iOS 8 Beta, Rumors, Concept & Release: After iOS 7 Overhaul, Apple Not Expected To Revamp iOS 8 Interface; Notifications, Maps App Rumored To Change
Apple received mixed reviews with its vast changes to its iOS operating system when it made the shift from iOS 6 to iOS 7. Will the tech giant make fewer adjustments when it comes out with iOS 8?
According to CultureMob, the new iOS 8 operating system will probably not have a completely different interface like iOS 7 did. From battery draining complaints to suddenly slow iPhones, iOS 7 brought on some extreme changes for some users. This is a good explanation as to why the company is not expected to revamp the interface, but what about the rest of the features and information regarding the next version of the operating system?
One change that we can expect to see is with notifications. CultureMob reported that the Notification Center might be revamped and reorganized with two tabs called "Today" and "Notifications." None of this is confirmed, however, since Apple rarely likes to comment on things that are soon to be released.
Perhaps the best rumored change is with the maps app, which has not been as reliable as people have hoped. There are a number of changes in store for the app, but rumors have suggested that the next iOS operating system release after iOS 8 could feature a maps app with indoor GPS capabilities.
Apple is expected to announce some information about iOS 8 at the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference, which is slated for June of this year and it will be taking place in San Francisco.
