![]() ![]() Of these announcements, the first of two relates to the preview of the next in the line of the Mac’s operating system, macOS. The largest draw to WWDC by developers and users alike is arguably the software-based announcements. Often, the keynote serves as the first official look at the latest versions of Apple operating systems for macOS, iOS, iPadOS, watchOS and tvOS.Īnd 2022’s keynote is no exception, as we summarize the key takeaways in Apple’s release schedule: It also provides everyone an initial preview of what’s to come in the next few weeks and months. ![]() ![]() On the first day, the keynote speech serves as the official kickoff to the event, as well as a welcome message to attendees. This not only provides all attendees a glimpse into the future of what Apple has to offer software-wise but also provides developers globally the opportunity to network, attend conferences and workshops and otherwise lay the groundwork for the apps and services they can bring to users of Apple product lines. During this annual event, Apple takes time to focus on developers and solutions providers, providing them a peek behind what Apple’s been working on in the software arena. Time will tell whether that’s even possible.It’s that time of the year again, WWDC 2022 is being held online for everyone that wishes to participate around the world. During Apple’s demo, Stage Manager made the iPad display look claustrophobic, and we’d like to use all of an external display for one iPad app. It’s hard to say whether this will satisfy our long-running gripe about external display support on iPad. And then there’s Stage Manager, coming across from Mac, which also works with – cue: fanfare – external displays. A bigger one is Reference Mode, for consistent colour compositing across devices. Much of this will be through smaller features like inline find and replace and customisable toolbars. But the onus appears to be on making iPad better for pros. iPadOS 16 turns ‘pro’ up to, well, about a 7Īpple announced the Weather app is (finally) coming to iPadOS and used the segment to demo features that are coming to its other kit too (better collaboration the Freeform multi-user whiteboard app). It feels like someone at Apple couldn’t decide the best way forward to manage windows and so hedged their bets by giving users two. And Stage Manager – a mash-up of the Dock and Spaces – is deeply weird, given that the Mac… has a Dock and Spaces. Good.īut Continuity Camera, where you use your iPhone as a webcam, feels like a tacit admission about how poor Mac (or, cough, Apple Studio Display) cameras are. The ‘smaller’ features include Apple finally paying attention to Mail (new search scheduled send remind me), beefing up Spotlight (Quick Look timer triggers musician info) and preparing to eradicate passwords. Now played by Jim Carrey, the latest macOS is a strange beast. (And if you’re wondering whether we forgot about tvOS this year… so did Apple.) macOS Ventura glues itself to your devices The new medications app looks handy, and there are new features for sleep and running tracking. Grr.Īs ever, Apple Watch is mostly about new faces (including a fancy astronomy one with live cloud coverage and a cartoon one with stupid animated numbers) and keeping you healthy. Conspicuous in its absence: an App Library Dock option. Fun times ahead when dad deletes the entire library or mum turns everyone bright blue.Įlsewhere: Maps is still playing catch up with Google Maps circa several years ago, Photos lets you snazzily drag and drop objects from pics, and Quick Note finally rocks up on iPhone, presumably with a note explaining why it’s a year late. The last of those things includes a feature that doubles as a threat: everyone will be forced to suffer everyone else’s edits. You can also personalise spatial audio, faff about with new notification types, and share photo libraries. With iOS 16, Apple’s letting you fiddle with the Lock Screen so you can add a row of tiny widgets. Yeah, it’s all numbers, but those numbers mean more power and more speed – without more heat and hammering your battery. ![]() You can get an extra two cores on the GPU and up to 24GB of RAM rather than 16GB.
