The 2022 Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) begins this Monday. It is Apple’s annual software conference, which will have its keynote at 6:00 p.m. in Lisbon this Monday with online broadcast.
Like the 2020 and 2021 events, this one will be broadcast exclusively through that channel, without an in-person event. There we will have the opportunity to learn about all the news that awaits us in the different Apple operating systems. You can watch it on Apple’s YouTube channel, from the video below.
What to expect from WWDC 2022
iOS 16
This will be one of the highlights of the conference. According to rumors, we can expect new wallpapers for unlock screen with widgets. Notification improvements are also expected. Which, by the way, they really need.
The messaging app will focus more on audio, and the health app will add sleep and medication management features. New Apple apps are also in the works, but information is scant.
Another rumor suggests that the iPhone 14 Pro will arrive with the possibility of an always-on screen. Therefore, this functionality can also be referred to, which will only arrive at least in September with the product.
iPad OS 16
According to the latest rumours, iPadOS 16 will be more focused on the desktop experience and less on the smartphone. A new multitasking interface is expected, making it easier to manage multiple applications at the same time.
macOS 16, see OS 9 and tvOS 16
Details about macOS 13 are scant. It is believed that Apple may change the system preferences for an experience closer to that of the iPhone and iPad. It could be called macOS Mammoth.
Marginal improvements are expected in watchOS 9. Superior battery savings, more exercise types, and new watch faces are among the new features. As for tvOS, better integration with your smart home devices is expected.
New MacBook Air?
As always, the rumors speak of the possibility of hardware being presented at this event. There is talk of a new MacBook Air, Mac Pro or AR/VR headset. But as always, we need to keep expectations low, as this is often a software-focused event.
