hi everyone Aaron here for ZolloTech and over the years iphone has grown into
something that was fairly basic at the beginning and is now
essential to many of us and so i wanted to go over
all of the top features all throughout the entire life of
iphone or iphone os all the way to ios 13
and soon we'll have ios 14. and so the first thing is the app store
that doesn't sound like a big deal these days but it's a pretty big deal
and so here is an iphone 4s and you can see it has the app store on it
and originally the iphone did not have an app store with the first version so
the first major feature that changed everything
was the app store and so with that we had an app store
additional apps like minecraft that you can see there
eventually an additional youtube app that wasn't there by default
google maps and many other things as well and then iphone os
3 brought us spotlight search and cut copy paste
and the video camera and now that doesn't sound like a big deal
today because it's standard on everything we had this switch here we
could switch to a video camera on some of the original iphones and so it
allowed us to record video and we could not only record video but
we could cut copy and paste and then also we had spotlight search so
we could search things like minecraft and so if we wanted to search
throughout the os maybe we didn't know where the app was we could search for it
and we could enter into it that way now with
ios 4 we gain face time and for some countries they
still don't have face time so depending on the government there
they may or may not have that feature but facetime came out with ios 4
and we have the ability to talk to people if we have a forward-facing
camera and it makes things really nice
especially when you're not able to go out
we also gained multitasking now it's not quite the way it is today you would
double tap the home button and you've got multitasking here
and then you could quickly switch between the app now today we can just
swipe and kind of do the same thing but we didn't have that ability back then
and so that was a big change if we wanted to close an app we press and hold
and close it that way that's how we did things back with ios 4. now with ios 5
we gained notification center and android had this for quite some time
before but then they brought it to ios 5 and we would have our notifications here
just by pulling down from the top all of these features were pretty major
at the time but the largest feature that still carries today i would say
is imessage imessage allowed for people to send
messages or text messages photos videos all sorts of things without
having to use sms or mms sending it end-to-end
encrypted from iphone to iphone or iphone to mac and later iphone to
ipad and so this was a phenomenal way to use
your phone sending it using your data having it
secure and encrypted and if you wanted to add a photo
you could do that just tap on the phone here
focus take a photo hit use and send it to whoever had an iphone
of course you could text through here and you still can to this day
and i think this is probably one of the number one features that has kept a lot
of people on iphone so it was a pretty major feature ios 5 also
introduced icloud to backup things also wireless updates you no longer had
to use itunes prior to this version you had you use
itunes from ios 5 on you could actually check
for an update through the update software in the
settings so you'll see this is on ios 6 actually i
don't want to update to ios 8. with ios 5
we also have one feature that's been huge all the way to today and sort of
inspired everyone else to do the same thing and that's siri
so if you press and hold the home button what's the weather today
it takes a moment and hopefully it still works
and there you go there's the temperature conditions and everything else
and at the time this was pretty revolutionary now siri has sort of
fallen behind it seems over the time but it's still doing well and it's still
around today with enhanced voice and everything else
and then with ios 6 before we had the revamp with ios 7
we also had a start of focus on privacy so we now had privacy settings in our
settings here so it allowed us to control things like location services
and bluetooth sharing and just privacy in general
with different applications to keep things more private
and not allow different applications just to use whatever they want
and that was sort of the start of apple's focus on privacy on
phones now along with that they brought their own version of maps so if we go
into maps now this is the original version of
apple maps it wasn't that great at the time
and you can see that you could report a problem drop a pin show
traffic and this was pretty big for apple
to do their own maps it took them years to get where they are now
until it's fully usable for most people some people still had bad memories of
this and don't like it but you could do
directions and things like that but then with ios 7 came a very big
visual and design overhaul change now this is not ios 7.
this is ios 9 but it's pretty similar as far as that
goes with ios 7 not only did we get a visual overhaul
but we got a redoing of pretty much how every single thing works within ios and
how it looks so that means everything from music to
the way settings worked and the way everything looked it got a
flat design it was no longer skeuomorphic
and we gained a couple features that i use every single day today
the first one being airdrop and airdrop is something when i want to send a
wallpaper from one device to another it's on this device and so you could air
drop it to whoever you'd like and you'd have that ability which is
really nice and something that we take for granted today
we also gained car play so if you had a device that supported car play back then
maybe you upgraded your stereo in your car you could use the lightning port
with carplay now as we get later and later in the updates we see less and
less updates so for example with ios 8 we gained handoff
and continuity which was really nice we can hand off and i showed that in a
recent video maybe you were in safari on your iphone and you want to
to resume where you left off on your iphone but on your mac
you could do that so we had that ability we had a redone
makeover for the multitasking with ios 7 and then
continuing in eight but it changed over time we also gained
icloud photo library which was pretty big so
that allowed us to back up our entire photo library to apple's cloud it was
much better than mobileme or previous versions of icloud
and so we gained that and it synced across all your devices
pretty seamlessly although it did have some issues now ios 9 gave us a few
different things so for example ios 9 is on this device
and we've got a control center that looks pretty simple
or closer to what we have today and if you had a 3d touch device
you could actually get quick actions as well as peak and pop
so this device for example doesn't allow that because
this doesn't have a 3d touch layer however if you had a 3d touch device you
had the ability to peek and pop and we've kind of lost that today
with the latest version so we can go into settings and get similar things
but it's not the same as we had before although it's still pretty good today
with haptic touch now with ios 10 we're getting
closer to what we have here with ios 13. ios 10 gave us more small features not
really anything major but minor updates to things like
imessage siri photos 3d touch and more customization
so we got more and more of that now with ios 11 we gained the files app
and it didn't really turn into what we have today until later on and then we
got drag and drop so we could drag and drop
different things maybe you want to move different applications around we can tap
multiple ones or just let go and they'll go back you
also had the ability to drag and drop files between different applications but
with ios 12 we gained performance and that was a big thing with ios 12 we
also gained screen time shortcuts a new fully redone
photos app as well as a complete apple maps rebuild
so you'll see that we gained a couple features like screen time
and shortcuts which was just a redo of an app
but we gained shortcuts and it was an app at the time but then later it became
pre-installed with ios 13. and the major thing with ios 13
well there were only two that were huge and one is dark mode of course and let
me turn that back on there we go one was dark mode the other was the
quick path keyboard so if you want to type quickly
and say hello how are you today this is built into the os with ios 13 as
well as a completely revamped reminders app
and there's all sorts of little additions that have been made throughout
the years different changes to everything from home
to music revamping to notes being updated to the camera app being updated
and weather and on and on and on and there are hundreds
if not thousands of tweaks from the original with ios 14 based off all the
changes i've just gone over when i looked back through what was
major with each revision i don't expect any major
features this year unless apple surprises us and does a redesign
i expect a few minor updates things like stability
continued performance and battery improvements maybe a couple more app
tweaks and that's about it as well as additions to augmented
reality so at this point we're getting a very mature operating
system it does what most people want and it does it well
and there are a few bugs of course with ios 13 that they can improve upon but in
general this has been fairly solid and it's been
amazing to see all of the updates going back
over all of them over the years but with ios 14 don't expect anything huge but
expect stability and a solid operating system
but i'd love to hear what you want to see most
