What to expect from WWDC 2022
In this edition of WWDC 2022 we hope to learn, as on previous occasions, new versions of the main Apple platforms. Among them: iOS 16, iPadOS 16, tvOS, macOS, watchOS 9, etc.
Pre-event rumors suggest that iOS 16 could bring some changes noticeable in lock screen and notification handling. They also suggest that iPadOS 16 will bring big changes to multitasking.
On the other hand, there are also rumors about possible hardware announcements during this WWDC 2022. The main focus is on the Mac Pro with ARM processors. According to the latest rumours, the company also has other teams on its roadmap. These include an M2-powered MacBook Air, so even though WWDC is a developer event, that team could be featured at the ceremony.
Finally, many rumors suggest that Apple could introduce the long-awaited virtual reality headsets for the first time, or that the operating system will support them. If that happens, it will surely be one of the big announcements of the event.
