Apple officially launched iOS 8 for iPad, iPhone and iPod touch users. It is easier to figure out the pros and cons of iOS 8 after the official release.
Sadly, it seems like the people who have iPhone 4s and iPad will get a weaker version of Apple’s new operating system.
Apple confirmed the list of the product which is about to touch the markets in a few months. These products are iWatch, two brand new iPhones, iPad, iPad touch and iOS 8. The company has initially confirmed the news of iOS 8 at WWDC 2014 but Apple refused to announce its release date and features.
However, Apple has confirmed all the information along with the iPhone 6. The new mobile operating system iOS 8 will arrive for iPhone 5s, iPhone 5c, iPhone 4s, iPad Air, iPad mini. iPad 4, iPad 3, iPad 2, iPod touch fifth generation. The company has planned to release it on the 17th of September which means five days after the date of iPhone Pre-orders.
It is certainly a breathtaking time for the people who possess iPhone and iPad especially the owners if iPhone 4s and iPad 2. This new mobile operating system is the third update fro the iPhone 4s and fourth update for iPad 2.
The update for iPad 2 is a bit surprising since Apple typically release a new iOS software support after every three years. These updates will come along with the other iOS updates which means it will miss a few features of iOS 8.
Besides the release date of iOS 8, Apple gave a bad news to its users that iOS 8 features will be restricted to some specific models.
The Health feature of iOS 8 would be only available for the users of iPhone 4s and iPod touch. The biggest disappointment is that Apple’s exciting continuity feature would not support iPad 2, iPad 3 or the iPhone 4s. Apple revealed this thing on the splash page of iOS 8.
It indicates that one of the most exciting feature of iOS 8 would not be presented to the users of iPhone 4s, iPad 3 and iPad 2. Continuity technology is a set of features which will let Android powered smartphone interact with Google Chrome OS or MAC. For example, Handoff will permit users to begin an email on the iPhone and complete it on the MAC. It also works for a variety of Apple apps such as Safari, Pages, Numbers, Keynote, Maps, Message and much more. Apple ha unlocked it even for a third party app developers.
Continuity will let iPhone user to receive calls, send messages on the iPad or the MAC.
Luckily, these are merely the exclusion it seems like all the other things will come to iPhone 4s, iPad 3 and iPad 2.
iOS 8 appears like an upgraded version of iOS 7. It will provide numerous improvements which will surely make the Apple’s new devices much better. Moreover, it will extend the lives of all the previous version of smartphone and tablets.
