Craig Federighi is Apple's SVP of Software Engineering, and he had plenty of time on stage at this year's Worldwide Developers Conference keynote to talk about a lot of the new things Apple is launching this year. But now that the keynote is wrapped up, Federighi is making the rounds, discussing those features, and offering up a few more tidbits of information along the way.
iOS 13 brings plenty of new features to the mobile operating system, which Apple officially announced at this year's WWDC keynote. The software will launch later this year, and Apple is bringing with it even more privacy and security aspects to the mobile OS. That includes doubling down on privacy security and a new way to log into apps and websites.
Apple introduced a brand new, dedicated mobile operating system for its iPad lineup at this year's WWDC keynote. iPadOS lets the iPad branch off iOS 13, giving it more features that take advantage of the larger display size when compared to iPhones. That includes tweaks to the software keyboard.
The Apple Watch is getting an impressive boost with watchOS 6, which Apple recently announced at this year's WWDC keynote. That goes beyond new watch faces, though. Apple is also introducing one of the most oft-requested features for its smartwatch: the App Store.
macOS Catalina is the next big update for Apple's desktop operating system. The company is adding quite a bit to the new software, and it isn't forgetting about the stock Mail app, either. While the list of changes isn't all that long, the new additions will probably be welcomed for those who prefer Apple's email app.
While Apple launched a second-generation truly wireless AirPods model earlier this year, the company didn't completely forget about the earphones at this year's Worldwide Developers Conference. Quite the opposite, actually, as Apple announced a pair of new features for AirPods coming along with iOS 13.
As is par for the course, Apple announced a ton of new features that will be coming along with brand new versions of its various operating systems. And while the company takes time on stage during the WWDC keynote to go over many details, not everything can be covered with the time allowed. But that's why Apple executives are more than willing to shed some details after the keynote.
Apple didn't miss a chance to help spice up its Apple Watch lineup, offering up new watch faces along with plenty of new features tied to watchOS 6 and its public launch later this year after the big WWDC unveil.
One of the major new announcements at this year's Worldwide Developers Conference was the unveiling of a brand new operating system: iPadOS. This is built upon the bedrock of iOS, but Apple sees plenty of room for the iPad to really differentiate itself in the years to come. To help with that, a new OS was launched.
iTunes is dead. Long live iTunes (in Windows). While Apple was happy to ring the death knell for iTunes in macOS, there was still some speculation swirling around as to what it all meant for Windows users out there using iTunes. Had Apple just killed syncing in Windows? Turns out that, no, Apple did not do that.
The keynote for this year's Worldwide Developers Conference is finished, which means Apple executives are making the rounds to discuss some of the aspects in greater detail. As such, a pair of the company's higher-ups have sat down with CNET to discuss iPadOS and privacy in two separate reports.
After announcing the winner of the WWDC 2019 draft, Cody and Sebastien share their favorite announcements of the event.
