From an empty Steve Jobs Theater on Apple's campus, company executives like CEO Tim Cook and Craig Federighi, senior vice president of software engineering, took the stage to detail what's next for the iPhone, Apple Watch, Mac, and other major products. Apple typically hosts thousands of developers at the San Jose Convention Center for WWDC.
Among the biggest announcements of the day was the unveil of iOS 14, Apple's next big software update for the iPhone. With iOS 14, Apple is introducing a new home screen that makes it easier to categorize apps in view more information at a glance, new features for Messages, and App Clips. That's a new feature which makes it possible to access certain features of an app without actually launching the full program.
Apple also took the wraps off its next Apple Watch update, which will include sleep tracking for the first time — a feature it's long been missing compared to Fitbit.
And in one of Apple's most significant shifts yet, the company announced that it will develop its own silicon for future Mac models rather than using Intel's chips.
The event started with the unveil of iOS 14, it's next major software update for the iPhone that brings a variety of new features.
Among the most noticeable changes is the new home screen for the iPhone, which has a new space called the App Library. These are folders that your iPhone creates automatically for grouping together apps by category, including Recently Added apps and Suggestions.
Apple is also making a big change to the way widgets look in iOS 14. Rather than having static uniform blocks on the Today panel, the new widgets will come in different sizes and offer much more data at a glance. You can also drag them over to the main home screen so that you can get to them more easily. It's the biggest change Apple has made to the home screen in years.
