Announced away from all the buzz that surrounds all things WWDC, the new Apple File System (APFS) is aimed at every product Apple makes, unifying the underlying file systems that everything from the company's wearables to its high-end workstations run on.
If you were sat watching Apple's iOS 10 section of opening WWDC keynote, then you probably felt your heart sink a little bit when the majority of the rich notifications demo was focused on using 3D Touch to interact with the content. Apple would obviously like as many people as possible to upgrade to the latest devices with the latest technology embedded within, but understands that that isn't always possible for everyone, and as such, likes to ensure that any new features are as universally accessible as possible for all iOS device owners even though that is not the case right now in beta 1.
WWDC 2016's opening keynote has come to a close and we now know just what Apple has been waiting to share with us for the last 12 months. Here's a roundup of everything announced at the event.
Apple's WWDC 2016 was as jam-packed as the earlier speculation suggested, and was full of the expected platform announcements with the official unveiling of iOS 10, macOS Sierra, watchOS 3 and tvOS 10. The opening keynote was also full of Apple's trademark videos that showcased the good that the company is doing in the world and the positive change that it is trying to enact, which this year includes trying to promote the benefits of coding with the Swift programming language through the new Swift Playgrounds iPad app.
Download links for both watchOS 3 beta 1 and tvOS 10 beta 1 are now live for developers to download and install on their Apple Watch and fourth-generation Apple TV. We can remember a time when Apple only had a couple of platform announcements to introduce during its annual Worldwide Developers Conference. Once upon a time, there was just the next-generation of iOS to introduce along with the next major version of macOS, the platform that powers Apple's Mac range of computers.
And the wait is finally over. Apple's macOS Sierra version 10.12 beta 1 is now live and available to download and install for developers. Those of you who are enrolled and registered on Apple Developer Program can instantly grab the latest beta version of desktop OS from Apple right now. As for those registered on the free Apple Public Beta Program, the company has confirmed that Sierra will be available to public testers in July.
The download links for iOS 10 beta 1 are now live and available for supported iPhone, iPad and iPod touch devices. As expected, Apple has used the opening keynote of this year's Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC 2016) to give us our first glimpse of iOS 10 firmware. Those registered on Apple's Developer Program can go ahead and download the latest version of iOS beta seed for their compatible devices right now. Apple's Public Beta Program users will get iOS 10 in July.
Apple has made iOS 10 for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch official. Here are all the new features and release details that you need to know about.
Apple's annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC 2016) is well and truly underway now at Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in San Francisco, California. Apple CEO Tim Cook has taken to stage now to kick off the event. He has started off first by talking about yesterday's tragic event in Orlando, followed by some of the stats and figures about both, WWDC attendees at the event, as well as the Apple as a company itself and its performance over the last few months.
It sometimes feels as though Apple's annual Worldwide Developers Conference - affectionately referred to as WWDC or "Dub Dub" - is as popular and as highly anticipated as the announcements that get made during its opening keynote. The Cupertino-based company's annual event - which will see thousands of developers cram into the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium before heading over to Moscone West - is only a matter of hours away, and will give us our first insight into the next versions of a number of Apple's major platforms, and of course, we will be there to cover it all live and keep you abreast of exactly what's announced.
