From PC World: Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference keynote on Monday morning was jam-packed with announcements, from all the features coming in iOS 10 to a new iPad coding app for kids.
iOS 10 includes major upgrades to iMessage, Photos, Siri, Maps, and Apple Music, and a brand-new Home app to control all of your HomeKit devices. Check out all the announcements here.
Goodbye, OS X. Hello, macOS. The next-generation Mac operating system has a new name, macOS Sierra, but most of the same great features, with some extras to boot—everything from Siri and Apple Pay integration to iCloud Drive desktop access and picture-in-picture (an iPad feature we love and can’t wait to use on the Mac).
The Apple Watch was in desperate need of an upgrade, because everything about it is slooooow. It sounds like watchOS 3 will fix most of those speed issues, with an instant app launcher, background refresh, an app-switching dock, new fitness features like activity-sharing with friends and a meditative app called Breathe, and easier messaging thanks to a handwriting-to-text tool called Scribble. Apple even made the Apple Watch more accessible with fitness features for people who use wheelchairs, recognizing that some Apple Watch owners need settings that go beyond traditional workouts and stand notifications.
Apple didn’t announce an unbundled live TV streaming service, but the Apple TV is getting a big update with tvOS 10. The biggest feature is single sign-in, so you can enter your cable subscription information one time instead of per app, but there are tons of improvements like live tune-in, dark mode, HomeKit control, and YouTube search.
