WWDC 2022 is scheduled to take place a week from now. On June 6, well learn
more about Apples plans regarding iOS 16, iPadOS 16, watchOS 9, macOS 13,
and tvOS 16. In addition, we could also see Apple unveiling new hardware or
teasing a future product. Heres what to expect from Apples Worldwide
Developers Conference.
iOS 16 coming at full speed
What can be more interesting than a whole new iPhone operating system?
During WWDC 2022, well learn everything about the operating system that
will give soul to the next iPhone generation.
So far, rumors say Apple is planning to revamp the notification center and
the lock screen, while adding more capabilities to the Focus Mode, announced
last year.
In addition, Bloombergs Mark Gurman says iOS 16 could build future support
for an always-on lock screen on the long-rumored iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max.
The journalist also thinks iOS 16 will bring:
Wallpapers that have widget-like capabilities
Social network-like functionality to Messages
New Health features
WWDC 2022 could finally unlock the iPads potential with iPadOS 16
iPadOS 16 rumors are a mix between inside information and what users have
been asking for a long time. Gurman says hes expecting major changes to
windowing to windowing and multitasking.
If that turns out to be true, iPad users could finally take advantage of
beautiful hardware already available with the latest iPad Pro and iPad Air
models with the M1 chip.
Just like iOS 16, iPadOS 16 is likely to feature a revamped lock-screen and
notification center, plus expanded functionalities to Focus Mode. Maybe a
Calculator and Weather app? Who knows.
macOS 13 could be as big as Mammoth
9to5Mac has a few reasons to believe that Apple will introduce macOS 13
Mammoth during WWDC 2022.
Not only that, but with the transition from Intel Macs to the companys
silicon now concluded, there will be a ton of features exclusive to the M1
Macs.
Gurman, in his latest Power On newsletter, said the Mac will get some
redesigned apps during WWDC 2022 and a much-needed overhaul to System
Preferences to make them more in line with Settings on iOS.
While the Health app wont come to macOS 13 which means another year
without Apple Fitness+ on the Mac users can expect good features coming to
this operating system.
watchOS 9: Time is ticking for WWDC 2022
watchOS 9 is expected to receive some love from Apple during the WWDC 2022
keynote on June 6. Previous rumors believe the company will finally update
old Watch Faces to look better on bigger displays, such as the ones
available with Apple Watch Series 7 lineup.
In addition, there will be a better low-power mode feature, and significant
improvements that affect day-to-day operating and navigation of the Apple
Watch. Expect new workouts, Health measurements, and more.
tvOS 16
Last year, Apple totally forgot about tvOS during the keynote. This time, we
hope tvOS 16 has a few minutes onstage. According to Gurman, tvOS 16 will
get more smart-home tie-ins, which is pretty much what we expect from this
operating system.
In addition, Apple could announce support for more languages on the HomePod,
as it did during last years WWDC.
The Apple TV and HomePod mini are the hubs of Apple users smart houses, so
the company needs to focus on bringing even more smart-home solutions to
these devices.
2022 MacBook Air could be on its way
Apart from all the operating systems being previewed, Apple could also
launch the 2022 MacBook Air during WWDC 2022. According to the latest
edition of the Power On newsletter, Gurman says if theres any hardware at
WWDC, it will likely be on the Mac side. The company has been aiming to
launch the next MacBook Air with M2 chips at the conference.
If thats the case, expect a redesigned MacBook Air with the next-generation
M chips.
RealityOS and WWDC 2022 wrap-up
As of now, its unclear whether Apple will tease the upcoming RealityOS on
WWDC 2022 or not. One thing is for sure, all the other operating systems
will likely hint at a bunch of new features coming to Apples rumored Mixed
Reality headset, set to be unveiled later this year.
Even if Apple doesnt introduce RealityOS, this WWDC 2022 will surely have a
lot of new features coming to all Apple devices later this fall.
