According to the report, Apple’s support site developers, three weeks after the release of the new operating system iOS 8 is set to 47% of apple devices. It should be noted that two weeks ago, the figure was 46%, which shows the reluctance of users to switch to the new version.

It also reported that to date, 47% of users continue to use the iOS 7 and 6% work with earlier versions. According to experts, this situation is associated with many problems and bugs inherent iOS 8.

Recall that before the release of iOS all 8 enabled applications HealthKit were temporarily hidden from the App Store due to a serious bug in the new system. IOS 8.0.1 update was supposed to fix the problem, but eventually led to a complete cessation of the fingerprint Touch ID and loss of connection to the cellular network in the new iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus.

A day later update was released iOS 8.0.2, which corrected some errors, but it soon became known that the people began to lose all my documents from iCloud Drive during normal reset all settings on devices with iOS 8. Some users also complain about the Bluetooth , the slow speed of data exchange via Wi-Fi and reduced autonomy.

All this led to the fact that many people have decided not to update their iOS device 7 to a new version of the operating system. According to the report the research firm Mixpanel, last year for 20 days, 69.7% of users updated to iOS 7.

It is also worth noting that with the release of iOS 8.0.2 Apple stopped signing iOS 7.1.2, so revert to an older version after upgrading to iOS 8 longer. Despite this, the company continues to work on the bugs and the end of September released a beta version of iOS 8.1 for developers to solve the problem with the work which includes support for Bluetooth and payment system Apple Pay. The assurances of some sources, Apple is now simultaneously working on iOS 8.1, 8.2 and 8.3.

Apple is working to implement a recognition feature in iOS 8 tunes, reports Bloomberg. According to the newspaper, the company plans to cooperate with Shazam, service, search for information about the songs. When this feature is implemented in the embedded platform, download the application does not have to.

Bloomberg points out that the technology will collect data on playing songs using microphones iPhone or iPad, it can be cause by referring to Siri. For example, ask what song is playing at the moment. When asked, the system will match the incoming sounds to the microphone to those available in the database, and give the answer.

Implementation of this functionality can be very useful for Apple. A year ago, according to statistics, Shazam was set at 20% iPhone. The application provides a link to track in-store Apple, and many users buy your favorite song overheard. So, the installation of such a functional for all without exception gadgets will have to substantially raise income iTunes Store due to an increase of spontaneous purchases (I heard a song like →→ uploaded).

Also appearing option will draw attention to the iTunes Radio, service for listening to music on a subscription (if any song can be found in it, then it should be used). Increasing the number of users of the product please advertisers.

The company has not yet commented on the collaboration, however, as sources claim, acquisition Shazam speech does not go, the service should continue to work regardless of the iOS 8.

Spring came, and then – it’s time to think about the future of the mobile operating system from Apple. Starting from the known rumors we can expect in the new iOS 8 standard applications like Healthbook and iTunes Radio . According to 9to5Mac, which refer to their own sources, existing applications and functions also will not remain unchanged. Here is a list of expected developments.

Notification Center

Today on translucent curtain, hiding the top of the iOS-devices we have already located three panels: “Today”, “Everything” and “Missing.” According to a source at Apple are thinking about simplification, and if this is true, then the new notification center will be divided into “Today” and “alert.” The last column, as you might guess, will combine new notifications with missing. In my opinion, this is a change that suggests itself, although I admit that someone is useful to separate the missed calls from dozens of game notifications.

Communication between applications

According to rumors, Apple wants to give a great opportunity for third party applications to communicate with each other. We are talking about the possibility of one application to communicate with another. A simple example – the publication of the photos in Instagram or Facebook from your favorite photo editor. This API is already a couple of years to develop and for some reason did not get into iOS 7. We can assume that Apple simply postponed this functionality to better times.

Dictaphone

Rumor has it that some people are unhappy with the new iOS 7 app “Recorder” because of confusing interface. If you believe all the same source, the application will be processed in the next firmware version, and the controls will become more apparent.

Messages

Apple may add automatic removal of your correspondence. People who are actively using iMessage, probably noticed that eventually short text messages begin eat off a big chunk of memory. But in correspondence sent and stored once the photo. Possible function is not mandatory, but if you have nothing to lose, then we can ask the system to self-clean your conversation from time to time.

Game Center

The source reports that the company that created the app Game Center, and kill him. As a version for iOS, and for OS X. It is said that this app is little used. Hard for me to judge since I do not use it at all. If the home screen icon disappears Game Center, and all its functionality will move directly to the game, do not think anyone will be upset.

CarPlay

Function , which appeared recently, are also waiting for the change. Unless, of course, according to the source. IPhone is now ready to be paired with the car supporting CarPlay only via cable Lightning, but in the future will be added to the compounds of the Wi-Fi. It seems to be nothing in the way and no clutter is always pleasant, but on the other hand – it is better to keep your phone charged, and the very essence of CarPlay says that you do not have to pick up the phone at all.

In addition to external changes and promised changes in the firmware. A recent upgrade to iOS 7.1 has significantly accelerated the speed and animations, but they say that is not the limit, 8 and iOS will be even faster. Sure before Tim Cook personally announce the list of changes in the new firmware, we will hear more than a dozen rumors, but I must say – they sound very plausible.
