The 31st Apple Developer Conference (WWDC 2020) will be held on June 22 at 10am . Unlike the past, the first day of this developer conference will be broadcast online for the first time. Through this method, the whole world can watch this conference by logging in to Apple’s official website or other live broadcast channels. At that time, CNMO will also provide real-time reports for everyone. Before that, let us first summarize the current news from the Internet about this developer conference, which includes iOS 14, iPadOS 14, macOS 10.16, watchOS 7, tvOS 14 five major ecology and about Mac series, headphones and other hardware-the latest content of new products. Without further ado, let's start with a warm-up for this speech.

Apple WWDC 2020 Preview

iOS 14


First of all, the biggest rumor of this conference is that iOS 14 will be renamed to "iPhoneOS 14" in this generation, but friends familiar with Apple products should remember that iOS was called "iPhoneOS" when the iPhone was run in early 2007, and later changed. For iOS, when the iPad was released in early 2010, the iPad was also named after the mobile phone's OS system. After the announcement of iPadOS last year, a formal distinction was made between the two systems, so it would be logical to have the official return of the name "iPhoneOS".

In addition, according to the current news, iOS 14 will be compatible with all hardware devices that support iOS 13 on the market, which means that iPhone 6s and subsequent 16 models can use iOS 14 normally.

In terms of functions, it is rumored that iOS 14 will have a big change in the main screen view. A list style main screen view is added to the traditional grid distribution. The order of the list can be adjusted according to the needs of the user. At the same time, widget functions will be added. In addition to static icons, dynamic icons and full-size widgets will also appear, which means that your iPhone screen will have a more personalized layout in the future, and the application function will be more powerful at any time. .

It is worth mentioning that this iOS 14 will be able to realize the call recording function, support the recording of phone and FaceTime call recording, but during the recording process, both parties will be prompted and the permission of both parties can be recorded before recording to ensure the safety of the call.

iPad OS 14

The biggest update about iPadOS 14 should be the global mouse cursor. You can get the experience of using a mouse like an MacBook on an iPad through an external mouse or trackpad.

The new PencilKit feature will allow users to write handwritten input on any text input interface and convert to standard text. It can be used in applications such as sending message reply emails.

Another update is for the content of the iPad’s external keyboard. The new iPadOS 14 will add keyboard shortcuts to adjust common iPad settings, such as screen brightness or keyboard backlight.

macOS10.16

This year's WWDC 2020, there is very little news about macOS 10.16, and even its name is not yet known. However, according to the convention, Apple usually names its Mac operating system as a landmark in California. The last version of macOS 10.15 was named Catalina. . macOS 10.15 has been improved in many places, but some users think that macOS 10.15 is still not satisfactory in some places, so I believe that the new macOS 10.16 will be improved.

watchOS 7

The core function of Apple Watch has always been health monitoring, so the update of watchOS 7 will also revolve around this core. First of all, support for blood oxygen detection will be added to watchOS 7, and currently the supported devices are not clear. The sleep monitoring function will also be possible to log in to watchOS 7, and give targeted suggestions based on the user's related sleep status. These functions will be synchronized with iOS 14 to facilitate users to understand their health status at any time, of course, will also add a new dial and dial sharing function.

There are rumors that the new Apple TV 6 will meet us at this WWDC 2020. According to rumors, the device will be equipped with an A12X processor, the same as the 2018 iPad Pro. Storage space will also be greatly improved, or there will be 128GB storage space to choose from.

Apple TV's new remote control may also be officially released at this conference. It is not clear what new functions this remote control can provide.

On the software, tvOS 14 will support the Apple TV permanent audio output option, you can choose HomePod as the audio, without having to manually select AirPlay. The new Kids Mode can set up separate accounts for teenagers, and parents can choose the applications that the account can open.

MacBook, iMac

The most eye-catching at this conference should be the news that Apple will officially enable ARM-based chips in the MacBook series. Although this kind of news has been circulating for many years, but now the news can be confirmed. Apple's project called "Kalamata" already has at least three ARM processors in development. The main design ideas for these three processors come from Apple's next-generation iPhone processor A14 chip. In other words, MAC will also start using A series chips similar to the iPhone.

AirPods Studio/AirPods X

The last product that is very likely to be released is the new AirPod. AirPods is an emerging product line that has been loved by users in the past two years. There have been two upgrades before and after. So the most likely to be released at this conference is the head-mounted AirPods Studio that has been circulating. It is reported that the overseas foundry assembly of this new headset is already in progress. According to the time node analysis, it is most likely to be released on WWDC 2020.

This AirPods Studio will be a headset and will be an independent product. Perhaps this is roughly the same design as some of Beats’ headphones. There is not much information about the hardware of the headset, but the only certain thing is This is the highest-positioned product in the AirPods product line, and the price will exceed $400.

WWDC2020

In addition, another AirPods X may also be released on WWDC2020, which will be a shoulder-mounted wireless sports headset. The price may not exceed $ 150.

So through these two products, we can see that both AirPods Studio and AirPods X are very different from the previously released AirPods products. In terms of price differentiation, they can be seen as a supplement to the AirPods product line, and they are also close to AirPods products. An affirmation of outstanding contributions in two years.

but as Jon Prosser and Max Weinbach said, Apple has canceled plans to release any new hardware at WWDC 2020

It is worth noting that Apple "previewed" the Mac Pro and Pro Display XDR at WWDC last year, and Apple may postpone the release of new hardware products this year due to supply chain problems until its production conditions improve.
