iOS 11.3 a fost Lansat pentru iPhone si iPad

iOS 11.3 a fost lansat pentru iPhone si iPad de catre compania Apple, noua versiune a sistemului de operare pentru iDevice-uri fiind testata in versiune beta pana a fi oferita in acest moment pentru noi. iOS 11.3 a fost testat intens de catre compania Apple din cauza unora dintre schimbarile importante pe care utilizatorii le au disponibile dupa instalarea sa, una dintre noutati aducand o schimbare de care extrem de multi clienti se vor bucura.

iOS 11.3 este cea de-a treia versiune majora a sistemului de operare pentru iPhone si iPad, cel mai probabil ultima dintre ele, compania Apple urmand a lansa in principal actualizari intermediare in viitor. Separat de multele functii noi implementate de catre compania Apple in iOS 11.3 pentru iPhone si iPad, exista multe rezolvari pentru probleme importante, plus blocarea unei serii de exploit-uri care puneau in pericol utilizatorii.

iOS 11.3 poate fi instalat chiar acum pe iPhone si iPad prin sistemul Software Update, Actualizare Software, sau folosind iTunes, desi prima metoda e mai simpla, insa daca ati avut instalata ultima versiune beta, e probabil sa nu vedeti actualizarea la cea finala. Instalarea iOS 11.3 prin sistemul Software Update, Actualizare Software, se poate face accesand Settings > General > Software Update, Configurari > General > Actualizare Software si urmand instructiunile de pe ecran.

Dezactiveaza reducerea performantelor pe iPhone

iOS 11.3 aduce o functie care va permite dezactivarea sistemului care reduce performantele iPhone in functie de nivelul de degradare al bateriei. Apple a implementat aceasta functie in iOS 10.2.1 si limiteaza performantele iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, iPhone SE, iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus, iPhone 7 si iPhone 7 Plus, dar totul pentru scurt timp.

Apple a promis ca iOS 11.3 va afisa in sectiunea dedicata bateriei informatii detaliate privind starea de “sanatate” a acesteia si daca performantele iPhone sunt limitate, sau nu. In cazul in care acestea sunt limitate, iOS 11.3 va afisa in buton care va permite dezactivarea sistemului si readucerea performantelor la normal, desi telefoanele s-ar putea inchide subit in timpul folosirii.

“iOS 11.3 adds new features to show battery health and recommend if a battery needs to be serviced. These can be found in Settings -> Battery and are available for iPhone 6 and later. Additionally, users can now see if the power management feature that dynamically manages maximum performance to prevent unexpected shutdowns, first introduced in iOS 10.2.1, is on and can choose to turn it off. This feature can be found in Settings -> Battery and is available for iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, iPhone SE, iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus, iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus.”

Noi experiente de realitate augmentata

Mergand in continuare, compania Apple anunta lansarea ARKit 1.5 care va aduce pe iPhone si iPad posibilitatea de a plasa obiecte virtuale pe pereti, usi si mult mai multe suprafete. iOS 11.3 aduce pentru dezvoltatori o acuratete mult mai mare pentru plasarea acestor obiecte pe aproape orice fel de suprafete, Apple reusind sa imbunatateasca algoritmii de amplasare in timp real.

Mai mult decat atat, inteligenta artificiala din iOS 11.3 permite plasarea de imagini 2D in imagini filmate in timp real folosind camerele telefoanelor noastre, lucru imposibil pana acum. Apple spune ca in iOS 11.3 ARKit va permite umplerea unui muzeu cu exponate folosind ARKit 1.5, iar separat de asta, rezolutia imaginilor va fi cu pana la 50% mai buna si focalizarea automata va fi deasemenea integrata.

“In addition to horizontal surfaces like tables and chairs, ARKit can now recognize and place virtual objects on vertical surfaces like walls and doors, and can more accurately map irregularly shaped surfaces like circular tables. Using advanced computer vision techniques to find and recognize the position of 2D images such as signs, posters, and artwork, ARKit can integrate these real world images into AR experiences such as filling a museum with interactive exhibits or bringing a movie poster to life. The view of the real world through the camera now has 50 percent greater resolution and supports auto-focus for an even sharper perspective.”

Noi Animoji pentru mai multa distractie

Fie ca va plac, sau nu, Animoji nu dispar din iPhone X, iar in iOS 11.3 compania Apple a implementat o serie noua de caractere animate de catre fetele noastre. In clipul video de mai jos puteti vedea noile caractere Animoji pe care iOS 11.3 le aduce pentru iPhone X, compania Apple stiind ca lumea le foloseste in mod frecvent pentru a purta conversatii.

Informatii medicale in aplicatia Sanatate

Pentru cei care traiesc in tarile civilizate unde spitalele au intrat in era digitala, iOS 11.3 permite inclusiv stocarea informatiilor medicale in aplicatia Sanatate din telefoanele iPhone. Fie ca vorbim despre alergii, vaccinuri, rezultate pentru analize, interventii chirurgicale si orice fel de informatii pe care spitalul le are in legatura cu voi, iOS 11.3 le va putea stoca.

Apple nu a anuntat si institutiile medicale care vor putea partaja acest tip de informatii, dar cu siguranta numarul acestora nu va fi chiar atat de mare, iar in afara SUA e greu de spus ce alte tari le vor putea oferi.

“The new Health Records feature brings together hospitals, clinics and the existing Health app to make it easy for consumers to see their available medical data from multiple providers, whenever they choose. Patients from participating medical institutions will have information from various institutions organized into one view and receive regular notifications for their lab results, medications, conditions and more. Health Records data is encrypted and protected with a passcode.”

Business chat – discuta cu orice companie de pe glob

Daca Facebook Messenger permite discutiile private cu robotii companiilor mari de pe planeta, compania Apple a implementat ceva similar pentru utilizatorii sai. Aplicatia Mesaje urmeaza sa permita interactiunea cu companiile care sunt interesate sa intre in contact cu ai loc clienti direct prin mesaje trimise in aceasta aplicatie, discutiile fiind facute in timp real.

Apple spune ca pentru inceput doar companiile de mai jos vor face parte din Business Chat, iar daca va asteptati sa vedeti o asemenea functie si in Romania, atunci va recomand sa va treziti putin la realitate.

“Business Chat is a new way for users to communicate directly with businesses right within Messages. This feature will launch in Beta with the public availability of iOS 11.3 this spring, with the support of select businesses including Discover, Hilton, Lowe’s and Wells Fargo. With Business Chat, it’s easy to have a conversation with a service representative, schedule an appointment or make purchases using Apple Pay in the Messages app.”

Alte functii

Apple ofera posibilitatea de a vedea clipuri video prin Apple Music fara a avea afisate si reclame, iar artistii interesati vor putea deasemenea sa-si lanseze videoclipurile prin platforma. Apple News are o noua sectiune pentru a vedea clipurile video importante ale zilei, iar HomeKit va oferi un nou sistem de adauga suport pentru accesorii fara a compromite securitatea.
