iOS 16 will soon be officially unveiled. And if the interface should not create surprises, we expect additional native applications with this update.
WWDC 2022 kicks off on June 6. During this event, Apple will present the software innovations to be expected on its products and operating systems in the coming months, and the big attraction will of course be iOS 16. Pending official information, journalist Mark Gurman (Bloomberg) gives us a glimpse of what to expect.
Interactive widgets?
According to the source, iOS 16 will not be an update that will disrupt the interface of iPhones. We shouldn’t see any major changes here.
On the other hand, the new version should bring “ new ways to interact “, we learn. In itself, this is not very precise and it is difficult to realize concretely what will evolve. But cross-checking with previous reports, this claim seems to confirm the fact that Apple will finally introduce interactive widgets. Today, widgets are only used to display information or to refer to an application, but do not allow any control. This should change with iOS 16, therefore.
Several new apps expected
Mark Gurman adds that the update would also offer new Apple-branded native apps. One of them could be Apple Music Classical, traces of which have been spotted in the code of iOS 15.5. Recall that the Cupertino company acquired Primephonic, a music streaming platform specializing in classical music, in the summer of 2021.
One of the most important segments of WDCC 2022 should be devoted to watchOS 9, which would benefit from many new features. Automatically, this will lead to the addition of features related to Apple Watch to iOS, which remains the central hub from which you control your Apple devices.
In addition, previous leaks mentioned a redesigned notification system, a mode Do not disturb reworked and more complete, as well as new functions related to health and well-being.
