Apple's annual June event is still happening in 2020, it's just virtual. WWDC 2020 is the tech giant's annual worldwide developer conferences. This event is showing off its next generations of software: iOS, iPadOS, macOS, watchOS and tvOS will all get some time in the spotlight. See new features, faster experiences and we're even expecting to see some new products this year. Follow this storyboard for all the news from WWDC and to see other Apple products that are new in 2020.
It's time to talk about the second-generation iPhone SE. It's not just the latest iPhone to join the family, but it's the most affordable with the starting price of $399. It's the successor to the original iPhone SE that was released in 2016. This second-generation looks more like an iPhone 8, but …
There's finally a new iPad in town: the fourth-generation iPad Pro, available in an 11-inch model ($799) and a 12.9-inch model ($999.99). While at first glance these will seem pretty similar to previous generations, Apple packed a few key upgrades into these latest offerings. The new iPads have the …
Apple introduced the seventh-gen iPad to the world last September, alongside the iPhone 11, 11 Pro, 11 Pro Max and Apple Watch Series 5. With it, Apple kept the same portable size as the sixth-gen iPad, but increased the screen size to 10.2 inches and finally added a Smart Connector. It was speedy, …
There’s a lot we’re hoping to see from Apple at WWDC, and chances are we’ll get new platforms to power all the devices: iOS, iPadOS, macOS, watchOS and tvOS. We have high hopes for iOS 14 and iPadOS 14, as well as macOS 10.16. In the meantime, we’re gathering loads of deals on tech to pair with your devices, as well as Apple products. Check out what we’ve found so far.
Apple made a surprise announcement during WWDC 2020: updates to AirPods, AirPods Pro and AirPods with Wireless Charging Case. A forthcoming update to AirPods and AirPods Pro will allow them to automatically switch between devices, without you needing to hit a button. When you open your Mac, say, it will switch from your iPhone. This way you can take that video call with ease. Then if you get a call on your iPhone, AirPods will automatically switch back so you can have the calls right in your ears.
Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference is underway. Apple CEO Tim Cook kicked off WWDC 2020 on Monday with a short but jampacked keynote. At the event in Cupertino, California, Apple announced iOS 14, iPadOS 14, watchOS 7, tvOS and macOS 10.16. The big finale? Apple’s future Mac laptops and desktops will be powered by Apple silicon, aka an in-house-made processor akin to the A-series chips that power the iPhone and iPad.
So, with faster and more efficient Macs on the way, does it make sense to buy one now, or wait? Our suggestion? Don’t wait for Apple Silicon Macs to become available. Not because we don’t have confidence in Apple, but simply because we don’t know enough yet. We don’t know which Mac or Macs will launch later this year with Apple Silicon, nor how they’ll be priced. Will the first Apple Silicon-powered Mac be a $500 iMac Mini, one developers can buy and start testing their apps on right now? Or will it be a $2,000 MacBook Air with 5G connectivity? We just don’t know.
