Take you into the world of IOS11 step by step

In the early morning of September 13, after Apple released a series of products including iPhone 8, the iOS 11 GM version was officially pushed to some preview users. At the same time, the Chinese version of iOS 11 introduction also appeared on Apple's official website in China. So what new features does iOS 11 bring? What devices will it support? When will it be officially pushed to Apple users? The following will answer them one by one.

The camera has an additional role as a barcode scanner

We are all very familiar with scanning codes. For example, many APPs are now developed based on native + H5. Sometimes, we need to see how the H5 page is displayed in the APP to facilitate debugging and testing of some problems. Then the first thing we usually do is to generate a QR code for this page, and then use the scanning function in our APP to open this page. All of this seems to have some slight changes with the release of IOS11, because the IOS camera can also scan codes, and by scanning codes, in addition to opening pages, you can also open APP.

Maps adds indoor navigation and traffic cameras

When we are looking for parking spaces in underground parking lots of some large shopping malls, airports, large complexes, etc., do you all have this experience? That is, on weekends or holidays, when we drive to these places to find parking spaces, we may not find any after searching for a while, so we drive the car out again. Now, IOS's new map data and the addition of indoor navigation allow us to easily find parking spaces in these places.

New App Store

This APP Store update should be the biggest one. With the Today tag, we can find out what everyone in the world is paying attention to at the moment. With the Game tag, game lovers can easily find all kinds of games they love to play. It is not difficult to see that the birth of these two tags is the result of long-term collection and analysis of Apple's user experience data.

At the same time, more videos have been added to the APP download details page to help you quickly understand the APP through videos, thereby reducing the cost of learning and using the APP.

Easy photo and video creation

On some self-media, we will occasionally see a type of video that is composed only of limited photos. Before, these videos were produced with the help of some third-party tools or software. Now with IOS11, we can say 88 to these tools and software, because IOS11 comes with a photo and video production function. All we need to do is select a few satisfactory photos, and then we can make a looping video. This is indeed a benefit for self-media users.

ARKit framework reduces developer pressure

Ideals are beautiful, but reality is cruel. Although we, as programmers, are very clear about the charm of AR, without the corresponding SDK or framework, we can only sigh. However, the introduction of the ARKit framework in iOS 11 seems to have changed all this. With this framework, we programmers can quickly develop AR-based applications.

Let you concentrate more on driving

Through various sensors, if the iPhone senses that you are driving, then all text messages, calls, etc. will be automatically blocked temporarily at this moment, and the person who contacts you will receive a notification that you are driving, allowing you to drive and communicate at the same time.

IOS11 supported devices

From the above picture, we can see that iOS 11 will support iPhone 5s to X series, which means that 4 and 5 will no longer be supported. For iPad, it will support mini2 series devices and above. For iPod, it is only the sixth generation. However, for iPhone users, there is also unfortunate news, that is, Apple's ARKit only supports A9 chips and above, which means that it must be supported by iPhone 6s (including 6S) and above.

From the official website, we can know that IOS11 will not be officially pushed to Apple mobile phone users until September 20th, so let us wait quietly.
