iOS 11 Features For iPhone, iPad, iPod [Infographic]

Recently, Apple has announced iOS 11 at its Worldwide Developers Conference 2017 keynote on 5 June that comes with a comprehensive range of features and some major improvements over its previous version. App developers can download a preview of iOS 11 through its official website.

If you and your family members own multiple Apple devices, and use them to share media such as photos and videos, it makes no sense for each member to have their own iCloud storage plan. Thankfully, iOS 11 makes it possible to have shared iCloud storage plans. Up to six members of a family can share a common iCloud storage plan between them. This can be done without having to incur any extra costs on a monthly basis. Along with this feature, a lot of other features are there. Please check the infographic for more detailed information.

Google Introduces Inbox For iPad

Google’s is introducing it's new e-mail service 'Inbox' on iPad also. It is available in the App Store, but only for U.S. region only. It is based on invite only as of now. Inbox has already made its image clear and it also became a popular email service tool on Android platforms. It better categorizes e-mails and displays important information such as flight itineraries, event information, and photos and documents from friends and family in separate categories.

Inbox builds upon the categories introduced in Gmail last year. The basic concept behind it is grouping similar e-mails together. For example, if you have any product purchase bills generated and sent to your Gmail account it will be categorized in Purchase option. Once done with them, they can simply be swiped away. Users can also customize Inbox by selecting which e-mails they want to see grouped together.

If you want an Inbox account you have to send an e-mail to inbox@google.com to get an invitation to use the service.

Microsoft’s Office For iPad Reaches 12M Downloads

Microsoft Office for iPad was launched last week and since launching the app has been downloaded more than 12 million times as per a tweet of Microsoft. Revenue generated by Microsoft has not been revealed yet. Microsoft's Office for iPad apps are free, so the only way the company would have generated revenue is if the new Office users opt for in-app subscription purchases. Satya Nadella speeded up the long-anticipated app and ignored Microsoft’s previous strategy of linking the app with Windows only.

Microsoft's Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote together received more than 12 million users and this is not including the new user database. So it can be assumed that it might have acquired some millions in a day.

Microsoft released the iPad app last week, and they said that the app/software had been “reimagined, while retaining what people love about Office.”

As per Microsoft, Word, Excel and Powerpoint “have the robust capabilities and familiar look and feel that is unmistakably Office, while offering a fantastic touch experience built from the ground up for iPad."
