hi everyone Aaron here for zollotech and ios 16 is just seven weeks and three days away at
the time of filming this video that means apple will be showing it off at wwdc 2022 on june 6th
2022 usually around 1 pm eastern time we'll see the next version of ios along
with ipad os and more and then we'll get a release to the developers with beta 1
usually an hour or so after that event many of us are expecting a bunch of things with this
update however recent news has been a bit disappointing so far it seems notifications
are getting an update and then maybe we'll get some updates to focus modes and health
this doesn't seem to be enough and i doubt that that's all that's coming to ios 16 so here are
some predictions about what i think could be in the next version the first thing is the design
it's been since 2013 since we had a redesign and i don't think there will be a full redesign
this year however i do think we will have some app icon redesigns possibly to match mac os like apple
did with iwork updates this past week so with iwork they changed the icons for all of the apps
so specifically on keynote numbers and pages and keynote got the largest update where it looks just
like it does on mac os this would make sense bringing consistency across all the platforms
and so maybe we could see that with icons such as music maybe getting a slight change we've
seen some of that in the code maybe with some classical music apps as well along with updates
to the app store all of the different app icons that haven't been changed in many many years so
that seems to make a lot of sense but i don't expect a full redesign but i do expect at least
some changes to that also i do think we'll get a redesign or maybe additional features
to the control center control center hasn't really changed for many many years i actually preferred
when it pulled up from the bottom but this is very functional but not very well organized so seeing
some organization to this that makes a little bit more sense and maybe collapsible areas or things
like that with additional features that you can add within the settings under your control center
that seems to be something that apple would be updating this year so i do think we'll see that
one thing i know a lot of people have wanted for a long time that i'm going to predict we'll see
with ios 16 is some form of split view or better multitasking on the ipad we've had split view for
a long time and that allows you to use two apps at once so whether i want to use maybe music and then
bring in another app that could be any other one of these apps but maybe i want to bring in let's
see we'll bring in the app store here we'll just bring it off to the side use two apps at once
along with not only this but picture-in-picture seeing some changes to that makes a lot of sense
on ios since that's one thing it's been majorly lacking for a long time on the ipad it works
great there's no reason they shouldn't bring it to the iphone and i think ios 16 should
bring this i also think we'll see some updates to imessage imessage has been getting a lot of
criticism since it's not really cross-platform so maybe we'll see some enhancements but not that far
but maybe an enhancement to include secure delete functions like you get on telegram and signal so
if you're using telegram you can just delete the conversation on not only my side but their site
as well it fully deletes anything you want that's something i do think apple will be working on for
privacy reasons for the future so to see that in ios 16 that will be one of my predictions
also we should see some new wallpaper but not just new wallpaper a new wallpaper picker
we saw this quite some time ago maybe a few years ago where we thought apple would fully
redesign it it makes a lot of sense that we would see some better organized wallpaper
with a different wallpaper picker and one that maybe better organizes between the different
ios versions as well so not only can we expect new wallpaper like we get every year with a new
version of ios but i think we'll see more and better wallpaper maybe similar to what we saw
with maybe iphone photos with macro photography there were some contests with that and it would
make a lot of sense to see that some of them look really really good and to have those as wallpaper
featured on ios 16 would be great not only for us but also for those that took those photos
and to encourage more to take photos also i do think based off some of the code we're going to
see some enhancements when it comes to managing storage if you go into your storage under general
and then we go to iphone storage right now it's very hard to manage any additional cache
or storage that's under other so we'll wait for it to load here this does take a moment
the first time it loads in a while if we go down to the bottom you'll see it says calculating
and other system data can sometimes take up 50 gigabytes of storage and you don't know what it is
in the recent code of ios 15.5 it does look like there might be something to do with this maybe
being able to better manage this although it's hard to say exactly what it's related to you'll
see as it continues to to scan for system data it would make a lot of sense to have better control
over this instead of needing a third-party app to actually clear this data i do think we'll
see something with ios 16 to better manage this or maybe just a rearrangement of what's
in it that would make a lot of sense and i think we'll see it my next prediction is for an update
to notifications now i know this is one that we heard from mark german but it makes a lot of sense
since it seems to be broken in many cases when it comes to responding to notifications directly
the organization of them could be a little bit better or maybe grouping of them and then also
maybe haptic pressing for additional functionality these things could be updated or just
updated to work a little bit better than they do now so i think we'll see some of that even though
it's a prediction from some very reliable sources also i think apple will update accessibility again
every year they update accessibility and i think a lot of people have been grateful for voice over
but it needs some enhancements and some updates so accessibility features with voice over maybe some
additional things i haven't thought of but updates to this where it's even better at recognizing
what's on the display and better at playing back and less buggy as well one prediction also i'm
going to make is that we're going to get some form of an always on display at least with iphone 14.
now apple could easily bring that to any oled display but they would have to rewrite the code
to understand some of that information and make it project on the lock screen that's something
i think we'll see an enhanced lock screen with an always on display like we get on android and
things along those lines where it makes a lot of sense where they can just light up individual
pixels so that's something they could do that does not cause burn-in as apple could move them around
to prevent that and it's a very useful feature that takes up a very minimal battery also i think
we'll see a big push for stability this year if we don't get a lot of different things as far as
features apple will have to justify it somehow in saying that they've made it a focus on stability
and battery life or maybe privacy and more so i do think we'll see some stability enhancements
and apple's been pushing that more and more as their software over the years has become
less reliable and i think it's starting to become more reliable also i think we'll see some apps
updated whether or not they update everything or just a few that really need it such as music
music has been a mess for years and many people really don't like the way it functions overall it
really could use some sort of redesign to make it a little easier and i really think we're going to
see that not just music but maybe some other apps such as health since that's supposed to be a focus
and additional features to reminders and notes and more so that makes a lot of sense to me i think
we'll see all of that and the good thing this year is leakers have been wrong more and more lately
and it's a chance we could see a huge change and apple has just hidden it very well i definitely
would welcome a full redesign it's been many years it seems a little bit stale at this point
while it is very functional and it works well a redesign and some surprises or enhancements would
be something i welcome i know not everyone wants a redesign but that's something that i really like
that keeps things fresh over time but i doubt we'll see that at least this year also with the
ipad i expect some enhancements to split view or multitasking as that's been a big criticism
and it seems like mark german is also predicting that but i expected apple to change this again
a lot of people don't like the three little dots at the top that you can move things around while
i thought that was a good move some things are a bit confusing where you can open multiple windows
and have different scenarios so some clarification there makes a lot of sense with ipad os i don't
think you're going to see some major changes this year i could be wrong if they do make some major
changes with iphone os or ios i think you'll see it with ipad os but otherwise i don't expect any
major changes i just expect stability enhancements and things like that i don't expect some huge
changes but hopefully i'm wrong in all of that so those are my almost 10 predictions about what
to expect with ios 16. we'll come back to this a little bit later and see if it was actually right
or not hopefully i'm right about most of them if not all of them as i would like to see every one
of those things changed let me know what your predictions are in the comments below i'd love
to hear from you maybe your top five predictions about what ios 16 will have in it and of course
