Hi, everyone.
Aaron here for Zollotech and WWDC 2021 or the worldwide
developer conference is right around the corner.
We've been waiting for it for a long time where we should see things like iOS 15
and much more. So I wanted to talk about everything to expect.
And the first thing is when and where to watch. If you go to apple.com,
it's on the main page. Now it says WWDC 21,
watch Monday at 10:00 AM. Pacific time. That's Monday,
June 7th or 1:00 PM Eastern time. This will vary of course,
depending on where you live, but you can watch it on apple.com.
You can learn more about it, of course.
And you can also watch it on YouTube as well.
So if you don't have access to apple.com or can't get to that,
you can go to YouTube and watch it live stream there as well as Facebook and
Twitter, and more as you can see here.
So if you want to look at that and add it to your calendar,
you can do that now as far as what to expect. Well,
there's a few things to expect. The first thing is iOS 15,
every single year, apple updates iOS, and they show it at WWDC.
And then they released the beta right after the event. You usually,
the public beta normally comes out a few weeks later,
depending on which beta is a little bit more stable sometimes with beta two,
sometimes with beta three. So it could be a few weeks to a month later,
depending on its stability. Overall, if it's like iOS 12 was,
it could be very soon afterward. If it's like any of the others,
it could be later on. There will be a final release.
Usually with the iPhone 13 in September, somewhat,
sometime in late September is when to expect it. Now, as far as what to expect.
Well, apple gave us a little bit of a hint with a recent hashtag on Twitter.
So if you tap hashtag or pound WWDC,
21 on Twitter, you'll see a little thumbs up. Just like I message. Now,
this has been rumored for a little while that we'll get an update with iMessage
and so this just sort of points to that,
that we will see some updates with iMessage itself,
what that is many people have said for years that maybe we could retract
messages undo after we've sent them, maybe even have it on Android.
I highly doubt that, but at this point,
some people have said that it will be a new social network with iMessage or
more. So all we know is that there will be updates to iMessage.
They're giving hints to that.
We don't really know exactly what it will be though.
Additional updates that people are saying will be coming to iOS 15,
have to do with things like health.
Some are saying that we'll be able to track our data within health as far as
what we eat. So we could track maybe our food intake. For example,
that's possibly to go along with some new features of watchOS 8 as well.
And then also additional updates are said to be coming to things like safari.
Now this could be privacy specifically, or maybe some new features as well,
whether it means different things with tabs or maybe better translations,
but we should see some updates there like we do every year.
Also they're said to be a big push with maps, so maps should get an update.
Some of this goes along with what's to expected later on with apple glass,
for example,
but we could see some additional changes and features and a really big push with
maps getting better and better.
Now I've talked about some other updates in previous videos,
I've shown some different designs from people like Angela Barrow, for example,
and I'll link his profile below. But as you can see,
maybe new multitasking or maybe multitasking like this,
where you could close all of your apps at once and then have split screen.
So all of these things are rumored.
There's no guarantee of any of them showing up,
but at this point it looks like maybe we could have a new lock screen,
something like this,
or maybe an always on display on maybe the upcoming iPhone
13 or even our current iPhones it's possible.
And maybe new contacts I've shown all of these before.
But something that keeps getting mentioned over and over is maybe a new control
center to make it more consistent with what we have on Mac OS. Currently,
this is the control center.
Maybe it will look a little bit more like MacOS be broken up into different
boxes. We don't know this for sure.
And then also maybe some new controls in the control center like this
and settings is said to get an updated well,
so there's a lot of things that people have said are coming,
but no one has really said a whole lot about it.
The people that are credible sources such as mark Gurman, for example,
isn't it set a whole lot about it. However,
we do know that there will be some accessibility updates as apple actually
pointed to this earlier on.
And this is quite different for apple in that they're announcing things ahead of
WWDC, which means there's a lot that's probably going to be shown.
So if you go to Apple's newsroom website in safari at their newsroom
website, again, you can see WWDC three hours or three days,
zero hours and 49 minutes. At least at the time of making this video.
And if I scroll down, you can see apple previews,
powerful software updates designed for people with disabilities,
apple doesn't generally pre-announce features that are coming later on.
So these will be coming later on everything from assistive touch on your apple
watch and more.
So this is something that we're going to see probably an iOS 15 it's possible.
They could put it in earlier versions of iOS 14 up until September,
but we're going to see more of this and Apple's pre announcing this.
This makes me think that we're going to see some huge changes at WWDC or it's a
really packed event because they're pre announcing other things,
which is very unlike them when it comes to that. So again,
all of these different features now, as far as iPad S 15,
there's been some huge rumors about that as well. And on iPad iOS 15,
we'll see some big changes.
I would expect some changes to take advantage of this new M1 iPad pro and on the
iPad pro you can see that we have basically what we've had for years at this
point,
it giant version of the iPhone or iPod touch with some widgets we can pull in on
the left. So it's nice that we have that ability,
but we can't really move things around. And again,
we could see some updates like this again from libero,
and maybe we'll be able to move widgets everywhere.
That's the only information most people have heard is that we'll be able to put
widgets wherever we want. Maybe have a redesigned OS,
maybe have some updated icons as well,
such as final cut pro and maybe pro apps. Finally,
maybe a companion app to final cut pro as we have companion apps to logic pro
for example,
but we could really use some pro apps to take advantage of the iPad pro it seems
like we've got a ton of power that we just can't do a whole lot with,
and it's a nice device,
but it doesn't make sense right now that we really have no big difference or
huge advantage over the previous iPad pro other than its display.
So other than that, we've got a ton of power,
a ton of RAM that's really underutilized.
I expect some big changes with iPadOS 15. Now,
as far as watchOS 8, we haven't heard much about that.
Except for those accessibility features,
watchOS 8is said to maybe have a slight redesign where we'll have those
accessibility features, where you can move your wrist around to select things.
If you can't touch it with another hand, for example,
you could use it with one hand open and close your hand to select things.
It's quite a great video. If you want to watch it on that apple newsroom.
And it talks about how you can do that. And if you look here, you'll see,
scroll up to where the apple watches watch this video,
and it shows you what's coming to watch us.
So I would imagine this will be coming with watchOS 8 and then other features as
well. We could have redesigned some new watch apps,
maybe some custom watch faces finally as well.
So there's been no specific information and it's really been
very quiet this year. As far as that goes, also, we can expect tvOS 15,
nothing huge with that,
but maybe a slight redesign to the interface to match whatever they're doing
with iOS 15.
And then another thing we haven't heard much about is on the Mac Mac iOS 12
and apple registered new names for macOS.
They're generally named after locations in California, prior to that,
they were named after cats.
They ran out of cat names and then they started naming them after places in
California, such as big surf, for example, or el Capitan.
Now it said that it could be based off of recent trademark registrations,
that it could be Monterey or mammoth,
or maybe both or something a little bit different. So it could bemacOS
Monterey 12, or Mac iOS, 12 Monterey,
or maybe they just registered those for future use.
But it seems like that could be one of the names for that.
And to go along with that,
probably the most exciting news to me as far as hardware is concerned is new M1
based Macs. Apple has been talking about new max for well,
a year since last WWDC,
they started talking about their new apple Silicon with the M one chip.
We have that in this 13 inch MacBook pro MacBook air,
the iMac now, even the iPad and Mac mini. However,
we haven't seen the real pro chip sets.
And quite a few people are now saying that we'll see a 14 inch and a 16 inch,
or at least one of them announced at WWDC.
So what that means and what sort of specs it has is still yet to be seen,
but hopefully it will have something with a little bit more video power up to 10
core CPU, for example, as well as the ability to add more Ram,
more than 16 gigs up to 64, many people are saying,
so we should see something like that in the Mac book pro will have more ports.
It should have HDMI Thunderbolt, as well as an SD card slot.
If the rumors are true and the different sort of things that have leaked,
that makes a lot of sense.
We only have a couple of ports now on the current Mac book pro it's fine,
but an SD card slot coming back would be very welcome along with maybe some
changes in the deletion of the touch bar.
So those things are expected at the upcoming WWDC,
but according to some other people, there could be some huge changes as well.
And maybe that's why we haven't heard a whole lot maybe to apple glass or a
whole new S to support vision.
And some people such as Robert Scoble have said that we're going to see a huge
change over this next year. Starting at WWDC with augmented reality,
apple has made a big push.
Tim cook has talked about this and maybe make a huge push with augmented
reality,
where they're going to have incredible features to allow us to interact with our
environment, using the camera or maybe glasses that can sense what's around us.
So it said to be not only apple glass, but also a VR system,
or sort of a headset, that's maybe like an Oculus, for example,
and a new OS for both of those things,
that could be a huge one more thing at WWDC.
And that would be incredible if they show that.
So that's what I'm looking most forward to iOS 15 should be a small iteration
unless they have a huge surprise for us.
I personally would like to see a redesign. The icons are getting a bit old,
in my opinion, they've been flat for a long time.
Maybe add a little bit of depth, like macOS Big Sur for example,
or maybe something new. I would love to see a big change. Now,
as far as supported devices are concerned with the upcoming iOS versions, well,
it looks like based off things even released today that iPhone 6S
plus, 6S and SE will no longer be supported. Now,
this is not guaranteed until after WWDC, but it looks like the success.
Plus maybe finally no longer getting updates. It's been a very long time.
They've kept in the loop for a long time, as far as updates.
And it looks like it may no longer get that.
So the success plus could be going away,
but you never know apple could update it.
We just don't know until after the event,
despite all the different videos and people talking about it, including myself,
we don't know a hundred percent until after the event,
if they're actually going to update this or not. So hopefully they do.
And watch O S of course,
people have asked me also will watch over us eight becoming to the series three
while apple still sells the series three.
So I would hope they would keep it updated all the way up from the series three
to the series six. We won't necessarily see new features on it, maybe,
but there'll be pushing background security updates,
but seeing how they still sell it,
it would be very surprising if they did not update it.
So I would expect all of those things and a few surprises,
hopefully with apple glass or some look into the future with augmented reality
or virtual reality, I can't wait to see what apple has. And of course,
I'll do a follow-up on everything on all of the new features in iOS 15 and iPad
iOS 15 in anything new that we see as well.
We could see some updates for home pod iOS, for example, and the apple TV,
and maybe something completely unexpected. I would love to see a new iMac.
We haven't seen the full regular or pro sized iMac.
So I'm waiting for that as well.
Apple said they would be updating all of their hardware to apple Silicon within
two years. It's been one year.
Now we have another year to see all the new hardware.
So we do have some time to see the new Mac pro for example,
that could come later next year as well.
So I'm looking forward to all of those things, of course.
And let me know what you're looking most forward to with iOS 15 or the hardware
as well. If you'd like to get your hands on this wallpaper,
of course I'll link it in the description like I normally do.
