Changes in iOS in those years: Do you remember the icons on the home screen before?

The iPhone is 10 years old today, and so is its iOS system. So what superficial changes have iOS made in recent years? The following content will take you back to the evolution of iOS icons in those years. What have these icons gone through? Start with the most story-telling map App and give it to the microphone:

Note: Before iOS 4, the name used by iOS was iPhone OS.

IOS has the most story-telling icon winner. From iPhone OS to iOS 5, the pushpin in the map icon indicates the location of Apple's headquarters. The runway road on the right side of the pushpin is the so-called "infinite cycle". Inside the ring road is Apple's office building, and outside is the parking lot. As Apple abandoned Google Maps in iOS 6 and adopted its own map, the map icon in iOS 6 removed the pushpin and started all the way west from the headquarters. Interestingly, the route in the icon is not a feasible route:

Looking at the icon, it is not difficult to see that this is not a crossroads. Rolling over when you go out is considered by netizens to be the best way to complain about the poor accuracy of Apple maps. In the iOS 7 version, the icon was changed directly by Apple Park, indicating the location of the new headquarters at that time. Since the new headquarters has been built, the iOS 1 1 version icon directly draws a corner of Apple Park.

IPhone OS 3 has added a striped background to some system application icons, which has been used until iOS 6, and mobile phones are of course among them. However, in the later flattening trend, telephone icons returned to the original simplicity.

The same striped background is an information application. Before iPhone OS 3, there was the word "SMS" in the bubble of information icon. In iPhone OS 3, MMS service is supported, the word SMS is removed, the application name is changed from "text" to "message", and the bubble is also expanded. After that, iOS5 has the iMessage function, but it has no effect on the icon. The next change is another big circle of the iOS 7 version, which is very inflated.

Camera icons have been making small details adjustments from iPhone OS to iOS 6. The iOS 7 version didn't flatten this lens as expected, but took a SLR camera. But in fact, the iOS 7 icon contains some light and shadow details: two thin lines, a circle in the middle and a small yellow dot, which have different shadow effects. I really admire the details of Apple, although we always thought it was flat. The camera icon in iOS 1 1 version reduces some details and is more rounded.

The predecessor of wallet is Passbook, a ticket aggregation application. With the addition of Apple Pay, the Passbook icon in iOS 8 has a bank card logo. In iOS 9, it officially evolved into a wallet, and the icon was also made into a positive result, completely becoming a wallet.

The sky behind the photo icon has been changing subtly from iPhone OS to iOS 6. The iOS 7 version is still in use today and should be regarded as an abstract version of sunflower.

Like photo applications, the sky background before iOS 4 has been changing slightly. I miss the beautiful details of the era when imitation was popular.

IOS is the second most tangled icon. In 2007, Jobs introduced the first generation iPhone with the concept of Internet communicator+phone +iPod, in which the music function is naturally called "iPod" and the icon is also an iPod. After four generations of iOS, I finally changed my name to "Music" and began to change color. Apple Music, which comes with iOS 8.4, has changed the icon color scheme again and has remained so far.

The most tangled icon in IOS comes first. The calculator icon always corresponds to its UI style, and the icon is what it looks like in the application.

The calculator icon has undergone a small detail adjustment, but this is a huge adjustment. The UI design of its first generation calculator almost copied the calculator designed by Dietram for Braun, and Dietram was also one of Jobs' idols.

FaceTime was a key feature when iPhone 4 was released. Although I have never understood the relationship between video calling applications and professional cameras, Apple has gone further and further on this road, and now the Facetime icon even deletes the camera image. Plus the official clip and iMovie, it's really you and me.

There is a lot of speculation about the Safari icon in iOS 1 1, and the pointer angle changes slightly. For example, the geomagnetic north pole in the real earth is constantly changing, and it has moved more than 1000 kilometers to the north in the past 50 years; The 3D pointer says: Putting the old and new icons together and overlapping them with the naked eye will give you a 3D feeling. ...

The calendar application has honestly displayed the real-time date since the iPhone OS, and the design has not changed much. After iOS 7, the color display of the week will be different in different regions. For example, when the region is set to Japan, the week will be displayed in black instead of red, which is in line with local usage habits.

In contrast, weather icons are not so real. Although the icon shows the sun and temperature, it is not real-time weather. In the iOS 7 version, it was changed to white clouds to cover the sky.

Winner of the most local icon in iOS. Before flattening, the clock icon has also been adjusted in some light details, and its main pattern has not changed. However, the iPad icon of iOS 6 is definitely different. This is the first time that the clock application has come to the iPad. Its design copied the clock design of Swiss federal subway;

According to Singapore's Lianhe Zaobao, Apple has been accused of infringing the copyright of Swiss Federal Railways and paid 2 1 10,000 US dollars in compensation. But it doesn't matter, Apple has the following two ways to absorb gold:

The iTunes Store appeared as the iTunes Music Store as early as 2003, but it has not yet become popular among users in China. As the official store icon of Apple's music, TV and movies, it has always appeared in the form of music notation. However, in iOS 1 1, it has become a star representing movie content, which may be related to the fact that the introduction of subscription Apple Music has weakened the function of music stores.

Also a store, the App Store maintains the same visual style as the iTunes Store icon. The main figure is an A-shape consisting of a pencil, a brush and a ruler. But in the latest version of iOS 1 1, it has become three "finger ladies". However, its A-shaped image is far deeper than that of pencils, brushes and rulers, and it is still recognizable.

The process of people becoming lazy is probably like this. From iOS 5 clearly marked "milk, eggs and bread" to not wanting to write, Lian Heng squares gradually decreased. ...

Use reminders to learn bad, and there are fewer and fewer horizontal lines.

The curve of the stock market icon has also been adjusted and changed to a more realistic black background in iOS 7.

Compass is one of the new functions of iPhone OS 3, and the models before iPhone 3GS can't be used. Exquisite icons have been used in iOS 6. After flattening with iOS 7, the compass application has added functions such as level meter, altimeter and protractor, but the icon and name have not changed.

Voice memo is also a new function of iPhone OS 3. The microphone in the icon is the same as that in the interface. The iOS 4 version flattened the icon in advance, but the interface was still an analog microphone. The iOS 7 version icon directly becomes a waveform diagram, and the recording interface changes from a microphone to a real-time waveform diagram.

The evolution of the address book icon describes an emotional experience: at first, the man was surrounded by six girls with good feelings. After years of hesitation, Ms. E and Ms. F left. After four years, I finally found a girlfriend, and ABCD became a memory.

The setting icon has also undergone the adjustment of light and shadow details. In iOS 6, the teeth of the gear have become a bit round, which is the first gear that can be rotated during the upgrade of the mobile phone. The iOS 7 version becomes the gear of the ferrule, and the black part of the iOS 1 1 version is deeper.
