What reveals do you how to see at Apple’s WWDC 2022?

Apple’s Worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC) starts June 6th, with the Cupertino, California-based company revealing its upcoming lineup of software updates for its various operating systems and possibly even new hardware.

During Apple’s WWDC keynote at 1pm ET/10am PT on June 6th, we expect to see iOS 16, which is tipped to offer several enhancements, including introducing new health-tracking features and an update to notifications.

Alongside iOS 16, we should also see WatchOS 9, which might feature major activity and health tracking upgrades. Apple will also likely reveal iPadOS 16, macOS 13, tvOS 16 and more.

On the hardware side, we might also see a new iMac Pro, Mac mini, Mac Pro and perhaps a new MacBook Air with Apple’s often-rumoured M2 chip.

With this in mind, our question this week is, what are you most excited to see? Are you more looking forward to the software improvements across all of Apple’s operating systems, or are you hoping to see new hardware? Let us know in the comments below.

watchOS 9 will bring new Watch Faces, low-power mode to Apple Watch

watchOS 9, the next version of Apple’s wearable operating system, could bring several new features to the Apple Watch.

According to Bloomberg’s often-reliable Mark Gurman, Apple plans to add a low -ower state to the Apple Watch that will allow it to use more features when its battery is almost depleted, including running specific apps. Power Reserve mode currently only lets Apple Watch wearers view a small digital clock.

Gurman goes on to say the Apple Watch will get new workout types, tracking metrics during workouts and expanded sleep tracking with watchOS 9. Other additional features include expanded women’s health functionality, more information about atrial fibrillation, and a medication reminder app that Bloomberg says has been in the works since 2019.

Finally, the report says that Apple plans to refresh several of its older Watch Faces with new ‘Complications’ and, of course, introduce new Faces, just like it does with every watchOS update. Several of the tech giant’s older and more popular Watch Faces haven’t been updated with the Apple Watch’s more recent Complications system, so this move makes sense on Apple’s part.

It’s likely watchOS 9 will be revealed at WWDC 2022 in June during the conference’s keynote on June 6th. Apple will also likely reveal iOS 16, macOS 13, tvOS 16 and more at its all-digital developers conference.

In the same report, Gurman mentions that blood-pressure tracking and blood sugar monitoring are likely still several years away from release.

Apple’s digital WWDC 2022 runs from June 6-10

Apple has officially confirmed that its 2022 Worldwide Developers Conference will take place from Monday, June 6th to Friday, June 10th.

Like last year’s WWDC, Apple’s 2022 developers conference will be held digitally and won’t feature an in-person element. That said, the company is hosting a keynote and ‘State of the Union’ presentation for a limited number of developers and students on June 6th. It’s unclear if media will also be invited to this event.

“At its heart, WWDC has always been a forum to create connection and build community,” said Susan Prescott, Apple’s vice president of worldwide developer relations and enterprise and education marketing, in a recent statement. “In that spirit, WWDC22 invites developers from around the world to come together to explore how to bring their best ideas to life and push the envelope of what’s possible. We love connecting with our developers, and we hope all of our participants come away feeling energized by their experience.”

Like its previous all-digital WWDC events, the 2022 edition of the conference is entirely free. Apple says that WWDC 2022 will feature more information sessions and learning lounges than past WWDC events. The tech giant also describes the developers conference as a “truly global event.”

Apple is expected to reveal iOS 16, iPadOS 16, macOS 13, tvOS 16 and watchOS 9 at WWDC 2022. There’s also a possibility we may finally see the tech giant’s long-awaited MacBook Air refresh or its rumoured Apple silicon-powered MacBook Pro.

MobileSyrup will have more on WWDC 2022 in the coming weeks, including a full recap of what we expect to see at the event.
