While the iPhone users are still enjoying the new features brought to their devices by the iOS 7.1, it is no secret that the next version of the iOS, the iOS 8, is expected to arrive later this year. There has been a lot of speculation regarding what the newest version of the iOS would bring forth. Now, what is believed to be a leaked iOS 8 picture, gives us an idea about what to expect from the new software. It also confirms the speculation about some of the anticipated features.
The picture was shared on the famous Chinese social network, Weibo. It shows us some of the new apps that the iPhone users will be able to see in the iOS 8, and also confirms the reports to some of the apps that we’ve been talking about previously. You can see the leaked iOS 8 picture below.
The first app that I can’t personally help but notice is the Healthbook. It had been long expected that the iOS 8 will contain features that’ll strongly focus on fitness. The reports claimed that the iOS 8 will let you measure your blood pressure, glucose levels and also the heart rate. The measurements would then be kept as a record in your personal Healthbook that you can view to keep track of your health. Besides these features, it may also have the long awaited iWatch integrated with it. These features were expected to be amalgamated and put into a new app called Healthbook, and there you see it in the leaked iOS 8 picture.
Furthermore, the picture shows us ‘Preview’ and ‘TextEdit’. These two are the iOS versions of the exiting OS X apps that Apple has already provided for the Mac users. As far as their functionality is concerned, they’re expected to let users view or edit their files that are present in the iCloud.
One more enhancement that can be expected from the iOS 8 would be related to the Apple Maps. Apple Maps have been on the receiving end of a lot of criticism as of late and Apple has plans to completely overhaul the service. This can be an indication of Apple’s desire to go up against the highly acclaimed Google Maps. The new and improved Apple Maps will include the public transit directions which will make the finding of frequently visited locations by the general public more easy.
What the leaked iOS 8 image shows us will surely not be all that the iOS 8 will bring to the table. We’ll let you know more as further details surface while the countdown to the arrival of the iOS 8 continues.
Would love to here from you...
