iOS 9 et iPhone 6s : Force Touch, Apple Pay Canada, etc …

Last week saw
unleash an avalanche of indiscretions onwhat's new
coming from iOS 9
. This week, it continues, with always the same
informant on the job.

Are mentioned today‘iPhone 6sand the "Force Touch",
as well as changes to the keyboard, iMessage and the arrival of Apple Pay
in a first country outside the US:

Mark Gurman's sources confirm that among the specifics of the iPhone
6s, there will be a so-called “Force Touch” screen, this will be supported by a
'taptic' motor which will provide almost tactile feedback. Both are not
not unknown since they were released on the Apple watch and on the
latest Macbooks.

For the record, Force Touch is the ability of the screen to detect a press
normal and a stronger press of the finger on the screen. On the Apple Watch, this
allows access to context menus, more quickly than if the system
had to manage a so-called "long" press. The taptic motor emits vibrations which
make it possible to provide “tactile” feedback to certain elements of the interface and
actions (arriving at the bottom of a list with the wheel for example)

So,iOS 9 will be entirely designed to take advantage of this new
aspect tactile
, and developers should also be able to
take this into account for interactions within applications
third parties
. The objective is to enablesave space
interface level
and replace the "long" presses to access
to context menus. In Plans, this will allow you to place pins, in
the calendar, enter an appointment and search for a word definition
within any content. Among the site's sources, it seems that
these functions are aimed more at "power-users" and are not necessary
to use the iPhone, which corresponds well to the constraint of an OS in front of
work on new machines but also on old ones
devoid of this technology.

An important clarification is finally made on this subject: it is little
likely to be announced at the early WWDC developers conference
June since these functions are linked to the specificities of an iPhone again
secret, which would only be revealed several months later.

The iOS 9 keyboard

With this new version of the system, an update of the touch keyboard
is planned. Several prototypes were tested internally. One of these tests
offers a keyboard announced higher than the current one in portrait format adding
editing functions.

The "quicktype" suggestion keys should be more
accessible.

After multiple delays during the iOS 8 beta, the “Shift” key
would be clarified so that we really know if we are in capitals mode...
or not.

Apple Pay

We are impatiently awaiting this possibility of paying with your smartphone
or his Apple watch. The first country that could benefit from it outside the US
would be Canada! All support (passbook in particular), networks
Canadian banking and credit cards would be implemented in iOS 9.
However, the launch cannot take place before the agreements are
finalized with the banks.

iMessage and other

An important function for fans of the Apple brand,
iMessage will see a number of improvements and additions. Apple
would have updated its internal infrastructure tosupport the accused
reading for group discussions
, but also for sharing
of this information finer:contact par contact.

It would thus become possible to activate reading notification for its
close friends only, but not for work colleagues, for example.

The fate of the appGame Centerwould be back
suspend, with some versions of iOS 9 not integrating it.

Finally, the applicationHealthwould be enriched with new
data that can be stored and tracked.
