The focus of WWDC has always been on iOS and macOS, but Husson says this year tvOS could get a redesign, thanks to the new Apple TV 4K and a new Siri remote.Īpple will also announce a new version of macOS that powers the Mac. A recent job listing (now removed by Apple) hinted at the term “HomeOS” which very much indicates that Apple has a broader plan to expand its offerings in home entertainment and smart home space. It’s possible Apple will merge tvOS and HomePod OS and announce “HomeOS” at WWDC. Apple’s willingness to better integrate Fitness+ and Apple Arcade is something not hidden from anyone both services have the potential to bring more revenue for Cupertino in the long run.Īpple TV 4K might not be the iPhone but it is one device that only enhances the usefulness of Fitness+ and Apple Arcade. The focus of WWDC has always been on iOS and macOS, but Husson says this year tvOS could get a redesign, thanks to the new Apple TV 4K and a new Siri remote. AssistiveTouch on the Apple Watch, even though an accessibility feature, could open new ways to control devices in the future. Ahead of this year’s WWDC, the surprise announcement of new accessibility features, one of which allows users to control an Apple Watch without ever having to touch the display or controls, may get a lot of attention at the developer conference next week. But yes, small tweaks are on the cards that will only improve the Apple Watch, the world’s best-selling watch. Neither Zimmermann nor Husson expects watchOS 8 to be drastically different. She says Apple will “continue to keep iPadOS as a separate OS.” Annette Zimmermann, lead analyst for Apple at Gartner, too expects new changes coming to iPadOS this year.
But the biggest question is what impact does the M1 chip and iPadOS 15 have on the new iPad Pro.

Not to forget, the iPad Pro features a LiDAR scanner that promises better-augmented reality apps and software. And since the Pro model has the same M1 chip as the MacBook Air, Apple could also improve the augmented reality experience on the top iPad model. Speculation is rife that iPadOS may get the same home screen customisation features that came to the iPhone last year, including widgets that you can place on any home screen page, and the App Library. Though lately, Apple is making consistent efforts to pitch the iPad as your primary computer, and with the launch of the M1 iPad Pro, there is a hope Cupertino will continue to distinguish iPadOS from iOS. Despite Apple saying iPadOS is different from iOS, the fact is the iPad-centric operating system is very much iOS. Naturally, new changes in iOS 15 will come to iPadOS too. Husson pointed out that “iMessage won’t become a social network per se and since it is restricted to Apple users, it won’t compete with WhatsApp.” Reports suggest Apple may announce a new chip at WWDC that will be way more powerful than the M1 processor. There has been speculation that Apple might make iMessage more social in nature, though it’s not clear what Cupertino would achieve in doing this until it wants to compete with WhatsApp.

In addition to that, Apple is said to be making changes to iMessage, the messaging platform that drives people to buy iPhones over Android smartphones. Husson expects Apple to announce more privacy features as well as new notification controls, allowing users to set preferences based on their current statuses like time of the day and different activities - sleeping, driving, or working.
