Apple launches 'Do Not Disturb While Driving'

Adjust Comment Print

But the best new addition for people using the iPad in a professional setting may be the operating system's new feature that allows users to mark up virtually documents that they can access on their iPads using the Apple Pencil.

The iPad is also much lighter (470g), you don't need to travel with a heavy charger, can record 4K video and works better with your iPhone (you can use the same apps).

With iOS 11, Apple has not left any stone unturned it seems! But it appears things are finally about to change.

Federighi said this new feature will help make drivers more safe.

Apple says that it plans to refocus the App Store on games and user navigation in an effort to solve one of the digital platform's main problems: app discovery. Other devices that will get the update include- iPhones ( iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus, iPhone 6, iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus, iPhone SE and iPhone 5s); tablets (iPad Pro, iPad Air, iPad Air 2, iPad, iPad mini 4, iPad mini 3 and iPad mini 2); and iPod Touch. So it senses when you are driving and it turns your iPhone to the "do not disturb" mode.

Hence, the iPhone 5S and newer devices will receive the upgrade.

Next iOS update will not be available to iPhone 5 owners
Apple's new mobile operating system now enables French, Chinese, Italian, English and German translations via the new Siri. The top new features of the iOS 11 include the changes made to iMessages as well as the launching of the latest Apple Pay.

Apple says it does not want its customers using its products while driving and so has introduced a "Do Not Disturb While Driving" mode that will be activated when the phone senses the user is in a vehicle. That's probably because Apple is known to lag behind Google, Microsoft and others in machine learning.

With this change coming with iOS 11 in September, nothing is going to stop you from releasing updates early and often.

Originally spotted by Cydia Geeks, when enabled, the Offload Unused Apps feature will remove apps that you never use, while keeping their documents and data on your device.

This wants the developers to utilize the kit to make remarkable realistic apps that are using augmented reality.

Think mobile payments, but also hotel room access, or instant one-tap access to a Wi-Fi network (Android users have been playing around with NFC tags for years of course). Granted, it's a feature that should've been introduced when Apple still made 16GB iOS devices, but it's nice to have.

The iPhone control center, lock screen, and notification center are all getting major visual redesigns, with an eye toward offering more information to the user. A blue bar at the top will let you know how long you've been recording by showing a time stamp.
