11. Sharing Options
iOS lets you quickly share
photos, videos, websites, and
other content with social sites
like Facebook and Twitter. For
iOS 8, they opened the sharing
options to all developers, which
means you’ll have more places
to share.
Photo Editing
Developers can embed their
filters and editing tools directly
into the Photos app. So you
could apply third‑party effects
to images without leaving the
app where you view your
photos.
Custom Actions
With a tap of the Action button, you
can do things like assign a photo to a
contact or print a document. iOS 8
allows developers to extend those
capabilities. For instance, a developer
could make it possible to watermark
documents, add something to a wish
list, or translate text to a different
language.

their photo apps to edit
photos directly in the
Camera Roll without
having to import them first.
14. New gaming technologie
SpriteKit
SpriteKit enables developers to
create high-performance, battery-efficient
2D games. In iOS 8, we’ve
added several enhancements that
will make 2D games even better.
These new technologies will help in-game
characters move more
naturally and make it easier for
developers to add force fields,
detect collisions, and generate new
lighting effects in their games.

SceneKit
SceneKit enables developers to
render game scenes in 3D and is
designed for casual 3D gaming.
SceneKit incorporates a physics
engine, a particle generator, and
easy ways to script the actions of 3D
objects. It’s also completely
integrated with SpriteKit, so
developers can include SpriteKit
assets in 3D games.
Metal
Built for developers who create
highly immersive console games,
Metal is a new technology that will
allow them to squeeze maximum
performance from the A7 chip. It’s
optimized to allow the CPU and GPU
to work together to achieve optimal
performance. It’s designed for
multithreading, and there are great
tools for putting it all together in
Xcode.
15. To spur the next generation of iOS apps, Apple introduce a new
programming language: Swift.
Swift is a programming language introduced by Apple for the conception of the applications and
which run on Mac OSX and devices under iOS. Apple conceived Swift to be easy to use while
maintaining the speed and the flexibility of the languages compiled as C ++.
Swift has all the power of Objective-C, but without the " liabilities of C ", declared Tim Cook to the
public having presented the axes of comparison which show that the language Swift is faster than
Python and more successful than Objective-C.
16. Focus on Touch ID
Touch ID technology allows to use your fingerprint as password on
your iPhone.
Apple opening this feature to the third party apps, the digital
identification can now be used for example in applications to
reach its account or consult personal informations.
Concerning the payment, Apple did not pronounce but Paypal
has already announced to work on the integration of Touch ID
and the payment by smartphone in shop should quickly follow.
Beyond the application, we can even imagine an extension
navigator (Safari) allowing to pay your online purchases.
According to the rumour, the next models of iPad and iPhone will
be equipped with the technology Touch id, which as it is said, will
be improved at the level of the composing.
The chances are high that iPhone and iPad will find different and
complementary uses of this technology.
