Dezvaluirile legate de iOS 7 continua astazi, cei de la Bloomberg oferind cateva detalii interesante despre ceea ce planuieste sa ne ofere nou Jony Ive. In afara modificarilor interfatei sistemului de operare, Jony Ive planuieste sa ne ofere noi aplicatii Mail si Calendar, doua dintre cele mai importante aplicatii native ale sistemului de operare iOS. Ive a inlaturat pana acum elementele skeumorfice ale iOS-ului si le-a inlocuit cu elemente grafice care ar trebui sa fie mult mai potrivite unui asemenea sistem de operare.
Ive, 46, has begun revamping iPhone and iPad applications, shunning realistic images, such as wood bookshelves for the Newsstand feature, and he’s exploring more dramatic changes to the e-mail and calendar tools, said the people, who asked not to be identified because the plans are private. Ive is also methodically reviewing new designs, seeking to avoid a repeat of last year’s release of map tools that were widely panned, and he’s encouraging collaboration between the software and hardware divisions, which operated in silos under co-founder Steve Jobs, people said.
Jony Ive urmareste indeproape procesul creativ al inginerilor companiei Apple, aproba fiecare dintre schimbarile care urmeaza sa fie implementate in iOS 7, iar acest lucru ingreuneaza procesul de dezvoltare. Oamenii care fac parte din echipa ce dezvolta iOS 7
sustin ca termenele de predare a noilor functii sunt mult intarziate fata de cele din aceeasi perioada a anului trecut, acest lucru putand sugera faptul ca noua versiune a sistemului de operare ar putea fi lansata dupa luna septembrie.The introduction of new features, along with an emphasis on cooperation and deliberation, comes at a cost for Cupertino, California-based Apple. Engineers are racing to finish iOS 7, the next version of the mobile software, in time for a June preview at Apple’s annual Worldwide Developers Conference. While the company still expects to release iOS 7 on time as soon as September, internal deadlines for submitting features for testing are being set later than past releases, people said.
Apple foloseste ingineri ai echipei ce dezvolta OS X-ul pentru a termina procesul de dezvoltare al iOS 7 si exista presiune foarte mare ca noile functii sa fie cu adevarat inovatoare. Jony Ive a inceput procesul de schimbare cu mai putin de un an de zile inaintea lansarii iOS 7 si ramane de vazut cat de mult va reusi sa isi puna amprenta asupra viitorului iOS-ului.
