After nearly six weeks of testing, Apple this week publicly released the following software versions: iPadOS, watchOS, tvOS, and HomePod. The studio display has a software update with improvements.
We put together a list of all the new features in the new version of the operating system.
Apple has begun preparing its next wave of software updates, with the first versions of iPadOS, watchOS, tvOS, and HomePod now available. Minor changes and bug fixes are likely to be included in these updates.
Mark Gurman said that the first public version of the software will be released alongside the third developer version.
Gurman suggested that Apple may be behind schedule with the iOS 16 public beta this year, as the first public alpha corresponds with the second developer alpha. Apple's plans are still fluid and subject to change.
New accessibility features will be available later this year with software updates across the company's platforms. The updates that are expected to be announced next month are likely to be referred to.
The new accessibility features include Door Detection, Apple Watch Mirroring, new VoiceOver languages, Live Captions on the iPhone, iPad, and Mac, and more.
Apple accessories like the MagSafe battery pack, the Magic Keyboard/Mouse/Trackpad trio, and the AirPods would switch to the new standard ofusb-c in the future, according to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo.
EU regulators have been pushing for Apple to release at least one iPhone 15 model with a USB-C port instead of the Lightning port.
Gurman reported this week that Apple's board of directors recently received a demo of the device, which appears to be in the final stages of development.
According to Gurman, Apple is working on a platform called "realityOS" or "rOS" that will run on the headset. The headset is expected to be released in a few years.
There are also rumors about a higher-end version of the Apple Studio Display.
