US media 9to5Mac reported that Apple’s next OS “iOS 27” will improve the standard email app in three ways.未読バッジの精度向上、メッセージ読み込みの高速化、検索インデックスの信頼性向上の3点で、いずれも長年ユーザーを悩ませてきた不具合の修正です。
Although it’s not a flashy new feature, it’s an improvement that people who use email every day will likely benefit from. Users in Japan are also expected to be able to use it as a free update after the official version is released.
Fixed three complaints such as accuracy of unread badges
9to5Macによると、今回の3つの改善は、iOS27の発表時に紹介された数百項目におよぶ変更点の一覧スライドの中で示されたものです。 Specifically, there are three points:
- Improved accuracy of numbers displayed on unread badges
- Faster message loading
- Improved search index reliability
9to5Mac points out that it is unusual for Apple to promote bug fixes like new features. It can be seen that they are putting effort into not only adding new features, but also improving the stability and comfort of operation.
9to5Mac reporter also points out that it is a long-standing complaint.
The problem of taking a long time to open messages in the inbox has been improved in iOS27.検索については、体感に個人差はあるとしつつ、ベータ版で試した範囲でははっきりと改善を感じられたと記者は報告しています。
Not only new features but also fixes are on the forefront
iOS27では、SiriのAI強化をはじめ、メモ、リマインダー、カレンダーといった標準アプリの機能強化が多数予定されています。メールアプリについては、iPhone Maniaが8月に検索機能の刷新やApple Intelligenceとの統合といった新機能をお伝えしています。 These three points correspond to the part mentioned in the article that “basic operations have been made faster and bugs have been fixed.”
Also, a new feature has been revealed that allows you to use the same phone number on two iPhones.
Of the three points, the accuracy of the unread badge is an issue that causes the red numbers on the home screen to shift.未読が無いのにバッジが消えない、数が合わないという状態は、仕事のメールを扱う人ほど見落としにつながります。 Improvements to the search index will also come in handy when searching for past interactions.
Now available as a free update in Japan
iOS27 was announced in June and is currently in beta testing. Usually, new iOS is officially released in the fall, and it is reported that the official version of iOS 27 will be released on September 15th.対応するiPhoneであれば、日本でも追加費用なしのソフトウェア・アップデートとして利用できる見通しです。
