After more than 40 days, the iPhone finally ushered in a new version of iOS 174 。
During this time, the hardest time should be European Apple users.
Because from this version onwards, the iPhone in their hands can be installed with third-party app stores. This sideloading feature, which originally required a signed certificate or jailbreak to experience, can now be updated with the system.
If you have a bad friend who wants to try it, I can only say that it is a pity that the sideload is only exclusive to the European Union.
So what if I buy a European version of the iPhone?
It didn't work. If the body is not in Europe for a long time, third-party app stores will be banned...
However, this article is not here to talk about sideloading, I talked about it before.
Today I will mainly talk about the update of iPhone users to iOS 17Version 4, what new features can be experienced.
Now just say "Siri" to summon Siri.
In fact, this feature was launched a while ago, but at that time it was only adapted to English, and today it finally supports Chinese (Mandarin). According to the feedback of netizens, Cantonese still can't use this function.
Before, we would say "Hey, Siri" when we would say "Siri."
Although it is only one more word, it is very remarkable. It's as if you want to say hello first and then explain something.
The updated experience is much more natural, like calling a friend's name and talking about things directly.
For example, if you say, "Siri, check the weather today," he'll be able to talk to you right away.
But Shichao has a question, if you accidentally mention Siri while speaking, will it be triggered by mistake?
Yes!
After many tests, I've found that if a sentence starts with Siri, the chance of a false trigger is very high.
For example, I tell my colleague that Siri's IQ seems to have gotten higher, and it pops up a dialog box.
But the funny thing is that Siri jumps out and realizes that you are not calling it and will quickly back down and pretend that nothing has happened ...
In addition to this, there is a slight problem with this feature.
When you're wearing some models of headphones, you still have to say "Hey Siri" to summon Siri
What's the matter, I bought your headphones, is there still a mistake?
There's a new emote to use, brothers!
They are shaking the head, nodding, phoenix, lime, mushroom, and broken chain.
A bunch of right-facing expressions have also been added.
These expressions have existed before, but they are facing to the left. A person in a wheelchair walks to the left, a person with crutches is to the left, and a person who kneels also kneels to the left.
With the addition of a new emoji this time, we can realize the scene where two people kneel, run, and hedge against each other.
It is worth mentioning that the new version actually deleted some emotes.
The "family member" emoji I highlighted in the picture below has all been deleted.
Instead, these four universal expressions are used.
Why do you want to change it to this, Shichao boldly guessed and analyzed a wave.
We know that by long-pressing a character's emoji, you can change your skin tone.
Long press on the couple emoji also has a choice of skin tones, the upper row is the skin tone of the person on the left, and the lower row is the right one.
However, when you press and hold these "family member" emojis, there will be no skin color alternatives.
Shichao pretended to think about it for a while, and I think there is a certain reason for this.
Originally, due to sexual orientation, the number of members is different, and family-related emoji are rich enough.
If you want to choose a skin color, it is a bit troublesome to arrange and combine them, for example:
Yellow dad with a black son.
A white dad and a yellow mom brought a black son.
Black dad and black dad with a white son and a white daughter.
Hiss... Therefore, if the family emoji wants to support the choice of skin color, it can not only dry burn our Apple programmer's CPU, but also look very uncomfortable, after all, this combination is strange.
But it's a bit inappropriate that you don't support choosing a skin color.
So this time, Apple directly engaged in a few universal expressions.
It's just that this expression, I think it's a little ugly.
Oh, the above is purely a blind guess in the world, just look at it, don't take it seriously.
The number of battery cycles was available in the previous version, this time in a different position, moved to "Battery Health".
But be careful, this feature is only available on the iPhone 15 series.
Damn, my battery health dropped by 1%.
This time iOS 174 A new City clock widget has also been added
The difference between the "City" clock widget and the normal clock widget is that it allows you to see the current time in other cities.
For example, if you have a foreign customer, relative, or object, you can add it to the desktop, choose a city, and keep an eye on the time at any time. The widget also displays the city abbreviation and time difference.
The left is a normal clock, and the right is a city clock
In addition, the widget supports multiple additions, like Shichao, who has girlfriends all over the world, just fill a whole screen, and you won't be wrong when you say goodnight to whom.
On iOS 17Version 3, Apple introduced a "stolen device protection" feature.
When this function is turned on, if someone steals your phone and knows your password, then he wants to erase the content of the phone, turn off "Lost Mode", etc., and it is useless to know the passwordIt must be fingerprinted by the face.
In addition, if you want to change your lock screen password, Face ID, or Apple ID password, even if you pass face or fingerprint recognition, you will have to wait an hour and pass your face fingerprint recognition again before you can change it.
This feature is very useful in the event that your phone is stolen and can buy a lot of time, so it is recommended that everyone turn it on in "Settings - Face ID & Passcode - Stolen Device Protection".
Some friends may feel annoyed, so if you want to change a password or something, you have to wait for an hour?
Eh, this time iOS 174 After the update, more granular options have been added:When and always when leaving a familiar location.
If you choose the former, this delay protection will only be activated when the phone is not at home or at work, such as familiar locations.
Ok, that's it for iOS 17 this time4 The main update content, Shichao thinks several update points are very useful.
In addition, I don't know if it's an illusion.,The phone seems to have become smoother.,AirDrop is also a lot faster than when I just upgraded to iOS 17.。。。
