1. Apple - iOS 8 - What is iOS
iOS and an ever-expanding collection of features and built-in apps make iPhone, iPad, and iPod
touch even more powerful, innovative, and a joy to use. Here are just a few examples.
Photos
Every photo you take is ready to edit and share in seconds, right from your iOS device. And you can
search for your favorite photos by time, location, and album, or browse by Collections and Moments
-- smart groupings of your photos and videos based on time and place.
Messages
Messages lets you send any kind of message, any way you want to send it. Tap to add your voice to a
conversation. Send a video of what you're seeing the moment you're seeing it. And now you can
manage your group conversations by naming them, adding and removing contacts, muting them, or
leaving them altogether.
Music
When it comes to your music, this is home base. Create playlists for every mood. Or let Genius do it
for you. Listen to iTunes Radio for free and discover new songs and artists. And when you hear
something you like, add it to your collection whenever you want.

Siri
Siri lets you use your voice to send messages, search the web, identify songs with Shazam, and
more. Ask Siri to do things just by talking. Siri understands what you say, knows what you mean, and
even talks back.1

Maps
Apple-designed from the ground up (and the sky down), this built-in app shows you incredible detail
-- even on full zoom. Maps keeps street names where they belong and keeps you heading in the right
direction with spoken turn-by-turn navigation and real-time traffic updates.2

FaceTime
With a tap, you can make video calls or audio-only calls from your iPhone or iPad to someone else's.
And you can do it over Wi-Fi or cellular networks. So you can be there, even when you're not there.3

2. Safari
It's the world's most popular mobile browser. Safari puts the focus where it should be: the web.
When you open a web page, the address and navigation bars move out of the way until you need
them. Bookmarks are easy to add and edit, and features like Reading List, Shared Links, and iCloud
Tabs let you get to the content you need when you need it.4
AirDrop
Sharing with AirDrop is faster and more convenient than an email or a text, especially when the
person you want to share with isn't in your Contacts. Just tap to send photos, videos, contacts -- and
anything else from any app with a Share button -- to anyone nearby who's also running iOSÂ 8 or
OSÂ XÂ Yosemite.5
Health
Now your activity tracker, heart rate monitor, and other health and fitness apps can talk to each
other. Which means they'll be able to work even harder for you. And all the information is accessible
in one easy-to-read dashboard.6

AirPlay
AirPlay lets you wirelessly stream what's on your iOS device to your HDTV and speakers via Apple
TV.7 Or mirror exactly what's on your display to the big screen. Vacation photos, blockbusters, the
latest games -- you choose how to go big.

CarPlay
Available on select new cars in 2014, CarPlay is a smarter, safer way to use your iPhone in the car.
CarPlay takes the things you want to do with your iPhone while driving and puts them right on your
car's built-in display.
