Last Monday Apple invited us again to an event that takes place every year in June. The WWDC is the developers’ conference in which the news regarding software that the Cupertino company will apply from next fall is presented and displayed.
This event has confirmed the path that Apple wants to continue working on, developing its own operating systems to make them increasingly efficient, with a better experience and never lose practicality. These new versions of operating systems will affect devices such as the iPhone, iPod, iPad, Apple Watch and Mac computers, as well as Apple TV.
iOS 15, not too many changes, but efficient
Apple’s operating system par excellence is going to have some improvements that will make the experience much more versatile. These are some of the news.
– Changes in FaceTime : The application to make audio and video calls will have improvements, such as clearer audio and free of noise, the possibility of blurring the background or compatibility with Android devices.
– Notifications: these will be grouped according to your priorities so that they are less invasive.
– Maps: more powerful devices will be able to access versions of maps that will leave you open-mouthed. Realism takes over in iOS 15.
– Live Text: using your device’s camera, you can scan a hand-copied text and automatically convert it to digital format, as well as translate it.
– iMessage: the Messages application will undergo a slight redesign, to make it even friendlier.
– Share Play: share your multimedia contents with any other device with a simple function.
Likewise, there are minor changes in other applications such as Health or Photos. For example, the possibility for the device to make animated montages with your photos from the gallery and songs from Apple Music will also be present.
iPadOS, boosting productivity
The iPad already has an operating system with its own entity since the previous edition. It is emerging as a strong commitment to productivity , since among its improvements is advanced multitasking, with which the device can handle various applications at the same time without affecting its performance. Apple has incorporated the automatic translation function with the camera, it will be enough to focus on the text that we want to translate and we will have it at our disposal.
In the same way, taking a quick note will be possible for those who have the Apple Pencil. But there is no doubt that one of the improvements is the Application Library, which we have already seen how it works since iOS 14 on the iPhone, and which allows you to have all your applications organized and hide those that you use the least.
Let’s go to monterey
We know that Apple names the operating system for its computers after the names of places in the state of California. This year we will go through Monterey, yes, with only one r. As in the iPad , in this new version productivity is boosted to make your device do everything you want.
For example, the famous shortcuts that have been running for years on iOS are going to see the light of day for Mac computers. The Safari browser will have a different way of organizing tabs, even simpler. You can also share the screen of your Mac through the Airplay system, without using any type of cable.
WatchOS 8, the logical evolution
Apple has always provided paramount importance to the health guidelines is a smart watch. In this case, the marked path continues.
The Breathing app will be replaced by one of similar characteristics called Meditate, which will have the virtue of being able to monitor your sleep so that you can improve it. The Apple Watch receives a slight face lift thanks to this new version of its operating system.
The new iCloud + service
For any Apple user, iCloud is the gateway. This year we will see a very important renovation in this regard, since it will enable fully useful functions. For example, as privacy is a matter of utmost importance for this company, all content that leaves the device will be encrypted in two ways. We could say that it is the same function that a VPN performs.
But it also incorporates a very interesting measure, such as hiding your own email in both Safari and Mail. To do this, it will create random email addresses that, when they have responses, will send them to your associated email. In this way it will be easier to get rid of commercial propaganda or to put your lifetime email to register for a promotion.
It will also allow to remove the limit of five cameras that HomeKit currently has. Now you will not have any kind of limit in this regard. What Apple has not revealed in its WWDC is whether it will finally eliminate the free 5 GB associated with your iCloud account, something that in the 21st century is totally meaningless.
If you want to try any of the beta versions that are already available, you just have to have a developer account. In any case, it is best to wait for the public beta versions that will begin to be launched in the next few weeks. Although if you are not in any rush, September is around the corner and you can enjoy the final versions in their fullness.
