iOS 8 is here! Well, it's not - you won't get it on your phone or tablet until later this year but Apple has at least outlined what goodies you can expect come fall.
The release has enhancements for both iPhone and iPad. There is a refined notification center for iPhone, but even more impressive are interaction notifications. These let users stay within an app while replying to texts and other alerts from within the app just by swiping down.
In iPad, users can peak a bird's eye view of all their tabs as well as enjoy a side bar within Safari.
Managing Mail has also become easier; swiping slightly on a message will let users flag it with color-coded indicators while swiping all the way deletes the message. Conveniently, users can also now access other inbox messages while composing an email.
Messages is smartening up as well. Now, users can set Do Not Disturb alerts in group messages, and leave a thread whenever they like.
Users can share their location within a thread as well, and a map becomes visible if you want to see where your friends (really) are. Attachments are also easier to view at a glance.
iOS 8 comes equipped with a tap to talk feature, cutting out the steps needed to vocalize what you're virtually trying to say.
