Its that time of the year when Apple holds the WWDC.
Due to pandemic, things went from Live stage conference to Live Event held online.
But since its Apple, everything is bound to amaze you.
Apple presented a pre-recorded event, but the transitions were stupendous.
Heres what you oughta know about WWDC 2020!
To keep the home screens tidier, iOS 14 comes with App Library.
Itll automatically group your apps into categories.
Youll now be able to change the default Email and web app apps on iOS 14.
Siri is also receiving some tweaks too.
It wont take the entire screen from now onwards.
Youll see a small animation on the bottom of the screen, and responses appear in little notifications too.
Caller ID wont take much screen as well.
Instead, itll look like a notification just like Android.
2. iPadOS 14
iPadOS 14 isnt much different from iOS 14, either.
For iPadOS, Apple announced the new side-bar for apps thatll make some tasks on the apps more accessible.
Apple seems to finally take advantage of the big screen on the iPadOS 14.
Another major announcement in WWDC 2020 to iPadOS 14 was Scribble.
Its an additional function for Apple Pencil, that converts any handwriting you write to text.
It is possible on any text field, so it doesnt depend on any native app.
The best part is that it can also recognize different languages too.
Airpods and Spatial Audio
Airpods will now be able to switch between Apple devices seamlessly.
Airpods Pro, on the other hand, receives the Spatial Audio feature.
It will create a surround sound effect like you usually find in theatres using different algorithms.
The accelerometer in the Airpods will track your head to change the Spatial Audio accordingly.
4. watchOS 7
We saw some minor changes to the watchOS 7 on WWDC 2020.
With watchOS 7, youll be able to customize watch faces finally and can even share with the world.
The customization is limited, although, yet useful.
Itll suggest you get some good sleep, sleeping habits, and much more.
Since Mac OS X, this is one of the most significant updates to macOS.
From v10 to v11, the latest macOS addition will be called macOS Big Sur.
macOS gets a fresh overhaul with a new design language.
The Start Page is new and customizable, Finder and Dock get a redesign.
The menus and sheets are translucent now.
Furthermore, were likely seeing that native apps got a significant design overhaul.
Apart from that, Safari gets a massive update in ts time being.
Apple promises its a much faster and privacy-focused web app.
In addition to those, Apple brought translation to Safari in this update.
Extensions from other browsers will also get supported by Safari using the Web API.
ARM-Based Apple Silicon Chips For Mac
The most significant announcements of the WWDC 2020 was Apple ditching Intel chipsets.
From now onwards, theyll get replaced by Apples A-series chipsets based on ARM Architecture.
Itll power both Macs and Macbooks starting the next line of Macs.
Apple always wants to create more power-efficient and powerful chipsets.
As a result of this, Macbooks will have better battery life.
Additionally, apps from both iOS and iPadOS will be able to run natively on A-series chipset powered Macs.
Furthermore, Apple will keep supporting the Intel-based Macs in the long run.
