Gurman: iOS 16 to Feature 'Significant' Improvements to Notifications, New Health-Tracking Features, But No Major Redesign

Improvements to notifications and new health- tracking features will be included in the upcoming version of the mobile operating system, but will not be a feature major redesign, according to Mark Gurman.

Gurman writes in his latest newsletter that he is not expecting a major redesign of the app, but that the next version will include enhancements to notification and health tracking.

On the iOS side, I'm looking for some fairly significant enhancements across the board, including an update to notifications and new health-tracking features.

I'm not expecting an end-to-end redesign of iOS's interface, even though it hasn't changed much since iOS 7 nearly a decade ago. But there might be a new iPadOS multitasking interface.

The preview of ios 16 and other operating systems will be held during the June 6 to June 10 event.

Gurman said today that watchOS 9 may feature major upgrades to activity and health tracking, but no details are known of what macOS 13 will include, including what it will be called.

Gurman said that Apple is working on several new Macs, including a new MacBook Air, a refreshed 13-inch MacBook Pro, and a new Mac mini. For a complete rundown of what Apple could announce at the conference, see our detailed summary.
