Reviewing Every iOS Version!

What's up guys? This is UltimateDevicevids and today, in this video, we are going to practice with all the major

version

s of iOS, from the original iPhone OS 1 to the latest iOS 15. So we are going to be

reviewing

all the major software updates that have been executed On the iPhone, I managed to install all the iOS firmwares, ordering them again from iOS 1 to 15 on a variety of my devices, with the exception of only two firmwares which are iOS 11 and iOS 13. Surprisingly, some of it was actually difficult get those newer firmwares, but again, all the other iOS firmwares are installed and ready to go and we're going to take a trip down memory lane and take a look at some of the notable features and changes that each of these iOS

version

s have put on the table and okay let's go ahead and jump into it so first of course iphone os one and of course this was made for the original iphone and the original ipod touch so right now just There are some basic apps that came with iOS, like calendar settings, calculator, clock, etc. and on the iPhone there was an SMS text app, of course, the phone app, and a few other additions exclusive to the iPhone, like the notes app, the actions app, the maps app. the mail app the camera app, but it was very simple, there were no home screen pages, there was no app store at the time so you couldn't download apps natively, you couldn't even rearrange the layout of the home screen, as you can see, and all these apps here are very you know, a limited set of options, certainly, nothing like what we're used to seeing in modern versions of iOS, of course, you know it still had things like the alarm app or the clock app which is pretty much unchanged today, but as you can see in the settings here, only a very limited amount of options compared to what we have today, it's crazy to see iOS in its childhood here and there was no app store at the time, so Apple's push when the iPhone and iPod Touch were originally released was for web apps to be a great way to access information - basically just apps to run directly into Safari, obviously that never took off, so they introduced the App Store which takes us to our next version of iOS, which is iPhone OS 2.

So, without a doubt, of course, the App Store was the La main feature of iPhone OS2, of course, gives users the ability to download applications and gives developers the opportunity to provide and sell applications in an official app store and of course this provides the ability to rearrange the icons of the home screen of course because you now have the ability to download apps from the app store and some other notable features include push email as you can see here also mail contacts and calendar settings are now grouped , which on iPhone OS 1 was not the case, in addition to the ability to move multiple emails at once. the standard mail app also added the contacts icon to the iphone home screen on iphone os one, the contacts icon specifically was exclusive to the ipod touch on the iphone, you would simply access it in the phone app and also now can i search contacts in the contacts app iphone os 2 also brought the ability to take screenshots with just the home and power button as well as the scientific calculator which you access in landscape mode like this was the first time it was brought to On any iPhone OS, some iPhone features and shortcuts have also been added, for example the ability to scroll to the top of a page by tapping the status bar.

Parental restriction controls were also added for the first time and the camera now supports geotagging for The first time and as crazy as it is to think of the iPhone without some of these basic features, these initial versions of iPhone OS is what put them over the table and another interesting fact is that the iPhone OS 2 update was free for all iPhones. users, however, for iPod touch users it costs 9.95, which is totally unheard of by today's standards. All iOS updates are free, so there is definitely a change in the business model and of course, next up is iPhone OS 3.

As you can see here, visually it's not a huge amount. update, but some very important and notable features were added in iPhone OS 3. And the most notable, in my opinion, is copy and paste support, so for the first time you can now tap to open the selection menu here. select select all and then you will have the ability to cut, copy or paste as you can see like this so I get a very important step to make the iPhone much more productive and useful and of course you can also use these drag handlers . to select text as you can see like this and another main feature in iPhone OS 3 was the horizontal keyboard as you can see here for the first time, of course, in the past, iPhone screens were very small, 3.5 inches, in early versions, so this horizontal keyboard made things much easier.

Additionally, another notable feature is featured search. This was the first time you swiped this way to the side and had the ability to search your iPhone for app notes etc. Of course, it wasn't that advanced in the Once again, the beginning of a very important feature on the iPhone. iPhone OS 3 also introduced voice memos and compass apps for the first time on the iPhone. As you can see here, this is the original iPhone 2G, so the compass app is not available. It's not supported, but on newer iPhones it was there and also the texting app on iPhone os 2 was renamed to messages of course, iPhone os 2 on the left, iPhone os 3 on the right, too the icon used to say SMS in the middle there as You can see that is no longer the case on iPhone OS 3.

Additionally, iPhone OS 3 offers the ability to sign in to the native YouTube app, as you can see here on iPhone OS 3, now You can log in or before you couldn't. to do that on iphone os 2. and this of course allows the ability to like and favorite videos and all that good stuff. If you guys were around for the native youtube app on ios please leave a comment below and one last feature of iphone os 3. is the ability to delete multiple photos at once as you can see here and below on ios 4. This was the first time iphone was renamed os to ios which is of course a name to date and ios 4 was a big update.

Remember this was actually the first update I did because my first iPod touch was on iOS 3 and I updated it to iOS4 and as you can see here the most notable change is the ability to have a home screen wallpaper in addition to the lock . screen, so you were able to set the same wallpaper for the lock screen on the home screen or a different wallpaper, as you can do today, and the other main feature of ios 4 is multitasking, so for first time We can actually have an app switcher here, which I'll get to in just a second, but I also have the ability that when you're in an app, the app picks up where you left off, so the iPhone OS 3 is here on the left. ios 4 on the right, you can see the difference, so let's say you're in an app as simple as settings and you know you're in some of the menus, here you close the home screen, like you can see on iphone os. 3 you come back, it takes you back to the first opening screen you know, the app has to start completely for the first time on ios 4, as you can see, it picks up where you left off, the app is actually stored in the device memory and Of course, again, you can also double-tap and access any recently opened apps this way to quickly switch between them, as you can see, which is very convenient.

You can also close these apps by tapping and holding and then press the button a little inconvenience and that's how the apps could be closed and if you swipe to the right you have this little iPod widget that was first added so you can play, jump, go back, etc. also the orientation lock feature was new ios 4 so you can lock your iPhone in portrait orientation so that the iPhone stays in portrait orientation no matter what app you are in or no matter what you are doing and just There are some general fundamental design changes, all the icons have been slightly modified compared to iPhone OS 3, as you can see they are a little brighter and a little more realistic, which I like.

Also, the base is actually this new reflective glass instead of the gray one it was previously and just the general running animations. The system for unlocking the device, as you can see, has changed. You already know the physics of scrolling between home screen pages and, of course, app animations. As you can see we are definitely updated to be much more streamlined in my opinion and of course I can't forget the folders, this was the first iOS to bring folders to the table, as you see you can create folders with up to 12 apps at a time. At the same time, you can name them whatever you want and simply drag any application on top. another app and that's it, you can create a folder like that and also Game Center, so this was an app that Apple released for users to compete with other users in games in the app store and all that, of course, it has all your stats and

every

thing for certain games.

Here, that brings back a lot of memories for me about the iPod Touch. Also, Game Center was not added in the initial version of iOS 4, it was added in 4.1 and some other notable changes in iOS 4 were the addition of a unified system. inbox for all your emails and mail apps which was very useful and also the ability to create new playlists in the music and iPod apps without having to do it on your computer and then sync them through iTunes. You can do it right on the device for the first time so without a doubt at the time it was released I think ios 4 was definitely the biggest software update so far and then of course ios 5. as you can At first glance visually, it's not that different from iOS4, but there are a lot of very useful features and changes included under the hood.

In my opinion, it's actually one of the most important updates to the iPhone and I'll start with the notification centers. This was the first iOS to bring a notification dropdown menu to iOS. Of course this was a feature that at the time a lot of people wanted because it was on Android so there is only one center to manage all your notifications, as you can see there are also some widgets that come preloaded and that come back. To what I said earlier about it being one of the biggest updates to the iPhone, I say that because iOS 5 was the first iOS to bring iCloud to the iPhone to bring messages to the iPhone and also to bring over-the-air software updates. to the iPhone, so these are three very important features that sort of decoupled the iPhone from the computer and another thing that iOS5 brought was the ability to set up an iPhone or iPod Touch without reconnecting to the computer, so many of you may not know it. this, but in ios 4 and earlier versions to set up any iPhone or iPod touch you needed to connect your iPhone to your computer with iTunes installed to activate it and manage all your data, you know if it is contact backups, etc.

every

thing had to be done through iTunes on the computer, however with iCloud of course everything changed, you can backup everything, sync everything directly to the device and the same goes for software updates.

Software updates used to be accessible only through iTunes when your iPhone was connected to your computer, but again, iOS 5 was the first time you could do it directly on the device, so again some very important features and infrastructure were added. to the iPhone with iOS 5. And again, as I just said, the ability to configure configures your device without having to connect it to iTunes, so this is another device with iOS 5 that has not been configured, as you can see, This is the first time you can access this menu where you know you select the language. etc. wi-fi and again configure everything on the device.

I know it's hard to believe this didn't exist, but in previous versions of iOS you would only have a connection to the iTunes screen and you would have to plug it in. iTunes set it up and on top of all this again brought imessage for the first time to the iPhone, which is just an absolutely successful messaging service, of course, the whole blue bubble, green bubble, uh, warstarted again with ios 5 and imessage so of course Apple's instant messaging service that works on all devices that are Apple, Mac, iPhone, iPad and also makes it easier to send messages when you don't have cell service because of course it works over the Internet and a few more details on Regarding the new notification center, of course, in addition to having this here in the notification settings, now you can also choose for the first time between having the standard pop-up alert " You know", which was standard in all previous iOS versions.

There were no banners at the time, this was the first iOS to bring banners and of course you could choose between those two things for almost all of your apps which again was a very welcome change at the time and iOS 5 also brought some apps new. stock apps, the reminders app, this was the first time it was added to iOS, as you can see, so it's an app that a lot of people still use today, also the kiosk folder, so although look like an app, it's basically just here you would have a folder where the magazines and articles you downloaded from the app store would appear, so it's no longer available in modern versions of iOS, but it was definitely a staple of iOS 5 at that time. moment and also iOS 5 was the first version of iOS. to split the iPod app that was in previous versions of iOS into two apps: music and videos, again in previous versions of iOS the iPod included all those things, songs, videos, all in one and again with iOS 5, as you can see. have a separate app for music and a separate app for videos, and interestingly, on iPod touches these two things were always separate, but again, this is the first time it was split on the iPhone after iOS 6.

It's not a huge update. overall by my standards, but there are definitely some big features packed under the hood and it's also worth noting that this is the first iOS to ship on the iPhone 5. and a fifth-generation iPod touch with a slightly larger screen of four inches and I have it running on an iPhone 5 right now, so I'd say the biggest change in iOS 6 was the introduction of Apple Maps so traditionally in all previous versions of iOS. Apple used Google Maps for the Stock Maps app. This was the first time they had their own service and if you were around at the time, you would have remembered that the launch was very difficult.

Many complaints from users. There were even many reports. The navigation was completely incorrect and took people to the wrong location, so it was definitely a difficult time for Apple, but it brought some pretty cool features, like flyover, which is a cool feature that allows you to explore areas of this new way. where you can see the buildings and everything you know very close up in this cool 3D type experience, but again I think the overall usability of Apple Maps is definitely features like this that were drowned out by the overall poor quality when it was released initially and also I brought step by turn navigation ios 6 I brought do not disturb iPhones this is a feature that many people use daily I myself included it is one of my favorite features that allows you to filter your notifications and calls to specific people that you determine in settings the ideal app for going to bed at night. iOS 6 also brought the Passbook app, which is just a hub for managing, you know, tickets, boarding passes, coupons, etc. all from one app. iOS 6 also brought a full screen safari so if you're in landscape mode you get this little new button so go full screen like this which was a nice feature and compared to iOS 5 here at the left, in general, throughout the operating system there is a modified design language, for example, the status bar and navigation.

The bar area, as you can see, is a little more blue. There is a blue status bar that is introduced throughout a variety of applications, so it is a kind of modified overall design language and a perfect transition to the next operating system, which is iOS 7. iOS 6. Today in Today it's considered basically the last operating system with this design language and that brings us to iOS 7. So what iOS 7 was at the time and I honestly think it's still today, without a doubt, the biggest iOS update ever released in In terms of just the amount of things changed and updated, iOS 7 was a complete system-wide redesign of iOS, as you can see all new home screen icons, new animations, and of course within apps, even A completely new design, everything has been flattened again from the apps UI.

To the home screen icons, the whole skeuomorphic look of the realistic elements of iOS 6 and earlier is gone with iOS 7. Again, everything has been modernized and flattened and as you can see, this is basically the same language from design that is still present today in ios, so in terms of just being recognizable by modern standards, I think this was definitely when that trend started and one of the main features of iOS 7 was the new app switcher , so for the first time the app switcher now features a full app preview. screenshots so you can see what's happening in an app before you switch to it like this of course all the physics have been redesigned as you can see you swipe like this you swipe up app screenshots to close them as I can see again right at the time this was such a big, crazy update.

I remember you know when it first came out just the excitement of having a completely new experience on iOS and another big feature of iOS 7 was the control center so it was like that. Not only is it related to the design, as you can see, there are also some important features for the first time, the ability to toggle different settings without having to enter the settings app directly through this menu, so the brightness volume The first time a flashlight button to access the flashlight directly from the device without having to use the camera app folders also received a great review. in iOS 7.

As you can see, the whole layout is different besides the layout you can place an unlimited number of apps in each folder. You can simply scroll between pages if you have several here and the layout has of course been updated to fit the rest of iOS 7. Airdrop was also introduced with iOS 7, so the ability to share image files over the air with people, of course, it was overshadowed by the complete redesign of everything, but you know, a very important feature was added, but yeah, guys, overall, of course, Iowa 7 was just about this new system redesign safari.

It was an area that caught a lot of attention of course when you scroll down as you can see the URL bar shrink and the bottom bar disappears just like it currently does on iOS, but of course at the time, This was just a completely revolutionary new experience for users and of course the notification center got some major updates, and you can see that things are now differentiated into three tabs today, which have a ton of widget information about your next day and then everything and they also got lost and something else I remember people being I'm very impressed with Iowa 7 - the live clock icon on the home screen as you can see is actually updating live with the time exact, which at the time was something completely new and some other notable features that iOS 7 brought to the table were Facetime.

The audio, so for the first time you can call people via audio with Facetime again, is often overshadowed by the redesign, but that's something I actually use quite often. Background app refresh was also added with iOS 7, so the ability to have certain apps update their content when you're not directly in them, so the content is ready when you open the app when iOS 7 was released There was a lot of controversy at the time just because a lot of people hated the new design, it was so a departure from what people were used to with the iPhone, so without a doubt in terms of an iOS update it was the most attention that received from the general public.

Next up is iOS 8 in terms of a visual update, nothing huge, really just a build of sorts. about the design of ios 7 with some additional new features that make the experience much better and the first one of which I want to discuss is called interactive notifications, basically this allowed you to display a better notification that has the ability to respond. directly from wherever you are, be it in an app or on the home screen, without having to go to the messages app or whatever app the notification is coming from, at the time this was a highly requested feature and also worth worth pointing out. that ios 8 was the first operating system to run on the largest iPhone 6 and 6 plus at the time, which were the newest iPhones when iosa was released, so of course more icons could be placed on those devices on each page of the home screen and the operating system, of course, adapted to those new screens and another important feature of iOS 8 was the fact that it allowed you to download third-party widgets for the notification center directly from the store of apps and use them here, whether it's a news widget. or espn or whatever, you download it and then you can add it to the menu here and you know, get updates for any widget directly from the notification center. iOS 8 was also the first iOS to let you download third parties. keyboards from the app store too, so the same thing you can download, you know if it's a sliding keyboard, a keyboard that looks different and you can enable it within the settings for the first time and use it system wide like your iosa keyboard.

It also brought the Health app to the iPhone for the first time, so this is basically just a hub for all your health information. You can communicate with other apps you know to send health data here and this played a vital role in the launch of the app. Apple Watch that came out during the iOS 8 release cycle to of course communicate all your steps and fitness tracking data directly to this app so you could see it on your iPhone and it's also worth noting that when released the Apple Watch Apple I added the Apple Watch app in iOS 8.3 at that time so you could sync your Apple Watch and everything through this hub.

Also, continuity and transfer were big boosts in iOS 8, basically communication between your different Apple devices improved, so for example start a task on your iPhone, you can easily pick up where you left off if you want to switch to your Mac and vice versa. iOS 8 also brought airdrop between iOS and Mac OS once again by simply making the connection between your Apple devices. a little better, also SMS sync was a big feature, so basically the ability to sync your non-IM SMS messages with devices like your Mac and your iPad again, although SMS messages only really go through your phone, they will sync. on other Apple devices just to have that synchronicity of your messages.

This is yet another feature I use every day on my iOS 8 Mac. I also brought these word suggestions to the standard keyboard by default, so how can you tap here to get suggestions? that was new with ios 8 and one of these weirder features in ios 8 that a lot of people didn't like was the fact that in the app switcher your recent contacts showed up here, so basically the ability to quickly call or message to people I frequently contact, you could access it directly from the app switcher uh, it was pretty random, I think that's why a lot of people didn't like it, so Apple removed it with iOS 9, which I'll talk about in a moment.

The short lived shuffle feature also ios 8 was the first version of ios where the podcast app came preinstalled. Also, the books app is also pre-installed with ios 8 and the control center has also been redesigned, so there it is. The fact that the different sections are separated from each other is different and when the toggles are enabled they have a different, you know, this spotlight search with white glow effect also got a lot better in iOS 8, it was a lot smarter, it was actually capable of displaying much more information. the web and all that, and I also want to quickly mention thatApple Music was first released on an iOS 8 firmware, it wasn't on the original iOS 8, it was actually on 8.4, pretty late in the release cycle, but even though it was towards the end of the release cycle. software again, iOS 8 was the first OS to bring Apple Music to iOS and the next one, of course, was iOS 9.

So probably one of the most notable updates right off the bat is the new app switcher, so this was The first time iOS introduced this card style app switcher like this instead of the one where the apps were next to each other, this is of course the type of layout that is still present in iOS nowadays. It's much easier to close apps with this layout. iOS 9 too. introduced Apple's stock news app, which is something that a lot of people use on a daily basis, also improved Siri Suggestions and also improved Siri functionality in general were big boosts in iOS 9 just to have more accurate results and just to help. you throughout the day, whether it's suggesting things to you throughout the day or just the general functionality of Siri, as you can see, this new highlighted view has been added with some suggestions. iOS 9 also introduced Low Power Mode, so the ability to toggle your iPhone into a certain mode and turn off certain things to try to save a little more battery.

Additionally, iOS 9 introduced a new San Francisco font throughout the operating system. It's a little subtle, but if you look for it you can definitely see the difference and some other notable improvements were the introduction of the keyboard being case sensitive, so that when you turn off case, you can see the keys actually dynamically adapted and also the introduction of breadcrumbs that allow you to go back to the previous app if you have just been redirected from one app to another simply with a simple shortcut like the one below of course ios 10 so probably the most notable change From the get-go it is removing the slide to unlock, now you just press Home to unlock or open as well, depending on whether you have a passcode or not and when this change was first introduced when released iOS 10, all iPhones, modern iPhones had the Touch ID sensor, so most people didn't even use the slide to unlock for several years. who had the Touch ID sensor, so it honestly wasn't a big deal, but for older iPhones and anyone not using Touch ID, now press Home to unlock and the entire lock screen has also been changed in iOS 10.

As you can see, there are now little page dot indicators at the bottom, so if you swipe like this, you'll have access to your widgets right here on the lock screen in this new layout and if you swipe the other way, will take it. directly to your camera app and once you unlock the device go to the notification center, as you can see it has been redesigned and you can also access those widgets with a slide like this, same list from this area as well. iOS 10 also introduced a new control center layout, as you can see here, completely different from previous versions of iOS.

There are actually multiple pages now, so as you can see, we have a separate music page from all the other options and if you have home devices, home. kit settings, there would be another page for that and you can also see that the buttons actually have different colors when enabled, so that was definitely a cool touch and another big change, people. Which we were really excited about when iOS 10 was released was the ability to remove a variety of standard apps from the home screen for the first time, so of course in all previous versions of iOS you couldn't remove any of these standard apps from the home screen. but as you can see, you can now do this with a variety of apps on ios 10 for the first time, and of course you can re-enable them through the app store, plus new animations for opening, closing apps, and locking and unlocking the device is definitely more subtle but definitely a little more stretchy overall once again here definitely a new look ios 10 also brought the home app to ios so this is a hub for managing homekit devices all through one app built right into ios and there were a ton of updates to the messages app in ios 10.

Added expressive messages so you could add an effect when you send a message. There are also these full screen effects when you send a message so the other person can see it too and also. things like digital touch, the ability to send a little doodle to someone, also a handwritten message and also the functionality to type a word with just normal text and then automatically convert it to an emoji if you want, plus the new part . from the app store for imessage apps and this is something that is popular so people can download different games and play them with other people through imessage and you can also download sticker packs from the app store so just a bunch of some silly features for the messages app that don't really need to be there, but just make the experience a little more entertaining.

I guess notifications in iOS 10 have also been improved with the addition of rich notifications and also across the entire OS. The functionality of the 3D Touch system that was on the last two iPhones at the time, which was the iPhone 7 and the iPhone 6s, has just been improved, so you can use that feature where you press a little harder. the screen in multiple areas throughout the operating system to get new features next of course iOS 11, so probably the most notable thing right off the bat in iOS 11 is the redesigned control center, so you can see once plus a completely new interface, volume. and the brightness sliders now work up and down instead of horizontally, you can also tap and hold these different modules to expand them and get more information and, most exciting of all, iOS 11 finally allowed the ability to customize the control center, not the All just the bottom part of the control center, but if you go into the control center settings, you now have the ability to rearrange and delete certain things, as well as add a lot of additional options that you might know add.

If you like, it's also worth noting that iOS 11 was the first version of iOS supported by the iPhone 10, which is the first gesture-based iPhone without a home button, so of course the design was changed to adapt to the form factor of the new device with all the new gestures and whatnot ios 11 also changes the way the lock screen and notification center are basically the functionality of the lock screen and notification center are merged into ios 11. this is what we still have on ios today so when you go to the lock screen you know of course you have the ability to swipe to get to widgets and get to the camera if you swipe your finger the other way and again for the first time in ios 11 when you actually unlock your device and swipe down to access the notification center.

It is the same interface in previous versions of iOS. It was a slightly different separate graphical interface for the notification center, but things are simplified here. It makes more sense this way, of course you'll still get all those notifications that were just shown. In the same way that they do on the lock screen with again the ability to swipe to access widgets and the camera if you want, iOS 11 also brought a new redesign of Siri with some new voices and also a sort of General update Once again, in the visual appearance, a new screenshot interface was added that actually displays the screenshot and appears in the bottom corner.

You can even tap it if you want to edit it. iOS 11 also brought the Files app to iOS for the first time. So the ability to have a file manager on iOS to communicate with other apps to access different files and even just download files directly to your device if you want. iOS 11 also brought a redesigned app store and a variety of standard app icons. were updated in iOS 11, most notably the App Store and iTunes. Also on the home screen, the app labels in the Dock have been removed and just the general layout of each app with the large text at the top.

The app name was made standard across a variety of iOS 11 apps, so iOS 11 will definitely be a pretty major update after iOS 12. Without a doubt, the main feature was grouped notifications app by app, which In the end, time was something that iOS users really wanted, so they opted for a much more organized notification center. iOS 12 also brought Group Facetime to iOS for the first time. It wasn't in the initial version of iOS 12, it was in 12.1, but it was a pretty important feature. iOS 12 also brought Screen Time for the first time to iOS, so you can know how you're using your device, how much time per day, how much time you're doing on different things, and even set restrictions for yourself if you want to use iOS. 12 also brought the measuring app to the iPhone, an app that allows you to measure the length of different things simply using the camera and some technology.

This is an older iPhone 6, so it's not on this iPhone, but it is on newer iPhones. iOS 12 did bring Siri Shortcuts was also a very important feature in iOS 12, the ability to set up these automations and have them do different things next in iOS 13 and without a doubt the main feature was Dark Mode with the ability to enable or disable it through either of the two. In the control center or in the settings app again, you just have the possibility to turn all your apps into a dark theme which is much easier on the eyes at night and on iPhones with OLED screens, it's actually a black true, so it definitely has a really good feature on the volume.

The hud that normally interrupted the entire screen and appeared in the middle was finally moved to a more minimal location on the side of the screen, which was great. Additionally, the native iOS keyboard received swipe support, so you can just swipe it like that. As most Android phones have been able to do, iOS 13 also features a revamped Photos app with improved organization and whatnot, iOS 13 also brought Air Pods audio sharing, so basically the ability for two people to They have Airpods to listen to the same thing from the same device. and with the death of 3d touch, ios 13 also brought all 3d touch actions now called haptic touch actions to all iphones, ipads and ipod touch by simply tapping and holding any app icon regardless of the device you have and the next ios. 14.

As you can see here, without a doubt, the main feature of iOS 14 was the ability to add widgets directly to your home screen, so this includes Apple's own and you can also download third-party ones from the store Of applications. put your device in edit mode on the home screen, press more and again you will have the ability to scroll back here, add widgets of a variety of different sizes, as you can see, and you can even stack them on top of each other if you drag them one on top of each other like any other app and then you have the ability to switch between multiple widgets in a small stack. iOS 14 also brought the App Library to iOS, so with just a swipe left on the last page of your home screen, you basically have access to this list of all the apps on your device sorted through these different suggestions if you swipe down or tap on the search bar you just have a complete list of all the apps on your device, you can scroll alphabetically if you want Plus basically an app drawer for iPhone ios 14 also allows you to hide pages of the individual home screen if you go back to edit mode and then tap these dots at the bottom you can uncheck and bookmark certain home screen pages to hide them and on the other hand as you can see you only have as many pages as you want , this works well with the App Library because you can still access any of the apps that were on the hidden pages in the App Library and of course you can re-enable them. pages by simply marking them back in this small menu, iOS 14finally it also brought a compact UI for incoming calls so that it doesn't interrupt what you are doing on your device.

The same goes for Siri instead of taking up the entire screen. It's just a smaller dot at the bottom of the screen and also replies appear at the top of the screen, so the messages app has some new features. You can now pin conversations to the top of the Messages app to make them stand out. from the rest for easy access just like that and you can also reply to specific messages, whether in a group chat or in an individual thread, you can now also set third-party apps to be the default browser for your iPhone or the default email client for your iPhone and guys, that updates us directly to the latest version of iOS right now, iOS 15.

So, without a doubt, a major feature of iOS 15 is the addition of focus modes, so you can set different focus modes that allow different people to be able to contact you or not depending on what mode you are currently in, for example when you are at work you could have a work setting that only allows certain people to contact you , maybe your coworkers and maybe certain apps to be able to send you notifications or not, there is a huge amount of control you can have over each of these modes, you can even control which home screen pages will be displayed or not depending on the focus mode you are currently using.

Facetime also received big improvements in iOS 15. Share Play is now introduced, which basically allows you to watch a video or TV show at the same time with another person. Facetime of course has limited support right now for a certain subset of apps, but hopefully as time goes on more apps will be supported and that wasn't in the initial version of iOS 15 that was just added recently in 15.1. you can share your phone screen with someone else so you can show them what you are doing on your device via Facetime and now you can also create Facetime links so this is very similar to zoom where you can create an event type , you can even schedule it for the future and have people join on the web, so this also allows people using Android or Windows or any other operating system to use Facetime over Facetime links.

Safari also received a big redesign in iOS 15. As you can see, the address bar has been moved to the bottom of the screen, there are new gestures to switch between open tabs by swiping the bar, you can swipe it again to create a new tab , swipe up like this to see all your tabs in this new grid interface Of course, notifications have also been redesigned and are much smaller than iOS 14 and previous versions of iOS, as you can see in this direct comparison Of course , ios 15 on the right ios 14 on the left The weather app has been completely redesigned and reworked in iOS 15 and in the last few years I think Apple acquired Dark Sky, which is a very popular weather app that used to exist, however, for Of course, now that they own that company, they're starting to incorporate some of the elements of that right into the weather app in iOS 15, you also know nice new animations and all that, of course, in addition to all the new information, iOS 15 also introduced a notification summary that basically helps you organize your notifications in priority from most important to least.

Importantly, also live text was another feature that Apple gave a lot of importance to in iOS 15, so basically the ability to copy text from any image as if it were a body of text like this and then be able to paste it as you can see. here and it works like this I think it's pretty impressive and okay guys there you have all the versions of iOS from the original iPhone OS 1 up to iOS 15. Things have certainly come a long way and if I had to choose a favorite iOS version I would have than to be iOS 7.

As I said before, in my opinion, it was the biggest update iOS has ever seen and I will never forget when it was first announced how excited I was to get my hands on it and in fact, I will never forget installing it on this same iPhone 4 and again very excited to play with all the new features and redesign, so if you have a favorite iOS version, let me know below in the comments section. what is it and also let me know the oldest iOS version you used. So what was your first iOS firmware? Mine was iPhone OS 3 on the second generation iPod Touch, but that's okay, everyone's done with this video.

Thank you so much. For watching it, I have to tell you that Apple doesn't make it easy to go out and install all these firmwares, but it was worth it for this video. Thank you all so much for watching this video and I'll see you in the next one.
