Hours before the official presentation of iOS 11 and the rest of the operating systems that manage the devices manufactured by Apple, an application called Files has made its appearance sporadically in the App Store, an application that according to the vague description that it offered us, indicated that it was compatible for both iPhone and iPad, although when I tried to access it from my iPhone, it indicated that the application was only compatible with the iPad, as we can see in the header of this article. At this time the application is no longer present in the App Store and it is no longer possible to access its description or download it.
Steven Troughton-Smith through his twitter account has been the developer who has discovered this application and has posted an image of it through iTunes in his account. As we can see, the explanation that Apple offers us is very scarce without giving us to understand if it really is a file explorer, although it has all the earmarks of being one. A file explorer has always been one of the demands of iOS users, but Apple has always refused and has built in ecosystem in which currently a file explorer makes very little sense.
As I mentioned above, when I tried to download the application, I could only do it from an iPad (unfortunately I did not have it at hand), but if this application is confirmed this afternoon, this move would confirm that Apple wants to continue differentiating the version of iOS for iPhone and iPad, device with which Apple wants us to completely forget about our computer to carry out day-to-day tasks.
Steven Troughton-Smith has also found that the Activity app was also available on the App Store, which would allow users without Apple Watch the possibility of deleting the application if they do not have an Apple Watch, an application that if they finally acquire an Apple Watch they could download without any problem directly from the Apple application store.
