#Apple keynote updates software
This week we’ll learn what new things those gadgets will be able to do with Apple’s yearly torrent of free software updates: iOS 15, iPadOS 15, MacOS 12, WatchOS 8 and TVOS 15 (and maybe even HomeOS). Our previous coverageĪpple used this year’s spring event to announce the new M1 iPad Pro, a new M1-powered iMac, AirTags and a purple iPhone 12. It’s 30 minutes until the start of WWDC and our live show, with hosts Iyaz Akhtar, Claire Reilly, Lexy Savvides and Patrick Holland, has begun. In this case, people will sound like they’re coming from different parts of a room, based on where their FaceTime tiles are shown. Another is “spatial audio,” which is Apple’s term for surround sound. One is called sound isolation, which cuts out background noise.
It isn’t FaceTime for Android, but it’s Apple limited way of making FaceTime more open.Īpple head of software Craig Federighi, said the company’s also adding features to make it easier to participate in calls. The way it works is that FaceTime users can share a link to their friends, which they then click on and then they’ll be brought to a webpage that looks similar to the FaceTime app on an iPhone. The biggest change is that FaceTime will work on the web, allowing people to participate in video chats if they’re using a non-Apple device. This year, Apple’s planning a bunch of changes for it in iOS 15. It also offers end-to-end encryption, something that’s helped it stand out from SMS. Apple said this will be particularly helpful for families with elderly people and kids.Īpple said all this data is encrypted and can’t be read by Apple.Īpple iPads get new widget and multitasking tools AppleĪpple brings FaceTime to non-iPhone usersįaceTime is already a popular feature on Apple products, in part thanks to the fact that it’s built in by default.
The company said people will now be able to share health data with other iPhone users, and give them access to whatever selected data you want. So, for example, the next time you get a blood test, the Health app will explain what each datapoint means and whether it’s within expected ranges.Īpple’s also adding a way to share health data with your family. It’s also building more helpful information into the labs section of its Health app. The company said it’s building “trends” into its Health app, showing whether you’re more (or less) active. And if your likelihood of falling rises, Apple said it’ll send an alert to warn you.Īpple’s building other features to help decode health data into its Health app. Apple said the new datapoint, called “steadiness,” is scientifically validated, and based on how you walk throughout the day. Now, it said the Health app will identify what your likelihood is to fall in the future. A couple years ago, Apple added a feature to the Apple Watch to call for help if you fall.
