This coming Monday, the 2nd day of Pentecost in this country, Apple’s annual developer conference, Worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC), kicks off. The conference is opened by a so-called “keynote”, where the company will announce updates and new products.
Since WWDC is a developer conference, there is a strong focus on soft news. Every year, Apple unveils the next major version of iOS. Now it’s iOS 16 waiting.
Bloomberg journalist and Apple expert Mark Gurman claims iOS 16 will be a “pretty significant upgrade”.
– It will be packed with changes across the operating system, including updates to alerts, iPad multitasking, and Messaging and Health apps. The overhaul also addresses a part of the interface that is often forgotten: the lock screen, writes Gurman.
End of this
Can reveal iPhone 14 news
The journalist claims that Apple comes with improvements to the lock screen, such as wallpapers with widget-like features.
– I am also told that iOS 16 will come with future support for an always-on lock screen, he writes.
According to Gurman’s sources, this will be an exclusive novelty in the iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max models, which are expected to be launched this autumn. This is a feature we know from both the Apple Watch and many top Android models that allows you to see the time, date and alerts without waking up the screen.
As for the news in the Messages app, this should be about some new social features with improvements to audio messages. The health app is expected to have expanded sleep tracking functionality as well as medication administration.
This is what the rumors about the iPhone 14 say
More software
Simultaneously with iOS 16, new versions of watchOS, macOS and tvOS are also released. There are few rumors about what will be new here.
Apple’s smartwatch usually gets a bunch of new health-related features as well as new dials. The Bloomberg journalist says we can expect significant improvements related to the daily use and navigation as well as changes around dials and the introduction of a new low-power mode.
Will be a door opener
New Macs
On the occasion of a new version of macOS, it is rumored that a new and more powerful M2 chip is just around the corner, one and a half years after M1 debuted.
This means that new Macs may be on the way. MacBook Air is ready for upgrade. Apple has also promised to introduce a Mac Pro with its own M chip.
VR glasses?
There have long been rumors that Apple will launch VR / AR glasses. Apple’s board has recently had to test it out, which according to The Verge Historically, it tends to happen shortly before it is shown to consumers.
If the company does not make a complete demonstration of the product, they can at least offer a sneak peek, experts believe. Some believe Apple has already done so in a photo for the event, The Verge believes. See for yourself:
