iOS 16, Apple
What’s happening?
Apple is expected to announce new software for its iPhones,
iPads and Mac computers at its annual WWDC developers event starting Monday.
Why it matters
The new software offers a chance for Apple to upgrade its devices without relying on manufacturing,
which has been hit hard by the pandemic.
What it means for you
Software updates can extend the life of a device, giving people flexibility during economic uncertainty.
The most important part of Apple’s upcoming announcements on Monday may already be in your pocket.
At the company’s annual Worldwide Developers Conference, or WWDC as it’s called, Apple is expected to announce an array of software upgrades for its iPhones,
iPads and Mac computers, in addition to, potentially, a new performance-focused Mac Pro computer and fresh TV-related features.
For iPhones, the new software is expected to include small “widget” apps on the lock screen, according to reports from Bloomberg and others. Apple is also expected to add features to improve multitasking and running apps side by side, particularly on the iPad. Those changes for Apple’s tablet would be welcomed by CNET reviewer Scott Stein, who’s criticized the device for its lack of PC-like features.
