Analysis: iOS 7 [video] - Tecmundo

On September 18th, Apple released the stable version of iOS 7, which brings a lot of buzz for the handheld devices that the company manufactures. As of now, the system of iPads, iPhones and iPods Touch now has a new layout – the first major change since the launch in 2007 – and some unpublished resources. But will the update is a good idea for consumers?

We made several tests with iOS 7 and brought our impressions so that everyone knows what to expect from the system. Besides the obvious changes in design, it also features new multitasking system and central control, for example. Stay tuned for all the details to see if updates iOS to let him or continue with the old version would be more interesting ..

Complete Redesign

There’s no telling what the new layout of iOS 7 is not the biggest change coming in the operating system. Since the icons shown on the Home screens to applications that are part of iOS are completely reworked. Already the unlock screen you can see the devices that came with all new features for Apple laptops.

Instead of the famous bar release, you can now drag across the screen to gain access to the device functions. And once that happens, we see that there was a great change in the designs used by iOS. Application icons now follow the market trend and are stoned with traits much more beautiful and combine that with laptops.

With less

dimensional details and a flatter structure is clearly visible that the iOS has been designed to fit perfectly in the design of smartphones and tablets in the U.S. company. Even the virtual keyboard of iOS is more beautiful. With darker colors, it became easier to find the keys and perform the necessary keystrokes.

Gallery

Although the icons are less 3D features, I must say that the interface generally follows the opposite path, thanks to new features Parallax – who use the orientation sensors to deliver the best to consumers. This is great aesthetically, but older devices may experience to perform these functions.

According

Homer Meyer (designer editorial NZN), iOS 7 with Apple came out of the past. The new system has left traces that were overcome to finally be able to offer what consumers expect from a modern smartphone. Traces plans are just the tip of the iceberg, which also involves the colors and the fluidity of the system.

Also in

applications

features of the new iOS applications are also present in standard operating system. Calculator, photo gallery, and playing music and videos are just some of the examples that can be cited. In iPhones, we also have the arrival of new features to the system calls and messages, which will now submit a layout plan and more.

But perhaps the biggest difference is in the camera app. With new features, it now allows users to apply effects to photos before you even capture it. There is also greater ease in use and application of the panoramas HDR mode. Another novelty is the option of square photographs that can be used in external higher quality apps.


Safari

When we think of the new Safari, it is necessary to separate the analysis by different devices. While the iPad there are not many differences besides the features present in the browser and access to the tabs and resources sharing, iPods and iPhones is possible to see something new and cool: the new three-dimensional system of tabs, thanks to the use of sensors of the appliance .

New

central control

From now on, multitasking and central control are not in the same place. While the first feature continues with the old method of accessing the second is accessed as the user drags a finger from the bottom of the interface to the center of the screen. And there are all the functions you need to control music, volume, connectivity and also quick access to some apps.

If the same process is carried out at the top of the interface, open functions are related to the calendar and notifications. Doing this from the center of the screen, you can perform searches on the device. All this change can cause confusion at first, but ends up being quite interesting when we have become accustomed. We can say that it made simpler control of iOS.

Multitasking

refurbished

As we said, there was a change in the system of access to applications in the background. With this, also changed the lock mode of the software in multitasking. Now, instead of holding the icons pressed for a new option appears, users need to drag the apps up. Positive, because everything became more dynamic.

Problems slowness?

Both the iPhone 5 as the fifth generation iPod Touch was possible to run iOS 7 with complete fluidity. All features swirled with enough quality, and this is true for applications in the system. On the other hand, we did tests with the third generation of the iPad and the result was a bit underwhelming.

There was no lock to commit to use, but at various times was noticeable slowness in performing the tasks. This can be fixed already in a first package of OS updates, but it is something that will surely be felt by consumers.

There are also some points in the Portuguese version not yet serviced by Apple. Siri still not working in the language Radio and iTunes can only be used by consumers who are logged with U.S. accounts. There is no prediction of arrival of these resources to the Brazilian market.


Battery

There are some reports that iOS 7 may be drawing power beyond what was expected, but it depends on the use. As happened in previous versions of the operating system, it is possible that some applications are causing power consumption higher than normal. Fortunately, it’s likely that this is fixed with some minor updates apps soon.


worth upgrading?

Who is passionate about Apple notebooks will certainly want to try out the new features of iOS 7. Being the first major visual change since the launch of the first version, the new operating system can be a little tricky to use at first, but soon it is already overcome.

Therefore, it is likely that consumers will enchant with the new possibilities generated by the update. It is worth saying that developers should be creating and updating apps so they fit better in this system flatter iOS 7, which will result in more uniformity in a not too distant future.
