Apple began its Worldwide Developers Conference – WWDC 2022 – in California on Monday, the annual software event that sees updates to all of its products.

It included iOS 16, a major update to the iPhone’s operating system that brought a significant redesign, as well as new health and notifications features.

All of Apple’s products saw new additions, from the smallest Apple Watch to the biggest Mac, through new iterations of the WatchOS, iPadOS and MacOS operating systems. All will be available for Apple users later this year, while developers will have instant access to a beta version.

Apple also launched new hardware, too, with a new MacBook Air and MacBook Pro – both powered by the M2 chip that gives significant performance gains.

The event was live streamed on Apple’s website and official YouTube channel. You can read the whole even, as it happened, in our blog below.

iPadOS 16 builds on Apple’s focus on continuity

Many of the new updates for iPadOS 16 are also coming to iOS and MacOS, which makes sense for all the focus being put on continuity.

All three are increasingly interchangeable, and mean the experience is only differentiated by the form factor. From being on the move, to sitting on the sofa, to being in the office, the operating systems powering the iPhone, iPad and Macs are unified.
