According to the official information, Apple will hold the annual Global Developer Conference (WWDC) online from June 6 to 10 (June 7 to 11, Beijing time).
At the event, Apple will showcase cutting-edge innovations in iOS, iPadOS, macOS, watchOS and tvOS. One of the most concerned is the new iOS 16.
Now the latest news also mentions the new support that iOS 16 may bring.
It is reported that the new iOS 16 code name is Sydney, which will bring new upgrades in many aspects. Specific enhancements will cover the overall functionality of the system and speed up operation.
That is to say, after this system upgrade, iOS will have a smooth operation effect and more comprehensive functional support, which does not seem to be intuitively seen.
At the same time, another revelation also mentioned the statement that it was roughly close.
Sources mentioned that iOS 16 will make significant improvements to notifications and new health tracking features, but will not make major design changes.
However, given that the new iOS16 has been upgraded in terms of operating speed, the system's compatible devices also need stronger hardware support. Therefore, the coverage models of this iOS system update also seem to be fewer than last year's list.
A previous source broke the news that Apple plans to cancel support for the iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus and the original iPhone SE. If the claims mentioned in this revelation are true, then this means that iOS 16 will need an A10 chip as the minimum specification to get the latest features.
Of course, given that no more accurate official information has emerged for the time being, the actual equipment compatibility situation has yet to be confirmed.
In addition to the software system-level updates, Apple recently exposed a dual-port 35W USB-C charger. Now, the latest news has revealed a picture of what is said to be this power adapter.
Combined with the picture, the charger will feature a compact design with side-by-side USB-C ports, foldable pins, and a round notch for easy grip.
Based on the information displayed in the relevant documents, the accessory supports USB-C power supply technology. 100–240V/1.0A input, 5VDC/3A or 9VDC/3A or 15VDC/2.33A or 20VDC/1.75A output.
The document was removed shortly after its release, but combined with the information exposed, this new dual USB-C charger is enough to charge multiple iPhones or one iPhone in combination with an Apple Watch or a handful of other accessories.
It's unclear when Apple plans to release the accessory, so it's also possible that the product won't come in the end. However, as far as the information recently exposed, the possibility of the arrival of this new product is not low.
In addition, Apple's iteration of the iPhone series has also attracted much attention. According to the information mentioned in the recent revelations, this year's iPhone series will use a punch combination scheme to place the lens and Face ID components.
However, this is obviously a transitional solution, and many speculations believe that Apple may launch a complete screen solution that applies off-screen Face ID and off-screen front camera.
Now the latest news mentions the possible application of this scenario again.
Apple's recent grant of a new patent shows that it can implement a TrueDepth camera system that is completely hidden under the screen. In other words, the highly anticipated off-screen Face ID scheme is expected to be implemented.
However, given that the patent was only recently officially published, its practical application may have to wait for some time. Therefore, it is speculated that this year's new iPhone series will not be equipped with this technology, and the follow-up product updates are also worth looking forward to.
