7 Exciting Features The iPhone Might Get This Year
Apple Inc. recently announced the dates of its biggest software event of the year, WWDC 2017.
As before, this year’s event will again see the tech giant unveiling the newest generation of its operating system, iOS 11, which powers the company’s iPhones and iPads. It will be released along with the newest edition of iPhones as well as for the previous generation iPhones(compatible devices).
Here are seven new and exciting features the Apple iPhone is expected to get this September.
1. Transcribe voice mail to text: Though this feature is at present available in iOS 10, it’s limited to the beta versions alone. Enables users to transcribe all their voicemails to text if necessary
2. Revamped Siri: It speculated that the tech giant is planning an array of new changes for its personalized digital assistant. They are attempting to make it work in offline mode. Another exciting feature is making it work cross platform, meaning execution of a command on the iPhone when given from an iPad. They are rumored to be even working on the voice, trying to make it sound less robotic and more natural.
3. Augmented Reality: Supposedly one of the biggest features of the new batch of iPhones, the company’s Apple analyst KGI Securities Ming-Chi Kuo said that Apple’s upcoming iPhone, dubbed iPhone 8, will support 3D sensing, AR, and biometric authentication. He spoke about a pair of sensors on the FaceTime camera will help iPhone 8 provide features ranging from 3D sensing and modeling to advanced biometric authentication.
4. Drop Support for 32-bit: Apple is reportedly all set to stop support for 32-bit with its new iOS. This will result in the obsoletion of around 200,000 apps on the app store as they all depend on the 32bit OS.
5. Dark Mode: The new OS might finally have Dark Mode for its users on iPhones and iPads.
6. Group FaceTime: This is one of the biggest features that’s missing on the iPhone’s chat app. We might finally get to use this if they decide to incorporate it into this year’s release, as Skype already has this feature in their app.
7. Improved Maps: In an attempt to catch up to their big time rival Google Maps, Apple is thinking of deploying a fleet of drones to enhance is mapping data and increase accuracy and effectiveness of its native navigation application. The company is assembling a team of data collection experts and robotics, responsible for mapping location and map data using drones, instead of the regular minivans with cameras and other sensors.
This year WWDC should be a game changer in the rivalry between Apple, Google, and Samsung.
