS 4

IOS 4 further refines the design elements of icons.

IOS 4 arrived on June 20 10. Jobs and his design team designed complex lighting effects for the icons on the interface to make the interface look more beautiful.

The game center in iOS 4 is the first example we have seen that has changed a lot.

Its interface is rich in colors, such as green, burgundy, yellow and so on. The top and bottom are all solid wood designs.

IOS 4 also brings new multitasking features.

Double-click the Home button, and the user will see a list of commonly used applications at the bottom of the screen.

With it, users can quickly switch between applications without turning pages.

Apple has also added a folder function to iOS 4, where users can store related application content in a folder and use a brand-new linen background.

iOS 5

IOS 5 brings a very important new function to Apple users: Siri.

Although the initial function is limited, this is the first time Apple has tried to let users use their iOS devices in different ways.

The design of simulacra has reached the extreme in iOS 5. Apple's software interface imitates many real-world textures, such as "memo" on yellow paper background and "reminder" application of linen texture.

Apple integrated Twitter, the first non-Apple application in iOS 5, and made Siri a personal assistant service in iOS.

iOS 6

Cloud-based mail, calendar and synchronization between OS X and iOS devices are the main functions of iOS 6.

It combines the design inspiration and elements of Apple's desktop operating system.

In this version of the system, the simulation design is still improved, and the fragment animation effect when the virtual certificate is deleted by the new application Pas * * * ook becomes a feature.

In addition, the sliders for volume and playback progress in iOS 6 are changed to metal texture style, and the reflective lines on them will change with the position of iPhone.

iOS 7

The color and style of iOS 7 have changed a lot, giving people a brand-new impression.

The gradient of various colors replaced the single tone style of light blue or gray background in iOS 6 era.

In addition, animation effects have become the best tool for Apple designers to enhance the user experience.

For example, the rubber band function in the iOS system, that is, the rebound effect when the big user interface reaches the edge, and the editing mode after long pressing the App icon, all icons will shake.

In terms of functions, in order to make the functions on iOS more orderly, Apple added a control center and a notification center for iOS 7, improved multiplexing, photo programs, Safari and Siri, and launched a new airdrop sharing function and iTunes Radio music streaming service.

Almost every "old" or "new" application incorporates Apple's new aesthetic design.

IOS 8

Innovative introduction of Apple Pay and fingerprint identification.

Since then, mobile payment has become more secure and reliable than before.

The camera in iOS 8 has also added a time-lapse photography mode to improve the interactive experience.

At the same time, ios8 is seamlessly connected with other Apple devices, and the handoff function connects different devices with the same ID.
