Apple’s iOS 11 comes with some interesting new features. We have already seen a video of the new control center and the app store. These updates are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the enhancements and improvements that iOS 11 brings to the table.
The new video is from the guys over at MacRumors and it gives us a look at the changes that are coming to the camera app and also the photos app in iOS 11. You can see the video below.
New Photo and Video Formats
In iOS 11, Apple will use new photo and video formats, HEIF (High Efficiency Image Format) for photos and HEVC (High Efficiency Video Coding) for videos. This will reduce the size of photos and videos by around 50 percent. One of the focuses of their new OS is to reduce the amount of storage that is used on your iPhone or iPad. This is a significant improvement, especially for users who frequently run out of storage space due to large photo and video libraries.
The HEIF format is designed to improve upon the older JPEG format by providing better image quality at smaller file sizes. Similarly, HEVC, also known as H.265, offers better compression than the older H.264 standard, allowing for higher quality video at reduced file sizes. This means users can store more photos and videos on their devices without compromising on quality.
Enhanced Camera and Photos App
The camera app in iOS 11 also comes with several new features and improvements. For instance, there are new filters that allow users to enhance their photos with a single tap. These filters are designed to take advantage of the new HEIF format, providing better color accuracy and detail.
Additionally, the Photos app has been updated with new editing tools and features. Users can now make more precise adjustments to their photos, such as adjusting brightness, contrast, and saturation. There is also a new feature called “Memories,” which automatically creates curated collections of photos and videos based on events, locations, and people. This makes it easier for users to relive their favorite moments and share them with friends and family.
Another notable feature is the improved Live Photos. In iOS 11, users can now edit Live Photos, adding effects such as loop, bounce, and long exposure. This adds a new level of creativity to the photos, allowing users to create more dynamic and engaging content.
Apple previously mentioned that they would release their new iOS 11 sometime this fall. The company has not given an exact release date for the OS. However, based on past release patterns, it is likely that iOS 11 will be available around the same time as the new iPhones.
We are expecting Apple to launch their new iPhones sometime in September. These will come with iOS 11, so we can expect existing devices to get the update around the same time. This means that users with compatible devices will be able to enjoy all the new features and improvements that iOS 11 has to offer.
In conclusion, iOS 11 brings a host of new features and improvements to the iPhone and iPad. From new photo and video formats to enhanced camera and photos apps, there is a lot to look forward to. With the expected release of the new iPhones in September, it won’t be long before users can experience all that iOS 11 has to offer.
