iPhone 6 release date was speculated to happen in the fall and will be the first device to run with the newly-announced iOS 8 software.
Although Apple has not announced the specs and features of the upcoming iPhone 6, the new operating system hinted on some of the new functions and capabilities Apple fans will see on the handset. Below are some of the amazing iOS 8 features that users should expect in the upcoming iPhone 6.
Healthkit
Apple developed a new API called Healthkit. This API will allow developers to link applications to a central database of your personal health data. This API is not limited to the apps in the App Store but also the professional medical applications and platforms will be able to utilize this feature.
Improved TouchID fingerprint sensor
Apple will also include an improved fingerprint sensor. The company revealed that the TouchID will now work with third party apps that will replace the use of logins and passwords in your mobile accounts. Users will be able to use their fingerprint in logging in in their accounts, which strengthens the security as other people will be unable to access it.
New camera features
Apple will herald new features to its iSight's camera as iOS 8 will add Time Lapse photography. Moreover, Apple will also include a new Photos app, which includes new editing functions. The technology seems similar to the iOS version of iPhoto but with a much simpler interface. Users can also store photos in the iCloud with 5GB of free storage. Users can also avail bigger storage with plans starting at $1 per month.
Continuity
One of the most exciting software features coming to Apple devices is continuity that seamlessly integrates both Macs and iOS devices. With this new feature, users can now work between Macs and iOS devices by dragging and saving a file from Mac devices to your iPhone, iPod or iPad via a wi-fi network. You can also continue whatever you are working on in your Mac computer or laptop to your portable devices. The iOS device will show a small icon on the bottom left corner of the lock screen. Tapping on that icon will open whatever you were working on before.
