Apple wwdc 2020 rumors8/25/2023 Instead, you'll get a drop-down notification. And incoming phone calls will no longer interrupt what you’re doing and take up the entire screen. A Siri shortcut will now appear on the bottom right of certain app screens. It pops out on the left-hand side of app screens, and is supposed to offer easier navigation and better organization of app files. One example of this is a new sidebar, one that will appear in the Photos, Notes, Files, and Music apps. The latest version of iPadOS includes a lot of the same enhancements coming to iOS 14 for iPhone, but Apple seems determined to actually utilize the real estate of the larger tablet. It’s no surprise, then, that the latest version of iPadOS emphasizes this even more. And then this spring, Apple introduced the Magic Keyboard for iPad Pro-a ridiculously expensive but welcome backlit keyboard (with trackpad!) that nudged the iPad even further into Real Computer territory. The move was both practical and symbolic it gave the iPad more Mac-like features, while also establishing iPad’s position as not-just-a-giant-iPhone. Last year, Apple finally gave the nine-year-old iPad its own native operating system, called iPadOS. The move to Apple Silicon will start with new Macs released later this year, and the entire transition should take two years, Apple says. And while they’re more than suitable for the average consumer, it’s an open question if ARM-based processors can keep up with the demands of Apple’s professional creative class. Still, developers who haven’t already built for iOS will have an adjustment period. Apple says that developers will have everything they need to make apps that run on ARM-based Macs in the new version of Xcode, and that Xcode will continue to support apps for both Intel x86 Macs and Apple Silicon Macs. And this move also brings Apple’s custom-designed neural engines to Macs, which is important for compute tasks that increasingly use machine learning.īut as with the transition from PowerPC to Intel in 2006, there could be some bumps along the way. Apple emphasized that it already has plenty of experience scaling low-power SoCs for iPhone and even the Apple Watch, which suggests that the battery life on Mac laptops may soon get a boost. ARM-based “Apple Silicon” chips will give Apple’s computers an efficiency bump, and the company will no longer rely on Intel’s update cycles to push its capabilities forward. In the announcement, which was kicked off by Tim Cook but then tossed to engineers in an “undisclosed location,” Cook highlighted three major milestones in Mac history: the move from PowerPC to Intel chips in 2006, Apple’s transition to MacOS X, and now, this one.
