Apple hasn't always had a focus on gaming over the years, but that's changing. Thanks to the popularity of the Mac in general, but also the switch to Apple silicon. So, there's a new focus on gaming moving forward.
We are at the macOS portion of today's WWDC event, and Apple just announced the new version will be called macOS Ventura. Among the updates is a new feature called Stage Manager, which is meant to help you keep all of your open windows organized.
The MacBook Air is getting a new entry to its lineup. It's one of the most popular laptops out there in the market, and easily one of the strongest products for Apple's laptop segment. Today, we get a redesigned MacBook Air with the new M2 processor under the hood.
Continuing with its iOS 16 announcements, Apple has unveiled a refreshed Home app. It doesn't appear to be a total redesign, but there are a ton of UI refinements that make the app easier to use. Additionally, Apple says that support for the new smart home standard Matter is on the way.
Apple is finally bringing some new changes to the CarPlay feature with iOS 16, which it just announced at this year's Worldwide Developers Conference. Finally, the new CarPlay experience will support even more screens, including the gauge cluster, and offer up even more information.
Apple's iOS 16 software includes new features for the iPhone's Messages app, like message revoking and the ability to recall a sent message, among other changes.
Apple is making it easier to share photos with people in iOS 16. It's already pretty easy to share photos, especially with people using Family Sharing. However, with iOS 16, Apple is making it even easier. And, in some instances, even automatic. Even directly from the Camera app.
Apple is updating the Maps app again, making it even better. That starts with brand new features, some of which have been requested by users for quite some time. And the better Maps experience, which has been rolling out for quite some time, is going out to more cities.
Today is the day. It's the keynote for this year's Worldwide Developers Conference, which means it's packed with new announcements. Which includes new products! And platforms, including the major changes coming to iOS. And this year is certainly no different.

iPadOS is the software that helps differentiate the iPad lineup from the iPhone, even if it is technically based on iOS. And there are plenty of similarities, of course, especially when it comes to general features. But that's the idea. Bridge the gap between the two mobile operating systems, but also leave plenty of similarities so that they retain that helpfulness users have come to expect.
