On Monday Apple unveiled its major software update for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. iOS 11 contains hundreds of new features, so tell about all the innovations in the framework of one event is simply impossible.
During the presentation, Apple paid attention to only the key improvements in iOS 11. First of all, the company is pleased with the minimum amount of memory, optimizing the use of space in the gadget. IMessage messages are now stored in iCloud and synced across devices, and photos and videos will take up less memory on the iPhone and iPad thanks to new compression algorithms without loss of quality.
Completely redesigned App Store, control room, and the icons of some apps. A rather interesting “feature” of iOS 11 — new mode “do Not disturb driving”, which does not allow to be distracted from the road.
Less noticeable changes in iOS 11 left in the shadows, but that doesn’t mean they have less value to users or developers. Below is a list of innovations that are present in the new OS, but were not affected at the official presentation.
