Apple on iPhone and iPad to Mac – The World

two platforms Apple iOS and OS X -operating system-Mac computers, will be starting this fall more linked. At the Worldwide Developers Conference, WWDC, that opens Monday in San Francisco the company has focused on the concept of ‘continuity’ , the transition in the use of either device without workflow interruption.

iPhone users , for example, may answer phone calls they receive on their computer, without leaving your chair . Text messages , even coming from regular phones, and can also be displayed on the screen answered. Working Papers may abandon the Mac and resumed at the same point you left on your tablet or phone.

The WWDC conference is an event for developers and Apple rarely announces new products for the same. The new model launches iPhone iPad usually reserved for the month of September. Apple, however, fail to renew the appointment for versions of its two platforms . In addition to greater integration between the two to quote this year has revealed important changes in both.

iOS 8

Apple made a design change deep last year on its iOS platform. This year, the eighth version of the operating system for iPhones and iPads will continue to refine the look by adding small changes to certain apps and services.

Among the new features of the new operating system stands Health , an app designed to organize all the information health and wellness user captured via phone or accessories of other airlines , as the bracelets that measure activity index or medical sensors that are used to certain patients.

For months the press has echoed the rumors of a bracelet or smart Apple clock will gather some of that information, with more data now full of your iPhone is achieved, but the launch probably be reserved for the Christmas season . Health Apple hard in any case, on a other companies, such as Samsung or Google are also trying to master.

There are significant changes in some of the most used applications on the system. The new version of the app Posts , for example, allows you to send voice messages and picture without leaving the screen and more detailed messages to control groups. In the Mail emails in composition to query information can depart before typing them. A new mode combined use familiar to iPad and iPhone allows multiple family members to share movies and music or buy apps between devices using the same credit card. Children will need to request permission to make app purchases.

Apple store version from all photos taken with the device in iCloud (your platform cloud services ) permanently. Users can search any picture taken with their devices, even if the phones have been deleted to free up space. So far Apple stored only the last 1,000 images taken as temporary solution until the user downloads as images on a computer for permanent file. The app also allows shooting Raw images in more detail.

Apple has also opened the door to a stronger foray into home automation . There are already several intelligent devices to install at home, from locks to lights, thermostats through . Many use a separate app and own protocols. Apple will now offer support that can be controlled together. Apps developers also have access to new tools for different applications to talk to each other.

The new system will be available to developers today in beta and reach consumers in autumn . May be installed on the same devices now use the seventh version of the iOS operating system, including the iPhone 4s.

OS X

The new version MacOS, dubbed Yosemite , yes suffer a more pronounced change in appearance following a visual style cleaner , similar to the transition that Apple made to iOS last year. The icons, typography and visual elements have been redesigned to give a more coherent version in the style of iOS.

Two applications that have undergone more changes are Spotlight and Notification Center . The first is now taking place at the center of the screen and allow you to quickly find files and documents on the hard disk, but also information on the net about specific concepts or units make changes without having to resort to the web browser. The second install now allow small programs with timely information-known as ‘widgets’.

Apple has also improved the integration of its storage service in the cloud . Now iCloud Drive appears as another unit within the hard drive and thanks to it we can quickly share files with other users and devices. The function Airdrop , which until now was only available between devices with the same operating system-Mac to Mac or IOS to IOS-win interoperability . Send files from one Mac to or an iPhone will be much easier.

mail application will be one of the most benefited with the new changes . Now possible to annotate or highlight items on the images before sending or sign documents and fill out forms quickly without having to use another application. Attachments can be sent through a secure server in encrypted form.

Like iOS, OS X will be available from Yosemite today to developers and the final version will come in autumn. Mac users can join the beta testing program if you want access before . The update, as above, will be free. a strategy that has worked very well for the company. More than half of the 800 million distributed by the Mac world have the latest operating system. Tim Cook, the company’s president, compared the figure with Windows 8-of-payment, barely present in 14% of the PC on the planet.

@ MMSWE Yes, you can develop in ObjectiveC. In fact both can coexist within the same app. As is very technical I preferred to leave it aside but talk about it on the blog.
