iOS8揭秘：家庭共享新功能拯救老爸

    家庭共享功能还拥有其他几个优点。它将自动生成一个共享的家庭日历、iCloud相册、提醒清单，并通过“查找我的朋友”功能对家人定位，以及使用“寻找我的iPhone”功能查找家庭成员丢失的设备。很明显，对于无力负担使用复杂服务器软件来管理多台设备的小企业来说，它们完全可以利用这一功能（对管理上述软件的公司员工来说更是如此）。

    苹果有望于9月9日推出新iPhone；待新iPhone面世之后，iOS 8的正式发布估计也就不会太远了。而这意味着，不久之后，我的生活将出现以下场景：

    我女儿在浏览了苹果商店后找到了一款她认为自己会喜欢的应用或游戏。她点击了购买按键，然后出现了一个对话框，提醒她我已经在我的iPhone或iPad上收到了一条消息。我设备上的这条消息则告诉我，我的孩子想要购买某款应用，但是我正在开会，因此它在随后不断提醒我。收到提醒之后，我点击“查看”键，并藉此直接登录苹果商店，在这里，我可以看到有关该应用更多的信息。我认为这一应用是合适的，并允许女儿安装。

    当我回到家后，她再次带着那种让我招架不住的眼神走过来。但是这一次，她说：“爸爸，能和我一起玩这款游戏吗？”（财富中文网）

    Family Sharing comes with a few additional benefits. It will automatically enable a shared family calendar, iCloud photo album, Reminders list, and the abilities to view a family member’s location through Find My Friends and find a family member’s lost device using Find My iPhone. It’s not hard to see how this functionality could be applied to a small business that can’t afford complicated server software to manage a fleet of devices (let alone a staff member to manage said software).

    Apple is expected to introduce a new iPhone on September 9; when that happens, it’s likely that the official release of iOS 8 won’t be far behind. Which means it won’t be long before a scene like this enters my life:

    My daughter looks through the App Store and finds an app or game she thinks she would enjoy. She taps on the purchase button and is shown a prompt letting her know I have received an alert on my iPhone or iPad. The alert on my device informs me one of my children would like to purchase an app, but I’m in a meeting, so it reminds me later. When that happens, I tap on the “Review” button, which takes me directly to the App Store where I can read more about the app. I deem it appropriate and allow her to install it.

    When I return home, she approaches me with those eyes again. But this time, she says, “Dad, will you play this game with me?”
