With just a few hours to go before the start of the WWDC of this year 2021, again virtual, we analyze what the news in software that the company can present may be. It is even rumored with the possibility that it may be presented in society which may be the 16-inch MacBook pro with Apple Silicon and even with the new improved M1X chip or even the M2. Let's go over what has been mentioned so far.
New homeOS operating system for WWDC 2021
Although the rumors were short-lived, was seen in a job offer, as Apple had mentioned and written homeOS. A new operating system for your home division that would focus primarily on the HomePod and Apple TV. A mix that has been rumored several times in recent months. There was even talk of the possibility of joining the devices into one and launching a HomePod with a digital screen on the market.
The announcement was soon modified by Apple and there was talk of HomePod and tvOS again. We do not know then if homeOS was an inadvertent mistake by the managers of that parcel or if it was something intended to drop a small bomb before WWDC. We will know tomorrow.
New 16-inch MacBook Pro?
Although the conference that starts tomorrow is intended for developers and it is not usual for new devices to be introduced, it would not be the first time this has happened. Let's remember the iPad Pro. That is why some are already anticipating and say that it is more than possible that tomorrow the 7th and at WWDC the new 16-inch MacBook Pro. Waited like May water by many. It is also expected to be a real revolution, not only for its interior but also for its expected exterior redesign. Mini-LED, less angular edges, more screen but in the same space ... and a long etc.
Inwardly it is expected to shelter the new M2 chip or even what many have dubbed the M1X. A version, whatever it is called, improved with respect to the M1 version and it would be the first version of this second part.
iOS 15 and iPadOS 15
Apple's most popular product is iOS as it runs on more than billion iPhones, and it brings new capabilities to more users and developers every year. While Apple now talks about iOS and iPadOS as separate entities, they are still so similar that it is not unreasonable to talk about them together.
Apple is said to be working on improve lock screen notifications to give users more control. Also in terms of handling alerts in different ways depending on your activity. Messaging is rumored to get more features, and we may see food tracking as part of the Fitness app.
Watch 8
Few rumors have been about the new operating system that Apple will introduce for the Apple Watch. We are talking about measuring blood sugar, but a hardware redesign is more possible than a software redesign. So we probably won't see him tomorrow.
macOS 12
There have been few leaks regarding what will be the new software for the company's computers. The most important thing has been playing to guess what will be the name operating system, but what it will bring us ... little to say nothing at all. It seems that Apple this time is taking things seriously and you are not letting there be any leaks.
I do not know if there are no leaks, it is good or bad. It can be good in that it can surprise us but at the same time it is bad, because it can imply that there is going to be nothing special to talk about. If so, it will be a very boring WWDC and if the new MacBook Pro is presented, we would be somewhat distorting the usual developer conferences.
Anyway, there are only hours left to see what they will bring us and we will be there, as always, to be able to tell you everything we can. Do not miss it and enjoy what Apple will present in what may be the last in virtual format. Hopefully it will be like that.
