The rumours suggest that iOS 8 is coming this Autumn with a redesigned iphone 6. The main features of iOS 8 are expected to be pre announced by Apple this summer, there has been a few rumours flying around that have already given us some information about what to expect.
Firstly iOS 8 is said to have a greater emphases on health than iOS 7, apple may also integrate it health apps to work with the iWatch, which is rumoured to be in development. It could even come with an app called “Healthbook” that will be able to drag fitness-related information from both the M7 motion co-processor included in the iPhone 5s and sensors that will be included within the iWatch.
However iOS 8 is not expected to feature many design changes like iOS 7 had. Instead Apple is more likely to focus on polishing and updating the existing features of the os such as its Maps, Siri and its iCloud support.
It is also rumoured that Apple’s iTunes own radio streaming music service is likely to be moved from its music app to a standalone app, according to a new report from9to5Mac.
iOS 8 is also expected to come with a new payment system that will be fully integrated into the operating software touch id system.
It remains to seen whether or not all these features will be included within the os. We won’t fully know until the new os gets released alongside the iphone 6 which is likely to take place in the autumn.
