On April 6, the first day of work after the Qingming Festival, Apple pushed the iOS15.5 developer preview beta to global fruit powder users, only one week after the previous push of the official version of iOS 15.1, which claimed to optimize the battery life of the iPhone.
In the iOS 15.5 Beta system update, Apple added the "Apple Classical" music application code that is under development, hinting that it will be launched soon; apple Pay Clash has added "Request" and "Send" buttons to further optimize the user experience; and finally solved the "Universal Control" feature that is incompatible with MacOS 12.3 and iOS 15.4.
As the iOS15 system version number continues to evolve, iOS 15.5 will basically be its last major version update, and then we will usher in the new iOS16 system. A few days ago, Apple has officially announced that it will officially hold the WWDC 2022 Conference on June 6, Beijing time, when it will launch a large wave of software system upgrades such as iOS16, iPadOS16, MacOS13, and WatchOS9.
What are the surprises of the new iOS16 system?
First of all, the system interface and icons of iOS16 are bound to change. It will be adapted and optimized for the iPhone 14 Pro series, which for the first time switched to an "exclamation point" digging screen, in preparation for the official release of the new machine in the second half of the year. The iPhone14 Pro series has basically officially abolished the bangs screen design completely, using the "pill + round hole" horizontal column combination of the cut-out screen shape.
Secondly, the online exposure iOS16 system will bring the long-awaited "application split screen" and "information screen display" functions. To be honest, the Andriod camp supported multiple applications to start at the same time and split screen display for many years, which will greatly improve operational efficiency and make it more user-friendly. But the iPhone still does not support similar functions, which may be achieved in this year's iOS16 system.
Finally, there are reports that Apple will launch its first AR glasses in the second half of this year, which is said to be Apple Galsses. If the message is true, then the iOS16 system is bound to be specially adjusted and adapted for AR devices.
It is worth mentioning that the iPhone6s, iPhone6s Plus and the first-generation iPhone SE will not be able to upgrade to the iOS16 system, and they have been listed as "obsolete devices" by Apple.
Not only iOS16, iPadOS16 is also a big attraction
Apple has the world's most powerful mobile chips, including the A-series processor on the iPhone and the M-series processor on tablets and computers. Prior to this, Apple launched the iPad Pro and iPad Air equipped with M1 chips, their powerful performance is completely comparable to PCs, supporting 4K and 8K video editing, but unfortunately, the iPadOS system has not been able to fully exert their performance power.
That's why everyone expects Apple to launch a new iPadOS this year. Foreign media broke the news that Apple is developing a smart system for iPadOS. Applications will remain in full-screen boot mode, but will shrink when the iPad is connected to an external keyboard and trackpad, similar to the "app window" on a PC, making it easier for users to zoom, move, close, and multitask.
Foreign media also praised that Apple internally called it the Apple Mixer, but was not sure whether it would be included in the iPadOS 16 system, and most likely the M1 iPad was exclusive.
If iPadOS16 performs well, then Apple will undoubtedly be invincible in the field of tablets, and even affect the PC industry, because it is estimated that more and more users will choose to replace the PC with tablets, go out is the iPad, and connect the external keyboard to use as a PC at home.
The WWDC in the first half of each year is a "feast" belonging to Apple's system ecology, and the second half of the year is the replacement of hardware products such as iPhone, iPad, and Mac, which is the focus of attention for the majority of fruit powder users, and it is also a great satisfaction.
