What to expect from WWDC 2022?
The next version of iOS is one of the most anticipated, and iOS 16 is likely to bring significant improvements this time around. According to prior claims by Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, while iOS 16 will not be a cosmetic revamp, it will have some significant new features. This features Always On Display functionality for the iPhone 13 and upcoming iPhone 14 series. This implies that users may check the display for certain alerts, like as time, messages, and so on, without having to worry about battery life. Other Android devices, like those from OnePlus, Xiaomi, and Samsung, have included an Always On Display.
According to the same rumour, Apple may also include more customization choices for the Lock Screen, such as wallpapers with widget-like features. Apple is also anticipated to update Messages with new features to make it more resemble a social network. It's unclear how this will happen, however there has been talk about improving the audio communications function. Apple iOS 16 will also include new capabilities to the Health app, such as more comprehensive sleep tracking and possibly pill management tools.
