Here is the complete iOS 8 changelog

Apple iOS 8 went official yesterday at the company's WWDC opening keynote. Several interesting features were announced and demoed on during the event, but a lot more were left out of the spotlight. Luckily, Apple at least listed those on its iOS 8 conclusion presentation slide.

So, Apple iOS 8 is another game changer for the company, but this time it's not the design Apple is focusing on. It's the third-party access to core system functionality and developer APIs.

Here is what we saw yesterday:

• Refined UI in multi-tasking, Mail, Messages, third-party sharing options among other system apps.




• Safari plugin support, bird-eye tab view for iPad




• iCloud Drive with 5GB free storage




• Third-party keyboards, adaptive default one




• Family Share - share and control the content across Apple IDs using the same credit card, children app purchase requests




• Handoff support with Mac OS X Yosemite - continuity from any iOS 8 iDevice to Mac OS X, instant automatic hotspot, SMS/MMS/iMessages and voice calls transition supported




• New Photos with smart editing, search, third-party filters




• Health pack




• Better Spotlight with automatic internet suggestions from popular services such as Wikipedia, Maps, IMDb




• Enterprise easy setup




• Better Siri with voice activation, Shazam integration, 24 new dictation languages




• Third-party widgets in Notification Center




• Updated App Store with category browsing, Beta apps, Bundles




• China gets lunar calendar, turn-by-turn navigation, better weather data

And here is what Apple listed, but didn't bother to detail:

• Safari Private Browsing per tab




• Camera: Instant Burst Mode, Timer, separate focus and exposure, Panorama for iPad




• Integrated iBooks with auto night mode, Book Series support




• Battery usage per app statistics

This is what we know so far about the new iOS 8. While the iOS 7 brought the massive UI overhaul, the iOS 8 focuses on extensibility. It comes this Fall for iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, iPhone 5c, iPhone 5s, iPod Touch 5, iPad mini, iPad mini 2, iPad 2, 3, and 4 as well as the iPad Air.
