Since the launch of iOS 15.4 mask unlocking, a small half month has passed without accident.
I don't know how everyone's evaluation after the experience, in short, the machine brother is a word: very cool!
In addition to this, Gollum's half-year general control has also come, and the iPad productivity has finally increased by 1 point.
At this point, Apple's various functions and flags announced at the WWDC in 2021 have been completed.
The next focus is to release a new version of the ship's iOS system. No, WWDC 2022, is officially announced today.
The time is June 7-11, and online participation is still available.
According to the rules of previous years, Apple will launch a new system for all its products at WWDC, of which the popularity of iOS and iPadOS is undoubtedly the highest.
iOS 16
Since iOS 14 Apple began to play desktop widgets, we can put a lot of App components on the desktop, even if you do not open the App, you can intuitively preview some information, really not too convenient.
But grin, these components are essentially shortcuts, click directly to the App, widgets can not be any interactive operation.
In a word: you can only see, you can't touch.
You can imagine how anti-human it is. However, it is about to change, and in January this year, it was revealed that Apple will bring interactive desktop widgets in iOS 16.
LeaksApplePro: Get ready for interactive widgets! Apple is developing these "big components" called InfoShack in-house.
Apple internally calls this feature InfoShack, which literally translates to "information component."
According to this only interface diagram, we can see that within this component, there are many apps integrated.
We can see that, like a timer or something, Apple has made a new interactive design, and at a glance, we know that it is the kind that can be pressed.
If you look closely, you can also find many functions that originally belonged to the control center.
It is not difficult to imagine that Apple is putting various functions directly on the desktop as much as possible to reduce cumbersome operation steps.
If the third-party app also follows up, it may really be possible to punch in and check in with one click on the desktop.
But, it's all "superficial"...
In this picture, the machine brother also saw the difference in the UI - the design of this FaceTime is obviously a skeuomorphic style on macOS.
After 9 years, the skeuomorphism of iOS is finally coming back.
Grandpa Knot!
In addition, there are also revelations that Apple will bring the excellently evaluated quick memos on iPadOS and macOS to iOS.
After all, compared to computer tablets, mobile phones are actually the devices that accompany us the most time. Pulling out your phone and opening a quick memo to take a quick note is presumably the most routine operation.
Then, some apps on iOS 16 will be redoed. After all, some apps don't fit the current iPhone anymore, like the camera:
If you have used the Pro series and the digital series, you will find that their switching logic is completely different, which is already two versions of the camera.
If it is a single-camera model, it is even more different.
Specifically designed interfaces for these iPhones, it is better to start all over again.
Like last year, Apple made a major overhaul of Safari, and this year it is to start with other old apps.
And these updates will be synced to iPadOS, after all, they both have you and I have you.
iPadOS 16
Compared to iOS, there will be more features on iPadOS. Nowadays, even the iPad Air is already equipped with M1, and without any differentiation, the iPad is always just a large iPhone.
Therefore, this year's iPadOS will move further towards the desktop system.
Some time ago, it was revealed that Apple was developing a new operating interface for iPadOS.
Majin Bu: Apple is developing a new smart system for iPadOS. The app still opens full screen, but when the keyboard and trackpad are connected, it automatically shrinks. Called internally: Apple Mixer.
When the iPad is connected to the keyboard and trackpad, the original full-screen app will automatically shrink and appear in the form of a separate card, like a multi-window on the desktop.
In this way, we are no longer limited to two App split screens, but also always have to switch back and forth tedious steps.
However, developers are not sure whether this feature will appear on iOS 16, but if you step on the time point, it does not seem to be a problem to launch in June this year.
But then again, this new set of operation interfaces is actually more suitable for use on the 12.9-inch iPad Pro, after all, the desktop use space is larger.
The 11-inch iPad may be OK, but the 8.3-inch iPad mini is still don't think about it, let's still do the game console, no matter what productivity it is, right?
If you want to say that the real productivity at present, it must also be the computer.
And this year's Apple computer series, there will also be new members to join ~ ~
New hardware
Some time ago, a developer said that Apple was recently testing the macOS system, but the processor of the test machine is obviously not its own M1.
Because the M1 chip specifications are 8-core CPU and 8-core GPU.
In the test information, 8-core CPU and 10-core GPU are displayed.
Therefore, this coincides with the previous various M2 revelations. The M2 processor launched this year, which can be said to be a nail in the coffin.
So it's a matter of time: whether Apple will launch the M2 processor at WWDC, or whether it will be left until the fall conference in September this year.
Although in previous years, WWDC rarely issued hardware, in 2019, Apple released its top-of-the-line grafter Mac Pro.
As the canonical sequel to the Mac Pro, it makes sense to continue to be released at WWDC.
Presumably, Apple will not let two heavyweighters appear at the same moment, and M2 is still likely to meet with us in September.
When the time comes, we just need to watch Apple continue to consume "seconds" of friends and hold our jaws well.
Oh yes, and finally the machine brother has a bad news:
The iPhone 6S, the 10,000-year-old nail household, is finally going to be eliminated. The lowest compatible model for this year's iOS 16 is the iPhone 7 series.
However, 6S users do not be sad, this time there are many models eliminated, as well as iPad mini 4, iPad Air2 and other 5 iPads, a total of 8 will disappear from the compatibility table.
According to the most convincing explanation of Ah Guo's elimination of the old model, it is that the chip performance is not enough to perfect the drive system, and it is better to directly eliminate it than to "survive".
But a friend's 6S, after upgrading iOS 15, the experience is very good, I feel that it can be kept for another 3 years, and I have not experienced a very crotch-pulling feeling.
Hard to do... Did Apple deliberately attack the nail household this time?
