yesterday Apple held their Worldwide
Developers Conference where they
announced a ton of new features coming
to all of your various devices soon it
also happened to be my birthday how did
I spend that birthday you asked making
this video when you're done watching
this video I hope you'll take a quick
moment to let me know which of these
features is your favorite down below in
the comment section WWDC highlights
coming up next on Tech Talk America hey
folks we have a lot to cover today but
before we dive into everything I do have
a very brief announcement there are some
very big changes coming to my channel in
the near future and I want to tell you
about one of those changes right now I
have recently been given access to this
amazing new technology which is going to
allow me to start to add a brand new
type of video to my channel so starting
soon in addition to my tutorial videos
I'm also going to be launching a live
call-in style talk show I'm gonna have
guests on that show and any of you at
home are gonna be able to call in and
join the conversation
to find out when the show goes live just
send a text message to this number nine
zero nine two four seven 1704 once again
that's nine zero nine two four seven
1704 when you send a text message to
that number you're gonna get an
automatic text message back when the
show goes live we're gonna discuss this
a lot more in a future video but for now
let's talk about WWDC of all of the
announcements that came out today one of
my favorites has got to be that Apple is
developing their own app called
Translate which will come out later on
this fall as part of iOS 14 this new
feature will allow you to instantly
translate conversations into any of
these languages and best of all the
translation process takes place on your
device not the internet so you don't
have to be connected to the Internet to
use it you can even hold your phone in
landscape mode to reveal conversation
view where it will translate to
different languages side by side how
cool is that for those of you out there
who are cycling enthusiasts you'll be
happy to learn that the Maps app on all
of your different devices will soon be
able to offer cycling direction
and that will also include a visual
representation of elevation changes you
can prioritize routes that have bike
lanes avoid routes that have high
traffic and will even let you know
whether or not there are stairs where
you may need to carry your bike you can
also choose to avoid stairs altogether
and that of course is a major feature
for the disabled community this feature
will initially only be available in a
handful of cities but more will follow
in the future switching over to the Mac
Apple announced today that the next
operating system will be Mac OS Big Sur
which hopefully I'll be better than
Catalina the majority of changes in Big
Sur are mostly stylistic including new
app icons menus and simplified toolbars
arguably the biggest feature to come to
the Mac is that you will finally be able
to run iOS apps on the Mac also Control
Center is now available on the Mac and
you can even drag and drop elements from
the control center right into the
navigation bar Safari got a ton of new
security features which just might
persuade me to switch over from Chrome
maybe when it comes to the iPhone and
iPad the biggest news is all about
widgets soon you'll be able to integrate
widgets into the home screen and each
widget is available in different sizes
that way you can customize how much
information is visible another new
feature is the app library which I'm
sure I will probably come to refer to as
the land of forgotten apps you'll find
the app library on the last page of your
home screen and that will automatically
grouped all of your apps together by
category tapping into the search bar
from the app library will display a list
of all of your apps in alphabetical
order Siri is about to get simplified
and will no longer take up the entire
home screen whenever you summon him /her
/ yeah scribble is a new feature
available on the iPad where you can now
use the Apple pencil to instantly go
from handwritten text to typed text this
app works in any app and even allows you
to switch between languages another
feature that will really appeal to those
of you who we use apps like notes
Microsoft OneNote or Evernote is on iOS
14 you'll be able to select a group of
handwritten text and then copy and paste
it into another document as typed text
and I have to say if you're a student
that feature is really going to come in
handy
now don't get me
I love my air pods but it can be a pain
to have to constantly switch the
connection from device to device but not
for long thanks to a new update your air
pods will soon be able to intelligently
switch between your different devices so
for example if you're on your iPhone on
a call and then you end that call and
pick up your iPad the connection will
automatically switch on its own spatial
audio is another feature coming to air
pods Pro and thanks to directional audio
filters listening to movies and live
concerts will feel like a brand new
surround sound experience on watch oh s
you will soon be able to share watch
faces with others the activities app is
being renamed Fitness and there are
other types of workouts being added
including dance and in a related story
Apple considers this to be dance don't
worry dude I be just as bad another new
feature on watch OS and truly a sign of
the times your Apple watch will now be
able to detect when you're washing your
hands and if you end early you'll
receive a polite notification to keep on
going you know cuz we all know where
your hands have been in iOS 14 home kit
has a new feature which works with smart
lights called adaptive lighting which
will enable it to automatically adjust
the hue of your lights over the course
of the day if you own a home kit enabled
camera or video doorbell face ID will
soon be able to tell you who's knocking
at the door when it delivers a
notification please note that feature
only works with people who you have
tagged through the Photos app if you
have Apple TV a live notification will
appear on your screen showing you who is
at the door and home pod owners will
receive the same information via audio
notification well that about does it for
me for today be sure to take a quick
moment to let me know which of these new
features is your favorite down below in
the comment section and if you haven't
already done so make sure you shoot a
quick text message to that number that
way you can find out whenever my new
live call-in show begins thank you so
much for watching everyone this is david
