WWDC22 Ahead: These 10+ key things to watch for at the upcoming Apple event
This year's WWDC22 Worldwide Developers Conference will take place on June 7 at 01:00 a.m. BST, and will continue to be broadcast live online. Apple has also invited a number of developers and student developers to attend WWDC22 offline at Apple Park headquarters. Apple has also previously released information and launched a number of pre-event initiatives, such as opening the WWDC22 page and click on the Memoji at the top of the page to see the little AR eggs Apple has prepared this time.
According to the rumors, this WWDC may announce some hardware information, such as M2 chip, new MacBook, the first VR headset It is certain that the new upgrades of iOS, iPadOS, macOS, watchOS and tvOS will all be presented in this event.
In this post, we'll provide you with this WWDC22 preview, taking into account the latest domestic and international intelligence on the launch.
iOS 16
iOS 16 will probably retain most of the design language of iOS 15, so there won't be much change in the visual senses of users. The focus of this update will be on functional optimizations and enhancements.
The last big change to Apple's lock screen was in iOS 10, when Apple changed the classic swipe right to swipe up to unlock. And with iOS 11, Apple was the first to add a "flashlight" and "camera" shortcut button to the lock screen on iPhone X.
Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reveals that the lock screen interface in iOS 16 will undergo major changes, such as the lock screen interface will support widgets and more, and the Always on Display feature may be supported on some models of the iPhone 14 series.
iOS 16 Always on Display Concept DiagramSecondly, as information about the iPhone 14 series of phones, the hottest thing right now is the way the display 'exclamation point' is cut out. If some of the next-generation iPhone models feature a non-bangscreen design, there will be minor tweaks and updates to the top status bar of iOS to accommodate the new hardware design. As the top space is freed up, users may get more current information in the top status, such as battery percentage.
iPhone 14 series exploded into health features and apps as an area where Apple continues to make a push, with the year before ushering in Apple Fitness+. And in this year's iOS 16, Apple may continue to add new features to the Health App, including more robust sleep analysis, medication management and women-specific health features. But for now, there may still be no plans for the Health App to sync to iPadOS or macOS.
Device support for the Health AppiOS in iOS 15 has been a major concern for users. As per iOS 13, iOS 14, iOS 15, Apple dropped all devices with less than 2GB of RAM. If iOS 16 runs with a minimum limit of 3GB RAM, then the iPhone 7 series, iPod Touch 7th generation, iPad Air 3rd generation, etc. could be moved out of the support list.
iPadOS 16
iPadOS has evolved in recent years to align with computer operating systems and expand its usage scenarios. iPadOS continues to improve and make iPad more than just an entertainment tool in your hands. In this year's iPadOS 16, there may be a "more powerful interaction" update.
According to the leak, Apple will not only enhance the multitasking options in iPadOS 16, allowing users to see their open apps more quickly. it will also allow them to quickly find their recently used files in the Dock bar. In addition, users will be able to resize the hovering App window to the size they need. Developer Steve Troughton-Smith's discovery also goes some way to The news is corroborated by the following.
watchOS 9
Apple Watch Series 7 further expands the watch's screen real estate, and more screen real estate means enhanced usability and viewing for users. In the latest watchOS 9, Apple will continue to redesign and update the dials, releasing many new large-screen dials for users to choose from.
Apple Watch currently has a low battery mode feature that, if enabled, will disable all other actions and functions on the watch and only allows the user to view a simple digital clock. In watchOS 9, Apple will introduce a new Low Power Mode, which will not only keep the Apple Watch running, but also allow access to simple apps and features.
Low battery mode in watchOS 8The fall detection in Apple Watch is a very useful feature, and in wacthOS 9 Apple may bring a new collision detection feature. In Apple's latest patent, Apple has researched and analyzed data shared anonymously by iPhone and Apple Watch users, matching it with data from collisions and calls to 911, to design a new crash test algorithm that will allow Apple Watch to determine if a user has suffered a collision by detecting a sudden change in gravity.
Fall detection on Apple WatchIn addition to this, watchOS 9 will include a new motion tracking program and optimizes Apple Watch's sleep monitoring and heart rate monitoring capabilities.
macOS 13
Each generation of macOS has its own number, but they are better known by their codenames, such as Yosemite, Sierra, Mojave, Monterey, and so on. According to the press, Yosemite Research LLC, the shell company Apple used to trademark the system, has filed a patent for a related trademark called "MAMMOTH," meaning macOS 13 could be named after a name related to Mammoth.
It is reported that the System Preferences in the new macOS will be completely revamped and aligned with the design of iPadOS and iOS The new version of macOS is said to be a complete overhaul of System Preferences, and to be in sync with the design of iPadOS and iOS, for example by supporting individual settings for each App.
tvOS 16
tvOS is obviously less attention-grabbing compared to the first four. According to information revealed by foreign media, this year's tvOS 16 is mainly around smart home to strengthen, not revealing more effective information for now.
New hardware
According to Bloomberg and Tianfeng International analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, Apple's AR/VR head-mounted display device is not yet in mass production and still needs some preparation time, despite the large number of media reports about the realityOS trademark and related source code information earlier this month. It's not expected that there will be any announcements about VR or its operating system realityOS at WWDC. If the latest hardware is announced at WWDC, it will most likely be the new MacBook Air with Apple's Silicon architecture M2 chip. -wwdc-unveilings/).
Following Apple's launch of the Studio Display display at this spring's event, there are also rumors that at WWDC in June Apple is also announcing a new display, the Studio Display Pro, with the big difference being that the new model will support HDR displays. However, there's no more news on this product for now.
In addition, Apple announced at its spring event that the next and final product in its Apple silicon architecture migration plan will be a Mac Pro model for more professional users, which, combined with WWDC's professional focus on the developer community, may also be announced at WWDC.
Summary
Apple announced second quarter results on its official news page a short while ago, with March quarter revenue reaching a record $89.6 billion, a year-over-year International sales accounted for 67 percent of the quarter's revenue, up 54 percent, with diluted earnings per share of $1.40 for the quarter. And in an environment of global chip shortages in recent years due to the epidemic, can Apple once again give users and developers a great system upgrade at WWDC, and what surprises can it bring to you in terms of hardware? Let's wait and see.
