Michal Ždanský We will see the presentation of iOS 6 in just a week. However, not much is known about the upcoming system. There are certain indications that we will see a new map application using map backgrounds directly from Apple and that the default color tuning of applications will be changed to a silver shade. In addition, there are a lot of features that we would like they wished, so that they appear in the new version of the operating system.
Thanks to the convergence of iOS and OS X, some things can be guessed now. The Mountain Lion developer preview has been out for some time now, and all the features that Apple has provided to developers in the preview are known. Some of them are definitely applicable to iOS as well, and their appearance would be a natural extension of the existing ones. Server 9to5Mac in addition, he rushed to "confirm" some features from their source, which does not necessarily add to the credibility of the information, but is definitely worth mentioning.
Notifications and Do Not Disturb
It appeared in one of the last updates of the Mountain Lion developer preview a new function named Do not disturb. It refers to the notification center, activating it turns off the display of all notifications and thus allows the user to work undisturbed. This feature could also appear in iOS. There are times when incoming notifications just annoy you, whether it's while you're sleeping or in a meeting. With one click, you could temporarily disable the notification of incoming notifications. It wouldn't hurt if it could be switched off and timed, i.e. set a silent clock during the night, for example.
Safari - Omnibar and panel synchronization
A significant change in Safari in Mountain Lion is the so-called Omnibar. A single address bar where you can enter specific addresses or start a search. It's almost a shame that Safari is the last browser yet to provide this now-common feature. However, the same Omnibar could also appear in the iOS version of the browser. There is no reason why addresses and search keywords have to be written in a different field every time. In fact, it would be more Apple-esque.
The second feature should be panels in iCloud. This function allows you to synchronize open pages in the browser with other devices, i.e. both between Macs and between iOS devices. Synchronization would be provided by the iCloud service. It's just a shame you have to use desktop Safari for this feature. Many users, including myself, prefer an alternative web browser, after all the most used browser in the world is currently Chrome.
Among other things, we will also have options saving pages offline for their later reading.
Mail and VIP
The Mail application in Mountain Lion allows you to create a list of VIP contacts. Thanks to this function, you will see incoming e-mails from selected people highlighted. At the same time, you can filter the mail display to only contacts from the VIP list. Many people have been calling for this feature for a long time and it should appear in iOS as well. The VIP lists would then be synced to the Mac via iCloud. An e-mail client would need to be rebuilt from the ground up anyway to cope with e.g Sparrow for iPhone.
All the mentioned functions are, of course, only speculative until the official launch of iOS 6, and we will have a definitive confirmation only at WWDC 2012, where the keynote will start on June 11 at 19 p.m. our time. Jablíčkář traditionally mediates a live transcript of the entire presentation for you.
in that iPhone 5 photo?! :D :D
Well, the purpose of the photo was to show the omnibar in Safari, but apparently people are more attached to their phones :-)
To be honest, this phone design is stricter ;) I would just leave the camera next to the speaker, the thinner profile with the black steel band is the bomb ;) but a silver one wouldn't mind either.
And I would happily eat that omnibar ;)
Well, mainly to synchronize them in Safari "Favorites", or as it is called in Safari.
I'm looking at reading an article in time in three weeks :D? You probably hit that iPhone according to the leaked photos, almost one hundred percent :D!
First news: finally! I really miss this function and especially my wife :) I would also welcome the time setting.
The second news: Great, but as you say, I use Chrome...
Third news: I use Sparrow.
