IOS 3.0 was released with iPhone 3GS in June 2009, with no particularly significant new features. But after two years of modification, Apple has filled a lot of functional gaps in iOS. IOS has become versatile and omnipotent.

Cut, copy, and paste

In iOS3.0, Apple introduced a new, metaphorical touch for text selection-and before that, stylus was much easier to use than a mobile phone. Apple combines a selection slider and a magnifying glass to make the operation intuitive, easy to understand, and easy to touch. As a result, Apple has once again outperformed its competitors and improved the usability of the iOS through interactive innovation. To be honest, users wanted this feature for a long time, but Apple didn't rush it. Apple slow workers were able to do fine work and keep improving interface design until iOS 3.0.

Spotlight search

In previous iOS, finding content was relatively troublesome, so it was necessary to develop an internal search function. Spotlight search is: when the user drags to the right (that is, the screen moves to the left), the user gets a text box that can search for contacts, emails, calendars, notes, iPod. More options were added later, but Apple eventually created a common smartphone feature: fast search on the home screen (which was available in both BlackBerry,PalmOs,webOS and Windows Mobile at the time)

Push notification function for third-party applications.

Although Apple originally intended to introduce this feature in iOS 2.0, it did not implement it, and eventually introduced it in iOS3.0. The push notification function of the Apple platform also surpasses the similar functions of many competitors. Push notification is when the program is temporarily closed (this time is usually multitasking), a window will pop up on the desktop to tell you about the temporary closure of the program. However, a new problem arises, and the modal dialog box that pops up immediately can disturb the user.

Apple also added support for MMS, although by mid-2009, this feature was no longer so important to users.

Other features added to iOS include video recording, horizontal keyboard, voice memo application, remote clearing, Bluetooth headset, sharing via Bluetooth or USB network, and so on.

Another standard feature of smartphones, voice dialing, is finally implemented in iOS3.0. Apple has gone further in voice control, not only dialing, but also selecting songs by voice. Apple's voice control function also supports a wide range of languages.

The purpose of iOS 3 is to make up for the deficiencies and improve all the function points that users complain about.

Taking advantage of the performance of iPhone, a large number of application program interfaces (APIs) are added to SDK.

IOS1 builds the platform, iOS2 introduces applications, and iOS 3 aims to make up for deficiencies and improve all the function points that users complain about. With upgrades after upgrades, Apple has succeeded in surpassing its competitors in functionality. Apple's way is not to let the function lead the system, but to let the system lead the function. Apple only retains the most outstanding features, constantly optimized, the result of greed is indigestible.

IOS 3 upgrade

A few months later, Apple released iOS3.1, adding more features, including remote locking, ringtone download, iTunes Genius Mix, Bluetooth voice control. IOS3.13 was released in February 2010, which is the earliest version of iPhone 2G and a system upgrade of iPod Touch***: these two devices will not be supported in subsequent system upgrades.

IOS 3.2: the arrival of iPad

IOS encounters big screen

Apple's old routine has not been broken, and major upgrades to iOS have been linked to the release of new devices. This time iOS3.2 is released with iPad. The main purpose of iOS3.2 is to add customization features to iOS to match the resolution of the new screen on iPad. IOS3.2 includes a new horizontal home screen, a new pop-up dialog box, and so on.

A new UI specification is provided for large screen devices.

In order to better transplant iOS to iPad, Apple did not completely copy the UI of iPhone, but added and deleted specifically for the characteristics of the large screen. The most prominent logo is the sidebar design. Generally speaking, the applied controls provide a drop-down menu of content (below). Apple moved the drop-down menu to the left, while the content was on the right. There is no need to "cancel" the drop-down menu, so that the menu will not block the content and make it easier for users to read. In previous versions of the system, the drop-down menu blocked the content, and users needed to cancel the drop-down menu after reading it before they could continue to read.

Brand-new application design.

Many of Apple's core applications have been modified for iPad,iOS. Bookmarks for Safari, CoverFlow for app stores, the arrangement of photos in photo apps, and music apps that are more simplified and similar to the iTunes interface. Apple designers can "teach students in accordance with their aptitude" according to different devices, and reasonably adjust the effect of the same application on different platforms. If it is just copied, then iPad gives people the impression that it is only an expanded version of "iPhone", and the big screen should have a better experience.

Mimic design.

With the beginning of iOS3.2, the pseudo-object direction of iOS is becoming more and more obvious. The notebook uses a leather edge, which looks a little similar to a real-life notebook. Calendar and address book apps also look real. Many people are not optimistic about this style, thinking that this style is very "mountain cannon" and very corny, while the problem is that some imitation designs are only beautiful, not functional, and have nothing to do with the interface. For example, the address book looks like a book, but it doesn't work according to the way you flip through books in your life, causing a lot of misleading. This appearance style has been maintained for a long time, and even affected the design style of Mac OS X.

Despite all the efforts of designers, there has been a lot of criticism of iPad: it's just a big version of iPhone. Admittedly, the criticism is partly true. IOS 3.2 is not good enough: the home screen icons are still arranged according to the iPhone grid (although the iPad screen can hold more icons); and some basic interaction issues.

Criticism is criticism, but iPad sales are still in junior high school.

IOS 3.2***iPad, the difference between iOS and iPhone is actually very small.
