For the most part, iOS 8 looks like an under-the-hood revamp of last year’s update. You’ll be able to interact with notifications right from the lock screen and change your iPhone’s keyboard, for example. Apple is also opening up the platform a bit more to developers: Apps will be able to share data with each other, which is something only special apps could do in the past.
