Updates one can expect at this year’s WWDC

iOS and iPadOS

It won’t take a scientist to predict that we will get a new version of Apple’s operating system, which means iOS 16 and developers will get access to an early developer beta. Rumour has it there will be changes in departments like notifications, Messages and Health. If there are changes to the Messages app, it will be around having more social functionality besides new audio messages functionality.

According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, there will be “fresh Apple apps” but we are not sure what those could be. He has also pointed out multitasking improvements in iPadOS 16 that will bring the device closer to a laptop. So a more desktop-style experience.

Much of what Apple will speak about at WWDC points to future offerings on the next version of the iPhone. So a suggestion of a dynamic status bar means the next iPhone may ditch the biggish notch. One of the most asked for feature may also arrive in the form of always-on lock screen but some have predicted that it will be exclusive to iPhone 14 Pro.
