Night mode is an automatic setting which takes advantage of the new wide-angle camera that's in the iPhone 11 and 11 Pro models. It's equipped with a larger sensor that is able to let in more light, allowing for brighter photos when the light is low.

iOS 8.4 in Development With Possible Support for New Music Service
Along with iOS 8.2 and iOS 8.3, both of which have been seeded to developers in beta form, Apple is also said to be working on an iOS 8.4 update. According to 9to5Mac, the beta is codenamed "Copper," and set to be released later this year at some point after the Apple Watch becomes available for purchase in April.
Given the release timing after iOS 8.2 and iOS 8.3, it's possible that iOS 8.4 will be the update that introduces Apple's new streaming music service. Recent rumors have suggested that Apple's existing Beats music service will be rebranded, revamped with a lower price tag, and integrated into iOS and OS X. A timeline is unclear, but Apple could be aiming for a June launch, sometime around its annual Worldwide Developers Conference.
iOS 8.4 began appearing in MacRumors site logs towards the end of January, with usage spiking up at the beginning of February. The number of visits from devices running iOS 8.4 from both Apple IPs and non-Apple IPs remains relatively low, however, suggesting that development on iOS 8.4 is in the very early stages.

iOS 8.2 has been in developer testing since November, and iOS 8.3, with wireless CarPlay support, a new emoji picker, and Apple Pay for China was just seeded to developers this morning. Along with its iOS 8 projects, Apple is also working on iOS 9, an update that may heavily focus on stability and optimization.

So much iOS news today. So would 8.4 come out around WWDC, with iOS 9 in September? They could show the new music service and have it immediately available.
----------
I doubt that would happen, because that would drop support for the iPhone 5, and in doing so they would drop support for the 4S and the 5. Usually they would only drop support for one generation. iOS 10 (X?) will be all 64-bit.

probably because iOS 9 is going to only be for 64 bit users, but Apple still wants beats subscription numbers to go up, so 8.4 will be the last iOS update for 32-bit hardware.

Jeeze... iOS 8.2, 8.3, 8.4, and 9.0 all in simultaneous development...
I feel bad for the guy who gets to do the code merges.

I would think the streaming service would be the logical flagship feature of iOS9. Why release it as iOS8.4?
Judging by the earlier story, iOS 9 is going to be the "Snow Leopard" of iOS, focusing on under the hood optimisations and performance tweaks rather than features.
About time too if you ask me. Long overdue.
Although I find the fact iOS 8.2 is in beta 5, iOS 8.3 is in beta 1, and iOS 8.4 is under development to be utterly confusing and sums up iOS 8 in its entirety: a mess.

Baked into ios and OS X and for a lower fee?
I better be able to delete it as I'm not paying to be advertised to.

No it wasn't obvious. How is saying to ask someone older me insisting you are a child? Your lack of understanding is not me calling you a child. Ive tried my best to help you understand what I'm saying but its failed over and over again so now I'm adding you to my ignore list. Ive tried, enough is enough.

That post is entirely flawed. From there you've gone on a tangent of incorrect statements. You've proved you're the one that's not understanding. That's why you've had 3 of us challenge you. Your only comeback is basically trying to insult us by veiled attacks on our intelligence.

I get what you're saying, but it does not apply to Beats. If you said iTunes Radio, then you'd be right.
Also, proving you're immature there by asking my parents to explain it to me. I have a masters degree, so think I'm of decent intelligence. I'm in my late 30's. My parents are dead; you inconsiderate fool.
your still not getting it are you :mad::rolleyes:
sleep on it or ask your parents to explain what I've said to you.

Why isn't Apple making Apple Pay in Australia a priority!? We have more nfc enabled terminals than most countries and we also receive updated iPhone models the same day as the US!
It's our banks, they need to agree to it, and like the big four want to skim of any profit to another multinational!
also what is it with MR never putting figures on their graphs? does this represent 5 people or 500? lets say a dot is one person/phone, then you had a total of 4 people visit...wow
