WWDC 2022: Apple presents iOS 16, follow the keynote live – Frandroid

After its spring keynote rich in novelties, Apple is resuming its June habits with its WWDC 2022 developer conference, which is being held this Monday. On the menu: iOS 16, macOS 13, watchOS 9… and maybe virtual reality and a MacBook Air. Follow the conference live. 19:50 It’s time for watchOS 9! watchOS 9 is on the scene! We are obviously entitled to new dials and new interfaces to use your connected watch more pleasantly and to do without the iPhone in certain cases. Activity tracking also gets more accurate with a whole lot more relevant data about your health. When you run, for example, the Apple Watch will be able to more precisely differentiate the movements of your torso from those of your wrist. The Fitness app is also coming to all iPhone users to see if you’re completing all your circles during the day. 19:45 iOS 16 at a glance Here’s a quick summary of what’s new in iOS 16. 19:40 Apple CarPlay is now supercharged Apple has worked closely with many car manufacturers to better connect your car to your iPhone. You will be able to control more things in your car from your phone, but you will also be able to greatly customize your dashboard. 7:36 PM Apple puts the package on the connected home Apple explains that it has joined the Matter standard, making it easier to connect connected objects to each other. However, the firm specifies that it maintains a high level of security. Added to this is an easier-to-use interface on your phone to control things in your home. New section, new tiles, new widgets. Apple’s app for the connected home promises to be much more pleasant and practical. 19:31 Sharing photos easier A new cloud-based option allows users to automatically share certain photos. You just have to configure the options to clearly indicate which contacts can be part of your shared gallery. Then you can ask the application to only share the photos in which you appear with your spouse or partner for example. Please note that iOS 16 is still involved in data security, which has always been at the heart of Apple’s communication. 7:29 PM Apple Plans improves in France Apple Plan offers in more places maps with 3D modeling for better immersion. France is concerned. 7:22 PM Apple Pay Later presented, but what is it? Here is Apple Pay Later. Thanks to this new feature, Apple Pay lets you pay in 4 instalments if you cannot or do not want to advance the entire amount at once. That’s not all, Apple Wallet allows ID cards to be stored in more geographical areas. France seems concerned if we are to believe a tweet from the official account of France Identity. 7:16 PM iOS 16 gets smarter iOS 16 improves spoken dictation more than ever to accurately recognize what the user is saying and translate it into writing. But that’s not all, the Live Text function is also optimized to effectively understand the text displayed in a video for easy copying and pasting. Ditto for the camera function of the translation application. It is also this ability of iOS 16 that will allow you to convert currencies just by photographing the price tagged on a product. 19:12 Improved Focus mode and Messages app iOS 16 will also come with an update to Focus mode to even better sort out your activities that you want to stay focused on. Safari, for example, will let you view only work-related tabs during the day so you don’t get distracted by other potentially open tabs. On the side of the Messages app, Apple also presents new features: easier correction for typos; canceling a sent message; mark a conversation as unread. That’s not all. The SharePlay function arrives in the Message app. 7:07 PM iOS 16 and its new locked screen We attack right away with heavy stuff and iOS 16 which has a locked screen that is more customizable than ever. With a few fairly simple gestures, you can change the font, the wallpaper or even display important information. You can opt for screens with animations or simpler and sober screens. In short, have fun. And Apple clearly indicates to application developers that they have the possibility of offering functions dedicated to this locked screen. In addition, notifications are also improved to display intelligently grouped to see more clearly on the lock screen. 7:03 PM Tim Cook at the report Tim Cook obviously begins the WWDC 2022 keynote. He takes the opportunity to recall Apple’s commitments and actions to highlight minorities and grow its community of developers. 18:59 It begins! That’s it, let’s go! The credits are on! 18:47 We’re live on Twitch Don’t hesitate to follow the WWDC 2022 conference live on Frandroid’s Twitch channel with our presenter Arnaud and our guest PP Garcia! Our reporter Melinda is also on hand to cover the event in San Francisco. 6:38 pm Still a bit of a wait We slowly take our seats to follow the Apple WWDC 2022 conference. The Apple firm isn’t used to being late (not more than a few minutes anyway). In addition, the conference is pre-recorded, so a priori, the keynote will start smoothly. The invite for WWDC 2022 had already slipped in some potential clues. Still a few hours before knowing what Tim Cook and his family have in store for developers and the general public who will be able to attend the introductory keynote of the developer conference on Monday. If we are obviously waiting for iOS, macOS or even watchOS, the time may also have come for Apple to unveil the first bits of a new world that the company imagines around its products. When and where to follow the Apple keynote? WWDC 2022 is being held all week online. It begins with the opening keynote which begins this Monday, June 6 at 7 p.m. (10 a.m., San Francisco time) and can be followed live on our site as well as on Frandroid’s Twitch channel from 6:30 p.m. with Arnaud and his guests.

The Worldwide Developers Conference 22, or conference of Apple developers, is held every year in June and is aimed at creators of content, applications and software thanks to the different operating systems of the Apple brand. This event lasts this year from June 6 to 10. It is made up of several sessions, workshops and other meetings in order to allow developers from all over the world to discuss with the Cupertino teams around the new OS (iOS, iPadOS, macOS, tvOS, watchOS) and possibly new products or programming tools.

But this year, as for two years, it will take place mainly online, even if, this time, a thousand developers and certain media, including Frandroid, can go to California for this hybrid conference. The highlight of WWDC is obviously the introductory keynote which kicks off the week and takes place this Monday, June 6th. It will be broadcast online and broadcast at the Steve Jobs Theater for a thousand developers who have been invited for the occasion. What are we going to show there? WWDC is the place to present the new operating systems for iPhone and iPod (iOS 16), iPad (iPadOS 16), Mac (macOS 13), Apple Watch (watchOS 9) and Apple TV. (tvOS 16). All the new products are unveiled there and often give a glimpse of what will equip the products for the start of the school year (iPhone 14 in mind and Apple Watch Series 8 to come). Source: Apple 2022 should also be an opportunity to finally discover the vision of virtual reality according to Apple. It is unlikely to see the helmet in the final version, but the possible applications should be revealed, if only to make developers want to get down to it. There are also rumors of the arrival of a new MacBook Air or even a Mac Pro with a supercharged M1 chip. We give you an update on expectations in a dedicated article.
