WWDC Apple Updates of upcoming products

Apple have not released any new hardware at WWDC. The software updates it showed off all point to big changes for Apple because it revs up for an enormous slate of releases. And there are few things we will learn from what Apple showed us.

Magic Keyboard

Most surprising about iPadOS 14 is that it doesn’t have new trackpad gestures or multitasking improvements. When the Magic Keyboard arrived for the iPad Pro earlier this year, we thought needless to say that an outsized a part of iPadOS 14 would repose on the new cursor and trackpad. But from what we’ve seen thus far , iPadOS 14 does no such thing.Apple Pencil was mainly geared to illustrators, but Apple has elevated it to a full-on data input device . In iPad OS 14, Apple Pencil are going to be used for far more than simply drawing, as Apple enhanced iPadOS to acknowledge handwriting in any text field, so you won’t got to mention the keyboard in the least while using one. And more importantly, you won’t got to put the Apple Pencil right down to start typing.All iPads already support Apple Pencil, but because it takes on more prominence, I wouldn’t be surprised to ascertain it bundled with future models. Apple Pencil is sold as an adjunct now, but with the changes coming to iPadOS, it could quickly become an important tool for Apple’s tablet.

Apple Car

Apple surprisingly had tons to mention about automobiles at WWDC this year. There’s Car Key, which turns your iPhone into a wireless remote for your vehicle (as long as you own an upscale BMW), new app categories for CarPlay, and electric vehicle routing so you’ll never run out of juice, and well as speed cameras and Siri ETA sharing. But the underlying message we heard was that an Apple Car is off the table.To be fair, we’re skeptical that Apple was ever serious about building a car, but after exploring the features in iOS 14, we’re confident in saying Apple isn't getting to sell a car. Rather, Apple will take over the parts of the car that matter through CarPlay, Car Keys, Siri, and Maps, using your iPhone and Apple Watch because the , er, key.

Apple Glasses

If you didn’t believe Apple Glasses were a true thing before, WWDC should totally convince you. There are important under-the-hood enhancements in ARKit 4 that bring precise depth measurements, extended face tracking, and improved object occlusion for seamlessly integrating the important and virtual worlds. More importantly, many of the new features are geared toward quick, on-the-go interactions.Imagine a world where you'll slide on a pair of Apple Glasses and obtain cycling directions, browse city guides, scan QR codes to urge an App Clip, even unlock your car with a gesture. Apple won't have shown off anything as radical as a group of lenses, but it’s never been clearer that Apple is thinking of a mobile world beyond the restrictions of the iPhone.

Apple Watch 6

It might are overshadowed by all of the cool iOS 14 and macOS Big Sur announcements, but Apple Watch picked up a most sought-after feature: sleep tracking. In watchOS 7, your Apple Watch will track how long you’ve slept during your “bedtime,” which may be set within the app. That’s an enormous improvement over watchOS 6, which needed a third-party app to trace sleep, but it’s still a far cry from what more advanced trackers from Fitbit can do.The issue is probably going battery life. The Apple Watch has cursed with 18-hour battery life through every iteration, which is simply short enough so it won’t last all day and night. The Fitbit Versa, on the opposite hand, has four-day battery life, making sleep tracking a worry-free endeavour. We’re unsure Apple Watch will quite reach that prime , but it’s possible that it could double in battery life, which might also enable more advanced tracking functions.

AirPods

Apple took a couple of moments out of its WWDC keynote to speak about some cool new AirPods enhancements, including spatial audio and automatic device switching, but it had been the items Apple didn’t mention that were most intriguing.During the demo of the Translate app, I kept expecting Apple to speak about how it might integrate with AirPods to permit for hands-free translation and conversations, but it never came. But I even have little question that it’s within the works, as Apple continues to rework AirPods into something we wear as often as we do an Apple Watch.

iPhone

Well it wasn't expected that Apple would tell us anything about the upcoming iPhone 12 at WWDC, but we do get some clues as to what the new iPhone will bring. Ben Gaskin spotted an exciting new toggle inside the iOS 14 accessibility settings called the limit frame rate. As its name suggests, turning it on sets the display's maximum frame rate to 60fps, which may only be necessary if the iPhone can be set to a better frame rate, which it can't. At least not yet. We've heard rumours that the iPhone 12 Pro will have a 120Hz screen, and this toggle seems to confirm that.
