3. Huge for developers.
Massive for everyone else.
iOS 8 is the biggest iOS release ever — for developers and everyone else.
But that wasn’t the goal. We simply set out to create the most natural
experience. Each enhancement has a purpose. Every new feature deserves
to be a new feature. Each function is more considered, each next step is
more efficient. It all adds up to an even better experience — one that is
pleasantly surprising at first and becomes utterly indispensable before you
know it.

4. What makes iOS 8
the world’s most
advanced mobile
operating system?
It’s the details. The innovations. The complete
experience. It’s the fact that you can now see
(and edit and organize) every photo you take
on all your devices. That you can add your
voice right in a text message. And that your
health and fitness apps can now communicate
with each other, with your trainer, and even
with your doctor.
We’ve also provided developers with deeper
access and more tools. So some of the most
amazing features in iOS 8 are being created
right now. You’ll have new keyboard options
and even more ways to share your content.
And you’ll be able to use iCloud and Touch ID
in ways you never have before.
It’s going to be a great Fall. But for now, here’s
a preview of some of the things iOS 8 will do
for you so you can do more than ever.

5. Photos.
Every photo you take.
Now on all your devices.
Every photo, every edit, every album now lives
in your iCloud Photo Library, easily viewable
and consistent on all your devices.
Automatically. The all‐new Photos app makes it
simpler than ever to find and rediscover
your favorite photos. And you can make every
shot look even better immediately after you’ve
taken it with powerful new editing tools.

6. Now Messages lets you connect with friends
and family like never before. Tap to add your
voice to any conversation. Send a video of what
you’re seeing the moment you’re seeing it.
And easily share your location so they know
right where you are.
Messages.
Actually LOL. OL.

7. Details make the
experience. These
details make it brilliant.
In iOS 8, you’ll find a convenient new way to
respond to notifications. Helpful shortcuts to
the people you talk to most. And time‐saving
features for managing your mail. All of which
make the experience of using your iPhone, iPad,
or iPod touch that much better.

8. Our smartest
keyboard ever.
iOS 8 makes typing easier by suggesting
contextually appropriate words to complete
your sentences. It even recognizes to whom
you’re typing and whether you’re in Mail
or Messages. Because your tone in an email
may be different from your tone in a message.

9. Family Sharing.
Sharing with your family
comes naturally. Now it
comes to all your
content.
Family Sharing makes it easy for up to six
people in your family to share each other’s
iTunes, iBooks, and App Store purchases.
Whenever one person buys a new song,
movie, or app, everybody gets to share. It’s also
easier than ever to share family photos, a family
calendar, locations, and more.

10. iCloud Drive.
Any kind of file.
On all your devices.
The good news: You can work on any file,
anywhere. The bad news: You can work on any
file, anywhere. That includes presentations,
PDFs, images, and more — right from iCloud.
On whichever device you’re using, including
your Mac or PC.

11. Health.
An entirely new way
to use your health and
fitness information.
Now your activity tracker, heart rate monitor,
and other health and fitness apps can talk to
each other. Which means they’ll be able to
work even harder for you. And all
the information is accessible in
one easy-to-read dashboard.

12. iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
Connected like never
before.
Things are about to get even better for people
with multiple Apple devices. Now you can start
an email on one device and seamlessly continue
on another. And iPhone owners can answer
phone calls on their Mac or iPad, and even send
SMS messages from any of them.

13. Spotlight.
Brighter than ever.
Sometimes you’re looking for a contact or an
app. Sometimes you’re looking for answers.
Spotlight now gives you suggestions from
Wikipedia entries, places nearby, trending news,
and more. It’s even smart enough to recognize
context and location to offer you the most
relevant information.

14. Just wait until you see what
app developers do next.
iOS 8 is the biggest release for developers since
the introduction of the App Store. We’re giving
them new tools to extend the reach of their
apps and opening up new opportunities
for them to take advantage of iCloud, Touch ID,
and more. Which means you’ll soon see exciting
new apps with capabilities that were never
possible before.

15. iOS 8 makes a more
powerful business partner.
iPhone and iPad have become the devices
of choice at work simply because they’re the
devices of choice in daily life. And it gets even
better in iOS 8 with new productivity, security,
and device management features.

16. iOS 8 will be compatible with:
iPhone 5siPhone 5ciPhone 5iPhone 4s iPad mini iPad mini with
Retina display
iPad AiriPad with
Retina display
iPad 2iPod touch
5th
generation

17. Photos.
Every photo you take.
On all your devices.

18. With iPhone, people are taking more photos and videos than
ever. As photo collections grow, so does the desire to store
them all safely and still access them whenever and wherever.
That’s where the new Photos app and the new iCloud Photo
Library come in.

19. iCloud Photo Library.
You’re never without your camera.
Now you’ll never be without your
photos.
Every photo and video you take now lives in iCloud — giving you the freedom to
access your library from any device, anytime you want. So you can view a photo
from last week or last year no matter where you are.

20. Your precious memories, stored in iCloud.
Once you’ve enabled it on your iOS devices, iCloud Photo Library automatically keeps all your
photos and videos in iCloud, at full resolution in their original formats, including RAW files. You
can access and download them anytime from your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or the web.

21. Fill your library, not your device.
iCloud Photo Library helps you make the most of the space available on your iOS device, so you
can spend more time shooting pictures and less time managing them. It can automatically keep
the original high‐resolution photos and videos in iCloud and leave behind lightweight versions
that are perfectly sized for each device. You get 5GB of iCloud storage free, and other storage
plans will start at $0.99 per month.

22. Organized here, there, and everywhere.
iCloud Photo Library keeps your photos and videos organized into Moments, Collections, and
Years across all your devices — and even on the web. You can mark favorites, create albums, or
drag photos into a custom order whether you’re on your iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch.

23. Make edits once. See them on every device.
Crop, straighten, enhance, or add filters to your pictures using Photos in iOS 8.
Your changes are immediately uploaded to iCloud and visible on your other devices.
And the edits are nondestructive, so you can always revert back to your original if
you change your mind.

24. It’s never been easier to find memorable photos.
Or great ones you forgot about.
iOS 8 makes it simple to find every shot. Whether it’s a photo from last week’s trip to New York or one
from a family barbecue last June, you can have them all at your fingertips, ready to edit, share, or just
let you reminisce a little.
Search your entire library.
Now you can search thousands of your
photos right from your iPhone, iPad, or
iPod touch. Search by the date or time the
photo was taken, location, or album name.
Whether you’re at work, on the train, at a
restaurant, or on vacation, finding a photo
has never been simpler.
Get smart suggestions.
Just tap the search icon, and you’ll get
choices based on what’s important to you.
One more tap gives you immediate access
to photos taken nearby, photos taken the
same time last year, or your all‐time
favorite photos.

25. Capture the moment. Then edit it in seconds.
Whatever your skill level, you’ll be able to create photo masterpieces right in the Photos app. You
don’t have to wait to get back to your Mac to do it. Photos can make beautiful edits for you. Or you
can take control and fine‐tune every aspect of a photo yourself.
Smart composition tools.
Don’t worry if the composition isn’t perfect when you shoot. Even
after you take your photo, Photos can automatically straighten
horizons and provide the ideal crop.

26. Smart adjustments.
Modify the overall light in a photo with a single control. Behind the
scenes, Photos intelligently adjusts exposure, brightness, contrast, and
more — giving everyone, even the complete novice, great results.
Adjust light.
Use the smart slider to find just
the right lighting.
Adjust color.
Slide to enhance blue skies or
make colors pop.
Fine‐tune your edits.
Tap and a menu of individual
tools lets you make precise
adjustments.

27. Photo filters and editing tools.
Make your photo stand out even more by applying one of the
Apple-designed filters. iOS 8 also makes it possible for other app
developers to create filters and editing tools that you can use in
Photos.
Try a built‐in filter.
Beautiful, moody, or fun. Tap to
experiment with enhanced photo
filters.
Apply third‐party filters.
App developers can make their
filters and editing tools accessible in
the Photos app.

28. A new mode comes to
Camera: Time‐lapse videos.
Capture the experience of the sun setting, a city street
bustling, or a flower blooming with the new Time‐lapse
mode in Camera. iOS 8 does all the work, snapping
photos at dynamically selected intervals. The result is a
video showing an accelerated sequence of the photos
over time. Just set up your device to shoot what you
want. Swipe to select Time‐lapse mode, tap the Record
button, and let Camera record as long as you choose.

29. Messages.
Actually LOL. OL.

30. Look forward to doing amazing new things with the app you
use most. In iOS 8, Messages has fun, useful, even surprising
features that will change the way you think about messaging.

31. Add your voice to the conversation.
Messages in iOS 8 makes it easy to capture any sound — your voice, a song, or a big laugh — and
make it part of the conversation. Simply touch and hold the new microphone button to record your
message. Then swipe to send it.
Tap to Talk, then send instantly.
Touch and hold with your thumb to record
your message, then swipe up to send it.
Lift to your ear to listen.
To hear a message, simply hold iPhone
to your ear and listen like it’s a phone call.
Or just tap the Play button.

32. Send a video
quickly and easily.
The new Messages app lets you share what
you’re seeing almost as you’re seeing it.
Quickly send a video of your brother’s first
time paddleboarding. Or your dad joining the
fire dancers at the luau. When you do, you’ve
said so much more than “Having fun on our
vacation.” And you’ve said it in seconds.

33. Take charge of group messages.
Start a group conversation and give it a name like “Soccer Team” or “Road Trip.” Easily
include who you want, drop who you don’t, and leave the conversation whenever you want.
Or turn on Do Not Disturb and then read through the messages when you have time.
Give your conversation a name.
Tap Details to name a conversation
so you can easily find it again later.
Control the conversation. Politely.
In Details, you can add and remove people
from the conversation — or leave it yourself.

34. Share your location in the
middle of the conversation.
“Where are you?” Answer that question more clearly than ever with a map
showing your location. You can also share your whereabouts with people you
choose for an hour, until the end of the day, or indefinitely. And you can see
people in the message thread on a map if they’ve shared their locations.
Sharing is easy.
Tap to choose how long you’d like to share
your location.
So that’s where everyone is.
When your friends choose to share their
locations, you see them all on one map.

35. Tap to see every attachment
from a conversation.
It’s simple to browse the photos and videos within a thread.
You’ll see all the photos and videos going back to the very
first exchange, without having to scroll through earlier
messages.

36. Send multiple photos and videos at once.
In Messages, tap the camera icon to see the most recent photos in your
Camera Roll. Select the ones you want to share and tap Send. It’s that easy.
Want to send older photos? Tap Photo Library and select the shots you want.

37. Details make the experience.
These details make it brilliant.

38. Look forward to doing amazing new things with the app you
use most. In iOS 8, Messages has fun, useful, even surprising
features that will change the way you think about messaging.

At the top, you’ll notice something new: the faces of people you’ve recently

tap one to call, text, or start a FaceTime call.

43. New time‐saving features arrive in Mail.
From your inbox, swipe to mark an email as read or flag it for follow‐up. You can also
easily jump between a draft email and an email in your inbox to gather the information
you need to compose your message. And now when Mail recognizes a reservation, flight
confirmation, or phone number in an email, a notification appears. Just tap to add
an event to your calendar or a phone number to your contacts.

The Tab view you know and love in Safari on iPhone now appears on your iPad. You can
see all your open web pages, with tabs from the same site grouped together. There’s
also a new Sidebar that slides out to reveal your bookmarks, Reading List, and Shared
Links. So you’ll enjoy a familiar browsing experience across all your devices.

47. Our smartest keyboard ever.

48. iOS 8 brings the biggest changes to the keyboard since the very first
iPhone. Now you can tap to choose the perfect suggestion for your
next word. And for the first time, third‐party keyboards will be
available. Typing as you know it might soon be a thing of the past.

49. iOS 8 predicts what you’ll likely say next.
No matter whom you’re saying it to.
Now you can write entire sentences with a few taps. Because as you type, you’ll see choices of words or phrases you’d probably type
next, based on your past conversations and writing style. iOS 8 takes into account the casual style you might use in Messages and the
more formal language you probably use in Mail. It also adjusts based on the person you’re communicating with, because your choice of
words is likely more laid back with your spouse than with your boss. Your conversation data is kept only on your device, so it’s always
private.
iOS 8 knows your text messaging style.
When you’re using Messages, the word
suggestions may be more casual and brief,
if that’s how you like to text.
It knows how you email.
The predictive text will adjust to give you
more polished next‐word choices.

50. It knows whom you’re writing to.
You’ll get word choices that are appropriate
for your coworker, your best friend, and
anyone else you’ve had conversations with.
And it knows what the conversation is about.
If someone asks you a question, iOS 8 understands.
And before you even type one letter, it offers
choices like “Yes” or “No.”

words is likely more laid back with your spouse than with your boss. Your conversation data is kept only on your device, so it’s always
private.

51. Predictive text is available in 14 countries.
The iOS 8 predictive text engine is optimized for 14 countries. Which means as you type,
you’ll see suggested words and phrases that are commonly used in your region. And as
you use the keyboard over time, it will learn the way you communicate, get to know your
favorite phrases, and suggest a logical next word.

52. New third‐party
keyboard experiences.
Swipe rather than type, or go old school with the classic keyboard layout. For the first time,
iOS 8 opens up the keyboard to developers. And once new keyboards are available, you’ll
be able to choose your favorite input method or layout systemwide.

53. Family Sharing.
Sharing with your family comes naturally.
Now it comes to all your content.

54. Family Sharing is a new way to bring harmony to your family’s
digital life. Up to six people in your family can share purchases from
iTunes, iBooks, and the App Store without sharing accounts. Pay for
family purchases with the same credit card and approve kids’
spending right from a parent’s device. Easily share photos, a family
calendar, and more to help keep everyone connected.

55. Being a family pays off in huge new ways.
Once you set up Family Sharing, family members get immediate access to each other’s
music, movies, TV shows, books, and apps.* Download what you want with a tap anytime
you like. All without having to share an Apple ID or passwords.
Music. Movies. Books. Apps. Just think of all the great content you can share.

56. The whole family can contribute
to the family photo album.
Family Sharing makes collecting and sharing family memories easier and more fun. It
automatically sets up a family photo stream where you can share photos, videos, and
comments. And everything stays up to date on everyone’s devices. So you’re all a tap
away from the latest vacation shots, birthday highlights, and family pranks.

57. Now it’s easy to be one of those organized families.
One shared family calendar equals one happy, organized family. Now everybody in the
family can add events to one calendar. You can even set up family reminders that will
appear on everyone’s devices at the exact time or place you choose. So when it’s school
picture day, pizza night, or just a trip to the beach, everyone’s in the know.

58. Is your family all over the map? We’ve got you covered.
Family Sharing can automatically share your location with your family members and show
you where they are, too. Now it’s easier than ever to meet up at the park, see if Dad’s on
his way home, or keep tabs on your kids throughout the day. Out shopping for a surprise
birthday gift? Just hide your location with a tap.

59. Where’s Mom’s iPad? And while
you’re at it, where’s your
brother’s iPhone?
Finding your family’s lost devices is even easier now
that everyone can help. With the Find My iPhone
app, family members can use their devices to locate
one that’s lost and have it play a sound (even if the
ringer is turned off). If you don’t want your devices
to be located, simply turn sharing off.

60. Set limits and still look like the good guy.
Parents get more control, while kids feel like they have more freedom. It’s not a parenting
miracle, it’s Family Sharing. Enjoy the convenience of paying for family purchases with a
single credit card. Enable “Ask to Buy” to require children to get permission before making
iTunes, iBooks, and App Store purchases. You can even create Apple IDs for children under
13 years old so they can participate, too.
They ask to buy.
Before your children can make a purchase,
they must ask your permission.
You reply from anywhere.
A notification appears on your device. You
can review the request, then approve or
decline it.

61. iCloud Drive.
Any kind of file. On all your devices.

62. Now you have the freedom to work with the document of your
choice on the device of your choice. Because with iCloud Drive, you
can safely store all your presentations, spreadsheets, PDFs, images,
and any other kind of document in iCloud and access them from
your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, or PC.

63. Storing files in iCloud is simple.
Just as it should be.
To upload your files to iCloud, simply drag them into
the iCloud Drive on your Mac running OS X Yosemite or
PC running Windows 7 or later. Or start a new
document using an iCloud‐enabled app on your iOS
device. Then you’ll be able to access those documents
from all your devices.

64. Edits you make on one device appear on all of them.
Using iCloud Drive means you’ll always have access to the latest version of all your
documents from any device. For example, you can start creating a presentation on your
Mac at home, then make final edits and present it in class using your iPad. All the changes
you make along the way appear automatically on all your devices.

65. Start your work in one app.
Add the finishing touches in another.
Your apps can now share files, which means you can access and work on the same file
across multiple apps. For example, you can create a drawing in a sketching app, then
open it in a paint app to color it in. Or create a chart in one app and place it in a slideshow
using a presentation app. No more making copies or importing documents from one app
to another. It’s a whole new level of collaboration between apps.

66. Health.
An entirely new way to use your health
and fitness information.

67. The new Health app gives you an easy‐to‐read dashboard of your
health and fitness data. And we’ve created a new tool for
developers called HealthKit, which allows all the incredible health
and fitness apps to work together, and work harder, for you. It just
might be the beginning of a health revolution.

68. “How are you?” now has a really accurate answer.
Heart rate, calories burned, blood sugar, cholesterol — your health and fitness apps are
great at collecting all that data. The new Health app puts that data in one place, accessible
with a tap, giving you a clear and current overview of your health. You can also create an
emergency card with important health information — for example, your blood type or
allergies — that’s available right from your Lock screen.
See your whole health picture.
Quickly view your most recent health and
fitness data in one dashboard.
Manage what you’re tracking.
See a list of the different types of data being
managed by Health, then tap to see each
one individually.

69. Set up every detail.
You have complete control over exactly
which data to share with each health and
fitness app.
Just in case.
Create an emergency card that’s accessible
from your Lock screen.
“How are you?” now has a really accurate answer.

with a tap, giving you a clear and current overview of your health. You can also create an
emergency card with important health information — for example, your blood type or
allergies — that’s available right from your Lock screen.

70. Your health and fitness apps will
soon work even harder for you.
With HealthKit, developers can make their apps even more useful by allowing them to
access your health data, too. And you choose what you want shared. For example, you can
allow the data from your blood pressure app to be automatically shared with your doctor.
Or allow your nutrition app to tell your fitness apps how many calories you consume each
day. When your health and fitness apps work together, they become more powerful. And
you might, too.

71. iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Connected like
never before.

72. Apple products have always been designed to work together
beautifully. But now they may really surprise you. With iOS 8 and
OS X Yosemite, you’ll be able to do more wonderful things than
ever before.

73. Start browsing on your iPad and continue from the same link on your iPhone.
Handoff lets you pick up right where you left off.
Now you can start writing an email on your iPhone and pick up where you left off when you
sit down at your Mac. Or browse the web on your Mac and continue from the same link on
your iPad. It all happens automatically when your devices are signed in to the same iCloud
account. Use Handoff with favorite apps like Mail, Safari, Pages, Numbers, Keynote, Maps,
Messages, Reminders, Calendar, and Contacts. And developers can build Handoff into their
apps now, too.

74. Start working on a project on your iPad or iPhone and pick up instantly on your Mac.
Handoff lets you pick up right where you left off.
Now you can start writing an email on your iPhone and pick up where you left off when you
sit down at your Mac. Or browse the web on your Mac and continue from the same link on
your iPad. It all happens automatically when your devices are signed in to the same iCloud
account. Use Handoff with favorite apps like Mail, Safari, Pages, Numbers, Keynote, Maps,
Messages, Reminders, Calendar, and Contacts. And developers can build Handoff into their
apps now, too.

75. Begin composing an email on your Mac and finish it on your iPhone. Or vice versa.

account. Use Handoff with favorite apps like Mail, Safari, Pages, Numbers, Keynote, Maps,
Messages, Reminders, Calendar, and Contacts. And developers can build Handoff into their
apps now, too.

76. iPad and Mac, now answering the call.
Sometimes when your iPhone rings, it’s not where you are. Maybe it’s charging in another
room. Or it’s buried in your backpack. But your Mac or iPad is sitting right there. Now you
can make and receive phone calls on those devices as long as your iPhone running iOS 8 is
on the same Wi‐Fi network. Incoming calls show the caller’s name, number, and profile
picture. Just click or swipe the notification to answer, ignore, or respond with a quick
message. And making a phone call from your iPad or Mac is just as easy. Simply tap or click
a phone number in Contacts, Calendar, or Safari. It all works with your existing iPhone
number, so there’s nothing to set up.

77. Send any kind of text message from any of your devices.
Having a conversation with friends and family who don’t use an iPhone just got much
easier. That’s because you can now send and receive SMS and MMS text messages right
from your iPad or Mac. So when a friend texts you from any kind of phone, you can
respond using whichever device is most convenient. You can also start a conversation from
your iPad or Mac by clicking a phone number in Safari, Contacts, or Calendar.

78. No Wi‐Fi? No problem.
If you’re out of Wi‐Fi range, your iPad or Mac can connect to your phone’s personal
hotspot when your iPhone is close by.* With the new Instant Hotspot feature, you’ll see
the name of your iPhone in the list of Wi‐Fi networks in Settings on your iPad and in the
Wi‐Fi menu on your Mac. Just select it and you’re connected. And when you’re not using
your phone’s network, your devices intelligently disconnect to save battery life.

79. Spotlight.
Brighter than ever.

80. Now Spotlight goes beyond your device to find what you’re looking
for. Before it answers, it intelligently considers things like context
and location. And the results are brilliant.

81. News
Spotlight knows what topics are hot. And as
what’s trending changes, the list it gives you
does, too.
Wikipedia
Type in a term like “Point Reyes” and you’ll get
a snippet of the Wikipedia article, including a
picture and a short summary. Tap it, and
Spotlight takes you to the full article.
Nearby places
Hungry? Just enter the name of a restaurant,
and Spotlight will show you one nearby,
including the phone number and hours it’s
open. Tap to go to Maps and see exactly how
to get there.

82. App Store

85. iOS 8 is the biggest release for developers since the introduction of the App
Store. It opens up new areas of iOS, allowing developers to extend the reach
of their app content and functionality. It includes over 4000 new APIs to
enable amazing features and capabilities. And it offers bold new technologies
for game development. All of which means soon you’ll see exciting new apps
and games that let you do things you’ve never been able to do before.

86. We’re giving developers more ways to help you do more.
With deeper‐than‐ever access to iOS capabilities, developers will be able to create better,
more customized experiences for you.
Photo Editing
Developers can embed their filters and
editing tools directly into the Photos app. So
you could apply third-party effects to images
without leaving the app where you view
your photos.
Sharing Options
iOS lets you quickly share photos, videos,
websites, and other content with social sites
like Facebook and Twitter. For iOS 8, we’ve
opened the sharing options to all developers,
which means you’ll have more places to share
what matters to you.
Custom Actions
With a tap of the Action button, you can do
things like assign a photo to a contact or print
a document. iOS 8 allows developers to
extend those capabilities. For instance, a
developer could make it possible to
watermark documents, add something to a
wish list, or translate text to a
different language.

87. We’re giving developers more ways to help you do more.
With deeper‐than‐ever access to iOS capabilities, developers will be able to create better,
more customized experiences for you.
Keyboard
Developers will be able to create new
keyboards you can install and use
systemwide. Once they’re available, you can
choose your favorite input method or layout.
Notification Center
See more items in the Today view in
Notification Center. For example, you could
add widgets that update you on package
deliveries, the latest surf reports, or breaking
stories from your favorite news app.
Documents
We’re expanding how iOS handles
documents to enable you to open and edit
documents using more apps, and to share
documents between apps without creating
unnecessary copies.

88. We’re unlocking amazing new capabilities.
iOS 8 gives developers over 4000 new APIs and services that can enable new categories of apps and features.
Here are just a few of the new capabilities we’re unlocking.
Touch ID
HealthKit
PhotoKit
HomeKit
Camera API
CloudKit
For the first time, you’ll have
the option of using Touch ID to
sign in to third‐party apps —
there’s no need to enter a
password. Your fingerprint data
is protected and is never
accessed by iOS or other apps.
Developers can enable their
photo apps to edit photos
directly in the Camera Roll
without having to import them
first.
Now third‐party camera apps
can have precise control over
exposure, focus, and white
balance in addition to the
controls they already have.
Health and fitness apps can
share their data with the new
Health app and with each other.
When apps can talk to each
other, they work harder for
your health.
HomeKit introduces a new way
for you to control supported
devices in your home using Siri.
That means you could use your
voice to turn on lights or adjust
the thermostat.
Now developers can use the
full power of iCloud in their
apps and enable you to sign in
with your Apple ID without
sharing your personal
information.

89. We’re introducing new gaming technologies.
iOS is already the most popular platform for mobile gaming, and iOS 8 will make it an even
bigger platform thanks to bold new technologies for game developers.

SpriteKit SceneKit Metal
SpriteKit enables developers to
create high‐performance,
battery‐efficient 2D games. In
iOS 8, we’ve added several
enhancements that will make
2D games even better. These
new technologies will help in‐
game characters move more
naturally and make it easier for
developers to add force fields,
detect collisions, and generate
new lighting effects in their
games.
SceneKit enables developers to
render game scenes in 3D and
is designed for casual 3D
gaming. SceneKit incorporates
a physics engine, a particle
generator, and easy ways to
script the actions of 3D objects.
It’s also completely integrated
with SpriteKit, so developers
can include SpriteKit assets in
3D games.
Built for developers who create
highly immersive console
games, Metal is a new
technology that will allow them
to squeeze maximum
performance from the A7 chip.
It’s optimized to allow the CPU
and GPU to work together to
achieve optimal performance.
It’s designed for multithreading,
and there are great tools for
putting it all together in Xcode.

91. Introducing Swift,
a brand‐new programming language.
To spur the next generation of iOS apps, we’re introducing something entirely new:
A programming language that’s as powerful as it is expressive and intuitive to use. For app
developers, it means a new level of creative freedom. For you, it means a new level of app.

92. iOS 8 makes a more powerful
business partner.

93. iPhone and iPad have become the devices of choice at work
simply because they’re the devices of choice in daily life. And it all
gets better in iOS 8 with new security, productivity, and device
management features.

94. Even stronger security.
The enterprise‐grade security technologies built into iOS are even more powerful in iOS 8.
We’ve expanded data protection to more apps and enabled finer control over
mail encryption.

95. New productivity features.
You have more ways to get things done quicker and easier with apps like Mail and
Calendar.
New time‐saving features and more in Mail.
To help manage busy inboxes, you can mark messages as read or unread or flag them for follow‐up with
a quick swipe left or right. You can designate individual mail threads as VIP so you can easily track
updates to the conversation. There’s also a custom mailbox you can show in mailbox view that groups
VIP threads together. For added security, you can choose to have external email addresses marked in
red. And if you use Exchange, you can set automatic reply messages from your iOS device to be sent, for
example, when you’re away from work.

96. New productivity features.
You have more ways to get things done quicker and easier with apps like Mail and
Calendar.
See meeting availability and more in Calendar.
In Calendar, you can see your colleagues’ availability
when scheduling a meeting so you can quickly find a
time that works for everyone. You can mark events
as private. It’s easier to create events that repeat at
custom intervals and lengths of time, such as on the
first Monday of every month. And you can email
meeting attendees from Calendar to let them know
you’re running late.
Get easier access to corporate documents.
Third‐party document apps can make documents
available to other apps more easily than ever —
without making unnecessary copies. So if you have
an app that can access your corporate file servers,
you can get to the document you need right from
the app you want to edit it in. In addition, AirDrop
support between iOS and OS X enables users to
transfer files to and from a Mac even without an
Internet connection.

97. Better data and device management tools.
IT departments have more ways to manage information securely without burdening
employees with complex rules and work personas.
New tools to manage books and PDFs.
iBooks, ePub, and PDF documents can now be automatically pushed to user devices using mobile device
management (MDM) tools, so users always have what they need. When the materials are no longer
necessary, they can be removed remotely.

98. New productivity features.
You have more ways to get things done quicker and easier with apps like Mail and
Calendar.
Data management and content filtering.
IT departments can control which apps can open
documents downloaded from enterprise domains using
Safari. They can also set up rules for controlling which
apps can open documents from iCloud Drive. A new
networking framework in iOS 8 makes it possible for third‐
party networking developers to create powerful content‐
filtering tools.
More powerful device management capabilities.
New MDM tools help IT administrators see and do more
with the iOS devices they manage. They can set the
device name remotely and prevent users from adding
their own restrictions or erasing their devices. New
queries let administrators see the last time a device was
backed up to iCloud so they know whether it’s safe to
perform certain tasks. A new remote management UI
makes enrolling and understanding the impact of MDM
easier and more transparent for users. MDM also enables
IT staff to help users authenticate to enterprise apps
using certificate‐based single sign‐on.

99. New productivity features.
You have more ways to get things done quicker and easier with apps like Mail and
Calendar.
Peer‐to‐peer AirPlay discovery and playback.
With iOS 8, you can wirelessly connect iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch to Apple TV without first connecting
to the organization’s network. Which means you can present or share your work even if you’re offline or
the organization has a complex network.

100. Coming this fall.
