We are in the middle of April, which means that there are already less than two months until the first betas of iOS 10, macOS 1.0 (?) and Watch 3. Until then, or a few minutes before, it is impossible to know what Apple's next operating systems will be like, but we can imagine what the perfect operating systems would be like. This is something that designers also do and Ralph Theodory has created a concept of both mobile operating systems of the apple.
The concept of Theodory, longer than is usual in this type of creations, shows "new" functions, such as a QR reader on native camera of the iPhone. According to the iTunes code, we can eliminate some applications that are installed in iOS by default, and that is another function that we see in this concept of iOS 10. Something even more interesting, the system would ask us to authenticate ourselves when we were to make important changes , something that I would like, at least to prevent anyone who finds an iPhone from turning it off and preventing us from finding it with Find my iPhone.
IOS 10 concept with features that we would all like to have
Something that I do not see very necessary but surely many users do, a new redesign would also be included in the Music application. What I do find interesting at this point are the new options, such as the equalizer (yes, please) or the possibility of making the music turn off after a certain time without having to resort to other applications, such as the alarm.
And the Speed Dial? At this time, by making a 3D Touch gesture on the Phone application icon, we can access our 3 favorite contacts. What Theodore proposes is that we can do the same on the dialing interface, where each number would correspond to a contact. Why hadn't Apple thought of this?
iOS 10 for iPad
In the long video he also shows us what that iOS 10 would be like on the apple tablet. The first thing I see and I like it: the iPhone applications that run on the iPad have a totally different design, like a floating window very different from the enlarged vertical view that we have now. But the best thing about this feature is that we could manage these applications as if they were windows on a desktop operating system.
Moreover, the Control center it would have new buttons that could be edited according to our preferences. From the CC we could execute the action of the start button without having to sink the real button (just not so necessary on the iPad), turn off the tablet or call Siri, two interesting buttons, really. Theodore has also included multi-user in his concept of iOS 10 for iPad, something that has been available since iOS 9.3 but can only be used in schools.
Watch 3
Where the designer has it most difficult is in the next operating system of the Apple Watch, something logical if we consider that it is a fairly immature market. The Theodore concept's watchOS 3 proposes something that I think is a matter of time before it hits the watchOS App Store: third party spheres. We can think that no, that the iPhone does not include customizable themes, but I think that the iPhone cannot be compared to the Apple Watch in this sense since the apple watch includes different dials for different users.
On the other hand, this watchOS 3 also includes dedicated applications for Notes and Reminders and the possibility of pair with all devices using the same account iCloud, which also includes the iPad. Already put, why not also include the Mac? Most likely, Theodore wanted to focus on mobile operating systems on the block.
Of all the features and design changes that have been included in this concept, what did you like the most?
