KEYNOTE. Only a few days left until the next Apple Keynote. Discover all the first information and revelations to come for the conference of the firm, as well as the official date.
The next Apple Keynote should be held by the beginning of June. Several big announcements are expected from Apple, but mainly around the side of the firm’s operating systems. The June Apple Keynote is the WWDC (Apple Worldwide Developers Conference). As its name suggests, it is primarily intended for partner developers in different Apple environments (iOS, iPadOS, WatchOS, etc.).
While waiting for the official launch of the next Apple Keynote at WWDC, find all the official dates of the event in our article. Several of the upcoming announcements are already at the center of many rumors on the web. We therefore offer you a short summary of the new features to come, with in particular iOS 16 and iPadOS 16.
What date for the next Apple Keynote?
Apple has confirmed this: the next Apple WWDC Keynote will be held from June 6 to 10, 2022. No surprise behind this information, since Apple has got into the habit of organizing its Keynote called WWDC (Apple Worldwide Developers Conference) during the first week of June.
After WWDC, it is likely that the next Apple Keynote will be organized in September. This third conference of the year is generally the most followed and the most important, insofar as it is mainly centered around the new iPhones (here the iPhone 14).
Finally, the potential fourth and last Keynote Apple conference of the year would be organized in October. The latter has not always been held by the firm, so it is also likely that Apple will stick only to its September conference.
What upcoming announcements for the next Apple Keynotes?
If it is still a little early to determine with precision the future announcements of Apple Keynotes, it is always possible to project yourself and relate the noises of the corridors. Thus, it is a safe bet that the next WWDC conference in 2022 will present the new iOS 16 with its share of new features. This new OS will certainly not be the only one unveiled, since Apple also usually unveils new versions of MacOS, iPadOS and WatchOS at the same time.
What’s coming for iOS 16?
In all likelihood, the next Apple Keynote from WWDC will introduce iOS 16. Althoughno big aesthetic changes should be expected this yearspecialist Mark Gurman of Bloomberg indicates that iOS 16 will bring “big changes” to the iPhone. In particular, it mentions new interactions to make life easier for users. The first leaks also speak of new applications specially developed by Apple.
Will my iPhone be compatible with iOS 16?
The next version of iOS 16 unveiled at the Apple Keynote will be the one planned as the base on the next iPhone 14. But what about older versions of the iPhone? If Apple sticks to its habits, the iPhones compatible with the next iOS 16 would be the following:
- The whole iPhone 14 range
- iPhone SE 2 and iPhone SE 3
- iPhone 13 and its different versions
- iPhone 12 and its different versions
- iPhone 11 and its different versions
- iPhone X and its different versions
- iPhone 8 et iPhone 8 Plus
- iPhone 7 et iPhone 7 Plus
While iOS 15 also included the iPhone 6s released in 2014, the next iOS 16 presented at the Apple Keynote would ignore them. You will therefore have to change your iPhone if you want to continue to benefit from the next updates, and in particular those designed for the security of your data.
Upcoming announcements for the iPhone 13 during the next Apple Keynote?
If Apple Keynotes are often eagerly awaited, it is because they are an opportunity for the firm to unveil new products. Several Internet users are wondering in particular about the possibility of new features to come around the iPhone 13 or the iPhone 14 during the upcoming conference in June. The June Apple Keynote, however, should only focus on new operating systems, and skip the iPhone 13 and 14.
What announcements are coming for the Apple Watch at the Apple Keynote?
The next Apple Keynote should also return to the Apple Watch. The connected watch is still among the leaders in its field, and Apple intends to continue this success. The Keynote should be the occasion for Apple to unveil WatchOS 9.
WatchOS 9, which should be presented during the Apple Keynote on June 6, would be compatible with all Apple Watch except Series 0, 1 and 2. This new version would notably introduce an “energy saving” mode as well as satellite connectivity to send emergency messages. Rumors also mention new sleep features as well as new official watch faces.
