It took until April to get official word, but we finally have a few details on the 2022 edition of the Worldwide Developers Conference. We can expect to see a lot of software announcements and maybe a few hardware ones, if we are lucky, at the free online event for developers called WWDC.
There were a lot of stories this week, including the start of a new cycle of operating system betas, as well as some new rumors about the iPhone 14 Pro Max and the AirPods Pro 2.
The Worldwide Developers Conference is returning June 6 through June 10. For the third year in a row, the event will take place in an online format, but a limited number of developers will be able to attend an in-person viewing party for the State of the Union videos at Apple Park.
Apple is expected to unveil its latest software platforms, includingiOS 16 for the iPhone, iPadOS 16 for the iPad, macOS 13 for the Mac, watchOS 9 for the Apple Watch, and tvOS 16 for the Apple TV. There are rumors that a new Mac Pro with Apple Silicon may be unveiled this year.
The first public and developer versions of the new iPadOS will be released this week. There are a few new features and changes.
We have rounded up all the new features in the firstiOS 15.3 beta, including Apple Pay Cash, more Apple Classical app references, and more.
The first watchOS 8.6 and tvOS 15.5 were seeded by Apple.
While we are still five months away from Apple announcing its lineup of devices, rumors are starting to ramp up.
According to the latest rumor, the iPhone 14 Pro Max will feature 20% thinner bezels around the display.
The Mac lineup was in a bad state five years ago. The iMac, MacBook Air, and Mac mini had not received any updates over the past three years, while the Mac Pro had been updated with a sleek but constrained enclosure.
Apple apologized to pro Mac users, which set the stage for the Mac's renaissance over the past few years.
If the latest rumor is to be believed, new AirPods may be on the horizon, nearly two and a half years after Apple introduced the first one.
The second-generation AirPods Pro will be released in the second half of 2022, according to an analyst. There are rumors that the new AirPods Pro could have a more compact design, motion sensors for fitness tracking, and other new features.
In March, Apple came out with an updated version of its cheapest phone, the iPhone SE. In one of our latest videos, we compared the two phones to see how they measure up.
The A53 5G can offer a better feature set, but it cannot match the quality of the iPhone SE.
