iOS 11.4 a fost LANSAT pentru iPhone si iPad

iOS 11.4 a fost lansat pentru iPhone, iPad si iPod Touch in aceasta seara de catre compania Apple, noua versiune a sistemului de operare fiind anuntata pentru disponibilitate chiar de catre americani chiar din aceasta dupa-amiaza. iOS 11.4 a fost testat timp de cateva luni intr-o varietate de versiuni beta, pentru ca intr-un final sa putem instala versiunea finala pe telefoanele si tabletele noastre, dar fara multe noutati.

iOS 11.4 a fost anuntat initial de catre compania Apple cu o varietate de noutati pentru mediul educational, functii care le ofera elevilor si profesorilor noi moduri de a invata, sau preda, impreuna cu iPad 2018. Pentru restul iDevice-urilor, iOS 11.4 aduce schimbari minore, in principal prin rezolvarea de probleme de functionare, insa aduce deasemenea AirPlay 2 dupa ce tehnologia fusese initial asteptata in iOS 11.3, insa a fost retrasa inaintea lansarii actualizarii.

iOS 11.4 aduce deasemenea Messages in the Cloud, o functie care permite sincronizarea mesajelor iCloud pe mai multe iDevice-uri conectate la acelasi Apple ID, functia fiind anuntata initial in iunie 2017, dar e oferita abia acum. iOS 11.4 vine deasemenea si cu functii noi pentru HomePod, care va avea in sfarsit stereo, si va permite interconectarea cu alte tablete pentru a reda aceleasi melodii in camere diferite, Siri urmand a deveni mai inteligent si a avea suport pentru aplicatia Calendar.

iOS 11.4 este distribuit in momentul de fata in lumea intreaga, el putand fi instalat prin sistemul Software Update, Actualizare Software, sau cu ajutorul iTunes. Pentru a instala iOS 11.4 direct din iPhone, iPad, sau iPod Touch, mergeti in Settings > General > Software Update, Configurari > General > Actualizare software, si urmati instructiunile de pe ecran, iar daca actualizarea inca nu va apare, atunci mai aveti putina rabdare pana cand va fi disponibila.
