Well, you are good to go now, but lets see what can be configured. Go to Settings (of your iPhone) and you'll see a new item called "Notifications". Then you will see a list of apps that uses the push notification service. So now, how does this work in live, Badges, there is no need to explain. The Sounds, umm, it would be nice if the user can choose a tone like the ringtones; it probably will depend on the app, but the AP News buzz sound is not good for ones heart.
Also, it might be nice to have a time schedule in which you can turn it off at night. BTW, if you are curious, it does work with both carrier network or Wi-Fi. In the above picture, the phone is in Airplane mode with Wi-Fi on, although the Wi-Fi icon is not on.
May be it works without any Internet connectivity. Now, my opinion on this: I think this really does not replace background processing. For example, with the AP News app, you launch the app after receiving a notification which takes at least few seconds. Then, the app really doesn't show you the related article; or at least it wasn't obvious to me.
Think about using this with an IM app, constantly switching apps going back and forth with another app, each time logging in and out of your IM session. Push Notification is probably for applications such as emails or news updates. If you are playing games, doing some research on the web and wanting to IM chat with someone going back and forth, this is not yet the solution.
“Of course, everything is shooting things,” says CEO Tim Cook with a wry smile during a brief stop in the design studio. Apple starts planning its keynote events four months in advance, and as September approaches Phil Schiller is sweating over just how long this one might go. “We’re trying hard to keep it under two hours,” he says. “I think we’re going to be over.” This, too, can be pinned on the designers.
“We’ve never released a feature to make a date,” says Ive. They also don’t hold features back. Things are ready when they’re ready, and this season is swollen with new ideas. Sure enough, by the time OneRepublic finished singing, the show had clocked in at 2 hours and 20 minutes. 149 for a 32GB version) that app-ifies video, has a remote for gameplay, and gets close to a universal search function that finally brings order to the chaos of streaming services and broadcast options.
“The biggest worry for me is, are we getting too locked in a formula, ” asks Schiller. He recalls the 2002 Worldwide Developers Conference, at which Steve Jobs delivered a eulogy for Mac OS9, complete with cheesy organ music, a smoke machine, and a casket rising through the middle of the stage.
“We haven’t done anything quite that outlandish in a long time. It may be part of being a bigger company, not this small upstart. When Ive’s promotion to chief design officer was announced in May and his deputies were given more day-to-day authority, the cottage industry of Apple gossip sites surmised this was the beginning of a slow fade. Ive was said to be too impatient for a company of massively integrated product lines. There’s no evidence this is true, and the relationship between Ive and Cook is close and mutually admiring.
But Ive is vigilant in guarding against the creative dangers of Apple’s enormity. He regularly asks himself, “Are we developing stuff to make things easy for ourselves, or are we developing products to move this forward, Ive is proud of 3D Touch because it improves the experience of owning an iPhone, but he’s also proud of what it says about Apple.
