Following reports of iTunes Radio becoming an app in iOS 8 there are now leaked screenshots of what it reported to be iOS 8 show Healthbook, TextEdit and Preview apps.
Apple surely can't be pleased that more and more details about its next-generation iOS 8 operating system are leaking at a fairly fast rate and months before it will show it off to the world at WWDC 2014 in June. We recently reported that Apple plans on moving iTunes Radio from the Music app, where it's currently, and will become its own app and part of iOS 8. Apple is also believed to be giving its Maps app a major update. Recent reports claim Maps in iOS 8 will become much more accurate and will finally live up to Apple's "incredibly high standards." Maps will also reportedly include public transit directions.
Images leaked online of what is reportedly the first screenshots of iOS 8. 9to5Mac claims several of its sources confirmed that the images are in fact legit. The image shows a home screen that looks like the current one found in iOS 7.1, with the exception of four new icons added to the second page. These include Healthbook, Preview, TextEdit, and Tips.
The Healthbook app was revealed a few months ago to be part of iOS 8 and its user interface and icon were said to look very similar to iOS' Passbook app. It is believed that Healthbook will track and store health related information by using the iPhone 5s' and presumably iPhone 6's motion processor and Apple's rumored iWatch smartwatch.
The image shows a Preview icon that any OS X user will be very familiar with. It's the same image used in Mac OS X and the same goes for TextEdit. The site claims that these apps are in early development and might not be apps at all, more of a shortcut to Preview and TextEdit files saved in iCloud. It's unclear what the Tips application is, but likely will be used to provide new iOS users with tips on using the device.
The last image shows a screenshot within the Settings app and its OS version is listed as 8.0. As with all leaks, take these with a grain of salt for now.
