My initial impressions include:
iOS 12
My initial impressions include:
iOS 12
- speed improvements via changes acceleration profiles
- a new image format/standard for screen capture including video offering file size reductions of up to a n order of magnitude
- ARKit (augmented reality available to developers
- Stunning 3D
- Major developers such as Adobe and Lego already have products in beta using ARKit technologies
- new builtin apps (include potentially very useful new functionalities)
- major enhancements in iTunes and Photos including lots of AI
- enhanced interoperability between iOS devices and MacOS devices (MacOS app can open the iPhone camera and grab the image seamlessly),
- security enhancements,
- Siri enhancements including opening Siri up to third party developers for use
- new Animoji,
- Memoji (your custom animoji
- new customization features,
- new App Store,
- Facetime with up to 32 different people in the same conversation (IMHO this is HUGE)
- Third party navigation apps available in CarPlay (at long last)
- Measure: an app to accurately measure objects in one, two, or three dimensions (I can already envision hundreds of uses for this app at home, in the workshop, just about everywhere)
- offers universal dark mode (This was a huge hit with the developers who spend their lives staring at computer screens)
- dynamic desktop that changes the UI color to match the outside lighting
- desktop stacks (at long last a quick and automatic way to organize all those icons on the desktop)
- gallery view in Finder (could be very useful for certain kinds of files
- Markup in Quicklook with several builtin and very powerful actions as well as user created actions, workflows, etc.
- changes in the UIKit that make it easier for iOS apps to be ported to MacOS (look for a slew of iOS apps to show up on MacOS)
- News & Home from iOS now available on Mojave thanks to the changes in the UIKit. (about time too)
- new App Store
