The countdown is almost over after months of waiting Apple WWDC 2022 will start in a few hours, revealing how many of the rumors we have heard in recent months have been confirmed and which have been postponed to future events hosted by those of Cupertino. And as is almost the case with Apple, we have no record of what they show us until the announcements are made.

And yes, I said almost always, because there are exceptions, specifically those that relate to recurring ads. For example, it is clear to us that at this WWDC 2022 Apple will announce future versions of its operating systems. And except in exceptional cases, such as 2020, we can be sure that the September keynote company will use it to introduce each new version of the iPhone.

Apart from these certainties, the rest is largely unknown, until a few hours before the celebration of the events There are constant rumors of possible announcements. And while WWDC 2022 is primarily a developer event (the full name is the WorldWide Developers Conference), it has also become a platform for Apple’s big announcements for a few years, making it an event of great interest. The general public.

So we will try to gather (little) certainty and (many rumors) to have the widest possible perspective of everything Apple enters with its WWDC 2022.

Starting with the safest of the WWDC 2022, we are meeting iOS 16, the operating system that comes with iPhones (besides some). There are rumors about his news for all tastes, from those who suggest that it will be an ongoing review, to those who point out that we can expect a lot of news. Perhaps we will see lock screens improved mainly by widgets and also everything needed for the arrival of a possible always-on screen of the iPhone 14 Pro. Beware, yes, if you are waiting for the next generation, it could come up with price increases.

QWho could put his chest on this WWDC 2022 is the ipadOS 16, operating system for Apple tablets. If rumors and predictions in this regard are confirmed, it could get up to two new and long-awaited features, to which should be added the arrival of professional, more demanding, full-featured software. the advantage of high performance iPad Pro components.

We will also see the rest of the operating systems, tvOS, watchOS, etc., but there are no particularly consolidated rumors about their possible future functions. However, they must be notified to WWDC 2022 so that developers have time to prepare their applications for them before launch.

Without leaving the operating systems, yes, we are facing the possibility of announcing realityOS, the long – awaited operating system that would launch the advent of augmented reality and virtual reality devices that Apple has been working on for so long. The big question is whether during WWDC 2022 we will only see software innovations, or whether, on the contrary, Apple will also tell us something about the hardware that will follow the given OS.

When it comes to hardware, it undoubtedly arouses the greatest conversation and expectations hypothetical presentation of the second generation Apple Silicon with Apple M2 chips. About a week ago, Mark Gurman raised the possibility that WWDC 2022 would be the presentation framework for the MacBook Air with Apple M2 SoC, but there has been speculation in recent hours of a complicated but possible presentation for the highly anticipated Mac Pro, the only device in the Apple catalog that still uses Intel processors. .

Both options make a lot of sense. The company announced Apple Silicon at WWDC 2020, so two years have passed, more than a reasonable term for his first generation leapand WWDC 2022 is the best context for such a presentation. And it would also be quite understandable if Apple wanted to go a long way and show what it did with its integrated, something that the Mac Pro, or perhaps still possible but less likely iMac Pro, can do. M2. And there is speculation with the Mac Mini with M2.

In addition, it has also been speculated possible iPad Pro 2022, HomePod 2022 which, as I understand it, would be the Mini, because the original HomePod was terminated and also some news about headphoneswhich may not be announced on WWDC 2022, but will be released at the same time as the event.
