The opening of the WWDC Keynote could have some disappointed . Apple did not in fact unveiled new material . Yet we expect that it would update the Mac Mini which is still not spent on Haswell processors. In defense of the firm, we must admit that this is a conference dedicated to developers. It is altogether logical that ads have focused on operating systems.
A little too much maybe. Knowing multiple media relays and knowing that most of the audience was composed of laymen , Apple probably could go a bit faster on the news specifically related to developers, including Swift , the new programming language. If after the first returns connoisseurs language is promising, it still has puzzled many of the fans of the apple , which resulted in a final half-hour conference daunting enough for most people .
Move and so back to one of the two major sections of this Keynote . 8 iOS We proposed Monday night hot a summary of the main novelties of the eighth iteration of iOS , back over in a little more detail today with its 10 new matter . If iOS 7 gave a real sense of renewal with its completely revised design , iOS 8 is probably less flashy , but not necessarily uninteresting.

Table 8 Compatibility with iOS
Before all things, and to lay the foundation , we have compiled a small compatibility table of the new OS based on your iDevice. Note that the iPhone 4 is conspicuously absent , which suggests that the landscape will disappear when the iPhone 6 will be launched , almost all tablets apple is however consistent , as can be seen below below .
Fewer keystrokes over keyboard
After 7 editions without real change, it was high time Apple should review the operation of the keyboard. iOS 8 now includes a new feature called QuickType . It is based on Android and offers suggestions for the following word (not being hit as Android) . Refinement compared to the competition , the words selected are based on the lexical field or based on previous conversations with the caller .
Noti -function
This is recurring, the notification center has also been revised with iOS 8. The whole idea is to provide more interaction directly in the center of notifications and especially in the notifications itself. Result: it is possible to like a Facebook or publication to respond to a SMS directly from the notification. Also note the arrival of third-party applications Widget in the center .
SnapiMessage
Message part has also been extensively revised . Again, it is more ergonomic optimizations novelties itself. It will now be easier to send pictures or audio messages since its correspondents can do directly from the messages application via a circular menu that fans know well.
Search -Find
Spotlight also takes his ease . Once limited to the data locally on the iPhone, the search function will now be able to go poke around . It may well find content on the different store and on the web. Opportunities that can also be found on Mac OS X " Yosemite ".
Photo Photo Photo
The photo application has been redesigned with more possibilities of image editing . But also and above all a better interaction between different devices. Going even further than photostream launched with iOS 6 , all images will be directly shared on all your devices , it will be the same for changes .

iHouse
Rumor had spoken , Apple did: home automation is indeed at the center of discussions of the firm, Homekit is proof . The idea is to provide developers and other manufacturers in the world of automation a unified protocol to facilitate the management of multiple automation applications. Apple has not been very clear about the existence of a separate application to control everything from one place and that would emerge thereafter. Anyway , this may work in concert with Siri.
Family affairs
Apple has often been singled out for stories in app purchases made by children with little scruple for the portfolio of their parents. Since , Cupertino did everything to strengthen security and to ensure that when a purchase is made, it is made by the account owner . iOS 8 marks a new stage in the management with the arrival of Family Sharing.
Siri hands-free
Siri gets even better with iOS . 8 The biggest new feature is the integration of Shazam Siri. The voice assistant will therefore recognize what music you listen to, and of course offer to purchase on the iTunes Store. The second main novelty is the possibility to activate Siri without touching the phone , by simply saying " Hey Siri ". There are also several technical improvements in speech recognition in particular .
Talk to my Mac
This applies to both iOS and Mac OS X. 8 Apple has ensured that its two operating systems communicate better with each other. This is particularly the case with AirDrop , which now operates between Mac and iPhone, a handy solution to quickly and easily send a file on his computer.
As expected, iOS 8 includes a new application specifically dedicated to health: Health. A little image HomeKit , the idea is to centralize all connected objects related to health and fitness , it can aggregate data from third party applications , such as Nike Fuel, but also applications clinical proper form . Finally, Health will somehow a diary digital health .
These data may be used by your doctor in addition to a real exam . At the moment, it only affects a very small number of doctors , only a few U.S. clinics are partners now. The thing, if adopted massively could radically change the patient-physician relationship . One Apple a day keeps the doctor away .
