Hi everyone, Aaron here for Zollotech. Many of us fondly remember the past
iOSes and I thought I'd compare iOS 9, 10 and 11
and kind of go over those changes that have been brought about over the years.
Most of us pretty much think that iOS 10 was the more stable release with iOS 10.3.3
and 11 of course got really buggy, but they added quite a few features
and then iOS 9 seems to have been mostly forgotten. So here what we have is an iPhone 6+,
an iPhone 6.
And this is running iOS 9, 10 and then an iPhone 8+ which is running iOS 11.
So each of these are running the respective versions
This is what I could find with these particular versions on it currently and this one has been
on iOS 9 since I was using it last so
Let's quickly show you how you can check those versions, and you do that by the control center here
And you'll see that's where the differences are. Now each one of us has our own favorites
I actually like iOS 9 the most just because I like that look
But a lot of people fondly remember this one and a lot of people like this one for its customization
This is what we're at and stuck with now unless you're on an older version
And I've got auto brightness on all of them
Just so that it's fairly consistent as far as the way they look now with the control centers
Obviously the design you can see some of the design has changed
across the years and that carries across into a lot of other things such as music for example, so Apple changed
iOS music or iOS 9's music this is iOS 10 like I said
So if we go into music here we can go to "New" or "For You" playlists, and we can go to our library
And of course go to "My Music" they're in different places, different icons; all sorts of things. If we go to "Artists",
you'll see it just looks completely different, and I still like iOS 9's look the most
since they changed it. That's just my preference. They made everything big with this version, and it's my least favorite of all of them
But it is what it is as far as what we have now and of course, iOS
11 really doesn't look too much different as far as the music part goes now
They also changed news with these versions too, so if we go into the News app. Let's go into "News"
So if we go to "News" here and then "News" here
And these are the front pages that come up on each of them
Let me turn Wi-Fi back on and you can do this under airplane mode. It doesn't turn it off fully
Otherwise, but let's go ahead and see if we can go back and forth there we go
This is what the main sites look like now again
iOS 9 10 and 11
You can see the slight changes over the years the same stories of course I again like iOS 9
But I'd love to hear which ones you like
Throughout the years as well in the comments below
Now each one of these brought Siri enhancements the best Siri enhancements are on the newest version
And I really like the voice they've changed it quite a bit so we can do this here
What's the time?
[SIRI] The time is 10:42PM
What's the time?
[SIRI] It's 10:32PM. Good evening.
What time is it?
[SIRI] It's 10:32 PM. Good evening, Aaron.
You can see each one of them is presented a little bit different each one of them has their own
greeting. They're all a little bit different and Apple just keeps updating these they've gotten more
intelligent over the time and the voice was redesigned with iOS 11.
Now search is a little bit different on each of them,
what it searches. They look similar on all of them.
They're giving your your app suggestions but they search more and more when you're searching over here, so if we search for
say, "Zollotech"
You'll see that's me.
And under search,
this is what it looks like now so each one of them is slightly different
And that's my original logo if you're not familiar with it from 2008.
And so
That's what search looks like on these different devices
I still again, for some reason, like iOS 9
But most people are going to have their obvious choice many people say they favor iOS 10. I'm just curious
what they're going to change next with iOS 12.
Supposedly there's going to be a big redesign
but let's continue on: they made changes to Apple Pay, they also made changes to the Home app for example so
Depending on which version we're talking about there wasn't a Home app with iOS 9, but we do have the Home app here.
Now, I don't have anything set up on the home on iOS 10, but on iOS 11
I do you can see that all the lights around and
This one just doesn't have a Home app you have to use individual apps for this particular one.
Now, this isn't going to load scenes because I don't have any but they've increased
What it does over the years as well. Now one of the major changes
They've made is iMessage enhancements especially with iOS 10 and 11 so for example with iOS 9
Let me open messages on all three of these
So with all three of these you can see the messages app is a little bit different here
we just have your typical messages app. On iOS 10, we have a few more options
we can push in 3D touch on that and get some different effects or screen effects and
then Apple continued to add them with iOS 11. They added some new ones so if we go into here
we've just got more options for example. You'll see there's more dots
There's more options that we didn't have on this one
And then there's just added effects and things like that this one is a more squared-off look
They've rounded things with this particular version of iOS and again continue to refine it over here.
Over here we don't have suggestions on iOS 9 so you're lacking that as well
So it's just gotten more and more features as it goes along
Now the Maps app is very different on all of them as well. You can see iOS 9 again has a completely different look and
They've really improved it with iOS 11 and 10 and 11 so
This one says "Data from TomTom and others"
We've come a long way when it comes to this so we'll go back to the map and see where we're at here
But you get the idea
We've added
transit updates for different locations around the world so if you're using the subways for example you have all sorts of data for that and
Indoor maps with iOS 11 depending on what's been added for certain malls and things like that
So there's been a lot of very big improvements to them over the years in slight design changes as well
Now of course there was Apple CarPlay that was added and that's been updated with iOS 11 maps is much better
And it gives speed and things like that
I can't show you that right now
But they've just continually made Maps better as far that goes now the phone app is a little bit different as well
You'll see the dialers are all a little bit different, and this one's more. Just flat gray this one's more translucent
this one's very similar and
Everything is just slightly differently tweaked
I'm not going to show you my contacts of course
But I think you get the idea that they just keep refining the design
Now notifications is one of the things where I think Apple could really improve
And you can easily tell the differences between them if I bring them down they just brought the home screen on, iOS
11 they ungrouped everything and most people are pretty upset about that
We had notifications on iOS 10 that were in groups at least and then iOS 9 was much more
I guess Android-like as far as its notifications are concerned
So you'll see this is grouped for Friday today some SoundCloud notifications
and you can click and it'll go right into them, but
Notifications could be really improved and has been changed over the years and actually made worse in most people's opinion
Now if I open the App Stores on all of these you'll see it's pretty much the same on iOS 9 and 10
But iOS 11 bought a major change to the App Store, which is really nice. I think
That looks the best as far as the app stores are concerned, and I think that's a move in the right direction
I would assume that newer versions might look that way as well
Safari has been updated on all of them, Mail's been improved across the years
and I think
these little
Incremental changes most of them are good for the most part as far as things like speed with Core ML on iOS 11 the new
APFS filesystem on iOS 11
there's a lot of things in the background that really speed everything up overall and
There's been enhancements to the camera and all sorts of things
but I think what we want to see in the future is like I said unified notifications would be my want and
The next thing would be more
customization of the homescreen these widgets things like that bring the widgets to the home screen and
also a new control center design new design, that's less flat and sterile and
Get rid of this volume control so when you use the volume it overlaps here on
An iPhone X for example you've got the notches
You could just put it up there, or you could just change it up to here. It's just really strange
It's right in the middle of the screen especially when you're watching a video or something like that
So those are just a major little things that I would like to see other than an overhaul to the design
now as far as the speed between these they've increased that as well and it's going to be hard to show you because
We've got majorly different devices here
But between 9 and 10, I could show you that if I just open a web page for example, so let's find Safari
And we'll open Zollotech on both, and you'll see they're equally fast
I don't know why this one didn't bring up the latest, but let's refresh it. Let's refresh this one
There we go now. We're equal and both of them are going to be pretty much the same
It's the same browser the same thing underneath, but there's different
enhancements, different changes that they've made over the years
So at this point, I think it's it's more evolutionary rather than revolutionary
And hopefully Apple comes out with something that's really quite great. Now there's tons of changes to things like photos and
Little tweaks, they've done to calendar all sorts of things they've done over the years
Weather, for example. So the weather app has changed slightly
Fonts are a little bit bigger over here
There's just little tweaks that they maybe
Someone designed something and then they want to change it back or who knows what but at this point. I think it's pretty mature and
I'm not sure what else to expect
But I'd love to hear what you have to say as far as what to expect in the new one or the next one
And what you'd like to see most of all other than them slowing down phones things like that
Let's talk about that somewhere else
But I'd love to hear what you have to say about what you'd like to see in the next
iOS. If you'd like to see more comparisons like this or anything different that I haven't shown here
let me know in the comments below.
