WWDC18, the twice yearly Spring Festival Gala in the scientific circle, was officially held, but it was different from what most fans expected. Apple didn't bring us any new hardware this time, Such as the long rumored iPhone SE2. The theme of this conference is software, iOS 12, macOS Mojave, watchOS 5 and tvOS. Next, Let's take a look!

iOS 12

fast

Among the new features of iOS 12, performance is a key point. Apple said that after upgrading iOS 12, the opening speed of applications can be increased by 40%, and the keyboard outgoing speed can be increased by 50%（ ？？？ ）The opening speed of the camera can reach 70%. Even the old flagship iPhone 6 Plus can improve its performance. It may be that it has been hit hard by frequency reduction. Apple has finally learned its lesson this time.

Reality enhancement

Apple has spent a long time explaining AR reality enhancement. Now in iOS 12, developers can create more realistic and interesting reality enhancement applications. From the live presentations of Adobe and Lego, the experience seems good, but the rendering work is very big, and even the powerful iPad Pro presentation is a bit stuck. For ordinary users, just wait until the app created by developers using the new features of iOS 12 comes out.

Siri

Siri, which has been complained about by many fans, has also been improved in iOS 12, with the addition of Shortcut function, which still exists in the form of App. Users can add command statements in the Shortcut application, and add a series of operations on this voice command. Every time the user activates Siri and says the command statement, the system will perform the previously recorded operations. This function is very similar to Workflow. It seems that Apple is going to kill an app again.

For example, the user can give the voice command "I want to go home" and set a series of operations: the system automatically turns on the map navigation to go home, the air conditioner in the home is turned on, and the mobile phone turns on music at the same time. Then, you just need to say the command, and give the rest to iPhone.

Anti addiction（ Screen Time ）

Like the Dashboard on Android P, Apple has also added the anti addiction function in iOS 12（ Screen Time ）。 First of all, users can receive a "mobile phone use report" from the system every week. In the report, users can check how much time they spend on iPhones or iPads every day, how much time they spend on each app, which app has pushed you the most notifications and other reports.

This will help users understand their mobile phone usage. In addition, if you find that you spend too much time watching dithering every day, you can set a maximum usage time for the app. When the time reaches the maximum, the system will pop up a notice to remind users to stop playing.

Notification message

If you always have notification messages from countless apps on your iPhone, the notification message storage function of iOS 12 can help users better organize and view various notification messages. In the notification center, messages from the same app will be stacked together in a stack style, and the notification center will no longer be messy and looks much more comfortable（ Android smiles but does not speak ）。

Minor operations

Animoji is a feature that many iPhone X users like very much. In iOS 12, more Animoji have been added, such as Phantom, Tyrannosaurus Rex and Koala.

But more importantly, Apple has also added a simulation moji - Memoji, which uses the front camera to draw the user's face into an animated expression. Memoji is very similar to Samsung's AR Emoji, but the actual effect looks much more harmonious than the latter. In addition to using it on the information app, you can also use the camera app directly to take photos of Memoji. In addition, you can also use it when making FaceTime calls, which is very similar to many call software today.

When it comes to FaceTime, group chat is finally available, which can support up to 32 people to chat at the same time.

watchOS 5

healthy

In the new version of watchOS, a yoga mode is added for users to choose. In different exercise modes, the Apple Watch will record different information. For example, when choosing yoga mode, the Apple Watch will focus on recording heart rate.

In addition, users can now have a 7-day challenge with their friends. Those who exercise more will win and receive corresponding medals.

walkie-talkie

This function is very retro and interesting. Users can choose their friends to join the talkback list, and then press and hold the "talkback" icon in the dial to realize the same function as the walkie talkie and talk with friends. Although it is not just a need, it is better than fun.

Like iOS 12, Siri can also be used on the Apple Watch to implement the shortcut function. In addition, when using Siri, it is no longer necessary to say "Hey Siri" to activate it. You can directly lift your wrist to start saying commands.

WatchOS 5 supports WebKit. You can view some optimized web pages on Apple Watch, but the experience should be relatively ordinary.

macOS

The new version of macOS is named Mojave, representing the Mojave Desert in California.

In the macOS Mojave, a new night mode is added, which is a blessing for users who often need to use Mac in a dark environment. After all, this is a function that even iOS does not use. What's more, this night mode can also adjust the light and darkness according to the actual time.

The Mac App Store has also been redesigned. Now it is somewhat similar to the App Store on iOS, and can better display each app on the home page. Microsoft and Adobe also said that their own applications will be launched in the Mac App Store, namely Office 365 and Lightroom CC.

Speaking of applications, Apple has been trying to transplant iOS applications to the Mac in a perfect way. New applications in the MacOS Mojave, such as news, stock, home and other apps, appear on the Mac in this way. Maybe in the future, more and more excellent iOS apps can be used on the Mac.

In addition, macOS Mojack has many new functions, such as stacks that can help users better organize their desktops, more powerful screenshots, and Finder.
