The most practical and amazing function in iOS 15 is "live text", which can easily extract and quickly apply the text in photos. Whether it's a picture being taken by the camera, a shot, a screen shot or a webpage picture, the text can be displayed by clicking the photo in the whole system, which supports copying, pasting, searching and translation. For example, when the camera is turned on, the symbol of "live text" will appear when the camera recognizes the text, and you can operate the text content by clicking it. Information such as telephone number and geographical location also supports being recognized as a link for quick jump.
You can recognize words when you take pictures. In Douban, Memo and other apps, double-click the input box and select "Text from camera". You can also call the camera to recognize the text.
Calling the camera in the input box can directly identify the text album, and long pressing the text in the picture can quickly select it. From the experience of these months, the recognition accuracy is very high, and handwritten fonts can also be recognized.
Identify pictures in photo albums, words and pictures in web pages.
Identify the text in the picture of a web page. At present, "live text" has supported seven languages: English, Chinese (traditional and simplified), French, Italian, German, Spanish and Portuguese, and can be operated across iPhone, iPad and Mac.
Thanks to Apple's dynamic head tracking technology, another big surprise given by iOS 15 is the more extreme "spatial audio" immersion experience brought by AirPods Pro/AirPods Max. What is "spatial audio"? Put the surround sound channel in the right position accurately, and it is no problem to rotate your head or move your device at will, bringing an immersive surround sound experience. When iOS 14 was released a year ago, the function of "spatial audio" was added, but the sound source was limited and could only be realized under the application conditions of Apple TV+ and Tencent video. The upgraded version of "spatial audio" function in iOS 15 is no longer limited to Dolby panoramic sound of Apple Music. Even using QQ music and Netease cloud music to listen to songs, AirPods Pro/AirPods Max can also simulate the sound into a three-dimensional presentation, with excellent experience and full of praise.
Netease Cloud Music can also experience stereo sound.
After updating iOS 15, the notification has brought the most obvious change. A. the appearance is before iOS 15, and only the iMessage icon is displayed when receiving SMS notification. In the new version, the notification banner not only shows the contact photos directly, but also enlarges with the original app icon, so you will be able to clearly distinguish and view messages.
Pay attention to the appearance contrast. On the left is iOS 14.6, and on the right is IOs15 b. The newly added "notification summary" function is very personalized. Open "Settings >; Notifications > push summary regularly ",select the app according to the prompt, set the time and frequency, and it can send a group of notifications in batches at the specified time, and intelligently arrange them in sequence.
You don't have to worry about missing friends' messages because of this function when setting the notification digest, because most of the contents summarized in the notification digest belong to "non-urgent notifications" with relatively low priority, while messages with strong timeliness, such as WeChat messages and short messages, will be delivered immediately and promoted to the top.
C. Before silencing the notification, slide the notification to the left. After selecting "Manage", there are only two options: "Implicit Push" and "Close …". IOS 15 has added options such as "Silence for an hour" and "Don't remind me today", and supports temporarily closing information clues, which is more humanized.
Comparison of notification management. On the left is iOS 14.6, and on the right is iOS 15.
There is also a "focus mode" to enhance the notification function. As the name implies, "focus mode" can help you better focus on important information, upgraded from the previous "Do Not Disturb Mode", through "Settings >"; Focus can preset your status, such as driving, fitness, reading, games, sleeping or custom categories, and set different types of information display preferences according to your own needs.
For example, if you click the icon above to preset the game, you will open the mobile game "Peace Elite" and start the game focus mode. At this point, except for members and apps that you are allowed to send message notifications, other notifications will be temporarily blocked to reduce the impact on your game. A. There are two ways to notify to start "focus mode": intelligent activation: in Settings >; Focus "can be selected, and the focus mode of the corresponding state will be automatically turned on according to signals such as positioning and app use; Manual opening: Slide from the upper right direction of the screen to open the control center, and click the focus mode.
Turn on Focus Mode manually. If a message from a non-default member enters at this time, your iMessage will show that you have turned on "focus mode" and can't receive messages for the time being. It is worth mentioning that after turning on the "focus mode" in different States on the iPhone, the notification display will be synchronized to other Apple devices. B. Home screen In addition to notifications, the focus mode can even rearrange the home screen of your iPhone. When you turn on focus mode, you can create the home screen pages of the required applications and widgets, so as to display related applications and reduce interference.
Set the home screen to focus mode.
IOS 15' s global focus can search for pictures, because there is a "live text" function, and it can even recognize the text information in pictures. You can easily display similar photos by inputting terms such as "cat", "flower" and "cloud".
Enter some words in the picture, which can also be presented quickly.
A. The memory mashup iOS 15 version of the photo recall function also ushered in a big update. In addition to the brand-new appearance and interactive interface, Apple Music is also integrated into it. Your album can be the soundtrack recommended by Apple Music, or you can choose your favorite songs from your playlist. Open the photo album, select the "Recommended to You" tab, and select any "Memories" to see the dynamic interactive effect generated by the system improvisation, and switch with the music beat. If you want to customize the "memory mixing" effect, try the latest online "memory mixing" function to scan the carousel transformation effect. The system will intelligently match the rhythm and transition effect, and will give professional color matching settings.
Memory mixing function in photo recall B. Property viewing In previous versions of iOS, if you want to view the properties of album photos, you often need to use some third-party apps to complete it. Now, Apple has added the photo album search function to the photo album of iOS 15. Click "I" in the bottom column of the photo album page, and the information of the photos you have taken will be clear at a glance.
The social attribute of iMessage is getting stronger and stronger. In iOS 15, iMessage adds sharing function. When you share photos, Safari, Apple News, Apple Music, podcasts and Apple TV app with your friends through iMessage, they will automatically appear in the corresponding apps. In addition, iMessage also supports reading and playing lists of these applications. The new version of iMessage also supports the collection of multiple photos. A few photo collections display collages that can be browsed, and a large number of photo collections are displayed as stacks. When you click on a photo collection, you can reply under it. IMessage of iOS 15 has also added the pushpin "Top" function, which can quickly fix the content you are particularly interested in in iMessage.
On WWDC2 1, Safari also ushered in a completely reconstructed design, which became more beautiful and easy to use. The design of the new Safari tab is more compact, and it also supports the tab group function. The buttons have also been greatly simplified, and the main color of the page will be automatically picked up, so that the window and the webpage can be integrated and look more immersive.
Flexible Safari Tabs In addition, Safari adopts a brand-new tab bar design, which can classify and save complex tabs, or drag and drop them into emails to share with friends. Labels no longer mechanically stay on the tab bar, but become pages that can be moved and stored, just like pages. And the tag group supports seamless synchronization between multiple devices, and changes on any device can be synchronized to all devices in time. Maybe you can really put down Chrome and try Safari this time. It's very hard.
As Craig Federighi summarized in WWDC2 1, the updated FaceTime is more "natural, comfortable and real". A. spatial audio FaceTime naturally supports the "spatial audio" mode. Imagine that you are sitting on the sofa and your friends are scattered around you. You can feel them around with your ears, far or near. This is what FaceTime wants to make you feel, so that you can communicate face to face. B. Portrait mode is just like taking a portrait with an iPhone native camera. You can also turn on portrait mode in FaceTime and video, which can blur the background and highlight yourself.
When portrait mode is turned on, the background will be blurred. C. Speech highlight mode/wide spectrum mode Speech highlight mode means that the microphone highlights the noise around the speaker's vocal cords, which brings good noise reduction effect. The broad spectrum mode is just the opposite. If you want your friends to hear the songs of the live band and the barking of the dog next door, then this mode will be more suitable. When you are making a FaceTime call with a friend, slide the screen down from the upper right corner to open the control center. You can choose voice highlight mode or wide spectrum mode in microphone mode.
A. Amplifier In iOS 15, the "amplifier" function originally in the "auxiliary function" has become an app independently. It is equivalent to a digital magnifying glass, and you can customize the brightness, contrast and various filters.
The "Magnifier" app operation demonstration sounds like zooming in when taking pictures. In fact, the effect of "amplifier" is much better, and the font will be clearer and easier to identify. It's convenient to take a PPT and take notes during the class meeting, and look up some "anti-human design" menus or instructions. If the brightness and contrast are improved, and then the gray filter is selected, the effect similar to that of a scanner can be achieved.
Above is the camera amplification effect, and below is the amplifier amplification effect. B. picture description for visually impaired people, apple's "accessibility >": narration > narration recognition > picture description is a very practical function, which can identify pictures in websites or apps and describe them by voice. In iOS 14, this function only supports English. Fortunately, iOS 15 recently added support for Chinese.
On the left is iOS 15, and on the right is iOS 14.6. For example, if you open a photo of a puppy in a bicycle basket in Photos, the "narrator" will recognize the image content and read out the photo information, "Brown dog is sitting in a chair". Although there are still some deviations, the accuracy is very good.
Pay attention to the words read by the narrator at the bottom of the picture. C. Voice control is "Why can't these people wait to upgrade iOS 15? In the article, Huang Junwen, a visually impaired person, told us that auxiliary function >; Chinese support has also been added to the voice control function. This means that a short video product like Tik Tok, which slides the page up and down, can switch through dictation after setting the basic gestures; Similar to the operation that needs to find a button to complete, it can be realized quickly by saying the command.
Open the new weather app and you will find that the layout has changed a lot. Yes, Apple redesigned the weather app, and the new interface provides more information content, including more graphic display of weather data, full-screen map and dynamic layout, which will change accordingly according to the specific situation. The animated background of the new weather app is very exquisite, which can accurately reflect the position and rainfall of the sun. When it starts to rain and snow, when it ends, you can receive notifications through iPhone, which is still very user-friendly.

IOS 15 adds a series of mimetic expressions. More than 40 kinds of new clothes can be used, such as heart-shaped, star-shaped and retro-shaped glasses frames, different colors for left and right eyes, waving hands, flashing light, and so on. It is worth mentioning that this time Apple also released three kinds of barrier-free stickers for the disabled, including cochlear implants, oxygen tubes and soft helmets.
Cochlear implants, oxygen tubes and soft helmets are in my expression.
In previous iOS 14, the operation of setting alarm clock was changed from rotating dial to input mode based on numeric keyboard. In iOS 15, Apple changed the alarm clock setting interface again. Now, before going to sleep, you can easily set the alarm clock by dragging the dial up and down through the pleasant vibration of Taptic Engine.
14. Functions to be connected
The official version of Apple's iOS 15 arrived as scheduled, but it was not the full version. According to wccftech, some functions mentioned in WWDC2 1 are not fully ready, and will be provided in the update of subsequent versions. A. SharePlay in face time If you have used conference tools such as Zoom and Corporate WeChat, you will feel very cordial about the new SharePlay *** experience function of Facetime. SharePlay is divided into several aspects: watching together, that is, watching movies and TV programs with friends at the same time; Listen together, share music with friends while FaceTime, play it synchronously and enjoy the music queue; Share the screen, etc.
Listen to music with FaceTime's SharePlay function. B. the search network supports AirPods. AirPods is not just a "space sound", you can even save money for an AirTag. In the search app of iOS 15, AirPods can locate by using the Bluetooth information of the search network, and AirPods set to lost mode can give a prompt whether it is in the charging box or not.
The C wallet electronic identity wallet app will add various keys to the daily location. For example, villas, apartments, workplaces, wallets can all be added with a badge, and you can enter the building or office with a little click. When traveling, the wallet app will automatically add a room card. Starting from this autumn, more than 1,000 hotels of Hyatt Group around the world will access this service, and many brands of locks and access control systems will also be connected one after another. In addition, the digitalization of ID card is just needed to replace the physical ID card. At present, Arizona and Georgia have taken the lead in supporting the storage of digital driver's license and ID card data on the iPhone. Connecticut and Iowa also plan to follow suit.
Adding a driver's license to iPhone wallet D. Visual search is more than just text. It is said that the deep neural network that realizes "living text" can complete the work of "visual search". However, this function is still not available in Chinese mainland. According to the introduction, just slide up or click on the information button "I" with a small star on any photo, and you can quickly search for information through Siri, including plants and flowers, dog breeds, artworks, books, landmarks around the world and so on.
By introducing the new functions of iMore 15, we can see that Apple is still evolving from the dimensions of ease of use and humanization. Whether you can share your favorite content with friends, go to social iMessage, or remind you of rain and thunder in time and worry about the weather and map of your commuting site, it can prove this point well. Attached below are models that support iOS updates. We can see that iPhone 6s, iPhone SE and other models also support updates, but we can't experience all the functions.
It is worth mentioning that Apple official website introduced that starting from iOS 15, you can choose whether to stay in iOS 14 or upgrade to a big version. If your iPhone has insufficient storage space and an older model, you can consider continuing to upgrade only iOS 14.
The left picture shows official website's introduction, and the right picture shows that you can choose whether to upgrade to iOS 15. In the process of experiencing the beta version of iOS 15 in recent months, we occasionally get fever when using iPhone 1 1, iPhone 12 Pro Max and other models, and the battery life has not been significantly improved.
