WWDC 2021 :-
One of the most anticipated developer events of the year, Apple ( Worldwide Developers Council ) WWDC 2021, finally took place on June 7, with a number of revelations and a whole array of new Apple based operating systems. The company has been betting on a new horse lately-privacy, introducing features to make customer data more secure than ever, something that has not gone down well with Facebook. Now, instigating the bull even more, the tech giant has announced more stringent privacy features at last night’s event.
It has been announced that the new line of operating systems, including the iOS 15, iPadOS 15, watchOS 8, and even the macOS Monterey, will have much stronger privacy protection shields, which will allow users to better regulate access to their data.
• iOS 15 :-
On iOS 15 is official realeasd and there is a huge list of changes coming. We can't wait to start playing with it more. Some of the biggest new features include SharePlay, which lets you share content with friends over FaceTime calls, much improved notifications, a new design in Safari and even the ability to store you driver's license in Apple Wallet.
Though the full version of iOS 15 won't ship until later this year, Apple's iOS preview offers us the chance to see what big features Apple has planned for the software that powers its smartphones, including the iPhone 13 models due out later this year.
iOS 15 latest news ( Updated at June 11) :-
• A "spatialize stereo" feature in the iOS 15 developer beta gives a spatial audio boost to non-Dolby Atmos content.
• Some iOS 15 features won't work on every supported iPhone. Here's a look at which iOS 15 features require an iPhone with an A12 Bionic processor or later (or an iPhone XR or later).

iOS 15 supported devices :-
Get ready for a surprise. If you can run iOS 14 on your iPhone, you can also run iOS 15. That's a bit of a shock, as rumors prior to the emergence of the iOS 15 developer beta, suggested the iPhone 6s and original iPhone SE were about to get dropped. That means you'll be able to run iOS 15 on hardware that first debuted in 2015.
Here's the list of supported devices according to Apple :-
• iPhone 6s
• iPhone 6s Plus
• iPhone SE (original model)
• iPod Touch (seventh-generation)
• iPhone 7
• iPhone 7 Plus
• iPhone 8
• iPhone 8 Plus
• iPhone X
• iPhone XR
• iPhone Xs
• iPhone Xs Max
• iPhone 11
• iPhone 11 Pro
• iPhone 11 Pro Max
• iPhone SE (2020)
• iPhone 12 mini
• iPhone 12
• iPhone 12 Pro
• iPhone 12 Pro Max
And, obviously, the iPhone 13 series will come with iOS 15 out of the box.
Be aware that some features won't work with every supported iPhone. Features that require a heavy amount of neural processing will need an A12 Bionic-powered iPhone or later. We've got a list of what will and won't work on which devices.
If you're wondering about iPad compatibility, remember that Apple split up the software for its phones and tablets several years ago. iPadOS 15 is adopting many of the features we'll talk about here, along with some iPad-specific changes that will sound familiar to iOS 14 users.
iOS 15 all features :-
• New FaceTime features :
FaceTime is getting some of the most substantive changes in iOS 15. The popular video chat is getting spatial audio to make sound feel more natural, plus voice isolation using machine learning and wide spectrum to bring in more ambient sounds
Better yet, for group Face Time calls, Apple is adding link creation (a la Google Meet and Zoom) so that even people on Android and Windows can join in via the browser. Apple has also added a grid view for group calls and a portrait mode to bring the focus on you.
• SharePlay :
SharePlay is a new way to share media experiences with your friends and family. If you're quite social and like to share music, videos, and your phone's screen, SharePlay is a new way to communicate in lieu of screenshots. You can, for example, listen to an album on Apple Music together, or watch a Netflix show together while chatting in iMessage with the picture-in-picture mode. SharePlay will work across iOS, iPadOS, and macOS.
• Notification :
iOS 15 takes a multi-pronged approach to fighting notification fatigue, and part of it starts with redesigning their look. Alerts from apps now include a larger app icon, while incoming messages, calls and email is highlighted by the picture of the person trying to reach (at least if there's a photo of them in your Contacts, one assumes). The idea is this makes it easier to do a visual triage of notifications — your eye will likely be drawn to the people you recognize and the apps you value.
• iOS 15 Focus Mode :
Notification management in iOS 15 also extends to a new Focus Mode Apple plans to introduce. Think of it as a more intelligent form of Do Not Disturb that's capable of recognizing which notifications you need to see at a given point in time and which ones can be kept out of view.
Do Not Disturb remains in iOS 15, but it's augmented by other Focus Mode settings — Personal, Work and Sleep are the defaults, but you can create your own for when you're gaming, reading, driving or doing other tasks. With each Focus Mode setting, you'll be able to specify what notifications do get through. Work mode, for example, could let in Slack messages from your team, email messages from your boss, and the like, just as the Personal setting could block out all those work messages.
Focus mode is about more than notifications, though. You can also set up specific home screens for the mode you're in. Again, using that Work Mode example, apps you need for your job would appear front and center in work mode, while potential distractions — games, social media, streaming apps — could be banished to the cornfield until you change your Focus setting.
The success of Focus Mode will depend on how easy it is to manage and how effective its notification-blocking powers are. But on paper, it sounds like an effective tool for helping you claw back more of your time and attention.
Similar to Google Lens, Apple will introduce Live Text to iOS 15. You'll be able to copy text from within a photo, screenshot, or web image.
• Visual Lookup :
Again, looking to Google Lens, Apple added Lookup, which lets you point your camera at something and look it up. It can recognize animals, nature, landmarks, art, and much more.
• Photos and Memories :
Apple is taking a page out of Google Photos' book and is adding new memories to Photos. These memories curate photos and adds music to them, creating a fun movie. You can change the music and pace, often creating something wholly different.
Photos will now also be searchable in Spotlight. You'll be able to search for photos by people and locations as well as objects in the photos themselves. And thanks to Live Text, you can even search for photos that have specific text in them.
• iOS 15 features Safari :
Safari's getting a more streamlined look on Macs, so Apple is adopting that for the iPhone's smaller screen. In iOS 15, that means a new look that moves the browser's tab bar shrinking and moving to the bottom of the screen. That makes it easier to access with one hand, even if you're using a larger iPhone. As you scroll down the page, the tab bar moves out of the way
The tab contains a lot of Safari's navigation in iOS 15, in fact, as it now integrates the smart search field. The tab bar is also where you'll access grouped tabs — another feature making its way over from macOS Monterey — where you can group together related browser windows. Your group tabs sync between devices, too, presuming you're using the test versions of iOS, iPadOS and macOS.
• Maps features in iOS 15
Safari gets the most dramatic overhaul, but Maps has its share of changes in iOS 15, too. The app will introduce a lot of enhanced details to show off mountain ranges and deserts. Apple also plans to add more details to city views, such as elevation, buildings, trees and detailed landmarks. Those will appear in select cities when iOS 15 launches and roll out to additional cities over time — the standard way Apple introduces many of its Maps improvements. You'll need an iPhone powered by an A12 Bionic processor or later to enjoy this feature.
One change that drivers will appreciate is the more detailed driving map that can show you lanes, crosswalks and medians, along with real-time traffic and road incidents. Particularly tricky interchanges will show up as a road-level 3D view to help you better navigate any lane changes or merges.
As a devotee of public transit, I'm looking forward to the improvements iOS 15 is introducing in the form of maps that show key routes, letting you follow along on your journey; you also get notifications when you're near your stop. Best of all, Maps will let you pin your favorite routes so that departure times will always appear when you're near a route.
• Messages in iOS 15
Messages received a lot of attention in iOS 14, so the chat app doesn’t get quite as much of a going-over in iOS 15. But since this is the app that a lot of iPhone users are spending their time in, you can expect a few enhancements to Messages.
The biggest change is a Shared With You feature. Now when someone shares a link to an Apple News story, an image in Photos, or a podcast episode in the Podcasts app, tapping the link takes you to a dedicated section in the corresponding app. (Apple Music and Apple TV will be supported too.) In the Shared With You section, you can reply to the person who sent you the link, without having to jump back to Messages; you can pin shared content in Messages as well for easy access later.
Memojis get the usual round of enhancements, with new clothing and eyewear choices, multicolored headwear, and accessibility options. The idea, as ever, is to continue to make Memojis as inclusive and personal as possible.
• iOS 15's Wallet
You know it's a pretty big iOS update when even Wallet is getting new features. Apple is building on the success of letting you use your iPhone as a car key to extend that support to home keys, office security cards and hotel keys. (And yes, iOS 15 should add support for more vehicles, too.) The success of this particular feature will hinge on getting support from smart lock makers, hotel chains and car makers, but something tells me those outfits will be eager to work with Apple on this.
Apple wants to further do away with your physical wallet by including identification cards in its mobile app. iOS 15 takes a big step toward this goal by letting you upload your drivers license or state ID card into your phone. Apple says that feature will come in late 2021, and be available in "participating states." We'll have to wait to find out which states have signed on, though. Likewise, Apple is working with the Transportation Safety Authority to present your digital ID at TSA checkpoints.
• iOS 15's Health additions
The Health app can already collect a lot of data about everything from steps to body measurements — so much so that iOS 15 is introducing a trends analysis feature that better charts your progress over time and even alerts you when it detects any new trends in your health. The update also adds the ability to monitor walking steadiness — a new metric that can help doctors determine if you're at risk of falling.
Perhaps the most significant change to Health in iOS 15 will be its ability to securely share all the data you have stored with your doctor. Likewise, family members will be able to share health data with each other — a welcome addition if you've got an older parent whose health you'd like to keep an eye on.
• iOS 15's Home app
Amazon's Alexa and the Google Assistant have a head start, but iOS 15's changes to HomeKit and the Home app should improve Apple's standing in the smart home world. The most significant change will be the addition of Siri to third-party devices. Siri support will require HomePod, but it means you'll be able to talk to Siri through more of your connected devices.
Home is also getting a package detection feature that uses HomeKit Secure Video, your security cameras and video doorbells to recognize packages and notify you that they've arrived at your home.
• Weather in iOS 15
Few apps have benefitted from an Apple acquisition the way the built-in Weather app has. Thanks to the purchase of Dark Sky, we saw some of those changes in iOS 14. But the version coming with iOS 15 figures to really improve the app's look and features — so much so that Apple's built-in tool will do a lot of the things you'd normally turn to one of the best weather apps to handle.
The Weather app will get an improved look in iOS 15, highlighted by new graphic displays that match the forecast, right down to the animated backgrounds. But Apple is also including precipitation, air quality, and temperature maps that show a greater amount of weather detail than you'd expect from a pre-installed weather app.
• Photo changes in iOS 15
The Photos app looks to enhance the Memories feature that collects photos about a particular occasion, place or person into a single album. Apple promises a more immersive version in iOS 15, with an interactive interface, automatic color adjustments and new animations. If you subscribe to Apple Music, you'll also be able to apply songs from that massive library as the backing tunes for your Memories.
I think the biggest change to photos stored on your phone, though, is that they're now searchable with the Spotlight search tool that you access by swiping down from the home screen. You'll be able to search for photos by people and locations as well as objects in the photos themselves. And thanks to Live Text, you can even search for photos that have specific text in them.
• New privacy tools in iOS 15
Apple's been making a big push with privacy in recent years, as it tries to differentiate itself from rival tech giants who've been more cavalier about user data. (No names, but the culprit Apple's probably thinking of rhymes with "Face" and "Book.") The recent iOS 14.5 update, for instance, added the ability to require third-party apps to ask your permission before they track you.
iOS 15 looks to continue those privacy efforts, highlighted by a new App Privacy Report feature in Settings that will detail just how frequently apps access your location, photos, camera, microphone and contacts. That way, you can revoke permissions if an app's being a little too forward. Apple also promises that its report card will show which apps are accessing other domains to give you a sense of where your information is being shared.
Mail will also become a little bit more secure in iOS 15, thanks to Apple's Mail Privacy protection feature. Turning on this capability hides your IP address and prevents senders from knowing if you've opened their email — a helpful tool for foiling any marketing campaigns that want to track you.
• Meet iCloud Plus
Apple plans to replace its paid iCloud storage plans with a new service called iCloud Plus. This is more than just a name change, though, as iCloud Plus introduces several new features, two of which are related to privacy. iCloud Private Relay lets you connect to websites while hiding your IP address and encrypting your activity; Hide My Email adopts a Sign In with Apple feature by creating unique, disposable email addresses for times when you don't want to share your real email address with an online form or registration. Additionally, iCloud Plus expands support for HomeKit Secure Video.
iCloud Plus plans start out at 50GB of storage with one HomeKit Secure Video camera for 99 cents a month and range up to 2TB of storage and unlimited cameras for $9.99 (740 Rs)/month.
