Monterey weather

Early this morning, Apple held the annual WWDC developer conference, and released four new systems: iOS 15, iPadOS 15, macOS Monterey and watchOS 8.

Unfortunately, until the end of two hours, Apple did not release new hardware products, which means that this time no new MacBook Pro was released.

First of all, we want to tell a good news. (Because there is no such good news later)

The iOS 15 system did not abandon the iPhone6S device this time. This six-year-old device still supports upgrading the iOS 15 system.

Let's congratulate the iPhone6S on being the longest supported device in the system. 6S is the eternal God!

Then there are new features.

1: facetime update

This time, Apple has made a big update to FaceTime video calling, and launched a web version of FaceTime, which means that even if the other party is not an Apple device, such as Windows, Android can make FaceTime calls with you through a web page.

It also supports noise reduction call mode, which can reduce the surrounding sound, and portrait mode also supports FaceTime, which can blur the background and highlight people.

When many people are talking, they now add a grid multi-person display, which can display everyone's video windows evenly. FaceTime also supports spatial audio, which allows you to perceive each other's position through sound.

Support FaceTime *** enjoy viewing mode, you can talk together while watching videos or listening to songs, let the other party know what you are doing, or watch together.

On the whole, FaceTime is of little significance in China. After all, people are more accustomed to using WeChat videos. These new features look a lot, but actually they don't seem to make much sense. ...

2. Apple SMS enhancements

Now Apple's SMS function iMessages can share application cards with contacts, such as directly linking web pages and Apple Music music to others.

I also added some brand-new clothes and stickers to simulate my expression, such as cochlear implants, oxygen tubes, helmets and so on.

And you can also customize your own state, such as driving state, sports state, reading state and so on. , and support automatic switching.

Generally speaking, this thing is as meaningless as FaceTime. After all, we have WeChat. ...

3. Revision of notice column

Now the notification bar has changed from the previous chronological sorting to the system automatic sorting. Simply put, the system will automatically judge whether this notice is important or not, and then automatically arrange it for you.

For example, email is very important, and Apple will rank first, but SMS is more important, Apple will rank first, and music is less important, and it will rank last.

Wechat: Am I not the most important?

4. Enhanced camera function

Now cameras and photo albums can automatically recognize the words in the photo content and support Chinese-English translation. In addition, they can automatically identify the phone number of speed dial.

In addition to words, the camera can now recognize what is photographed. For example, if you photograph a bunch of flowers, the camera will recognize what it is. If you take a picture of a book, the purchase price and link will pop up.

The memory function in the photo album has also been enhanced, and now there are more animations, which can also be matched with appropriate songs as background sounds.

5. Enhanced privacy features

Now, in addition to turning off the tracking function of the APP, you can also clearly see how the app uses the permissions you granted them, which third parties they contacted and how long they contacted recently.

You can now set a private address for your email. The system will generate a temporary address for you to use, and the mail will be forwarded to your own address, so that your mailbox will not be leaked.

6: Weather application update

Now, the weather application has a huge function update. In addition to the brand-new card design on the interface, there are many new contents in it.

It can display air quality map, ultraviolet index, sunrise and sunset time, wind direction and speed, rainfall, somatosensory temperature, humidity, visibility and air pressure.

By the way, there are also ancestral weather applications. The problem of getting stuck is back. When you open a new weather application, it is possible that the phone will get hot and the card will explode.

7: Launch I cloud+ service

Apple has launched a brand-new iCloud+ service, which needs to be purchased separately. The current price is 50GB/6 yuan for one month.

Its main purpose is to enable users to realize private relay encryption, hide e-mail addresses and various more advanced encryption services.

8: Browser update

Apple updated Safari's own browser, and now the overall operating logic has changed. The whole interface becomes full screen display, and the top search and toolbar become floating window display.

When browsing, the system will automatically become full screen display, the toolbar will automatically hide, and the tabs of the browser will also become adaptive arrangement display.

9. Overall UI adjustment of the system

Although the system interface of iOS 15 has not been greatly adjusted, many details have been adjusted, such as the menu display in the settings, and the menu display of various interfaces has become rounded.

The functions of input method and other systems have also been adjusted in some details, but there is no difference in use.

10: Do Not Disturb mode has become a "focus" function, which can be set to classic Do Not Disturb mode, sleep mode or personal custom mode.

1 1: Accessibility has been enhanced, and now the text size, bold text, contrast and color can be adjusted separately for each program. The blind mode has also updated some functions.

12: Labeling function is added to the note-taking function, which can classify the notes or set them to a brand-new display mode.

13: The translation function has been enhanced, and it is now possible to translate dialogue and in-program texts more quickly.

15: Siri has been enhanced to share news, web pages, music and other projects. If you can't share it, Siri will give you a screenshot to share.

16: After the update, a magnifying glass application appears on the desktop, which is actually a very simple camera application and meaningless.

17: Digital Heritage Project. If someone dies accidentally and throws himself on the street, his family can access his account after his death through this plan.

On the whole, iOS 15 seems to have many functions, but in fact, a closer look will reveal that many functions are meaningless, just some adjustments, not the main functions.

As a big version update, iOS 15 is obviously awkward. You know, some minor version updates may add more new features than this.

Fortunately, this version also supports iPhone6S devices, otherwise it will definitely be spit out.

Finally, my personal update suggestion is: Don't update.

After all, it is still the most elementary Beta version, so there are many bugs. After the upgrade, I encountered a lot of abnormal fever and stuck. I don't recommend ordinary users to update early adopters.

Most importantly, early adopters should be fresh. What are the important new features of iOS 15? What's the point of updating?
