Apple WWDC 2021 Preview: iPhone, iPad, Mac & Watch Announcements To Expect
Summary
As a computer and mobile device manufacturer and developer of several operating systems, Apple needs to update programmers on upcoming changes to the platform, so apps can be enhanced to take advantage of new features and adjusted to meet new requirements. WWDC21 starts on June 7, 2021, at 10:00 a.m. PDT with the keynote address that will cover information that will be of most interest to the general public, followed by an in-depth discussion of application programming interfaces (API) and details that appeal only to coders. The biggest changes coming might be advances in iPadOS, as the M1 iPad Pro has now reached performance levels equal to Mac computers. However, with the tighter integration with the mobile device experience, Continuity features may be added and improved and anything new released for iPadOS could appear on macOS as well in a form better suited for bigger screens. Likewise, iOS and watchOS have had major changes in the last few years and this iteration will probably be one of optimization and improvement of existing features, such as better widgets and even more interwoven usage between devices.
